Notes on copying on discs
• You cannot copy:
- videos with copy-protection signals (commercial DVDs, VHS software, some programs from
satellite or CATV receivers, etc.).
- videos to a disc (unfinalized) created with device other than the DVDirect.
• You cannot record video unsupported by DVDirect via USB or a memory card inserted into the
DVDirect’s slot (for example, MPEG1 or MPEG4, other than AVCHD, etc. taken with a mobile phone
or web-camcorder). You can record video using A/V cable.
• Videos will be recorded in SD (Standard Definition) quality, because HD (High Definition) is
unavailable when recording:
- HD videos recorded in REC mode at a bit rate exceeding 18Mbps, such as in [HD FX] mode (for
example, High Definition Handycam
®
) in AVCHD format.
- HD videos recorded on a DV tape using Sony High Definition Handycam
®
(HDV format).
- HD videos recorded with an HD (High Definition) compatible camera other than AVCHD format.
• If you erase or edit a video on a camera with a computer or Playstation 3
®
, you may not be able to copy
videos properly by connecting the camera to the DVDirect. Use the camera to erase or edit video.
Notes on copying multiple types of image
• The DVDirect will copy photos and videos onto discs in the following order:
• SD (Standard Definition) videos and HD (High Definition) videos will be recorded on separate discs.
• Photos and videos are recorded on the same disc.
• Depending on the disc inserted in the DVDirect for recording and type of images to copy, the order may
differ, or a new disc may be needed.

• You can only play discs recorded with the DVDirect.
• You cannot play commercial DVDs, or discs recorded on a device other than the DVDirect.
• You cannot play an 8cm disc or a memory card.
