However, recordings cannot be edited (deleted, rearranged, etc.). VR mode: You can easily edit the recordings. However, discs recorded in VR mode can be played back only with DVD players compatible with DVD-RWs in VR mode.

Note that attempting to record or play with this camcorder DVD discs that were recorded, initialized or finalized with other digital devices can result in damage to the camcorder or in the permanent loss of the recordings. Playback on external devices Make sure to finalize discs ( 68) before you play them back on external DVD devices. The disc's type and quality will affect its compatibility with external devices. For a summary, you can refer to the sidebar on page 70. However, to be sure, always refer to the instruction manual of the external device and make sure it is compatible before inserting the disc. For the highest compatibility with external DVD devices we recommend using SD quality in VIDEO mode. ** As of April 2007 the camcorder's performance has been tested using DVD discs made by Hitachi-Maxell, Panasonic and TDK as well. The use of other discs may result in incorrect recording/playback or in not being able to remove the disc. 7
