Troubleshooting (Q&A)

Power supply-related problems

Q1: No power.

A1: Has the battery or AC adapter been

connected correctly? Check the connections. (See page 21)

Q2: The power goes off on its own.

A2: The power will automatically go off if shooting is temporarily stopped for more than 5 minutes in order to prevent the battery from running down and keep the tape from wearing.

Check the setting selected for the TAPE PROTECT item on the setting menu OTHER FUNCTIONS screen. (See page 49)

Q3: The power is turned on but it goes off immediately.

A3-1: Has the battery run down?

If the remaining battery charge display

flashes or the display has appeared, it means that the battery has run down.

Recharge the battery or insert an adequately charged battery. (See page 20)

A3-2: Has condensation formed?

When the camera recorder has been carried into a warm room from a cold place, condensation may form inside. If this happens, the power is automatically turned off, and ejecting the cassette is the only operation which can be performed. Wait until the condensation has dried up. (See page 64)

Battery-related problems

Q1: The battery runs down quickly.

A1-1: Has the battery been adequately charged? Charge it until the CHARGE lamp of the AC adapter has gone off. (See page 20)

A1-2: Is the camera recorder being used in cold place?

The battery is easily affected by the ambient temperature. Its operating time is reduced in cold locations.

A1-3: Has the battery reached the end of its service life?

The service life of the battery differs depending on how it is used. If it works only for a short time even after it has adequately charged, it means that the battery has reached the end of its service life.

Q2: The battery cannot be charged.

A2: Is the DC cable connected to the AC adapter? The battery cannot be charged if this cable is connected.

Problems during normal video recording

Q1: Recording is not possible even though the cassette tape has been inserted properly.

A1-1: Has the accidental erasure prevention knob on the cassette tape been set to “SAVE?” If it has, recording cannot be performed. (See page 22)

A1-2: Has the cassette tape reached the end? Replace it with a new one.

A1-3: Is the POWER switch at the ON position?

A1-4: Is the VCR lamp lit?

Shooting is not possible in the VCR mode. A1-5: Is the cassette holder open?

If the cassette holder is open, it is not possible to perform any VCR operations.

A1-6: Has condensation formed?

If condensation has formed, ejecting the cassette tape is the only operation which can be performed. Wait until the condensation dries up. (See page 64)

A1-7: If AUTO OFF/T REEL LOCK appears on the display, the tape may have snapped. Check the tape.
