∫About recording formats when copying motion pictures
[AVCHD] ([HA]/[HG]/[HX]/[HE]):
The scenes recorded in 1080/60p by this unit will be copied after converting to AVCHD 
picture quality. Normal scenes will be copied as  high definition picture quality as recorded.
≥ When copying scenes recorded in 1080/60p, select the recording picture quality ([HA]/
[HG]/[HX]/[HE]).
[Standard] ([XP]/[SP]):
Images are converted into the original st andard picture quality and then copied.
≥ Since XP has a higher picture quality compared to SP, the data capacity becomes large so 
that you may need more discs for copying than SP.
Before you delete the data on the media after copying is complete, be sure to play 
back the discs to check that they have been copied to correctly. ( l11 4)
Important Notice≥When connecting an optional DVD burner and this unit for copying a disc, do not 
insert a disc with recorded motion pictures in high definition picture quality into 
devices that do not support the AVCHD format. In some cases the disc may get 
stuck in the device. The disc will not play back on devices that do not support the 
AVCHD format.
≥ When inserting a disc containing recorded motion/still pictures into other 
devices, a message prompting you to format the disc may be displayed. Do not 
format the disc, since deleted data cannot be restored later.
