VIDEO mode: A disc has wide compatibility with other players.

VR mode: A disc can be edited on DVD Handycam but the players are limited.

*DVD-R/RW discs recorded by Sony DVD Handycam camcorders are designed to be compatible with and may be played back on most home DVD players, computer DVD drives, and PlayStation 2 video game consoles.**

**Playback on all home DVD players, computer DVD drives, and PlayStation 2 consoles cannot be guaranteed. Some players, drives, and video game consoles lack the ability to read due to the optical reflection standards of DVD-R/RW discs and/or due to encoding incompatibilities. Refer to the specifications of your playback equipment for additional compatibility information.
