Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the provision of the copyright laws. Precautions on camcorder care
• The LCD screen and/or the colour viewfinder are manufactured using high-precision technology. However, there may be some tiny black spots and/or bright spots (red, blue or green in colour) that constantly appear on the LCD screen and/or in the colour viewfinder. These spots occur normally in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recorded picture in any way. Effective number of pixels is 99.99% or more.
• Do not let your camcorder get wet. Keep your camcorder away from rain and sea water. Letting your camcorder get wet may cause your camcorder to malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired [a].
• Never leave your camcorder exposed to temperatures above 60°C (140°F), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight [b].
• Do not place your camcorder so as to point the viewfinder or the LCD screen toward the sun. The inside of the viewfinder or LCD screen may be damaged [c]. [a] [b] Contents of the recording cannot be compensated if recording or playback is not made due to a malfunction of the camcorder, video tape, etc. Системы цветного телевидения отличаются в зависимости от страны. Для просмотра Ваших записей на экране телевизора Вам необходимо использовать телевизор, основанный на системе PAL.

Getting started Подготовка к эксплуатации Use the battery pack after charging it for your camcorder. Your camcorder operates only with the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (M series).

Note Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the DC plug of the AC power adaptor. This may cause a short-circuit, damaging the AC power adaptor.

Step 1 Preparing the power supply Connecting to the mains When you use your camcorder for a long time, we recommend that you power it from the mains using the AC power adaptor. (1) Open the DC IN jack cover, pulling the cover out a little and rotating it. Connect the AC power adaptor to the DC IN jack on your camcorder with the plug’s v mark facing up. (2) Connect the mains lead to the AC power adaptor. (3) Connect the mains lead to the mains.

WARNING The mains lead must only be changed at a qualified service shop. PRECAUTION The set is not disconnected from the AC power source (the mains) as long as it is connected to the mains, even if the set itself has been turned off. Notes

• The AC power adaptor can supply power even if the battery pack is attached to your camcorder.
• The DC IN jack has “source priority”. This means that the battery pack cannot supply any power if the mains lead is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the mains lead is not plugged into the mains.
• Keep the AC power adaptor away from your camcorder if the picture is disturbed.

To eject a cassette Для извлечения кассеты Follow the procedure above and in step 2, take out the cassette. Выполните приведенную выше процедуру в пункте 2, выньте кассету. Notes

• Do not press the cassette compartment down. Doing so may cause malfunction.

Вы можете использовать только кассеты мини DV *. Вы не можете использовать какие-либо другие кассеты типа 8 мм, Hi8, Digital8, VHS, VHSC, S-VHS, S-VHSC, Betamax или типа DV. Additional Information The IC memory is mounted on this type of mini DV cassette. Your camcorder can read and write data such as dates of recording or titles, etc. to this memory. The functions using the cassette memory require successive signals recorded on the tape. If the tape has a blank portion in the beginning or between the recorded portions, a title may not be displayed properly or the search functions may not work properly. Not to make any blank portion on the tape, operate the followings. Press END SEARCH to go to the end of the recorded portion before you begin the next recording if you operate the followings: – you have ejected the cassette while recording. – you have played back the tape in the PLAYER. – you have used the edit search function. If there is a blank portion or discontinuous signal on your tape, re-record from the beginning to the end of the tape concerning above. The same result may occur when you record using a digital video camera recorder without a cassette memory function on a tape recorded by one with the cassette memory function. Tapes with cassette memory have (Cassette Memory) mark. Sony recommends that you use a tape having mark to enjoy your camcorder fully. Выбор типа кассет

Cleaning the LCD screen If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen dirty, we recommend using a LCD Cleaning Kit (not supplied) to clean the LCD screen. Charging the vanadium-lithium battery in your camcorder Your camcorder is supplied with a vanadiumlithium battery installed so as to retain the date and time, etc., regardless of the setting of the POWER switch. The vanadium-lithium battery is always charged as long as you are using your camcorder. The battery, however, will get discharged gradually if you do not use your camcorder. It will be completely discharged in about a half year if you do not use your camcorder at all. Even if the vanadium-lithium battery is not charged, it will not affect the camcorder operation. To retain the date and time, etc., charge the battery if the battery is discharged. Charging the vanadium-lithium battery:

• Connect your camcorder to mains using the AC power adaptor supplied with your camcorder, and leave your camcorder with the POWER switch turned off for more than 24 hours.
• Or install the fully charged battery pack in your camcorder, and leave your camcorder with the POWER switch turned off for more than 24 150 hours.
