Yeah, you'll notice I edited my last post to remove any implication of snarkiness on my part as well....

One useful tip for those trying to make sense of Sony documentation: They never tell you what the machines CAN'T do, only what they can (usually) so while they'll never say "This has nothing to do with recording" or "This isn't about HDV," they'll usually say something like "It does X" and you should never assume it also does "Y."

Although sometimes it does.
