Finalizing the Disc

To play the disc you recorded on a DVD player, a computer’s DVD drive or other digital device, you need to finalize it first. You do not need to finalize the disc to play back your recordings with the camcorder connected to the TV.

IMPORTANT

•Be sure to finalize the disc in normal room temperatures. If the procedure was not completed correctly due to high temperature, let the camcorder cool off before resuming operation.

•Place the camcorder on a table or other stable surface before starting the procedure. Subjecting the camcorder even to slight impacts (for example to place it on a table or to disconnect a cable) after the finalization process started may result in permanent data loss.

•Discs recorded in HD quality can be played back only with AVCHD-

compatible DVD players ( 70).

•Do not disconnect the compact power adapter while the operation is in progress. Doing so can interrupt the process and result in permanent data loss.
