SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0OR DOTTED LINE WITH MARK 0 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 PUBLISHED BY SONY.
CAUTION :
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
ATTENTION AU COMPOSANT AYANT RAPPORT
À LA SÉCURITÉ!
LES COMPOSANTS IDENTIFÉS PAR UNE MARQUE 0 SUR LES
DIAGRAMMES SCHÉMATIQUES ET LA LISTE DES PIÈCES SONT CRITIQUES POUR LA SÉCURITÉ DE FONCTIONNEMENT. NE REMPLACER CES COMPOSANTS QUE PAR DES PIÈSES SONY DONT LES NUMÉROS SONT DONNÉS DANS CE MANUEL OU DANS LES SUPPÉMENTS PUBLIÉS PAR SONY.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.
1.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, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
4.Look for parts which, through functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
5.Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
6.Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
•Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270˚C during repairing.
•Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the circuit board (within 3 times).
•Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or unsoldering.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION |
1.SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder, or LCD screen what to do.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction manual.
Viewfinder or LCD screen
C : 3 1 : 1 1
2.SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the viewfinder or LCD screen consists of an alphabet and 4-digit number, which blinks at 3.2Hz. This 5-character display indicates the “repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and “detailed code” of the problem.

Precautions on camcorder care
Lens and LCD screen/finder (on mounted models only)
•The LCD screen and the finder are manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen and the finder. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
•Do not let your camcorder get wet. Keep your camcorder away from rain and sea water. Letting your camcorder get wet may cause your camcorder to malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired [a].
•Never leave your camcorder exposed to temperatures above 60°C (140°F), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight [b].
•Be careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors. Exposing the LCD screen, the finder or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions [c].
•Do not directly shoot the sun. Doing so might cause your camcorder to malfunction. Take pictures of the sun in low light conditions such as dusk [d].

Approximate minutes when you use a fully charged battery pack
Note
Approximate recording time and continuous playing time at 25°C (77°F). The battery life will be shorter if you use your camcorder in a cold environment.
Checking status of battery pack – Battery Info
(1) Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG). (2) Press OPEN to open the LCD panel. (3) Press DSPL/BATT INFO.
The battery charge level (the percentage of remaining battery time) and remaining battery time when using the LCD screen or viewfinder are displayed for about 7 seconds.
If you keep pressing DSPL/BATT INFO, the indicators will be displayed for about 20 seconds.

Step 1 Preparing the power source
Notes
•The BATTERY INFO indicator may not be displayed in the following cases:
–The battery pack is not installed.
–Something is wrong with the battery pack.
–The battery is exhausted.
•The BATTERY INFO indicator will not appear when you press DISPLAY on the Remote Commander when the POWER switch is set to OFF (CHG).
Battery Info
The number displayed as Battery Info is the approximate recording time.
While the remaining battery time is being calculated
“CALCULATING BATTERY INFO ...” is displayed.
If you press DSPL/BATT INFO with the LCD panel closed
The battery information appears on the viewfinder for about 7 seconds.
Connecting to a wall outlet
You can use your camcorder without worrying about the power shortage. Connect the AC Adaptor in the same way as you would when charging the battery pack.
PRECAUTION
The set is not disconnected from the AC power source (house current) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the set itself has been turned off.
Notes
•The AC Adaptor can supply power from a wall outlet even if the battery pack is attached to your camcorder.
•The DC IN jack has “source priority.” This means that the battery pack cannot supply any power if the power cord is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the power cord is not plugged into a wall outlet.

Step 2 Setting the date and time
Set the date and time when you use your camcorder for the first time. The “CLOCK SET” indicator will appear each time you set the POWER switch to CAMERA or MEMORY (DCR-TRV22/TRV33 only) unless you set the date and time settings.
If you do not set the date and time, “--- -- ----” and “--:--:--” are recorded on the tape or the “Memory Stick” (DCR-TRV22/TRV33 only) as the data code.
If you do not use your camcorder for about 4 months, the date and time settings may be released (bars may appear) because the built-in rechargeable battery installed in your camcorder will have been discharged (p. 207). In this case, charge the built-in rechargeable battery, then set the year, the month, the day, the hour and the minute.
(1) Set the POWER switch to CAMERA or MEMORY (DCR-TRV22/TRV33 only). (2) Press OPEN to open the LCD panel.
(3) Press FN (Function) to display PAGE1 (p. 23). (4) Press MENU to display the menu.
(5) Press r/R to select 
, then press EXEC.
(6) Press r/R to select CLOCK SET, then press EXEC. (7) Press r/R to select a desired year, then press EXEC.
(8) Set the month, day and hour with the same procedure as step 7.
(9) Press r/R to set the minute, then press EXEC by the time signal. The clock starts to move.
