This unit can also be connected to other
i.LINK (DV Interface) compatible devices
made by Sony (e.g. a VAIO series personal
computer) as well as to video devices.
Some i.LINK compatible video devices,
such as Digital Televisions, DVD,
MICROMV or HDV recorders/players are

confirm whether the device is compatible
with a DV device or not. For details on

b Notes
Do not connect cables to your VCR with their
terminals placed the wrong way. Forcing the
connectors into your VCR’s jacks may damage
them or result in a malfunction of your VCR.
When using the 4 pin jacks, align the v mark on
the i.LINK cable plug with the V mark on DV
jack before connecting.
Connect the i.LINK cable to the other device
first, then to your VCR. Connecting to your
VCR first may cause static discharge, resulting
in a malfunction of your VCR.
If you connect a device that has an i.LINK
terminal to your VCR via an i.LINK cable,
switch off the device and unplug it from the
power socket before connecting/disconnecting
the i.LINK cable; otherwise, high voltage
current may be present at the i.LINK terminal of
the device, which could create a malfunction.
On use and care
Do not use or store the camcorder and
accessories in the following locations.
Anywhere extremely hot or cold. Never leave
them exposed to temperatures above 60 °C
(140 °F), such as under direct sunlight, near
heaters or in a car parked in the sun. They
may malfunction or become deformed.
Near strong magnetic fields or mechanical
vibration. The camcorder may malfunction.
Near strong radio waves or radiation. The
camcorder may not be able to record properly.
Near AM receivers and video equipment.
Noise may occur.
On a sandy beach or anywhere dusty. If sand
or dust gets in your camcorder, it may
malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction
cannot be repaired.
Near windows or outdoors, where the LCD
screen, the viewfinder, or the lens may be
exposed to direct sunlight. This damages the
inside of the viewfinder or the LCD screen.
Anywhere very humid.
Operate your camcorder on DC 7.2 V (battery
pack) or DC 8.4 V (AC Adaptor).
For DC or AC operation, use the accessories
recommended in these operating instructions.
Do not let your camcorder get wet, for example,
from rain or sea water. If your camcorder gets
wet, it may malfunction. Sometimes this
malfunction cannot be repaired.
If any solid object or liquid gets inside the
casing, unplug your camcorder and have it
checked by a Sony dealer before operating it
any further.
Avoid rough handling, disassembling,
modifying, physical shock, or impact such as
hammering, dropping or stepping on the
product. Be particularly careful of the lens.
Do not use a deformed or damaged battery pack.
Keep the POWER switch setting to OFF (CHG)
when you are not using your camcorder.
Do not wrap your camcorder with a towel, for
example, and operate it. Doing so might cause
heat to build up inside.
When disconnecting the power cord (mains
lead), pull it by the plug and not the lead.
Do not damage the power cord (mains lead)
such as by placing anything heavy on it.
Keep metal contacts clean.
Keep the Remote Commander and button-type
battery out of children’s reach. If the battery is
accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor
