Note on Standby mode

If you leave the camcorder for 5 minutes or more with a cassette inserted in Standby mode, the camcorder goes off automatically. This prevents wearing down the battery and wearing out the tape. To resume Standby mode, turn STANDBY down once and turn it up again. To start recording, press

START/STOP.

To Focus the Viewfinder Lens

Turn the viewfinder lens adjustment ring [a] (CCD-TR78/TR88) or move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever [b] (CCD-TR98) so that the indicators in the viewfinder come into sharp focus.
