FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - GR-DVL365 JVC

Comment charger la batterie du JVC GR-DVL365 ?

Pour charger la batterie, insérez la batterie BN-V408U sur le caméscope, puis connectez l'adaptateur secteur au caméscope et branchez-le sur une prise. Le témoin CHARGE clignote pendant la charge et reste allumé fixe lorsque la charge est terminée (environ 1h30). Vous pouvez aussi utiliser un chargeur optionnel AA-V40EK.

Comment utiliser le mode Night-Scope ?

Pour activer le Night-Scope, placez le commutateur Power sur MANUAL, puis appuyez sur le bouton NIGHT. L'indicateur « 0.0 » apparaît. La vitesse d'obturation est automatiquement augmentée jusqu'à 30 fois la sensibilité normale. Appuyez à nouveau sur NIGHT pour désactiver. Utilisez de préférence un trépied pour éviter le flou.

Comment effacer des photos sur la carte mémoire ?

Mettez le commutateur VIDEO/MEMORY sur MEMORY et le Power sur PLAY. Sélectionnez le type de fichier (IMAGE) avec SELECT. Appuyez sur la molette MENU/BRIGHT, allez dans DELETE, choisissez CURRENT (fichier affiché) ou ALL (tous), puis EXECUTE. Les fichiers protégés ne peuvent pas être supprimés sans retirer la protection au préalable.

Comment connecter le caméscope à un téléviseur ?

Utilisez le câble Audio/Vidéo fourni (mini-prise vers RCA). Connectez la fiche jaune à VIDEO IN, la blanche à AUDIO L et la rouge à AUDIO R. Si votre TV possède une entrée S-Vidéo, utilisez un câble S-Vidéo optionnel. Réglez la TV sur le mode d'entrée approprié. Vous pouvez aussi utiliser un adaptateur péritel si nécessaire.

Comment faire un zoom avant ou arrière ?

Utilisez la molette Power Zoom (T/W). Poussez vers T pour zoomer avant (téléobjectif), vers W pour zoomer arrière (grand-angle). Plus vous poussez, plus le zoom est rapide. Le zoom numérique peut atteindre 500x, mais au-delà de 10x, la qualité peut se dégrader. Vous pouvez limiter le zoom à 10x dans le menu CAMERA.

Comment régler la date et l'heure ?

Mettez le Power sur MANUAL, appuyez sur la molette MENU/BRIGHT pour afficher le menu. Sélectionnez DISPLAY, puis CLOCK ADJ. Réglez le jour, mois, année, heure et minute en tournant la molette et en appuyant pour valider. La date est enregistrée sur la bande en permanence, mais son affichage peut être masqué en lecture.

Comment protéger des fichiers sur la carte mémoire ?

Avec le commutateur MEMORY et Power sur PLAY, affichez un fichier. Appuyez sur la molette MENU/BRIGHT, allez dans PROTECT. Choisissez CURRENT pour protéger le fichier affiché ou PROT.ALL pour tous. Validez par EXECUTE. Pour retirer la protection, utilisez CANC.ALL ou CURRENT. Les fichiers protégés ne peuvent pas être supprimés sans déprotection préalable.

Que faire si l'écran affiche « HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED » ?

Ce message indique que les têtes vidéo sont sales. Utilisez une cassette de nettoyage optionnelle (JVC ou compatible). Insérez-la et lancez la lecture ; elle s'arrête automatiquement après environ 20 secondes. Si le problème persiste après nettoyage, consultez un revendeur JVC agréé. N'utilisez pas la cassette de nettoyage plus d'une fois de suite.

Comment transférer des photos sur un ordinateur ?

Connectez le caméscope à l'ordinateur via le câble USB fourni. Mettez le commutateur VIDEO/MEMORY sur MEMORY et le Power sur PLAY. Votre ordinateur reconnaîtra la carte mémoire comme un périphérique de stockage. Vous pouvez alors copier les fichiers image (JPEG) ou les clips E-Mail (MPEG4). Le logiciel approprié peut être installé depuis le CD-ROM fourni.

If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow the instructions given below:

DO NOT make any connection to the Larger Terminal coded E or Green.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue to N (Neutral) or Black
Brown to L (Live) or Red

If these colours do not correspond with the terminal identifications of your plug, connect as follows:

Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured black.

Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red.

If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTIONS:

• To prevent shock, do not open the cabinet. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
• When you are not using the AC Adapter for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from AC outlet.

NOTES:

CAUTIONS:

• This camcorder is designed to be used with PAL-type colour television signals. It cannot be used for playback with a television of a different standard. However, live recording and LCD monitor/viewfinder playback are possible anywhere.
• Use the JVC BN-V408U/V416U/V428U battery packs and, to recharge them or to supply power to the camcorder from an AC outlet, use the provided multi-voltage AC Adapter and Power Cord. (An appropriate conversion adapter may be necessary to accommodate different designs of AC outlets in different countries.)

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).

Do not block the ventilation holes.

(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water.

Also do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit.

(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

SOME DO'S AND DON'TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not point the lens or the viewfinder directly into the sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well as lead to the malfunctioning of internal circuitry. There is also a risk of fire or electric shock.

CAUTION!

The following notes concern possible physical damage to the camcorder and to the user.

When carrying, be sure to always securely attach and use the provided shoulder strap. Carrying or holding the camcorder by the viewfinder and/or the LCD monitor can result in dropping the unit, or in a malfunction.

Take care not to get your finger caught in the cassette holder cover. Do not let children operate the camcorder, as they are particularly susceptible to this type of injury.

Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel surfaces. It could tip over, causing serious damage to the camcorder.

CAUTION!

Connecting cables (Audio/Video, S-Video, etc.) to the camcorder and leaving the unit on top of the TV is not recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the camcorder to fall, resulting in damage.

    B --> E["20x w□□□t"]
    B --> F["40x w□□□t"]

FEATURE: Zooming

PURPOSE:

To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous change in image magnification.

OPERATION:

Zoom In

Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards "T".

Zoom Out

Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards "W".

■ The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the quicker the zoom action.

NOTES:

• Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby, lock the focus by using the manual focus (LPG pg. 43), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
• Zooming is possible to a maximum of 500X, or it can be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom (LFP pg. 47).
• Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.
• During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
• Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch is set to "MEMORY" (pg. 17).
• Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to "W". Also see "TELE MACRO" in the Menu Screen on page 48.

LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON Switch (Open the LCD monitor to access this switch.)

DANGER

■ The video light can become extremely hot. Do not touch it either while in operation or soon after turning it off, otherwise serious injury may result.

■ Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case immediately after using the video light, since it remains extremely hot for some time.
■ When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm between the video light and people or objects.
■ Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.
■ Do not place the camcorder in a cabinet or box while the video light is in operation.
■ When using the video light, if you wish to install the camcorder in a fixed position, attach it to a tripod, etc. Do not affix it directly to a surface such as a table top.
■ It is recommended that you consult your nearest JVC dealer for replacing the video light.

FEATURE: Video Light

PURPOSE:

To brighten the scene when natural lighting is too dim.

OPERATION:

Set LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON as required:

OFF : Turns off the light.

AUTO : Automatically turns on the light when the camcorder senses insufficient lighting on the subject.

ON : Always keeps the light on as long as the camcorder is turned on.

■ The video light can only be used with the camcorder's power on.
■ It is recommended to set the white balance ( pg. 45) to ⚙ when you use the video light.
■ When not using the video light, turn it off to save battery power.

NOTES:

• Even if the battery indicator (☐) does not blink due to low battery charge, the camcorder may turn off automatically when you turn on the video light, or when you start recording with the video light turned on.
• When LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON is set to "AUTO":

- Depending on the lighting conditions, the video light may keep turning on and off. In this case, manually switch the light on or off using LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON.

• While the “SHUTTER” or “SPORTS” mode (pg. 39) is engaged, the light is likely to stay on.
• While the "TWILIGHT" mode (pg. 39) is engaged, the light will not activate.
• While the "Night-Scope" mode (pg. 38) is engaged, the light will not activate.

Time Code

During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene on the tape during playback.

If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from "00:00:00"

(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number.

To perform Random Assemble Editing ( L pg. 58 – 62), time code is necessary. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform “Recording From The Middle of A Tape” below in the following cases;

• When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape.
• When power shuts off during shooting.
• When a tape is removed and re-inserted during shooting.
• When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
• When shooting on a blank portion located partway through the tape.
• When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.

Recording From The Middle Of A Tape

1. Play back a tape or use Blank Search (Lpg. 24) to find the spot at which you want to start recording, then engage the Still Playback mode (Lpg. 21).
2. Set the Power Switch to “AUTO” or “MANUAL” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then start recording.

NOTES:

• The time code cannot be reset.
• During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time code indication does not move smoothly.
• The time code is displayed only when "TIME CODE" is set to "ON" (pg. 49, 50).

FEATURE: Auto Focus

PURPOSE:

The camcorder's Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) to infinity.

However, correct focus may not be obtainable in the situations listed below (in these cases use manual focusing):

• When two subjects overlap in the same scene.
• When illumination is low.*
• When the subject has no contrast (difference in brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-colour wall, or a clear, blue sky.*
• When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.*
• When the scene contains minute patterns or identical patterns that are regularly repeated.
• When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light reflecting off the surface of a body of water.
• When shooting a scene with a high-contrast background.
  * The following low-contrast warnings appear blinking: ▲, ◀, ▶ and 🔒

NOTES:

• If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is not possible. Keep the lens clean, wiping with a piece of soft cloth if it gets dirty. When condensation occurs, wipe with a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally.
• When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first (LFP pg. 18). If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This will not occur when “TELE MACRO” (LFP pg. 48) is activated.

FEATURE: Manual Focus

PURPOSE:

To obtain correct focus.

OPERATION:

1) If you are using the viewfinder, you should already have made the necessary viewfinder adjustments (I pg. 10).
2) Set the Power Switch to "MANUAL" while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then press FOCUS (pgs. 80 and 81, ⑬ FOCUS Button) The manual focus indicator appears.
3) To focus on a farther subject, rotate the MENU/BRIGHT wheel towards “+”. “▶” appears and blinks. To focus on a nearer subject, rotate the MENU/BRIGHT wheel towards “−”. “◀” appears and blinks.
4) Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in. Focus adjustment is complete.

To reset to Auto Focus, press FOCUS twice or set the Power Switch to "AUTO".

If FOCUS is pressed once, the camcorder will enter the focus adjustment mode again.

NOTES:

- Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum telephoto position when you use the Manual Focus mode. If you focus in on a subject in the wide-angle position, sharply focused images cannot be obtained when zoomed up because the depth-of-field is reduced at longer focal lengths.

- When the focus level cannot be adjusted any further or closer, “▲” or “♣” will blink.

Exposure Control

Manual exposure adjustment is recommended in the following situations:

• When shooting using reverse lighting or when the background is too bright.
• When shooting on a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.
• When the background is overly dark or the subject light.

To Return To Automatic Exposure Control ...

..... select "AUTO" in step 4. Or, set the Power Switch to "AUTO".

To Brighten The Subject Quickly ...

..... press BACKLIGHT. 📄 is displayed and the subject is brightened. If pressed again, 📄 disappears and the brightness returns to the previous level.

• +3 exposure has the same effect as the BACKLIGHT Button.
• Using BACKLIGHT may cause the light around the subject to become too bright and the subject to become white.
• Backlight compensations is also available when the Power Switch is set to “AUTO”.

NOTE:

You cannot use the manual exposure control at the same time with backlight, spotlight (☐ pg. 39) compensation and "SNOW" (☐ pg. 39).

Iris Lock

Use this function in the following situations:

• When shooting a moving subject.
• When the distance to the subject changes (so its size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder changes), such as when the subject is backing away.
• When shooting on a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.
• When shooting objects under a spotlight.
• When zooming.

When the subject is close, keep the iris locked. Even when the subject moves away from you, the image will not darken or brighten.

Before the following steps, perform steps 1 through 4 of “Exposure Control”.

5 Adjust zoom so that the subject fills the LCD monitor or the viewfinder, then press and hold the MENU/BRIGHT wheel for over 2 seconds. The exposure control indicator and “L” appear. Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in. “L” changes to “L” and the iris is locked.

Iris

Like the pupil of the human eye, it contracts in well-lit environments to keep too much light from entering, and dilates in dim environments to allow in more light.

White Balance Adjustment

A term that refers to the correctness of colour reproduction under various lighting. If the white balance is correct, all other colours will be accurately reproduced.

The white balance is usually adjusted automatically. However, more advanced camcorder operators control this function manually to achieve a more professional colour/tint reproduction.

1 Set the Power Switch to "MANUAL" while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch.

2 Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in. The Menu Screen appears.

3 Rotate the MENU/BRIGHT wheel to select "W.BALANCE", then press it. The W.BALANCE Menu appears.

4 Rotate the MENU/BRIGHT wheel to select the desired mode.

"AUTO" ...... White balance is adjusted automatically (factory preset).

“MWB”...... White balance is set manually.

“FINE”...... Outdoors on a sunny day.

“CLOUD” ...... Outdoors on a cloudy day.

“ Halogen” ... A video light or similar type of lighting is used.

5 Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in. Selection is complete. Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in again. The Menu Screen closes and the selected mode indicator except "AUTO" appears.

To Return To Automatic White Balance ...

..... select "AUTO" in step 4. Or, set the Power Switch to "AUTO".

NOTE:

White balance cannot be used when Sepia or Monotone (☐ pg. 39) is activated.

Manual White Balance Operation

Perform Manual White Balance when shooting under various types of lighting.

1 Follow steps 1 through 4 of the white balance adjustment, and select “☑ MWB”.

2 Hold a sheet of plain white paper in front of the subject. Adjust zoom or position yourself so that the white paper fills the screen.

3 Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in until begins blinking rapidly.

When the setting is completed, 📋 resumes normal blinking.

4 Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in twice. The Menu Screen closes and the Manual White Balance indicator is displayed.

NOTES:

- In step 2, it may be difficult to focus on the white paper. In such a case, adjust focus manually (pg. 43).

- A subject can be shot under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, fluorescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the colour temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject tint will differ depending on the white balance settings. Use this function for a more natural result.

- Once you adjust white balance manually, the setting is retained even if the power is turned off or the battery removed.

Random Assemble Editing [R.A.Edit]

Create edited videos easily using your camcorder as the source player. You can select up to 8 “cuts” for automatic editing, in any order you like. R.A.Edit is more easily performed when the MBR (Multi-Brand Remote) is set to operate with your brand of VCR (see VCR CODE LIST), but can also be performed by operating the VCR manually.

Before operation, make sure the batteries are installed in the remote control (☐ pg. 54).

SET REMOTE/VCR CODE

1 Turn off the power to the VCR and point the remote towards the VCR's infrared sensor. Then, referring to the VCR CODE LIST, press and hold MBR SET, and enter the brand code. The code is automatically set once you release MBR SET, and the VCR's power comes on.

2 Make sure the VCR's power is on. Then, while holding SHIFT, press the button on the remote for the desired function. The functions the remote can control are PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, FF, REW and VCR REC STBY (you do not need to press SHIFT for this one).

You are now ready to try Random Assemble Editing.

IMPORTANT

Although the MBR is compatible with JVC VCRs and those of many other makers, it may not work with yours or may offer limited functions.

NOTES:

• If the VCR's power does not come on in step 1, try another code from the VCR CODE LIST.
• Some brands of VCR do not come on automatically. In this case, turn the power on manually and try step 2.
• If the remote control is not able to control the VCR, use the controls on the VCR.
• When the remote control's batteries run out, the VCR brand you have set will be erased.
  In that case, replace the old battery with a new one to reset the VCR brand.

For More Accurate Editing

Some VCRs make the transition from Record-Pause to Record mode faster than others. Even if you begin editing for the camcorder and the VCR at exactly the same time, you may lose scenes you wanted, or find that you have recorded scenes you did not want. For a cleanly edited tape, confirm and adjust the timing of the camcorder against your VCR.

DIAGNOSING VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING

1 Play back the tape in the camcorder, then point the remote control at the camcorder's remote sensor and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF.

The Random Assemble Editing Menu appears.

2 Perform Random Assemble Editing on Programme 1 only. In order to check VCR and camcorder timing, select the beginning of a scene transition as your Edit-In point.

3 Play back the dubbed scene.

• If any images from the scene prior to the transition you chose for your Edit-In point were recorded, that means your VCR moves too quickly from Record-Pause to Record mode.
• If the scene you tried to dub starts in progress, the VCR is slow to start recording.

ADJUSTMENT OF VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING

4 Point the remote control at the camcorder's remote sensor and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF to make the Random Assemble Editing menu disappear, then press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in. The Menu Screen appears.
5 Rotate the MENU/BRIGHT wheel to select "VIDEO" and press it. The VIDEO Menu appears. Then, rotate it to "SYNCHRO" and press it. The value for "SYNCHRO" is highlighted.
6 Based on the diagnostics performed, you can now advance the VCR's record timing by rotating the MENU/BRIGHT wheel towards "+" . You can also delay the VCR's record timing by rotating the MENU/ BRIGHT wheel towards "-" . The adjustment range is from -1.3 to +1.3 seconds, in 0.1-second increments. Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in to finish the setting.
7 Rotate the MENU/BRIGHT wheel to select "TJ RETURN" and press it twice. Now perform Random Assemble Editing beginning with step 4 on page 60.

NOTES:

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10^ C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.

(If you're using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period time.
... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

NOTES:

- It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications

Charging 10°C to 35°C

Operation 0°C to 40°C

Storage ....-10°C to 30°C

• Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.
• The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. During use ...

... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV mark. ... be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.
... make sure the cassette is positioned properly when inserting.
... do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly without allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and can result in damage.
... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes the tape to fingerprints and dust.

2. Store cassettes ...

... away from heaters or other heat sources.

... out of direct sunlight.

... where they won't be subject to unnecessary shock or vibration.

... where they won't be exposed to strong magnetic fields (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).

... vertically, in their original cases.

Memory Cards

To properly use and store your memory cards, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. During use ...

... make sure the memory card bears the SD or MultiMediaCard mark.

Illustration of a smiling woman waving, with pixelated background (no text or symbols)

Pixelated grayscale image of a cartoon character with expressive faces (no text or symbols)

• No picture during playback.
• Blocks of noise appear during playback.
• During recording or playback, the Head Clog Warning indicator “✗” appears.
• Recording cannot be performed properly.

In such cases, use an optional cleaning cassette. Insert it and play back. If the cassette is used more than once consecutively, damage to the video heads may result. After the camcorder plays back for about 20 seconds, it stops automatically. Also refer to the cleaning cassette's instructions. If, after using the cleaning cassette, the problems still exist, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

Mechanical moving parts used to move the video heads and video tape tend to become dirty and worn out over time. In order to maintain a clear picture at all times, periodic check-ups are recommended after using the unit for about 1,000 hours. For periodic check-ups please consult your nearest JVC dealer.

How to handle a CD-ROM

• Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface (opposite to the printed surface). Do not write anything or put a sticker on either the front or back surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth outward from the centre hole using a circular motion.
• Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning spray.
• Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror surface.
• Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or humid environment. Keep it away from direct sunlight.

About moisture condensation ...

• You have observed that pouring a cold liquid into a glass will cause drops of water to form on the glass' outer surface. This same phenomenon occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it is moved from a cool place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, under extremely humid conditions or in a place directly subjected to the cool air from an air conditioner.
• Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage to the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to the camcorder itself.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.

The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC Adapter, etc.) and wait a few minutes and then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.
