∫If scenes do not change smoothly when played back on another 
device
The images may be still for several seconds at  the joins between the scenes if the following 
operations are performed when multiple scenes have been continuously played back using 
another unit.
≥ Just how smoothly the scenes will be play ed back depends on the playback unit. 
Depending on the unit used, the images may stop moving and become still for a moment 
even when none of the following conditions are applicable.
≥ A continuous recording of motion picture data that exceeds 4 GB may momentarily stop at 
every 4 GB of data when played back with another device.
≥ It may not play back smoothly when the editing of scenes was done with the HD Writer XE 
1.0, but it will play back smoothly if you set the seamless settings in the HD Writer XE 1.0. 
Refer to the operating instructions for the HD Writer XE 1.0.
About recovery
If faulty management information is found, the messages may appear and a repair is 
performed. (Repairing may take time depending on the error.)
≥  is displayed when abnormal management information is detected when the scenes 
are displayed in thumbnail.
≥ Use a sufficiently charged battery or the AC adaptor.
≥ Depending on the condition of the data, it may not be possible to completely repair the 
data.
≥ If recovery fails, it will not be possible to play back scenes recorded before the unit turned 
off.
≥ When data recorded on another device is recovered, it may not be possible to play back 
the data on this unit or the other device.
≥ If recovery fails, turn the unit off and on again after waiting awhile. If recovery fails 
repeatedly, format a media on the unit. Please be aware that if a media is formatted, then 
all the data recorded on the media will be erased.
≥ If the thumbnail information is recovered, displaying the thumbnails may become slower.
Principal reasons for not playing back smoothly
≥ When the scenes were recorded on different dates
≥ When scenes lasting under 3 seconds have been recorded
≥ When PRE-REC was used for recording
≥ When deleting scenes
≥ When scenes recorded more than 99 scenes on the same date
