TROUBLESHOOTING

Before consulting your JVC dealer, please check the following to see if you can correct the problem yourself.

Vertical white lines appear when shooting a very

bright object.

• This sometimes occurs when the contrast between the

back-ground and the object is great. It is not a defect of

the camcorder.

Playback picture is blurred or interrupted.

• The video heads are dirty or worn out. Consult your

nearest JVC dealer for head cleaning or replacement.

The tape stops during fast-forward or rewind.

• The Counter Memory Function has been activated

(੬ pg. 14, “Counter Memory”).

Bright, crystal-shaped spots appear in the LCD

monitor and the viewfinder.

• Sunlight is directly entering the lens. This is not a defect

of the camcorder.

The date and time displays disappear.

• If you remove the power source from the camcorder

while the power is on, all settings and selections are

erased. Make sure to turn the camcorder’s power off

before disconnecting the power source.

Colored bright spots appear all over the LCD monitor

or the viewfinder.

• The LCD monitor and the viewfinder are made with high-

precision technology. However, black spots or bright

spots of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly

on the LCD monitor or in the viewfinder. These spots are

not recorded on the tape. This is not due to any defect of

the unit. (Effective dots: more than 99.99 %.)

The tape will not eject.

• The battery pack is running low.

• If the LCD monitor is not open over 60 degrees, the

EJECT switch ( does not function.

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 then re-connect it and

proceed as usual from the beginning.

Animation or Time-Lapse is not available.

• Before recording in the Animation mode at the very

beginning of a tape, set the camcorder to the Recording

mode for about 5 seconds, so that the tape runs

smoothly. Using the Fade-in function at this point is a

good way to begin an animated program

(੬ pg. 21, REC TIME/INT. TIME in SYSTEM MENU).

The tape is running, but there is no playback picture.

• The TV has not been set to its VIDEO mode or channel.

• If A/V connection is used, the TV’s VIDEO/TV Switch

has not been set to VIDEO.

Warning Indications

(high)

(exhausted) : Displays the battery remaining power level. As the battery power comes

blinks (battery power warning). When the battery power is exhausted, power

close to nil, the battery indicator

turns off automatically.

: Blinks when no cassette is loaded, or when the erase protection tab is not in the position that allows recording.

TAPE END: Appears when the tape ends during recording, playback or fast-forward.

LENS CAP: Appears for 5 seconds after power is turned on if the lens cap is attached.

CONDENSATION OPERATION PAUSED PLEASE WAIT: These 2 warnings appear alternately every 3 seconds

if condensation occurs. In this case, all functions except tape eject and power on/off are disabled. Remove the tape,

turn the unit off (without removing the power supply), wait a few minutes for the warnings to clear, and turn it on again.

HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED USE CLEANING CASSETTE: These 2 warnings appear alternately every 3

seconds if dirt is detected on the heads during recording. In this case, use an optional cleaning cassette. If the

warning remains after cleaning, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

E01—E06 UNIT IN SAFEGUARD MODE REMOVE AND REATTACH BATTERY: The error indications (E01 — E06)

show what type of malfunction has occured. If an error indication and warning appear, turn the unit off, remove the

power supply (battery, etc.) and wait a few minutes for them to clear. When it does, you can resume using the

camcorder. If the indication remains, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten

service life.

.... 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.

• It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or

after use.
