IMPORTANT • AVCHD discs containing scenes recorded in MXP mode cannot be created with the optional DW-100 DVD burner. Use the software on the supplied Video Tools CD-ROM to save such scenes. • While the camcorder is connected to the DVD Burner, do not open the memory card slot cover and do not remove the memory card. • Observe the following precautions while the ACCESS indicator on the camcorder is on or flashing. Failing to do so may result in permanent data loss. -Do not open the memory card slot cover. -Do not disconnect the USB cable. -Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder or the DVD Burner. -Do not change the camcorder’s operating mode. • For important information on handling your discs, refer to DW-100 Cautions on handling. NOTES • If a scene does not fit entirely in one disc, it may be divided and continue on the next disc. • When the camcorder contains a large number of scenes to be saved on discs, it may take a long time for the connection to the DVD Burner (step 2 above) to be completed. For best performance, we recommend limiting the number of scenes to be saved to 500 or fewer scenes. (With 500 scenes, it will take approximately 3 minutes to complete the connection.) • In addition to the JPG image files, Photo DVDs contain a slideshow of all the photos saved (each played back for approximately 3 seconds). 128 • External Connections Playing back high-definition (AVCHD) discs created with the DW-100 DVD Burner Type of external player > DVD players or Blu-ray Disc players compatible with AVCHD DVD players not compatible with AVCHD* Disc content v Discs containing only scenes recorded in FXP/XP+/SP/LP mode Can be played back Cannot be played back* * Do not insert a disc into an incompatible device, as you may not be able t...
