Before using the 8 cm DVD-R disc recorded on this

DVD video camera/recorder on a DVD player or

DVD recorder that is compatible with 8 cm DVD-

R disc, the disc must be finalized on this DVD video

camera/recorder. For the finalizing procedure of 8

cm DVD-R disc, refer to “Finalizing Disc” (p. 88).

● When using DVD-R disc

If you finalize a recorded DVD-R disc, you can play

it back on devices that are compatible with 8 cm

DVD-R disc, or (on) computers* with DVD-ROM

drive, DVD-R drive or DVD-RAM drive.

• Although most DVD-R discs recorded on this

DVD video camera/recorder are compatible for

playback on other DVD players, playback of all

DVD-R discs cannot be guaranteed.

Depending on the DVD player, DVD-R disc, or re-

cording conditions, playback may not be possible.

In such cases, use this DVD video camera/recorder

to play back the DVD-R disc.

* To play back the finalized DVD-R disc on PC,

you will need DVD playback software. The DVD

playback software “Power DVD XP” is supplied

with the optional DZ-WINPC3(W).
