Notes on power sources

•Disconnecting the power source or removing the battery pack during recording or playback may damage the inserted tape.

•The DC IN jack has power 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 the wall outlet.

Using the house current

(1)Open the DC IN jack cover, and connect the AC power adaptor to the DC IN jack on the camcorder.

(2)Connect the power cord to the AC power adaptor.

(3)Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.

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.

Keep the AC power adaptor away from the camcorder if the picture is disturbed.
