INSTALLATION

1. Grounding or Polarization

(A)Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

(B)Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

2. Power Sources

Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. If your product is intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

3. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

4. Power Cord Protection

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

2. Lightning

For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

3. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

GR-DVM1 specifications

The JVC GR-DVM1 is a remarkable piece of technology that represents a significant leap in the world of digital camcorders. Released in the early 2000s, this compact device quickly gained recognition for its innovative features and user-friendly design, catering to both amateur videographers and seasoned professionals.

One of the standout features of the GR-DVM1 is its ability to capture stunning video quality thanks to its advanced Progressive Scan technology. This allows for the recording of smoother video footage, perfect for dynamic scenes. The camcorder utilizes a 1/4-inch CCD sensor, delivering a resolution of up to 680,000 pixels, which translates to sharp, vibrant images that reflect true-to-life colors.

The camcorder's 10x optical zoom lens offers exceptional versatility for capturing distant subjects without sacrificing clarity. Coupled with a digital zoom capability, the GR-DVM1 allows users to get closer to their subjects, whether filming a scenic landscape or a candid moment at a family gathering. The lens is designed to minimize distortion, providing both wide-angle and telephoto capabilities.

Flexibility in shooting styles is further enhanced by the camcorder’s built-in digital effects, which include various transitions and filters that make it easy to add a professional touch to home videos. The ease of use is evident in its intuitive controls, enabling users to navigate settings effortlessly. An LCD screen provides a clear view while composing shots, and it's adjustable for optimum viewing angles.

Another notable characteristic of the JVC GR-DVM1 is its compatibility with various recording media. It supports MiniDV tapes, which were popular at the time for their reliability and quality. This format also makes it possible to obtain recordings that can be transferred to a computer for editing or archiving.

In terms of connectivity, the GR-DVM1 is equipped with FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports, enabling straightforward digital transfers to compatible devices. This allows for seamless integration into a digital editing workflow, where hours of recorded footage can be quickly imported for post-production.

The JVC GR-DVM1 not only excels in video capabilities but also includes a built-in microphone and the option for external mic support, ensuring high-quality audio to complement the impressive visuals. With its combination of advanced technology, user-friendly features, and portability, the JVC GR-DVM1 remains a noteworthy camcorder that played a vital role in the transition to digital video recording.
