Connecting To A Wall Socket - Sony DVCAM DSR-PD170P Operating Instructions Manual

Step 2 Preparing the power supply

Connecting to a wall socket

When you use your camcorder for a long time, we recommend that you power it from a
wall socket 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 mains lead to the AC Adaptor.
(3) Connect the mains lead to a wall socket.

Precaution
The set is not disconnected from the AC power source (wall socket) as long as it is
connected to the wall socket, even if the set itself has been turned off.
Notes
•The mains lead 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 mains lead is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the mains lead
is not plugged into a wall socket.
Using a car battery
Use the Sony DC Adaptor/Charger (optional).
