Remember that this camcorder is not

 

 

compatible with other digital video formats.

 

Remember that this camcorder is intended for

 

private consumer use only.

 

 

OR

Any commercial use without proper permission is

 

prohibited. (Even if you record an event such as a

 

show, performance or exhibition for personal

 

 

enjoyment, it is strongly recommended that you

 

obtain permission beforehand.)

 

 

 

Before recording important video, be sure to make a trial recording.

Play back your trial recording to make sure the video and audio have been recorded properly.

We recommend cleaning your video heads before use.

If you haven’t used your camcorder for a while, the heads may be dirty. We recommend periodically cleaning the video heads with a cleaning cassette (optional).

Be sure to store your cassette tapes and camcorder in the proper environment.

Video heads can become dirty more easily if your cassette tapes and camcorder are stored in a dusty area. Cassette tapes should be removed from the camcorder and stored in cassette cases. Store the camcorder in a bag or other container.

Use SP (Standard) mode for important video recordings.

LP (Long Play) mode lets you record 50% more video than SP (Standard) mode, but you may experience mosaic-like noise during playback depending on the tape characteristics and the usage environment.

So, for important recordings, we recommend using SP mode.

It is recommended that you use JVC brand cassette tapes.

Your camcorder is compatible with all brands of commercially available cassette tapes complying with the MiniDV standard, but JVC brand cassette tapes are designed and optimized to maximize the performance of your camcorder.

Also read “CAUTIONS” on pages 57 59.
