Note:

TO PLAY BACK A DVD DISC

Discs created with this camcorder and the DVD burner can be played back on DVD players and computers that meet the following requirements:

• Compatible with the discs you created (DVD-R/DVD-R DL/DVD-RW discs)
• Compatible with DVD-Video specifications
• DVD playback software that is installed and running (in the case of computers)
• Disconnect the USB cable before changing the operating mode.
• The amount of time required for step 2 depends on how many scenes are being included on a disc. We recommend keeping the number of scenes to 2000 or less. (In such case, the connection time will be about 3 minutes 30 seconds).
