If you run into any problems using your camcorder, refer to the following table to troubleshoot
then. If your problem persists, remove the power source and contact your Sony dealer.
Note before sending your camcorder for repair
• Your camcorder may be requireed to initialize or change the current hard disk of the camcorder, depending
on the problem. In the event of this, the data stored on the hard disk will be deleted. Be sure to save (backup)
the data on the hard disk (p.44) on the other media before sending your camcorder to repair. We cannot
guarantee any loss of your hard disk data.
• During repair, we may check a minimum amount of data stored on the hard disk in order to improve the
condition. However, your Sony dealer will neither copy nor save your data.
The camcorder does not operate even when the power is set to on.
• Remove the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet or remove the battery pack, then reconnect it after
about one minute. If the functions still do not work, press the RESET button (p.37) using a
sharp-pointed object. (If you press the RESET button, all settings are reset, except the Personal
Menu items.)
• The temperature of your camcorder is extremely high. Turn off your camcorder and leave it
for a while in a cool place.
• The temperature of your camcorder is extremely low. With POWER switch turned on, leave
