b Notes
• The above operating environment is for playing
movies with [HD SP] image quality (7 Mbps)
on a computer.
• Even in a computer environment where the
operations are guaranteed, frames may be
dropped from movies with HD (high definition)
image quality, resulting in uneven playback.
However, imported images and images on discs
created subsequently will not be affected.
• Operations are not guaranteed, even on
computers fulfilling the above system
requirements. For example, other open or
background applications currently running may
limit product performance.
• “Picture Motion Browser” does not support
5.1ch surround sound reproduction. The sound
is reproduced in 2ch sound.
• If you use a Notebook PC, connect it to the AC
Adaptor as the power source when you view or
edit movies recorded in HD (high definition)
format. Otherwise, the software will not work
properly due to the power saving function of the
PC.
• When you perform the One Touch Disc Burn
operation, a long scene may be separated into
plural discs or scenes, depending on the scene
length.
• You can read images recorded on a “Memory
Stick PRO Duo” in a Memory Stick slot of a
computer. However, in the following cases, do
not use the Memory Stick slot of the computer,
but connect your camcorder to the computer
with the USB cable:
– The computer is not compatible with a
“Memory Stick PRO Duo.”
– A Memory Stick Duo adaptor is required.
– A “Memory Stick PRO Duo” cannot be read
in the Memory Stick slot.
– Reading data from the Memory Stick slot is
slow.
