Notes
  • The AVCHD recording disc can be played back only on AVCHD format compatible devices.

  • Discs with high definition image quality (HD) images recorded should not be used in DVD players/recorders. Because DVD players/recorders are not compatible with the AVCHD format, DVD players/recorders may fail to eject the disc.

  • Always keep your PlayStation®3 upgraded to the latest version of its system software. The PlayStation®3 may not be available in some countries/regions.
