PLAYLIST

What’s a “Playlist?”

The playlist is created by gathering your favourite recorded movie images. Since the playlist is not created by copying 
data, it will consume little of the storage capacity. When creating or deleting a playlist, the original movie image will 
not be erased. In addition, adding or deleting movie images from a playlist does not affect the original movie images.
