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 awhile, 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.

For safety and reliability.

It is recommended only genuine JVC batteries and accessories are used in this camcorder.

This product includes patented and other proprietary technology and will operate only with JVC Data Battery. Use the JVC BN-VF707U/ VF714U/VF733U battery packs. Using generic non-JVC batteries can cause damage to the internal charging circuitry.

This camcorder is designed exclusively for the digital video cassette, SD Memory Card and

MultiMediaCard. Only cassettes marked “

Remember that this camcorder is intended for private consumer use only.

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.)

-in place where humidity is extremely low (below 35%) or extremely high (80%).

The LCD monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly on the LCD monitor. These spots are not recorded on the tape. This is not due to any defect of the unit. (Effective dots: more than 99.99%)

Do not leave the battery pack attached when the camcorder is not in use and check the unit regularly whether it is working or not.
