The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a
radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply
unit (battery pack, AC Power Adapter/Battery Charger, etc.) and clock battery; and then re-connect it and
proceed as usual from the beginning.
