This symbol is intended to
alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's
enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to
alert the user to the presence
of important operating and
maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
Polarization
This set may be equipped with a polarized ac
power cord plug (a plug haVing one blade wider
than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug by forcing it in.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the set
through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly
dampened with water for cleaning the exterior
of the set.
Installation
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets near water
- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection
Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to the
plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord
exits from the appliance.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The set may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and
serious damage to the set. Use only a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must never
be blocked or covered.
- Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth
or other materials.
- Never block the slots and openings by placing
the set on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface.
- Never place the set in a confined space, such as
a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper
ventilation is provided.
- Do not place the set near or over a radiator or
heat register, or where it is exposed to direct
sunlight.
Lightning
For added protection for this set during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage to the set
due to lightning and power-line surges.
Service
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
- When the power cord or plug is damaged or
frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the set.
- If the set has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the set has been subject to excessive shock
by being dropped, or the cabinet has been
damaged.
- If the set does not operate normally when
following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are specified in the
operating instructions. Improper adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the set to normal
operation.
- When the set exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the
set, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer)
to determine that the set is in safe operating
condition.

Using the camcorder
The camcorder is not dustproofed, dripproofed
or waterproofed. See "Precautions" (p. 32).
Do not do any of the following when the
Il:1 (movie)/O (still image) lamps (p. 12) or
ACCESS lamps (p. 14, 19) is lit or flashing.
Otherwise the media may be damaged, recorded us

images may be lost or other malfunctions could
occur.
- Remove the "Memory Stick PRO Duo."
- Remove the battery pack or AC Adaptor from
the camcorder.
- Apply mechanical shock or vibration to the
camcorder.
When connecting your camcorder to another
device with a cable, be sure to insert the
connector plug in the correct way. Pushing the
plug forcibly into the terminal will damage the
terminal and may result in a malfunction of
your camcorder.
Do not apply shock or vibration to your
camcorder. The hard disk of the camcorder may
not be recognized, or recording or playback
may not be possible.
Do not use your camcorder in very loud areas.
The hard disk of the camcorder may not be
recognized, or recording may not be possible.
To protect the internal hard disk from shock
by dropping, the camcorder has drop sensor
function"'. When a drop occurs, or under a non-
gravity condition, the block noise made when
this function is activated by the camcorder may
also be recorded. If the drop sensor catches a
drop repeatedly, recording/play back may be
stopped.
When the temperature of the camcorder
becomes extremely high or extremely low, you
may not be able to record or play back on the
camcorder, due to the protection features of the
camcorder being activated in such situations.
In this case, an indicator appears on the LCD
screen (p. 30).
Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure
area, where the altitude is more than 3,000
meters (9,800 feet). Doing so may damage the
hard disk drive of your camcorder.
If you repeat recording/deleting images for a
long time, fragmentation of data occurs on the
media. Images cannot be saved or recorded. In
such a case, save your images on some type of
external media first, and then perform [MEDIA
FORMAT]"'.
Fasten the grip belt and hold your camcorder
correctly while recording.
To adjust the LCD panel, open the LCD panel
90 degrees to the camcorder (CD), then rotate it
to the best angle to record or play (@).
You can rotate the LCD panel 180 degrees to
the lens side (@) to record in mirror mode.
180 degrees (max.)
The LCD screen is manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology, so over
99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective
use. However, there may be some tiny black
points and/or bright points (white, red, blue,
or green in color) that appear constantly on the
LCD screen. These points are normal results of
the manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
Remove the insulation sheet before using the
Remote Commander.

the sun. They may malfunction or become
deformed.
- Near strong magnetic fields or mechanical
vibration. The camcorder may malfunction.
- Near strong radio waves or radiation.
The camcorder may not be able to record
properly.
- Near AM receivers and video equipment.
Noise may occur.
- On a sandy beach or anywhere dusty. If
sand or dust gets in your camcorder, it may
malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction
cannot be repaired.
- Near windows or outdoors, where the LCD
screen or the lens may be exposed to direct
sunlight. This damages the LCD screen.
Operate your camcorder on DC 6.8 V/7.2 V
(battery pack) or DC 8.4 V (AC Adaptor).
For DC or AC operation, use the accessories
recommended in these operating instructions.
Do not let your camcorder get wet, for example,
from rain or sea water. If your camcorder
gets wet, it may malfunction. Sometimes this
malfunction cannot be repaired.
If any solid object or liquid gets inside the
casing, unplug your camcorder and have it
checked by a Sony dealer before operating it any
further.
Avoid rough handling, disassembling,
modifying, physical shock, or impact such
as hammering, dropping or stepping on the
product. Be particularly careful of the lens.
Keep the POWER switch setting to OFF (CHG)
when you are not using your camcorder.
Do not wrap your camcorder with a towel, for
example, and operate it. Doing so might cause
heat to build up inside.
When disconnecting the power cord (mains
lead), pull it by the plug and not the cord.
Do not damage the power cord (mains lead)
such as by placing anything heavy on it.
Keep metal contacts clean.
Keep the Remote Commander and button-type
battery out of children's reach. If the battery
is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately (DCR-SR65/SR85).
If the battery electrolytic liquid has leaked:
- consult your local authorized Sony service
facility.
- wash off any liquid that may have contacted
your skin.
- if any liquid gets in your eyes, wash with
plenty of water and consult a doctor.
When not using your camcorder for
a long time
Periodically turn it on and let it run such as by
playing back or recording images for about 3
minutes.
Use up the battery pack completely before
storing it.
LCD screen
Do not exert excessive pressure on the LCD
screen, as it may cause damage.
If your camcorder is used in a cold place, a
residual image may appear on the LCD screen.
This is not a malfunction.
While using your camcorder, the back of
the LCD screen may heat up. This is not a
malfunction.
To clean the LCD screen
If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen
dirty, it is recommended you use a soft
cloth to clean it. When you use the LCD
Cleaning Kit (optional), do not apply the
cleaning liquid directly to the LCD screen.
Use cleaning paper moistened with the
liquid.
On handling the casing
If the casing is soiled, clean the camcorder body
with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water,
and then wipe the casing with a dry soft cloth.
Avoid the following to avoid damage to the
finish:
- Using chemicals such as thinner, benzine,
alcohol, chemical cloths, repellent, insecticide
and sunscreen.
- Handling the camcorder with above
substances on your hands.
- Leaving the casing in contact with rubber or
vinyl objects for a long period of time.
About care and storage of the lens
Wipe the surface of the lens clean with a soft
cloth in the following instances:
- When there are fingerprints on the lens
surface.
- In hot or humid locations.
- When the lens is exposed to salty air such as
at the seaside.
Store in a well-ventilated location subject to
little dirt or dust.
To prevent mold, periodically clean the lens as
described above. It is recommended that you
operate your camcorder about once a month to
keep it in optimum state for a long time.
On charging the pre-installed rechargeable
battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed
rechargeable battery to retain the date,
time, and other settings even when the
POWER switch is set to OFF (CHG). The
pre-installed rechargeable battery is always
charged while your camcorder is connected
to the wall outlet (wall socket) via the
AC Adaptor or while the battery pack is
attached. The rechargeable battery will be
fully discharged in about 3 months if you
do not use your camcorder at all. Use your
camcorder after charging the pre-installed
rechargeable battery.
However, even if the pre-installed
rechargeable battery is not charged, the
camcorder operation will not be affected as
long as you are not recording the date.
Procedures
Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet
(wall socket) using the supplied AC
Adaptor, and leave it with the POWER
switch set to OFF (CHG) for more than 24
hours.
Power supply
You can use your camcorder in any
countries/regions using the AC Adaptor
supplied with your camcorder within the
AC 100 V to 240 V, 50/60 Hz range. Use
a commercially available AC plug adaptor
[a], if necessary, depending on the deSign
of the wall outlet [b].

About menu items, LCD panel and lens
A menu item that is grayed out is not available
under the current recording or playback
conditions.
The LCD screen is manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology, so over
99.99% of the pixels are effective. However,
there may be some tiny black points and/or
bright points (white, red, blue, or green in
color) that appear constantly on the LCD
screen. These points are normal results of the
manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
I l ~ t ' p O i n t
White, red, blue or
green point
Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct
sunlight for long periods of time may cause
malfunctions.
Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause
your camcorder to malfunction. Take images of
the sun only in low light conditions, such as at
dusk.
On recording
Before starting to record, test the recording
function to make sure the image and sound are
recorded without any problems.
Compensation for the contents of recordings
cannot be provided, even if recording or
playback is not possible due to a malfunction of
the camcorder, recording media, etc.
TV color systems differ depending on the
country/region. To view your recordings on a
TV, you need a PAL system-based TV.
Television programs, films, video tapes,
and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may
be contrary to the copyright laws.
About changing the language setting
The on-screen displays in each local
language are used for illustrating the
operating procedures. Change the screen
language before using your camcorder if
necessary (p. 18).
About this Handbook
The LCD screens and indicators shown in
this Handbook were taken with a digital still
camera, and may look different from what you
actually see.
Design and specifications of media and other
accessories are subject to change without notice.
In this Handbook, the hard disk of your
camcorder and "Memory Stick PRO Duo" are
called "media."
Unless otherwise specifically indicated,
illustrations in this Handbook are based on
DCR-SR85E.
About the Carl Zeiss lens
Your camcorder is equipped with a Carl
Zeiss lens, which was developed jointly
by Carl Zeiss in Germany, and Sony
Corporation, and produces superior
images. It adopts the MTF measurement
system for video cameras and offers a
quality typical of a Carl Zeiss lens.
MTF =Modulation Transfer Function. The
number value indicates the amount oflight
from a subject coming into the lens.

not crash the camera against an object.
Do not use this camcorder in very loud areas.
recognized, or recording or playback may not
be possible.
On the drop sensor
To protect the internal hard disk from shock
by dropping, the camcorder has a drop sensor
function (p. 67). When a drop occurs, or
under a non-gravity condition, the block noise
made when this function is activated by the
camcorder may also be recorded. If the drop
sensor catches a drop repeatedly, recording/
playback may be stopped.
Notes on battery paduAC Adaptor
Be sure to remove the battery pack or the AC
Adaptor after turning off the POWER switch.
Note on operating temperatures
When the temperature of the camcorder
becomes extremely high or extremely low, you
may not be able to record or play back on the
camcorder, due to the protection features of the
camcorder being activated in such situations. In
this case, a message appears on the LCD screen
(p.83).
When the camcorder is connected to a
computer
Do not try to format the hard disk of the
camcorder using a computer. If you do so, your
camcorder may not operate correctly.
Note on using the camcorder at high
altitudes
Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure
area, where the altitude is more than 3,000
meters (9,800 feet). Doing so may damage the
hard disk drive of your camcorder.
Note on disposal/transfer
If you perform [MEDIA FORMAT] (p. 52) to
format the hard disk of the camcorder, data
may not be completely deleted from the hard
disk. When you transfer the camcorder, it is
recommended that you perform [eEMPTY]
(p. 53) to prevent the recovery of your data.
In addition to the above, when you dispose of
the camcorder, it is recommended that you
destroy the actual body of the camcorder.
If you cannot record/play back images,
perform [MEDIA FORMAT]
If you repeat recording/deleting images for a
long time, fragmentation of data occurs on the
media. Images cannot be saved or recorded. In
such a case, save your images on some type of
external media first (p. 36), and then perform
[MEDIA FORMAT] (p. 52).

About the "InfoLiTHIUM" battery pack
"InfoLITHIUM" H series battery packs
have the ("l)lnlbU1HlU! mmark.
What is an "lnfoLiTHIUM" battery pack?
An "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for communicating information related
to operating conditions between your
camcorder and an optional AC Adaptor/
charger.
The "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack
calculates the power consumption
according to the operating conditions
of your camcorder, and displays the
remaining battery time in minutes.
To charge the battery pack
Be sure to charge the battery pack before you
start using your camcorder.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of between 10C to 30 C
(50 OF to 86 OF) until the CHG (charge) lamp
turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside
of this temperature range, you may not be able
to charge it efficiently.
After charging is complete, disconnect the cable
from the DC IN jack on the Handycam Station
(DCR-SR55E/SR65E/SR75E/SR85E) or your
camcorder, then remove the battery pack.
To use the battery pack effectively
Battery pack performance decreases when the
surrounding temperature is 10 C (50 OF) or
below, and the length of time you can use the
battery pack becomes shorter. In that case, do
one of the following to use the battery pack for
a longer time.
- Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm
it up, and insert it in your camcorder right
before you start taking shots
- Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FH70/
FH100 (optional)
Frequent use of the LCD screen or a frequent
playback, fast forward or rewind operation
wears out the battery pack faster.
We recommend using a large capacity battery
pack: NP-FH70/FH100 (optional).
Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF
(CHG) when not recording or playing back
on your camcorder. The battery pack is also
consumed when your camcorder is in recording
standby or playback pause.
Have spare battery packs ready for two or
three times the expected recording time, and
make trial recordings before making the actual
recording.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The
battery pack is not water resistant.

About the remaining battery time indicator
When the power goes off even though the
remaining battery time indicator indicates that
the battery pack has enough power to operate,
charge the battery pack fully again. Remaining
battery time will be indicated correctly. Note,
however, that the battery indication will not be
restored if it is used in high temperatures for
a long time, or ifleft in a fully charged state,
or when the battery pack is frequently used.
Use the remaining battery time indication as a
rough guide only.
The ~ mark that indicates low battery flashes
even if there are still approximately 20 minutes
of battery time remaining, depending on the
operating conditions or ambient temperature.
About storage of the battery pack
If the battery pack is not used for a long time,
fully charge the battery pack and use it up on
your camcorder once a year to maintain proper
function. To store the battery pack, remove it
from your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool
place.
To discharge the battery pack on your
camcorder completely, touch ft (HOME) -+
ill (SETTINGS) -+ [GENERAL SET] -+
[A.sHUT OFF] -+ [NEVER] and leave your
camcorder in recording standby until the power
goes off (p. 67).
About battery life
Battery capacity decreases over time and
through repeated use. If decreased usage time
between charges becomes significant, it is
probably time to replace it with a new one.
Each battery's life is governed by storage,
operating and environmental conditions.
. About handling,ofyour camcorder .
On use and care
Do not use or store the camcorder and
accessories in the following locations:
- Anywhere extremely hot, cold or humid.
Never leave them exposed to temperatures
above 60C (140 OF), such as under direct
sunlight, near heaters or in a car parked in
the sun. They may malfunction or become
deformed.
- Near strong magnetic fields or mechanical
vibration. The camcorder may malfunction.
- Near strong radio waves or radiation.
The camcorder may not be able to record
properly.
- Near AM receivers and video equipment.
Noise may occur.
- On a sandy beach or anywhere dusty. If
sand or dust gets in your camcorder, it may
malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction
cannot be repaired.
- Near windows or outdoors, where the LCD
screen or the lens may be exposed to direct
sunlight. This damages the LCD screen.
Operate your camcorder on DC 6.8 VI7.2 V
(battery pack) or DC 8.4 V (AC Adaptor).
For DC or AC operation, use the accessories
recommended in these operating instructions.
Do not let your camcorder get wet, for example,
from rain or sea water. If your camcorder
gets wet, it may malfunction. Sometimes this
malfunction cannot be repaired.
If any solid object or liquid gets inside the
casing, unplug your camcorder and have it
checked by a Sony dealer before operating it any
further.
Avoid rough handling, disassembling,
modifying, physical shock, or impact such
as hammering, dropping or stepping on the
product. Be particularly careful of the lens.
Keep the POWER switch setting to OFF (CHG)
when you are not using your camcorder.
Do not wrap your camcorder with a towel, for
example, and operate it. Doing so might cause
heat to build up inside.
When disconnecting the power cord (mains
lead), pull it by the plug and not the cord.
Do not damage the power cord (mains lead)
such as by placing anything heavy on it.
Keep metal contacts clean.
Keep the Remote Commander and button-type
battery out of children's reach. If the battery
is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately (DCR-SR55E/SR65E/SR75E/
SR85E).
If the battery electrolytic liquid has leaked:

keep it in optimum state for a long time.
On charging the pre-installed rechargeable
battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed
rechargeable battery to retain the date,
time, and other settings even when the
POWER switch is set to OFF (CHG). The
pre-installed rechargeable battery is always
charged while your camcorder is connected
to the wall outlet (wall socket) via the
AC Adaptor or while the battery pack is
attached. The rechargeable battery will be
fully discharged in about 3 months if you
do not use your camcorder at all. Use your
camcorder after charging the pre-installed
rechargeable battery.
However, even if the pre-installed
rechargeable battery is not charged, the
camcorder operation will not be affected as
long as you are not recording the date.
Procedures
Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet
(wall socket) using the supplied AC
Adaptor, and leave it with the POWER
switch set to OFF (CHG) for more than 24
hours.

Glossary
Fragmentation
The condition of a media in which files are
divided into pieces scattered around the media.
You may not save your images correctly. You
can solve the condition by performing [MEDIA
FORMAT] (p. 52).
JPEG
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts
Group, a still image data compression (data
capacity reduction) standard. Your camcorder
records still images in JPEG format.
MPEG
MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group,
the group of standards for the coding (image
compression) of video (movie) and audio.
There are MPEG1 and MPEG2 formats. Your
camcorder records movies with SD (standard
definition) image quality in MPEG2 format.
Thumbnail
Reduced-size images which enable you to
view many images at the same time. [VISUAL
INDEX], [LIII INDEX] and [iii INDEX] use a
thumbnail display system.
VBR
VBR stands for Variable Bit Rate, the recording
format for automatically controlling the bit rate
(the volume of recording data in a given time
segment) according to the scene being recorded.
For fast-moving video, a lot of hard disk space is
used to produce a clear image, so the recording
time to the media shortens.

IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
For your protection, please read these safety
instructions completely before operating the
appliance, and keep this manual for future
reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions
and instructions on the appliance, or the one
described in the operating instructions and
adhere to them.
Power Sources
This set should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the marking label.
Ifyou are not sure of the type of electrical power
supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company. For those sets designed to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
Polarization
This set may be equipped with a polarized ac power
cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug by forcing it in.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the set through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a fire
or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the set.
2008 Sony Corporation Printed in China
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
.Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before cleaning
or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with
water for cleaning the exterior of the set.
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets near water
- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection
Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to the
plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord
exits from the appliance.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The set may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and
serious damage to the set. Use only a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer.

.Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of the set, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must never
be blocked or covered.
- Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth
or other materials.
- Never block the slots and openings by placing
the set on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface.
- Never place the set in a confined space, such as
a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper
ventilation is provided.
- Do not place the set near or over a radiator or
heat register, or where it is exposed to direct
sunlight.
.Lightning
For added protection for this set during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the set due to lightning and
power-line surges.
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
- When the power cord or plug is damaged or
frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the set.
- If the set has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the set has been subject to excessive shock by
being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
- If the set does not operate normally when
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are specified in the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the set to normal operation.
- When the set exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the
set, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer)
to determine that the set is in safe operating
condition.
