On the other devices
The kind of device you can play a disc on
depends on the image quality (HD (high
definition) or SD (standard definition))
selected when the disc was recorded. For
details, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with your device or consult your
dealer.
Discs recorded with HD (high
definition) image quality
This camcorder captures high definition
footage in the AVCHD format.
DVD media containing AVCHD footage
should not be used with DVD based players
or recorders, as the DVD player/recorder
may fail to eject the media and may erase
its contents without warning. DVD media
containing AVCHD footage may be played
on a compatible Blu-ray Disc™ player/
recorder or other compatible device.
Discs recorded with SD (standard
definition) image quality
You can play these discs back on DVD
devices. However, we do not guarantee
playback on all DVD devices.
b Notes
• Make sure that you finalize a recorded disc
(p. 73). However, when you record movies with
SD (standard definition) image quality on a
DVD+RW disc, you can play the disc without
finalizing it (p. 71).
• Do not use an 8 cm CD adaptor with an 8 cm
DVD as it may cause a malfunction.
• Make sure that a vertically installed device is
placed in a position such as that the disc can be
placed horizontally.
• If you have inserted a disc recorded in the
AVCHD format in a DVD device, there is a risk
that you can neither record nor play back the
disc correctly on your camcorder.
• Some discs cannot be played back, may freeze
for an instant between scenes. Some functions
may be disabled on some devices.
