Troubleshooting
If you run into any problems using your
camcorder, follow the steps below.
Check the list (p. 84 to 93), and
inspect your camcorder.
Disconnect the power source, attach
the power source again after about 1
minute, and turn the camcorder on.
Press RESET (p. 105) using a pointed
object, and turn the camcorder on.
If you press RESET, all settings,
including the clock setting, are reset.
Contact your Sony dealer or local
authorized Sony service facility.
Your camcorder may be required to initialize
or change the current internal memory
(HDR-CX160E/CX180E) of your camcorder,
depending on the problem. In the event of
this, the data stored on the internal memory
will be deleted. Be sure to save the data on the
internal memory on other media (backup)
before sending your camcorder for repair. We
will not compensate you for any loss of internal
memory data.
During repair, we may check a minimum
amount of data stored on the internal memory
in order to investigate the problem. However,
your Sony dealer will neither copy nor retain
your data.
