Getting Started
Step 2 Preparing the power supply
Connecting to a wall outlet
When you use your camcorder for a long time, we recommend that you power it from a
wall outlet using the AC Adaptor.
(1) Open the DC IN jack cover and connect the AC Adaptor to the DC IN jack on
your camcorder with the plug’s v mark facing toward the LCD panel side.
(2) Connect the power cord to the AC Adaptor.
(3) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
Precaution
The set is not disconnected from the AC power source (house current) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the set itself has been turned off.
Notes
The power cord must only be changed at an authorized service shop.
•AC Adaptor can supply power even if the battery pack is attached to your camcorder.
•Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow space, such as between a wall and
furniture.
•The DC IN jack has source priority. This means that the battery pack cannot supply
any power if the power cord is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the power
cord is not plugged into a wall outlet.
Using a car battery
Use the Sony DC Adaptor/Charger (optional).
