Manual How do i change the battery in this camcorder?

The built-in backup battery is not intended as a user-replaceable item. Try charging it according to the instruction on page 86 of the manual. If that doesn't solve the problem then you need to take the camcorder to an authorized Sony repair shop and have the battery replaced.

Hello,

Here's a link to the manual for your camcorder. Take a look at page 11. There are composite (dont confuse with component) audio and video outputs. If your TV has the same type of inputs, then a direct connection between the TV and camcorder is possible. Otherwise, you will need a composite video converter to change the format to a specific channel, usually 3 or 4.

On the VHS adapter, try changing the battery (also in the manual as well) to restore operation.

This small back-up battery on my Sony is under the main big power battery, it is like a large screw under the main power pack, I just turn that screw and the little round lid comes off to get to the little silver flat back-up one.
They are readily available from most good camera shops like Jesops for around £12 to £15 each.

If you turn the power (wheel) to off, and it still doesn't turn off, there's a problem with the power switch - it probably has nothing to do with the battery. And it would need to be repaired (at one of the authorized repair center - see your manual for contact info).

Follow this procedure to troubleshoot if the camcorder will not turn on.

IMPORTANT: If model-specific information is required to complete any of the steps in this solution, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the product. Manuals are available online in the Manuals/Specs/Warranty section of the Sony eSupport Web site.

There is an internal battery, but it is a built in and I don't believe it can be removed. However there are clear instructions in the manual on page 69 that detail the steps you should go thru to recharge the exhausted lithium battery for the date.
