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!

GR-DVL160, GR-DVL767, GR-DVL367, DVL367, GR-DVL365 specifications

The JVC GR-DVL365, DVL367, GR-DVL367, GR-DVL767, and GR-DVL160 represent a series of high-quality camcorders that cater to videography enthusiasts and casual users alike. With their compact designs and user-friendly features, these models have garnered attention for their exceptional performance and versatility.

One of the standout features across these models is the incorporation of the MiniDV format, which offers superior video quality with high resolution and low compression. This ensures that users can capture videos that are sharp and vibrant, making them perfect for everything from family events to professional projects.

The GR-DVL365 and GR-DVL367, in particular, are equipped with a powerful 800,000-pixel sensor that delivers clear images and videos even in moderate lighting conditions. The GR-DVL767 ups the ante with a 1.5-megapixel CCD sensor, allowing for even finer detail in recordings. These sensors contribute to the overall image quality, making these camcorders suitable for capturing memorable moments in stunning clarity.

Another impressive feature is the 10x optical zoom lens found in many of these models. This allows users to get close to their subjects without sacrificing image quality, a crucial element when filming events where space may be limited. The GR-DVL767 goes even further with a 20x optical zoom, enabling users to capture distant subjects with ease.

The user interface of these camcorders is designed to be intuitive. Most models feature a color LCD screen that not only provides a clear view of the subject but also allows users to navigate the various settings and options effortlessly. Additionally, the built-in image stabilization technology helps reduce the effects of handheld camera shake, resulting in smoother videos.

For those interested in editing their footage, the ability to output video through IEEE 1394 (FireWire) is a significant advantage. This makes transferring video to a computer for editing straightforward and efficient, enhancing the overall filmmaking experience.

Moreover, the GR-DVL365 and GR-DVL367 come equipped with several shooting modes, including night mode and digital effects, allowing users more creativity in their filming. The GR-DVL160, while simpler, still offers essential features that make it a reliable option for everyday use.

In summary, the JVC GR-DVL series of camcorders boasts an impressive array of features, including advanced sensors, optical zoom capabilities, user-friendly interfaces, and solid video output options. Whether you're a budding filmmaker or simply looking to document your life, these camcorders deliver a remarkable blend of performance and ease of use.
