Registering Bluetooth devices
– DCR-TRV80 only
Before communication
What is Bluetooth wireless technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology allows communication between various Bluetooth
devices without using cables. Devices which can use this technology include PCs,
computer peripheral devices, PDAs, and mobile phones. This omnidirectional
communication system enables connection even if a Bluetooth device is in a bag, for
example, or there is an obstacle between devices.
Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has advanced security functions, such as
scrambled frequencies and data encryption.
Authentication
The authentication routine can block unspecified users’ access to this network. When
attempting communication with an unregistered Bluetooth device, the devices must
first be registered with each other by entering a common passkey to each device. When
connecting with a previously registered Bluetooth device, communication starts
without you entering the passkey.
Tip on “Passkey”
The passkey is a 1 to 16 character identification number needed to allow two Bluetooth
devices to communicate with each other. The connection will be permitted after
entering the passkey. This “Passkey” is sometimes referred to as the “Bluetooth
passkey”, “PIN”, “Bluetooth PIN”, etc.
Radio wave indication
indicates the radio wave status of the connected Bluetooth device. (Use this
indication as a guide.)
25
Preparation for Network Operation
Registering a Bluetooth device
To enable your camcorder to communicate with a Bluetooth device, the devices should
be registered with each other. Here we describe how to register the Sony Modem
Adaptor with Bluetooth Function. Once registration is complete, you do not have to
reregister the Bluetooth device as long as you do not cancel registration. You can
register up to three Bluetooth devices to your camcorder. Refer also to the operating
instructions supplied with each Bluetooth device.
For details of Bluetooth devices compatible with your camcorder, access the following
URL: “http://www.myimagecam.com/”
Using the Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function
Connect your camcorder to a Bluetooth device by Bluetooth wireless technology.
Notes
•When using Sony BTA-NW1/BTA-NW1A Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function,
place it so that there are no obstacles between your camcorder and the device. The
distance between the devices must be within 10 m (33 feet).
•The connection may be interrupted depending on the communication conditions.
•When your camcorder is connected to a USB device, your camcorder cannot
communicate via a Bluetooth device.
•Do not remove the battery pack while your camcorder is communicating with
Bluetooth devices. Doing so may cause malfunction of your camcorder.

Online Privacy Policy
Sony Electronics Inc.
Effective: June 21, 2001
Last Update: June 3, 2002
Your Privacy
At Sony we believe our online visitors have a right to know our practices regarding the
information we may collect when you visit our Web sites and what type of information
is collected. The guidelines contained herein apply only to your visit to the Web sites
operated by or for Sony Electronics Inc. and the entities it controls (collectively, “SEL”).
These sites include, but are not limited to, those that contain “sel.sony.com” and those
that contain “sonystyle.com” in their URLs. Sites which are linked to/from these sites
(including sites of other Sony affiliated companies (e.g., Sony Music Entertainment,
Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony Computer Entertainment America) and via banner
ads) may have different policies; therefore, please review the privacy policy notices on
those sites for details.
While SEL does not generally require that you provide us with personally identifiable
information in order to visit and use the SEL sites, please note that in order to
participate in some activities, it will be necessary for you to provide this information. If
you choose not to provide it for those activities, you may not be able to participate in
them.
Collection of Information:
For each visitor to an SEL Web site, SEL’s Web server automatically recognizes, collects
and/or stores information such as the visitor’s IP address/Domain name combination
and any referring sites. SEL may use several technologies to accomplish this. Examples
of such technologies are cookies and Web beacons.
When you visit SEL’s Web sites or advertisements appearing thereon, or use one or
more of the SEL Web site services, we may use an industry-wide technology called
“cookies” which stores certain information on your computer and which will allow us
to customize your experience to better match your interests and preferences or to
simply facilitate your signing in to use the services. Most browsers will allow you to
erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a
warning before a cookie is stored. However, if you block or erase cookies, we may not
be able to restore any preferences or customization settings you previously specified
and our ability to personalize your online experience would be limited. Please refer to
your browser instructions or “help” screen to learn more about these functions.
SEL may also itself use, or engage third parties to use, Web beacons for researching
certain usage and activities on our Web site. The information collected by SEL or
requested from third parties through these Web beacons is in an aggregate, non-
individually identifiable form and is used to find out more about users including
demographic information and usage patterns for more accurate reporting and to
improve the effectiveness of our marketing.
SEL may ask you to provide “personal information”, meaning individually identifiable
information such as your email address, name, mailing address, telephone number,
social security number, credit card number, or persistent identifier (such as a customer
152
number held in a cookie) which is associated with individually identifiable information,
to enable you to participate in contests, chat rooms, on bulletin boards, to fill out a
registration, or to order products and services using these sites. SEL may combine the
information you provide on our Web sites with information we may collect offline from
you or from third parties so that we can more effectively tailor our site, services and
offerings to you.
SEL will not share the personal information you provide on the SEL Web sites with any
other parties, except (a) to other affiliated Sony companies (i.e., (i) Sony Corporation,
(ii) any company of which more than 50% of its outstanding shares are owned by Sony
Corporation, directly or indirectly, and (iii) any company with the name “SONY” as a
part of its trade name) who may want to contact you about products, services or other
offerings that may be of interest to you (SEL and such affiliates being collectively
referred to as “Sony”), (b) with your consent (see paragraph below), (c) as may be
required by law or court order, (d) to persons or companies with whom SEL engages to
carry out or provide support for the operations of the site or our business, or (e) under
exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety or property of our users, the public
or ourselves.
Unless you instruct us otherwise, SEL may contact you to provide information about
products, services, promotions, contests, or other activities or offerings that may be of
interest to you. You can instruct us whether or not you wish to be contacted by
checking or unchecking the box indicating your preference, as applicable, at the place
where your information is collected, or by clicking here and providing the requested
information. In addition, with each communication you receive from SEL, you will be
given the opportunity to indicate if you do not wish to receive future communications
from that company.
With your consent, SEL may share your personal information with third parties outside
of the Sony group of companies who may want to contact you about products, services
or other offerings that may be of interest to you. Each of these companies may have
their own privacy policies. SEL will seek to obtain your consent at the place where the
information is collected either by an “opt-out” or “opt-in” method, or by other means
(such as an email request). If you consent to receiving communications from any of
these third parties, you will need to communicate with them directly if you later decide
that you no longer wish to receive their communications. If you wish to withdraw your
consent from any further sharing of your personal information with third parties, you
may do so by clicking here and providing the requested information.
Use and Disclosure of Anonymous Aggregated Information
SEL may also collect, aggregate and maintain anonymous information about the visitors
to our Web sites, such as visitors hobbies, interests, purchasing habits, music
preferences, and the like. This data can then be used to tailor SEL’s Web site content and
advertising to deliver a better experience for our visitors. SEL may also share such
aggregate information about our visitors with advertisers, business partners, sponsors,
and other third parties; for example, to inform them about the percentage of male/
female visitors or percentage of visitors within a particular age range.
Security
SEL takes great care in maintaining the security of your personal information and in
preventing unauthorized access to it through the use of appropriate technology and
internal procedures. However, SEL does not guarantee that unauthorized access will
never occur.
153
Additional Information
Notice To/Regarding Children Under the Age of 13
SEL believes that children using the Internet require special protection, and we urge
parents or guardians to explain Internet safety to their children. Parents are urged to
spend time online with their children to become familiar with the types of content
available on the SEL sites and the Internet in general. Control tools are available from
online services and software manufacturers to help create a safer environment for
children.
If you are under 13 years of age, you should not provide any personally identifiable
information (for example, your last name, home address or e-mail address) on these
sites without the knowledge and permission of your parent or guardian. If SEL learns
that you are under 13 years of age, SEL will not maintain or use any personally
identifiable information about you without the verifiable consent of your parent or
guardian, except as allowed by law. This may mean that you will be unable to
participate in some activities on the sites without that verifiable consent.
If a child under 13 years of age wishes to participate in any SEL Web site activity, or
wishes to take advantage of a product or service offering, available to children, and to
do so necessitates the furnishing of any of the child’s personal information, please note
the following:
(i) The names, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses of the operators
collecting or maintaining personal information from children through this Web site
are:
Sony Electronics Inc.
1 Sony Drive
Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656
Telephone: 201-930-4800
e-mail address: [email protected]
Sony Electronics e-Solutions Company LLC
155 Tice Boulevard
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey 07677
Telephone: 201-930-4800
e-mail address: [email protected]
(ii) The types of personal information collected from children may include the name,
email address, home address, telephone number and/or any other information
reasonably necessary for the child to participate in a particular activity. This
information may be collected directly and/or passively (e.g., through a web server
that automatically recognized and stores information such as a visitor’s IP address/
domain name combination).
(iii) The information collected may be used for purposes such as fulfillment of a
requested transaction, record keeping, marketing back to the child, or making it
publicly available through a chat room or by other means.
(iv) Unless specific consent is obtained from the child’s parent or guardian, the child’s
personal information will not be disclosed to third parties who are not contractors
hired to carry out the internal operations of the Web sites, other than as may be
required or permitted by law. We have required, or will require, such contractors to
154
agree to use personal information of site visitors only for the purposes of carrying
out these operations and to keep such information confidential. A parent or
guardian has the option of consenting to the collection and use of the child’s
personal information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to
third parties.
(v) SEL is prohibited from conditioning a child’s participation in an activity on the
child’s disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to
participate in such activity; and
(vi) A parent can review and have deleted the child’s personal information, can refuse
to permit further collection or use of the child’s information, and can revoke or limit
consents previously given. For instructions on how to do so, please send an email
to: [email protected] or write to us at:
Sony Electronics Inc.
Personal Information Management Office
1 Sony Drive
MD TA3-12
Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656
Except as permitted by law, before any collection of a child’s personal information takes
place at a Web site directed to children or where SEL is knowingly collecting children’s
personal information, the child will be asked to provide his/her parent’s or guardian’s
e-mail address so that SEL can contact the child’s parent or guardian. SEL will then
send an email (the “Initial Notification”) to the parent/guardian indicating, among
other things, the information that the child is requested to provide, the intended use(s)
of the information and information on how the parent/guardian can, at their election,
delete the child’s information from SEL’s database or records. Upon receipt of the Initial
Notification, a parent or guardian may respond back to SEL to grant his/her consent or
to deny consent in which case SEL will delete the parent or guardian’s email address
and any other personal information, if any, previously obtained for securing parental
consent. Upon SEL’s receipt of the parent/guardian consent, SEL will send a confirming
email to the parent/guardian’s email address or take such other action as may be
required to verify the consent.
If SEL desires to use a child’s information for purposes other than that for which the
parent/guardian consent was previously given, SEL will not do so without first getting
the parent/guardian consent.
Consent to Processing:
By providing any personal information to the SEL Sites, all users, including without
limitation users in the member states of the European Union, fully understand and
unambiguously consent to the collection and processing of such information in the
United States of America.
Policy Governs Use; Changes to Privacy Policy
The terms of this policy will govern the use and any information collected while it is in
place. SEL reserves the right to change this policy at any time, so please re-visit this
page as often as you wish.
