Using the camcorder
• Do not hold the camcorder by the
following parts.
• The camcorder is not dustproofed,
dripproofed or waterproofed. See “About
handling of your camcorder” (p. 129).
• To prevent the media from being broken
or recorded images from being lost, do not
do the following when either of the
(Movie)/ (Still) la
mps (p. 23) or the
ACCESS lamp (p. 28) /access lamp
(p. 30) is lit or flashing:
– to remove the battery pack or AC

About menu items, LCD panel,
viewfinder, and lens
• A menu item that is grayed out is not
available under the current recording or
playback conditions.
• The LCD screen and the viewfinder are
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 and the
viewfinder. These points are normal
results of the manufacturing process and
do not affect the recording in any way.

Read this before operating your camcorder (Continued)
• Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder,
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.
HDR-UX9E/UX10E:
It is recommended that you use a DVD-
RW/DVD+RW for trial recording (p. 36).
HDR-UX19E/UX20E:
It is recommended that you use the
internal memory of your camcorder for
trial recording (p. 36).
• Compensation for the contents of
recordings cannot be provided, even if
recording or playback is not possible due
to a malfunction of the camcorder, storage
media, etc.
• TV color systems differ depending on the
countries/regions. 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.
If you cannot record/play back
images, format the media
If you repeat recording/deleting images for
a long time, fragmentation of data occurs on
the internal memory (HDR-UX19E/
UX20E) or a “Memory Stick PRO Duo.”
Images cannot be saved or recorded. In
such a case, save the images on other media
(p. 59, 66, 103) first, then format the media
(p. 76).
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. 24).

Place the disc in your camcorder with the side
with the symbol at the center facing
outwards until it clicks.
• When using a double-sided disc, take care
not to smudge the surface with
fingerprints.
• When a double-sided disc is used in your
camcorder, recording/playback are
performed on that side only. You cannot
switch to record on or play back the other
side with the disc set to the camcorder.
When recording/playback of one side is
complete, remove, then insert it again and
turn the disc over to access the other side.
• Perform the following operations on each

What is the AVCHD format?
The AVCHD format is a high definition
digital video camera format used to record
an HD (high definition) signal of either the
1080i specification
*1
or the 720p
specification
*2
, using efficient data
compression coding technology. The
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to
compress video data, and the Dolby Digital
or Linear PCM system is used to compress
audio data.
The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable
of compressing images at higher efficiency
than that of the conventional image
compressing format. The MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264 format enables a high definition
video signal shot on a digital video camera
recorder to be recorded on 8 cm DVD discs,
etc.
Recording and playback on your
camcorder
Based on the AVCHD format, your
camcorder records with the HD (high
definition) image quality mentioned below.
Video signal:
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 1920 × 1080/50i,
1440 × 1080/50i
Audio signal:
Dolby Digital 5.1ch, 2ch
Recording media:
Internal memory (HDR-UX19E/UX20E), 8
cm DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R,
DVD+R DL discs, “Memory Stick PRO
Duo”
• The media recorded in AVCHD format other
than the above mentioned cannot be played on
your camcorder. 8 cm DVD-RAM discs cannot
be recorded or played on your camcorder.
In addition to HD (high definition) image
quality, your camcorder is capable of
recording an SD (standard definition) signal
on 8 cm DVD discs, etc.
*1: 1080i specification
A high definition specification which utilizes
1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace
system.
*2: 720p specification
A high definition specification which utilizes
720 effective scanning lines and the
progressive system.

Precautions and maintenance (Continued)
On image data compatibility
• Image data files recorded on a “Memory Stick
PRO Duo” by your camcorder conform to the
“Design rule for Camera File system” universal
standard established by the JEITA (Japan
Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association).
• On your camcorder, you cannot play back still
images recorded on other devices (DCR-
TRV900E or DSC-D700/D770) that do not
conform to the universal standard. (These
models are not sold in some regions.)
• If you cannot use a “Memory Stick PRO Duo”
that has been used with another device, format it
with your camcorder (p. 76). Note that
formatting erases all information on the
“Memory Stick PRO Duo.”
• You may not be able to play back images with
your camcorder:
– When playing back image data modified on
your computer.
– When playing back image data recorded with
other devices.
Your camcorder operates only with an
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (H series).
“InfoLITHIUM” H series battery packs
have the mark.
What is an “InfoLITHIUM” 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.
With an AC Adaptor/charger, the remaining
battery time and charging time appear.
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 10 °C to 30 °C
(50 °F to 86 °F) 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 your camcorder or
remove the battery pack.
To use the battery pack effectively
• Battery pack performance decreases when the
surrounding temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) 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/
NP-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/NP-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.

Additional Information
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 if left 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 E mark that indicates low battery flashes
even if there are still 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, touching (HOME)
t (SETTINGS) t [GENERAL SET] t
[A.SHUT OFF] t [NEVER] and leave your
camcorder in recording standby until the power
goes off (p. 95).
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.
• x.v.Color is a more familiar term for the xvYCC
standard proposed by Sony, and is a trademark
of Sony.
• xvYCC is an international standard for color
space in video. This standard can express a
wider color range than the currently used
broadcast standard.
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 60 °C (140 °F), 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, the viewfinder, or the lens may be
exposed to direct sunlight. This damages the
inside of the viewfinder or 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.

Glossary
x 5.1ch surround sound
A system that plays back sound on 6 speakers, 3 at
the front (left, right and center) and 2 at the rear
(right and left) with an additional low-pass
subwoofer counted as a 0.1 channel for
frequencies of 120 Hz or lower.
x AVCHD format
A high definition digital video camera format
used to record an HD (high definition) signal
using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format.
x Dolby Digital
An audio encoding (compression) system
developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc.
x Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator
Sound compression technology developed by
Dolby Laboratories Inc. which compresses audio
efficiently while preserving high sound quality.
Sounds are compressed effectively with high
quality sound, and it enables producing 5.1ch
surround sound.
x DVD format
A format used to record an SD (standard
definition) signal on 8 cm DVD discs.
x 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.
x 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.
x MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
The latest image coding format standardized
jointly by two international standardization
organizations, the ISO-IEC and the ITU-T, in
2003. Compared with the conventional MPEG2
format, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 has more than twice
the efficiency. Your camcorder employs MPEG-4
AVC/H.264 to encode high definition movies.
x Thumbnail
Reduced-size images which enable you to view
many images at the same time. The VISUAL
INDEX screen, the Film Roll Index screen and the
Face Index screen use a thumbnail display system.
x VIDEO mode
One of the recording formats you can select when
using a DVD-RW with SD (standard definition)
image quality. VIDEO mode provides excellent
compatibility with other DVD devices.
x 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 media space is
used to produce a clear image, so the recording
time to the media shortens.
x VR mode
One of the recording formats you can select when
using a DVD-RW with SD (standard definition)
image quality. VR mode enables editing (deleting
or sequence rearrangement) with your camcorder
Finalizing the disc lets you play it back on a VR
mode compatible DVD device.
