SET” indicator will appear each time you set the POWER switch to CAMERA or
MEMORY (DCR-TRV22/TRV33 only) unless you set the date and time settings.
If you do not set the date and time, “--- -- ----” and “--:--:--” are recorded on the tape or
the “Memory Stick” (DCR-TRV22/TRV33 only) as the data code.
If you do not use your camcorder for about 4 months, the date and time settings may
be released (bars may appear) because the built-in rechargeable battery installed in your
