play it. Proper movie playback may not be possible for data accessed over a
network, from a memory card, etc.
• Proper movie playback may not be possible on some computers. If you experience
problems, try the following.
– Try recording movies with a quality setting of “STD”.

available HDMI cable to connect to the HDMI terminal of a TV or computer and play
back movies that way.
