Your camcorder gets warm.
• This is because the power has been turned
on for a long time. This is not a
malfunction.
The supplied Remote Commander
does not function (except for DCR-
SR32E/SR33E/SR42E).
• Set [REMOTE CTRL] to [ON] (p. 64).
• Insert a battery into the battery holder with
the +/– polarities correctly matching the +/
– marks (p. 122).
• Remove any obstructions between the
Remote Commander and the remote
sensor.
• Point the remote sensor away from strong
light sources such as direct sunlight or
overhead lighting. Otherwise, the Remote
Commander may not function properly.
Another DVD device malfunctions
when you use the supplied Remote
Commander (except for DCR-SR32E/
SR33E/SR42E).
• Select a commander mode other than DVD
2 for your DVD device, or cover the sensor
of your DVD device with black paper.
The power abruptly turns off.
• When approximately 5 minutes have
elapsed while you do not operate your
camcorder, the camcorder is automatically
turned off (A.SHUT OFF). Change the
setting of [A.SHUT OFF] (p. 64), or turn
on the power again, or use the AC
Adaptor.
• Charge the battery pack (p. 13).
