∫About recording formats when copying motion pictures
[AVCHD] ([HA]/[HG]/[HX]/[HE]):Copying scenes of 1080/60p picture quality
The scenes recorded in 1080/60p by this unit will be copied after converting to AVCHD 
picture quality.
When copying scenes recorded in 1080/60p, select the recording picture quality ([HA]/
[HG]/[HX]/[HE]).
Copying scenes of AVCHD picture quality The scenes recorded in AVCHD format will be copied as high definition picture quality as 
recorded.
[Standard] ([XP]/[SP]):Copying scenes of 1080/60p or AVCHD picture quality
Images are converted into the original standard 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. ( l110)
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.
