Step 2  Installing the supplied 
software “PMB”
Install “PMB” before connecting your 
camcorder to a computer.
If a version of “PMB” supplied with another 
device has already been installed on the 
computer, check the version. (The version 
number is displayed by clicking [Help] - [About 
PMB].) Compare the version number of the 
supplied CD-ROM with that of the previously 
installed “PMB,” check to ensure that the 
versions have been installed in order, from the 
lower to the higher. If the version number of 
the previously installed “PMB” is higher than 
that of the “PMB” of your camcorder, uninstall 
“PMB” from the computer and then re-install 
it in order, from lower to higher. If you install a 
higher version of “PMB” first, some functions 
may not work correctly.
