video recording quality.

*4:Linear PCM recording (see “Terminology”, P. 160) (If your DVD player does not conform to MPEG audio player 2,

Note :
• Audio in XTRA, FINE or STD mode is recorded in the MPEG audio layer 2 format, which is the option standard of DVD
video standard.
• No movie can be recorded on SD memory card or MultiMediaCard.
• Although the movie quality mode can be changed midway for recordings on DVD-RAM disc, it cannot be changed
on DVD-R disc once the mode has been decided.
• If you record in XTRA mode at high temperatures, the DVD video camera/recorder will get hot and the maximum
transfer rate will be limited to approx. 6 Mbps.
• If a disc recorded is used at high temperatures, normal playback may be impossible: Turn the DVD video camera/
recorder off once, wait until the ambient temperature becomes lower, and then operate it again.
