Possible that you will need to format off the hard disc and clean off all the files present. The camcorder seems to hang up as there is some errors occurs on the hard disc. If this wont solve it is possible that some sectors in the hard disc can be faulty.

Hello anyone help me with my hitachi dz-bx300a dvd camcorder? I can record video buy I dont have sound when I record?

The DVD which you have formatted might have got corrupted. In most of the cases, some camcorders or other devices will not accept the formatted DVD's. Try using a new DVD CD.

Sounds like you are useing the wrong disk!..or the lock is on the on posistion on camera!

Sorry, but as far as I know, Hitachi camcorders cannot record video directly onto an SD card. You have to set the camcorder to DVD. It can only record video and pictures on a DVD, and only pictures on an SD card.
