Notes before sending your camcorder

for repair

Your camcorder may be required to initialize or

change the current hard disk of your camcorder,

depending on the problem. In the event of this,

the data stored on the hard disk will be deleted.

Be sure to save the data on the internal hard

disk on other media (backup) before sending

your camcorder for repair (p. 66, see Operating

Guide too). We will not compensate you for any

loss of hard disk data.

During repair, we may check a minimum

amount of data stored on the hard disk in order

to investigate the problem. However, your Sony

dealer will neither copy nor retain your data.
