When using a DVD disc:

The surface of the DVD disc may be dirty, or quality of the DVD disc may be poor. If this problem occurs often, try the following

• Wipe away the dust or fingerprint on the disc lightly with a cleaning cloth from the center of the disc to the edge.
• We recommend the use of discs manufactured by Sony, or discs with "for Handycam" or "for VIDEO CAMERA" logo. The recording surface of these discs, coated with high-quality protective film, is less susceptible to scratches than uncoated one, and reduces error when recording or playing back.
• Some DVD discs in the market are poor in quality and may not comply with the DVD disc standards. Sony does not assure the writing/reading performance or compatibility of all the discs available in the market.

When using a memory card:

If you have a bad connection between the card slot of the camcorder and a memory card, the memory card may not be recognized properly.

• Wipe the dust away on the terminal of the memory card with a dry cloth or a cotton swab and insert the memory card again. Do not touch the terminal with your hands or metals.
• If you have multiple memory cards, try using another memory card.

If the problem persists even if you try the above, the camcorder may need to be repaired.
