The instructions in this manual are for the two models listed in the table below. Before
you start reading this manual and operating your camcorder, check the model number
by looking at the bottom of your camcorder. The DCR-TRV340 is the model used for
illustration purposes. Otherwise, the model name is indicated in the illustrations. Any
differences in operation are clearly indicated in the text, for example, “DCR-TRV340
only.”
As you read through this manual, buttons and settings on your camcorder are shown in
capital letters.

With your digital camcorder, you can use Hi8 

/Digital8   video cassettes. Your

camcorder records and plays back pictures in the Digital8   system. Also, your
camcorder plays back tapes recorded in the Hi8 

/standard 8   (analog) system.

You, however, cannot use the functions in “Advanced Playback Operations” on page
62 to 69 for playback in the Hi8 

/standard 8   system. To enable smooth transition,

we recommend that you do not mix pictures recorded in the Hi8 

/standard 8 

with the Digital8   system on a tape.

TV color systems differ from country to country. To view your recordings on a TV, you
need an NTSC system-based TV.

Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the provision of the
copyright laws.

car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight [b].

•Be careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors. Exposing the LCD

screen, the finder or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause
