On power sources • The recorder is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the recorder itself has been turned off. • If you are not going to use the recorder for a long time, be sure to disconnect the recorder from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord. • Before disconnecting the AC power cord, check that the recorder's hard disk is not operating (recording or dubbing) on the front panel display. On recording Make trial recordings before making the actual recording.

Sony will not restore, recover, or replicate the recorded contents under any circumstances. Copyrights • Television programs, films, video tapes, discs, and other materials may be copyrighted.
