Make sure that a power source and a cassette is
inserted and that the START/STOP MODE
switch inside the LCD panel is set to .
When you use the camcorder for the first time,
power on it and reset the date and time to your
time (p. 55) before you start recording. The date
is automatically recorded for 10 seconds after
you start recording (AUTO DATE feature). This
feature works only once a day.
Before you record one-time events, you may
want to make a trial recording to make sure that
you are using the camcorder correctly.
(1) While pressing the small green button on the
POWER switch, set it to CAMERA.
(2) Turn STANDBY up. The “STBY” indicator
appears in the viewfinder.
(3) Press START/STOP. The camcorder starts
recording and the “STBY” indicator changes
to the “REC” indicator.
You can also select Recording mode, SP
(standard play) mode or LP (long play) mode.
Set REC MODE in the menu system according
to the length of your planned recording before
you start.
Press START/STOP again. The “REC” indicator
in the viewfinder changes to the “STBY”
indicator (Standby mode).
To finish recording [b]
Press START/STOP. Turn STANDBY down,
and set the POWER switch to OFF.
Then, eject the cassette and remove the battery
pack.

Note on standby mode
If you leave the camcorder for 5 minutes or
more with a cassette inserted in Standby mode,
the camcorder goes off automatically. This
prevents wearing down the battery and wearing
out the tape. To resume Standby mode, turn
STANDBY down once and turn it up again. To
start recording, press START/STOP.
Notes on the recording mode
•This camcorder records and plays back in SP
(standard play) mode and in LP (long play)
mode.
The playback quality in LP mode, however, will
not be as good as that in SP mode.
•When a tape recorded on this camcorder in LP
mode is played back on other types of 8 mm
camcorders or VCRs, the playback quality may
not be as good as that on this camcorder.
Note on recording
When you record from the beginning of the
tape, run the tape for about 15 seconds before
actual recording. This prevents the camcorder
from missing any start-up scenes when you play
back the tape.
If the viewfinder is not in focus at all or when
you use the camcorder after someone else has
used it, focus the viewfinder lens. Turn the
viewfinder lens adjustment ring so that the
indicators in the viewfinder come into sharp
focus.
Notes on the tape counter
•The tape counter indicates the recording or
playback time. Use it as a guide. There will be a
time lag of several seconds from the actual
time. To set the counter to zero, press
COUNTER RESET inside the LCD panel.
•If the tape is recorded in SP and LP modes
mixed, the tape counter shows incorrect
recording time. When you intend to edit the
tape using the tape counter as a guide, record in
same (SP or LP) mode.
Note on beep sound
As indicated with ≥ in the illustrations, a beep
sounds when you turn the power on or when
you start recording and two beeps sound when
you stop recording, confirming the operation.
Several beeps also sound as a warning of any
unusual condition of the camcorder. Note that
the beep sound is not recorded on the tape. If
you do not want to hear the beep sound, set
BEEP to OFF in the menu system.
The clock is set at the factory to Sydney time for
Australia and New Zealand models, to Tokyo
time for the models sold in Japan and to Hong
Kong time for other models. You can reset the
clock in the menu system.
The AUTO DATE feature shows the date
automatically once a day. However, the date
may automatically appear more than once a day
when:
– you reset the date and time.
– you eject and insert the cassette again.
– you stop recording within 10 seconds.
Using the zoom feature
Zooming is a recording technique that lets you
change the size of the subject in the scene. For
more professional-looking recordings, use the
zoom sparingly.
T side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
W side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther
away)

Turn the power zoom lever fully for a highspeed zoom. Turn it lightly for a relatively slow
zoom.
When you shoot a subject using a
telephoto zoom
If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme
telephoto zoom, move the power zoom lever to
the “W” side until the focus is sharp.
You can shoot a subject that is at least 80 cm
(about 2.6 feet) away from the lens surface in
the telephoto position, or 1 cm (about 1/2
inches) in the wide-angle position.
Notes on digital zoom (CCD-TRV24E only)
•More than 15x zoom is performed digitally,
and the picture quality deteriorates as you go
toward the “ T ” side. If you do not want to use
the digital zoom, set D ZOOM to OFF in the
menu system.
•The right side [a] of the power zoom indicator
shows the digital zooming zone, and the left
side [b] shows the optical zooming zone. If you
set D ZOOM to OFF, the right [a] zone
disappears.

Your camcorder is supplied with a lithium
battery installed. When the battery becomes
weak or dead, the I indicator flashes in the
viewfinder or on the LCD screen for about 5
seconds when you set the POWER switch to
CAMERA. In this case, replace the battery
with a Sony CR2025 or Duracell DL-2025
lithium battery. Use of any other battery may
present a risk of fire or explosion. Discard
used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts for
about one year under normal operation. (The
lithium battery that comes installed at the
factory may not last one year.)
Notes on lithium battery
• Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of
children. Should the battery be swallowed,
immediately consult a doctor.
•Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a
good contact.
•Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,
otherwise a short-circuit may occur.
•The lithium battery has positive (+) side and
negative (–) side as illustrated. Be sure to
insert the lithium battery with the positive
side facing out.
When replacing the lithium battery, keep the
battery pack or other power source attached.
Otherwise, you will need to reset the date and

To check the date and time
Press DATE to display the date indicator. Press
TIME to display the time indicator. When you
press the same button again, the indicator goes

The year indicator changes as
follows:
199619972025
Note on the time indicator
The internal clock of this camcorder operates on
a 24-hour cycle.
Playback modes
The playback mode (SP/LP) is selected
automatically according to the format in which
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.
Foreign 8 mm video
You may not play back tapes recorded on a
different TV colour system. Because the TV
colour systems differ from country to country,
you may not be able to play back foreign prerecorded tapes. Refer to the list of “Using your
camcorder abroad” to check the TV colour
system of foreign countries.
This section shows you how you can get the
most out of your battery pack.
Preparing the battery pack
Always carry additional batteries
Have sufficient battery pack power to do 2 to 3
times as much recording as you have planned.
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 cold environment.
To save battery power
Turn the STANDBY switch on the camcorder
down when not recording to save battery
power.
A smooth transition between scenes can be
made even if recording is stopped and started
again. While positioning the subject, selecting
an angle, or looking through the viewfinder lens
or on the LCD screen, the lens moves
automatically and the battery is used. The
battery is also used when a cassette is inserted
or removed.
While you are using your camcorder, the
remaining battery indicator decreases gradually
as battery power is used up.
When the remaining battery indicator reaches
the lowest point, the i indicator appears and
starts flashing.
When the i indicator changes from slow
flashing to rapid flashing while you are
recording, set the POWER switch to OFF on the
camcorder and replace the battery pack. Leave
the tape in the camcorder to obtain smooth
transition between scenes before and after the
battery pack has been replaced.
Note on the remaining battery indicator
The remaining battery indicator of the
camcorder may indicate a different remaining
capacity from that of the battery pack with its
own indicator (not supplied). The indicator on
the battery pack is more accurate.
Notes on the rechargeable
battery pack
CAUTION
Never leave the battery pack in temperatures
above 60°C (140°F), such as in a car parked in
the sun or under direct sunlight.
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 and is normal.
Battery pack care
•Remove the battery pack from the
camcorder after using it, and keep it in a cool
place. When the battery pack is installed to the
camcorder, a small amount of current flows to
the camcorder even if the POWER switch is set
to OFF. This shortens battery life.
•The battery pack is always discharging even
when it is not in use after charging. Therefore,
you should charge the battery right before
using the camcorder.
How to use the switch on the
battery pack
When the switch is supplied with the battery
pack ([a] on page 60), you can use it to find
whether the battery pack is charged or not. 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).
The life of the battery pack
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.

Tips for using the battery pack
лУ‚ВЪ˚ ФУ ЛТФУО¸БУ‚‡МЛ˛
·‡Ú‡ ÂÈÌÓ„Ó ·ÎÓ͇
Notes on charging
A brand-new battery
A brand-new battery pack is not charged. Before
using the battery pack, charge it completely.
After 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 one 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.
Notes on the terminals
If the terminals (metal parts on the back) are
not clean, the battery charge duration will be
shortened.
When the terminals are not clean or when the
battery pack has not been used for a long time,
repeatedly install and remove the battery pack a
few times. 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.
When carrying the battery pack, attach to
the terminal cover. [b]
•Keep the battery pack away from fire.
•Keep the battery pack dry.
•Do not open or try to disassemble the battery
pack.
•Do not expose the battery pack to any
mechanical shock.
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
camcorder may not operate correctly. To
prevent possible damage under these
circumstances, the camcorder is furnished with
moisture sensors. Please take the following
precautions.
Inside the camcorder
When the { and 6 indicators flash, moisture
has condensed inside 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 cassette compartment open
for at least one hour. The camcorder can be
used again if the { indicator does not appear
when the power is turned on again.
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 one hour).

To ensure normal recording and clear pictures,
clean the video heads. When v appears in
CAMERA mode or playback pictures are
“noisy” or hardly visible, the video heads may
be dirty.
[a][b]
[a] Slightly dirty
[b] Dirty
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 in one session.)
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 nearest
Sony dealer.
• Operate the camcorder using 6.0 V (battery
pack), or 7.5 V (AC power adaptor).
• For DC or AC operation, use only the
recommended accessories.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
casing, unplug the camcorder and have it
checked by your nearest Sony dealer before
operating it any further.
• Avoid rough handling or mechanical shock. Be
particularly careful of the lens.
• Keep the POWER switch set to OFF when not
using the camcorder.
• Do not wrap up the camcorder and operate it
since heat may build up internally.
• Keep the camcorder away from strong
magnetic fields or mechanical vibration.
• Do not push the LCD screen.
• If the camcorder is used in a cold place, a
residual image may appear on the LCD screen.
This is not a malfunction.
• While using the camcorder, the back of the LCD
screen may heat up. This is not a malfunction.
On handling tapes
Do not insert anything in the small holes on the
rear of the cassette. These holes are used to
sense the type of tape, thickness of tape, and if
the recording tab is out or in.
Camcorder care
• When the camcorder is not to be used for a long
time, disconnect the power source and remove
the cassette. Periodically turn on the power,
operate the camera and player sections and
play back a tape for about 3 minutes.
• Clean the lens with a soft brush to remove dust.
If there are fingerprints on the lens, remove
them with a soft cloth.

•If there are fingerprints on the LCD screen,
remove them using an LCD cleaning kit (not
supplied).
•Clean the camcorder body with a soft dry cloth,
or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
solvent which may damage the finish.
•Do not let sand get into the camcorder. When
you use the camcorder on a sandy beach or in a
dusty place, protect it from the sand or dust.
Sand or dust may cause the unit to malfunction,
and sometimes this malfunction cannot be
repaired.
AC power adaptor
Charging
•Attach the battery pack firmly.
•Place the battery pack on a flat surface without
vibration during charging.
Others
•Unplug the unit from the mains when not in
use for a long time. To disconnect the mains
lead, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord
itself.
•Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or
if the unit has been dropped or damaged.
•Do not bend the AC power cord (mains lead)
forcibly, or put a heavy object on it. This will
damage the cord and may cause a fire or an
electrical shock.
•Be sure that nothing metallic comes into contact
with the metal parts of the connecting plate. If
this happens, a short may occur and the unit
may be damaged.
•Always keep the metal contacts clean.
•Do not disassemble the unit.
•Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the
unit.
•While the unit is in use, particularly during
charging, keep it away from AM receivers and
video equipment because it will disturb AM
reception and video operation.
