*1 Refer to the instruction manual of your DVD device to see whether it supports the VR mode of DVD-RW. *2 Formatting deletes all recordings and returns the recording medium to its original empty state (p.59). Even

when using a new disc, format it with your camcorder (p.28).

*3 Finalizing is required to play the disc in a DVD drive on a computer. A DVD+RW that is not finalized may cause the computer to malfunction.
