Note The AC adaptor cannot be connected to the camcorder while the battery pack is inserted. Using a Battery Pack Fully insert the battery pack into the battery pack receptacle (page 13), then slide it down to lock it.
Using AC Power (DC IN Power) Setting the Clock Connection example: when connecting BC-U1 Preparations When you turn the camcorder on for the first time after purchasing or replacing the backup battery (page 122), the Initial Setting display appears on the LCD monitor/viewfinder screen. Set the date and time of the built-in clock, using this display. 1 2 Time Zone The value shows the time difference from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Change the setting if needed.
Adjusting the LCD Monitor and Viewfinder The LCD monitor turns on when it is opened and turns off when it is returned to the park position. Adjusting the angle It can be rotated as much as 90 degrees in the direction facing the subject and as much as 180 degrees in the opposite direction. When you rotate it 90 degrees toward the subject, the image on the monitor becomes upside down, indicating the mirror image of the subject.
Using the IR Remote Commander Before use Replacing the battery in the IR Remote Commander Use a commercially available CR2025 lithium battery. Do not use any battery other than a CR2025. Preparations 1 Before you use the supplied IR Remote Commander for the first time, pull out the insulation sheet from the battery holder. Hold down the lock lever 1, pull out the battery holder 2, and remove the battery. Insulation sheet 1 A CR2025 lithium battery is set in the holder at the factory.
Using SxS Memory Cards Inserting/Removing an SxS Memory Card Inserting an SxS memory card 1 Open the cover of the card slot block (page 16). About SxS Memory Cards 2 Insert the SxS memory card into the slot with the SxS label facing right. The ACCESS lamp (page 16) lights in red then changes to green once the memory card is ready for use. Usable SxS memory cards Use the following Sony-made SxS memory cards. Operations are not guaranteed with memory cards other than the following cards.
Preparations Switching Between SxS Memory Cards Checking the Remaining Time Available for Recording When SxS memory cards are loaded in both card slots A and B, press the SLOT SELECT button (page 16) to select the card you wish to use. If a card becomes full during recording, switching to the other card is automatically executed. While recording (or standing by to record), you can check the time remaining for the SxS memory cards loaded in the card slots on the LCD monitor/EVF screen (page 19).
During restoration, the in-progress message and status bar (%) are displayed, and the ACCESS lamp is lit in red. When restoration is completed, the completion message is displayed for three seconds. 1 Copy necessary clips to another SxS memory card, using the copy function (page 71) of the camcorder or the dedicated application software (supplied) (page 107). 2 Format the problem SxS memory card, using the format function of this camcorder.
2 Fit the bottom plate (spring type) into the auxiliary shoe. Slits for screw holes Bottom plate For a PHU-220R that is not formatted or that was formatted with another system, the message “Unsupported File System” is displayed on the LCD monitor/EVF screen. Preparations To execute formatting Insert the bottom plate from the end where the two slits for the screw holes of the auxiliary shoe are not open.
To restore the hard disk Select “Execute” via the up/down/left/right buttons or the jog dial, then press the SEL/ SET button or the jog dial. If restoration fails • A PHU-220R on which an error occurred may become usable again through reformatting. • In some cases, only parts of clips cannot be restored. Playback of the restored clips becomes possible again.
Note When formatting, all data in an XQD memory card— including protected images—are erased and cannot be restored. Preparations Connection between the camcorder and a PC To use an XQD memory card in which data have been recorded with an XDCAM/XDCAM EXseries product, insert it into the slot of the camcorder and connect between the PC and this camcorder using a USB cable.
• USB flash drives other than those listed above may not be recognized if connected to the external device connector. Formatting (Initializing) USB Flash Drives Preparations USB flash drives must be formatted with the FAT32 file system. • “Memory Stick” and are trademarks of Sony Corporation. • “Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo” and are trademarks of Sony Corporation. • “XQD” is a trademark of Sony Corporation. Note Before using a drive, format it on this camcorder or a PC.
2 Insert the protrusion on the back of the CBK-WA01 into the hole on the Wi-Fi adapter fixing bracket, and tighten the screw to fix the CBK-WA01 to the bracket. 3 Loosen the screws, remove the cover of the external device connector, then connect the cable of the CBK-WA01. Using a Wi-Fi Adapter (PMW-200 only) Preparations Mounting an optional CBK-WA01 Wi-Fi Adapter on this camcorder allows a Wi-Fi connection between a computer and the camcorder.
Depending on the microphone used, a humming/ buzzing noise may be recorded. In this case, inserting the cable of the external microphone into the cable clamp (page 46), which is located under the AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors, should solve the problem. To make a connection in ad hoc mode Refer to “Settings on the Computer” under “Making a Wi-Fi Connection to Your Computer (Ad hoc Mode)” in the Operating Instructions supplied with the CBK-WA01 to make settings on the computer.

Appendices Important Notes on Operation Use and Storage Do not subject the unit to severe shock • The internal mechanism may be damaged or the body warped. • If an accessory mounted on the accessory shoe is subjected to severe shock, the accessory shoe may be damaged. In such a case, stop using it and contact your dealer or a Sony service representative. Do not cover the unit while operating Putting a cloth, for example, over the unit can cause excessive internal heat build-up.
Note on laser beams Laser beams may damage the CMOS image sensors. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let the laser beam be directed into the lens of the camcorder. About the LCD panels The LCD panels are manufactured with extremely high-precision technology that yields effective pixel rates of 99.99% or higher. However, very rarely, one or more pixels may be permanently dark or permanently lit in white, red, blue, or green. This phenomenon is not a malfunction.

Backup Battery Replacement This camcorder uses a backup battery to retain various setting data. A lithium battery (CR2032) for backup is mounted in the camcorder at the factory. The backup battery retains the date, time, and timecode in Free Run mode even when no operating power is being supplied. CR20 3V 2 25 Insert a new backup battery (CR2032) with the + symbol on the battery facing outside.
Troubleshooting Power Symptoms Cause Remedy The camcorder does not power on when you set the power switch to ON. No battery pack is mounted and no power is supplied to the DC IN connector. Mount a battery pack (page 21) or connect to AC power using the BC-U1 or BC-U2 (page 22). The battery pack is completely exhausted. Replace the battery pack with a fully charged one (page 21). The power supply cuts while operating. The battery pack becomes exhausted.
External Devices Symptoms Cause The equipment connected It sometimes takes time for the to the camcorder via an connected equipment to recognize i.LINK connection does the operation. not react as expected, for example, no picture appears on its screen. Appendices 124 Troubleshooting Remedy Wait for about 15 seconds. If the connected equipment still does not react, do the following: • Check the i.LINK cable, for example, by replugging it. • Turn the power off, and connect the cable again.
