Disc and card information 
This chart shows the different type of cards recorded with other devices that you can use.
In these operating instructions, the cards shown in the table ( Dbelow) are comprehensively called SD cards.
* Including miniSD Card and microSD Card
≥ A miniSD Card and a microSD Card must be used with the 
attached adaptor that comes with the card.
≥ When using from 4 GB to 32 GB SD cards, only SD cards 
that display the SDHC logo can be used.
≥ This unit is compatible with SD Memory Cards that meet 
SD Card Specifications FAT12 and FAT16 formats, as well 
as SDHC Memory Cards in FAT32 format. ≥
Usable memory is slightly less than the card capacity.
≥ If the SD card is formatted on a PC, you may not be able to use it on 
this unit.
≥ We recommend using a Panasonic SD card.
Please confirm the latest information on the following website. 
http://panasonic.co.jp/pavc/global/cs  
(This site is in English only.)
≥ Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent 
swallowing.
≥ When a card recorded in the AVCHD format is being played, the 
video may be paused for a few seconds at portions spliced, due to 
deletion or edition.
≥ Switch the write-protect switch to  the “LOCK” position to protect the 
content from accidental erasure.
Many BD-Video movie contents are recorded in 24 frames/second in  accordance with the film materials. However, they will normally be output in 
60 frames/second in accordance with the display format.
These can be output in 24p as the original. Therefore, high-qua lity video can be enjoyed with improved clarity, enhanced perspe ctive, etc.
NECESSARY CONNECTIONS
≥ Connect to a TV supporting 1080/24p input via an HDMI cable.
NECESSARY SETTINGS
≥ “24p Output”: “On” ( >36)
