You may not be able to play back normally

DVD media recorded with high definition
image quality (HD) can be played back with
devices that are compatible with the AVCHD
standard. You cannot play discs recorded with
high definition image quality (HD) with DVD
players/recorders as they are not compatible
with the AVCHD format. If you insert a disc

definition image quality (HD)) into a DVD
player/recorder, you may not be able to eject
the disc.
Save all your recorded image data
To prevent your image data from being lost,
save all your recorded images on external media
periodically. To save images on your computer,
see page 54, and to save images on external
devices, see page 60.
The type of discs or media on which the images
can be saved depend on the [

Adaptor after turning off the camcorder.
Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the

DC plug.
Note on the camcorder/battery pack
temperature
When the temperature of the camcorder
or battery pack becomes extremely high or
extremely low, you may not be able to record
or play back on the camcorder, due to the
protection features of the camcorder being
activated in such situations. In this case, an
indicator appears on the LCD screen (p. 93) or
on the viewfinder.
When the camcorder is connected to a
computer or accessories
Do not try to format the memory card of the
camcorder using a computer. If you do so, your
camcorder may not operate correctly.
When connecting the camcorder to another
device with communication cables, be sure to
insert the connector plug in the correct way.
Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal
will damage the terminal and may result in a
malfunction of the camcorder.
If you cannot record/play back images,
perform [Format]
If you repeat recording/deleting images for
a long time, fragmentation of data occurs on
the memory card. Images cannot be saved or
recorded. In such a case, first save your images
onto a PC, etc., then perform [Format] by
touching
(MENU) [Setup]
[ (
Media Settings)] [Format]
.
Notes on optional accessories
We recommend using genuine Sony accessories.
Genuine Sony accessories may not be available
