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.

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
