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.

LCD Monitor

1.To prevent damage to the LCD monitor, DO NOT . . .

.... push it strongly or apply any shocks.

.... place the camcorder with the LCD monitor on the bottom.

2.To prolong service life . . .

.... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

3.Be aware of the following phenomena for LCD monitor use.

These are not malfunctions:

While using the camcorder, the surface around the LCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD monitor may heat up.

If you leave power on for a long time, the surface around the LCD monitor becomes hot.

a cooking stove.

(below 35%) or extremely high (above 80%).

4.To protect the unit, DO NOT . . .

.... allow it to become wet.

.... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.

.... subject it to shock or excessive vibration during transportation.

.... keep the lens directed at extremely bright objects for long periods.

.... expose the lens to direct sunlight.

.... carry it by holding the LCD monitor or the viewfinder.

.... swing it excessively when using the shoulder strap or the grip.

5.Dirty heads can cause the following problems:

No picture during playback.

Blocks of noise appear during playback.

During recording, the Head Clog Warning indicator “” appears.

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.
