Making the disc compatible with playback on other devices (Finalizing) (Continued)

You cannot create the disc menu with DVD-RW (VR mode) for the SD (standard definition) image quality.

Playing a disc on other devices

On the other devices

The kind of device you can play a disc on depends on the image quality (HD (high definition) or SD (standard definition)) selected when the disc was recorded. For details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your device or consult your dealer.

Discs recorded with HD (high definition) image qualityThis camcorder captures high definition footage in the AVCHD format.

DVD media containing AVCHD footage should not be used with DVD based players or recorders, as the DVD player/recorder may fail to eject the media and may erase its contents without warning. DVD media containing AVCHD footage may be played on a compatible Blu-ray Discplayer/ recorder or other compatible device.

Discs recorded with SD (standard definition) image quality

You can play these discs back on DVD devices. However, we do not guarantee playback on all DVD devices.

Make sure that you finalize a recorded disc

(p. 75). However, when you record movies with SD (standard definition) image quality on a DVD+RW disc, you can play the disc without finalizing it (p. 73).

Do not use an 8 cm CD adaptor with an 8 cm DVD as it may cause a malfunction.

Make sure that a vertically installed device is placed in a position such as that the disc can be placed horizontally.

If you have inserted a disc recorded in the AVCHD format in a DVD device, there is a risk that you can neither record nor play back the disc correctly on your camcorder.

Some discs cannot be played back, may freeze for an instant between scenes. Some functions may be disabled on some devices.
