 Check the list (p. 84 to 93), and

 Disconnect the power source, attach
the power source again after about 1

object, and turn the camcorder on.

Your camcorder may be required to initialize

or change the current internal memory (HDR-
CX160/CX180) 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.
