It sounds as though the time/date battery needs to be replaced. Follow these instructions and check the battery on a meter to be sure it's dead before buying another. Radio Shack will test it for free if you don't have a battery meter. every time I turn on the camera the time and date  - every-time-turn-camera-time-date-input#-thxbnw243fzvv4qxkbwdk5ir-2-0.jpg

LawMate PV-AC30 manual

To set the time / date stamp you'll need your remote control and you'll need to hook it to a TV with AV inputs. Be sure to correctly select the AV input the camera is plugged into. This is the most overlooked step that causes a lot of users frustration.

I've attached a YouTube video on how to accomplish the time/date setting.

According to sony that error code is refered to as a time and date storage issue.

Set date and time comes up every time i turn on camera

Try resetting your camera. In picture taking mode press menu. Go to setup, go up to reset, press right arrow, make sure reset is highlighted and press set.

Then TAKE OUT MEMORY CARD. Go back into menu, go to setup, go up to format, press right arrow and highlight format, press set. Input ur date and time again and then power off and back on. If that doesn't help then you have to send into repairs. 800-706-2534 and keep choosing option 2 and they will tell you where to send it.

Set date and time comes up every time i turn on camera

The date time is controlled by another 'button' type battery in the camera- like a watch battery, there 'go' in time.
This is not a 'user' fixable item usually because it mean dismantliing the camera.
Sending away will be pricey- well on the way to the price of a new camera
So just live with it - I would
