 Troubleshooting
If you run into any problems using your 
camcorder, follow the steps below.
 Check the list (p. 60 to 62), and 
inspect your camcorder.
 Remove the power source, attach 
the power source again after about 1 
minute, and turn the camcorder on.
 Press RESET (p. 75) using a pointed 
object, and turn the camcorder on.
If you press RESET, all settings, 
including the clock setting, are reset.
 Contact your Sony dealer or local 
authorized Sony service facility.
Your camcorder may be required to initialize 
or change the current internal memory (HDR-
CX560E/CX560VE/CX700E/CX700VE) of your 
camcorder, depending on the problem. In the 
event of this, the data stored on the internal 
memory will be deleted. Be sure to save the 
data on the internal memory on other media 
(backup) before sending your camcorder for 
repair. We will not compensate you for any loss 
of internal memory data.
During repair, we may check a minimum 
amount of data stored on the internal memory 
in order to investigate the problem. However, 
your Sony dealer will neither copy nor retain 
your data.
See the “Handycam” Handbook (p. 59) for 
details on the symptoms of your camcorder, 
and “PMB Help” (p. 40) on connecting your
