Using this manual
The instructions in this manual are for the six models listed in the table below (p. 11).
Before you start reading this manual and operating your camcorder, check the model
number by looking at the bottom of your camcorder. The DCR-TRV140 is the model
used for illustration purposes. Otherwise, the model name is indicated in the
illustrations. Any differences in operation are clearly indicated in the text, for example,
“DCR-TRV140 only.”
As you read through this manual, buttons and settings on your camcorder are shown in
capital letters.
e.g. Set the POWER switch to CAMERA.
When you carry out an operation, you can hear a beep sound to indicate that the
operation is being carried out.
Before using your camcorder (DCR-TRV140 only)
With your digital camcorder, we recommend using Hi8 /Digital8 video
cassettes. Your camcorder records and plays back pictures only in the Digital8
system. You cannot play back tapes recorded in the Hi8
/standard 8 (analog)
system.
Note on TV color systems
TV color systems differ from country to country. To view your recordings on a TV, you
need an NTSC system-based TV.
