Setting Date and Time
Set the current date and time so that the date and time you make a recording can be recorded 
correctly.
The following procedure can also be used to correct the date and time you have already set.
1
Press the MENU button, use the f/e/ 
d/c buttons to choose “Date Set” on the 
“Date Setup” menu screen.
2
Press the c button.
The figure for the 
month will be selected.
[The digit that is 
highlighted first depends on the date display 
format (set up in Date Mode): The digit on the 
left end of the date display will be first 
highlighted.]
Note

After setting the figure for the month, press the c 
button to select the digit to be set. If you press the 
A button after selecting the figure for the month, 
the screen for verifying the set date will appear 
instead of screen for setting day, year or time.

CHANGING DISPLAY FORMAT OF DATE AND TIME
You can select one of three date display formats: month/day/year, day/month/year or year/
month/day. Choose “Date Mode” on the “Date Setup” menu screen in procedure 1, and then set to 
the desired date display mode.
Note
:
This DVD video camera/recorder incorporates a rechargeable battery to store the date and time in memory. If this 
built-in battery is exhausted, the date and time will be reset. To prevent this, every 6 months, connect the AC 
adapter/charger to DVD video camera/recorder and connect them to AC outlet, or attach a charged battery to the 
DVD video camera/recorder, and leave it for at least 24 hours with the DVD video camera/recorder turned off: The 
built-in battery will recharge.
