Getting started
VTR/CAMERA CHARGE
1
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/charger.
(1) Set the mode change switch to VTR/CAMERA.
(2) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
(3) Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor/charger.
(4) Connect the connecting cord to the DC OUT connector of the AC adaptor/
charger.
(5) Install the connecting cord to the camcorder.
Insert the connecting adaptor until it clicks. Pass the cord through the cord
shutter so that the cord is not caught by the battery lid.
To disconnect the connecting cord
Open the lid and push the catch.
Notes
•If you set the mode change switch to CHARGE while operating the camcorder, the
power supply to the camcorder stops.
•Be sure that nothing metallic comes into contact with the metal parts of the AC
adaptor/charger. If it does, a short may occur and the AC adaptor/charger may be
damaged.
•You cannot charge the battery pack attached to the AC adaptor/charger while
supplying the power to the camcorder.
•Keep the AC adaptor/charger away from the camcorder if the picture is disturbed.
•The power cord must only be changed at an authorized service shop.
•The AC adaptor/charger is not disconnected from the AC power source (house
current) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the AC adaptor/charger
itself has been turned off.
Using a car battery
Use Sony DC adaptor/charger DC-VQ800 (not supplied) or car battery adaptor
DCC-L50 (not supplied).
