*4:Linear PCM recording (see “Terminology”, P. 160) (If your DVD player does not conform to MPEG audio player 2, record in LPCM mode)

Note:

•Audio in XTRA, FINE or STD mode is recorded in the MPEG audio layer 2 format, which is the option standard of DVD video standard.

•No movie can be recorded on SD memory card or MultiMediaCard.

•Although the movie quality mode can be changed midway for recordings on DVD-RAM disc, it cannot be changed on DVD-R disc once the mode has been decided.

•If you record in XTRA mode at high temperatures, the DVD video camera/recorder will get hot and the maximum transfer rate will be limited to approx. 6 Mbps.

•If a disc recorded is used at high temperatures, normal playback may be impossible: Turn the DVD video camera/ recorder off once, wait until the ambient temperature becomes lower, and then operate it again.
