Insert two size AA (R6) batteries by matching the + and - polarities on the batteries to
the + - marks inside the battery compartment.
Notes on the Remote Commander
l
Point the remote sensor away from strong light sources such as direct sunlight or
overhead lighting. Otherwise, the Remote Commander may not function properly.
l
Your camcorder works in commander mode VTR 2. Commander modes 1,2 and 3 are
used to distinguish your camcorder from other Sony VCRs to avoid remote control
misoperation. If you use another Sony VCR in Commander mode VTR 2, we
recommend changing the commander mode or covering the sensor of the V&with
black paper.
