Notes
The AVCHD recording disc can be played back only on AVCHD format compatible devices.
Discs with high definition image quality (HD) images recorded should not be used in DVD players/
recorders. Because DVD players/recorders are not compatible with the AVCHD format, DVD players/
recorders may fail to eject the disc.
Delete the demonstration movie when copying or creating discs. If it is not deleted, the camcorder may
not operate correctly. However, you cannot recover the demonstration movie once you delete it.
