Notes
Always maintain your PlayStation3 to use
the latest version of the PlayStation3 system
software.
The PlayStation3 may not be available in some
countries/regions.
Delete the demonstration movie when dubbing
or creating discs. If it is not deleted, the
camcorder may not operate correctly. However,
you cannot recover the demonstration movie
once you delete it.
The AVCHD disc can be played back only on
AVCHD format compatible devices.
The AVCHD disc should not be used in DVD
players/recorders. Because DVD players/
recorders are not compatible with the AVCHD
format, DVD players/recorders may fail to eject
the disc.
You cannot create an AVCHD disc from a
movie recorded with [HD FX] mode of
[REC MODE]. Save a movie recorded with
[HD FX] mode onto Blu-ray discs or external
storage devices (p. 46).
