AC power adaptor to the DC IN jack on your
camcorder with the plug's v mark facing up.

Step 2 Setting the
date and time
Set the date and time settings when you use your
camcorder for the first time.
"CLOCK SET" will be displayed each time when
you set the power switch to CAMERA unless you
set the date and time settings.
If you do not use your camcorder for about 6
months, the date and time settings may be
released (bars may appear) because the built-in
rechargeable battery in your camcorder will have
been discharged.

SEL/PUSH EXEC dial and pressing the dial.

Step 1 Preparing the power
supply
PRECAUTION
The set is not disconnected from the AC power
source (wall socket) as long as it is connected to a
wall socket, even if the set itself has been turned
off.
Notes
•The AC power adaptor can supply power even
if the battery pack is attached to your
camcorder.
•The DC IN jack has "source priority." This
v
means that the battery pack cannot supply any
power if the mains lead is connected to the DC
IN jack, even when the mains lead is not
plugged into the wall socket.
•Place the AC power adaptor near the wall
socket. While using the AC power adaptor, if
any trouble occurs with this unit, disconnect the
plug from the wall socket as soon as possible to
cut off the power.
Using a car battery
Use Sony DC Adaptor/Charger (optional). Refer
to the operating instructions of the DC Adaptor/
Charger for further information.

When you use your camcorder for the first time,
turn it on and set the date and time to your local
time before you start recording (p. 22). The date
is automatically recorded for 10 seconds after
you start recording (Auto date function). This
function works only once a day.
Note on the time indicator
The internal clock of your camcorder operates on
a 24-hour cycle.
Note on the auto date function
You can change the AUTO DATE setting by
selecting ON or OFF in the menu settings. The
auto date function automatically displays the
2 0 0 2 1 1

0 0 0
more than once a day if:
– you set the date and time.
– you eject and insert the tape again.
– you stop recording within 10 seconds.
– you set AUTO DATE to OFF once and set it
