SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
I. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or
poorly-soldered connections. Check the entire
board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.
2. Check
the interboard wiring to ensure that no
wires are "pinched" or contact high-wattage
resistors.
3. Look
for unauthorized replacement parts, par-
ticularly transistors, that were installed during a
previous repair.
Point them out to the customer
and recommend their replacement.
4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show
obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out
to the customer and recommend their replace-
ment.
5. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values
specified.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK it, OR DOTTED
LINE WITH MARK it, ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS
AND IN THE PARTS LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE
OPERATION. REPLACE THESE COMPONENTS
WITH
SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERS APPEAR AS
SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS PUB·
LISHED BY SONY.

Tips for Using the Battery Pack
This section shows you how you can get the most out of your battery pack.
Preparing the Battery Pack
Have Sufficient Battery Pack Power to Do 2 to 3 Times as much Recording as You have
Planned.
"Battery life" indicated in this manual is measured by the continuous recording time of the camcorder,
placed
at room temperature using a fully-charged battery pack.
Battery Life is Shorter in Cold Environment
Battery efficiency is decreased and the battery will be used up more quickly if you are recording in a
cold environment.
To Save Battery Power
Turn STANDBY on the camcorder down when not recording to save battery power. (p. 8) [a]
A smooth transition between scenes can be made even If recording is stopped and started again. While
you are positioning the subject, selecting -an angle, or looking through the viewfinder lens, the lens
moves
automatically and the battery is used. The battery is also used when a tape is inserted or
removed.
When to Replace the Battery Pack
While you are using your camcorder, the remaining battery indicators in the viewfinder (1) and in the
display window (2) decrease
gradually as battery power is used up.
<1> ~ I+~ l+~+c£:::]+'LJ
(2) ~W.l+~#.l+~ •l+a:::::=1J+a:=:J
When the remaining battery indicator reaches the lowest point, them indicator appears and starts
flashing in the viewfinder. (p.
8) [b]
When the .CO indicator in the viewfinder changes from slow flashing to rapid flashing while you are
recording, slide the POWER switch to OFF on the camcorder and replace the battery pack. Leave the
tape in the camcorder to obtain a smooth transition between see,., after the battery pack is replaced.
Note on the
remaining battery indicator
The remaining battery indicator of the camcorder may indicate a different remaining capacity from that of
the NP-77HD battery pack (not supplied). The
indicator of NP·77HD is more accurate.
Note on the Rechargeable Battery Pack
The Battery Pack Heats Up
During charging or recording, the battery pack heats up. This is caused by energy that has been
generated and a chemical change that has
occurred inside the battery pack. This is not cause for
concern.
Battery Pack Care
• Remove the battery pack from the camcorder after using the battery pack, and keep it in a cool place.
When the battery pack
is attached to the camcorder, a small amount of current flows to the camcorder
even if the POWER switch
is set to OFF, which shortens battery life.
• The battery pack
is always discharging even when it is not in use after charging. Therefore, you
should
charge the battery pack right before using the camcorder.
How to Use the Switch on the Battery Pack
This switch is provided so that you can mark the charged battery pack. Set the switch to the "no mark"
position when charging is completed. Set the switch to the "red mark" position when the battery is used
up (or in whichever direction you want to remind yourself). (p. 8) [c]
111sertingthe Supplied Batteries
Your camcorder is supplied with a lithium battery and two size AA (R6) batteries. The lithium battery is
for the
camcorder and the size AA (R6) batteries are for the Remote Commander.
Inserting the Lithium Battery into the Camcorder
The lithium battery has a positive (+) side and a negative (-) side as illustrated below. Be sure to install
the lithium battery with the positive side facing out.
Inserting the Lithium Battery
To activate the clock, you must insert a lithium battery.
(1) Open the lid of the lithium battery compartment on the bottom of the camcorder. (2) Install the lithium
battery with the positive(+) side facing out. (3) Close the lid.
1 2 3
To Remove the Lithium Battery
Push the Battery upward once and pull it out from the holder.
When
replacing the lithium battery, keep the battery pack or other power source attached. Otherwise,
you will need to reset the date and time.

Tips for Using theJ.3attery Pack
The Life of the Battery Pack ,
The battery pack can be fully charged and discharged about 500 times under) normal temperatures. If the
battery
indicator flashes rapidly just after turning on the camcorder with a fully charged battery pack, the
battery pack should be replaced with a
new fully charged one. '
Charging Temperature
You should charge batteries at temperatures frOm 10"C to 30"C (from 50"F to 86"F). Lower temperatures
require a longer charging time.
Note on Charging
A Brand-new Battery Pack
A brand-new battery pack is not charged. Before using the battery pack, charge it completely.
Before Recharging a Used Battery Pack
• Make sure to use up the battery before recharging.
• If recording is completed before the rL:s;J indicator appears in the viewfinqer, you should remove the
tape,
slide the POWER switch to CAMERA, turn STANDBY up, and leave the camcorder until the
battery
indicator flashes rapidly. ·
• When you use the AC-S10
power adaptor or the DC-S10 car battery charger, you can use the
discharging function.
• Charging the usable battery pack causes a· lowering of battery capacity. Battery capacity can be
recovered if you fully discharge and charge the battery pack again.
Alter Long Storage
Recharge the battery pack after a long period of storage. If the battery pack is charged fully but not used
for a long
time (about 1 year), it becomes discharged. Charge it again, but in this case the battery life
will be shorter than normal. After several charging and discharging cycles, the battery life will recover
its original capacity.
Note on the Terminals
If the terminals (metal parts on the back) are not clean, the battery duration. will be shortened.
When the
terminals are not clean or when the battery pack has not been used for a long time, repeat
installing and removing the battery pack. This improves the contact condition. Also, wipe the + and
terminals with a soft cloth or paper.
Be Sure to Observe the Following
• To prevent an accident caused by a short circuit, do not allow metal objeCts such as a necklace to
touch the battery
terminals. Carry the battery pack attaching to the terminal cover. [1:1]
• Keep the battery pack away from fire.
• Keep the battery pack dry.
• Do not open nor convert the battery pack.
• Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock.

Maintenance Information and Precautions
On the Surface of the Tape
If there is moisture on the surface of the tape, when the cassette is inserted and a tape transport button
is pressed, the ~ indicator in the viewfinder flashes.
In this case, no other functions except for tape ejection will work. Eject the tape, turn off the camcorder
and leave
it with the cassette holder open for at least one hour in a dry place. The camcorder can be
used again if the
~ indicator does not appear when you insert the cassette and press one of the tape
transport buttons.
On the Lens
If moisture condenses on the lens, no indicator appears, but the picture becomes dim. Turn off the power
and do not use the camcorder for about one hour.
How to Prevent Moisture Condensation
When bringing the camcorder from a cold place to a warm place, put the camcorder in a plastic bag and
allow it to adapt to room conditions over a period of time.
(1) Be sure to tightly seal the plastic bag containing the camcorder.
(2) Remove the bag when the air temperature inside it has reached the temperature surrounding it
(after
about 1 hour).
Video Head Cleaning
To ensure clear pictures, clean the video heads periodically. When playback pictures are "noisy" or
hardly visible, the video heads may be contaminated.
(a] Slight contamination
[b] Critical contamination.
Q
...
[a]
[b]
If this happens, clean the video heads with the Sony V8-25CLH cleaning cassette (not supplied). After
checking the picture, if it is still "noisy", repeat the cleaning. (Do not repeat cleaning more than 5 times.)
Caution
Do not use a commercially available wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.
Note
If the V8-25CLH cleaning cassette is not available in your area, consult your Sony service facility.
36
Additional Information
Pla.yl.lac;l( Mod.e$
The playback mode (SP or LP) is selected automatically according to the format in ~hich the tape has
been recorded. The
quality of the recorded picture in LP mode, however, will not be·as good as that in
SP mode.
Note
on AFM Hi-Fi stereo
When you
play back a tape, the sound is in monaural if:
• You record the tape using this camcorder, then play it back on an AFM Hi-Fi monaural video
recorder/player.
• You record the tape on an AFM Hi-Fi monaural video recorder, then play it back on this camcorder.
Dual sound
You can play back a dual sound track tape. Set HiFi SOUND to "1" or "2" in the menu system. (p. 32)
Recording mode
When you
play back a tape, the SP/LP indicator in the viewfinder shows the recording mode SP/LP.
Foreign 8 mm video
You cannot play back software recorded on a different TV colour system. Because t~e TV colour systems
differ from country to country, you may not be able to play back foreign·pre-recorded software. Refer to
page 39 to check the TV colour system of foreign countries.
Maintenance Information and
Moisture Condensation
If the camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense inside
the camcorder, on the surface of the tape, or on the lens. In this condition, the tape may stick to the
head
drum and be damaged or the unit may not operate correctly. To prevent possible damage under
these circumstances, the camcorder is furnished with moisture sensors. However, ta:ke the following
precautions.
Inside the Camcorder
When the fi1 and ~ indicators flash in the viewfinder, moisture has condensed ihside the camcorder.
If this happens, no other functions except for tape ejection will work.
Eject the tape, turn off the camcorder and leave
it with the casseHe holder open for at least one hour in
a dry place. '
The camcorder can be used again if the [IJ indicator does not appear when the poWer is turned on
again.
