If the problem still exists after following the steps below, please consult your nearest JVC dealer.

The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC Adapter, etc.) and wait a few minutes; and then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.

Power

No power is supplied.

The power is not connected properly.

HConnect the AC Adapter securely. ( pg. 7)

The battery is dead.

HReplace the dead battery with a fully charged one. ( pg. 6, 7)

The LCD monitor is not open fully or the viewfinder is not pulled out when recording.

HOpen the LCD monitor fully or pull out the viewfinder.

The POWER/CHARGE lamp blinks in the Record- Standby mode.

If the Record-Standby mode continues for 5 minutes, the camcorder’s power shuts off automatically.

Then, the POWER/CHARGE lamp will blink to indicate for charging if the battery pack is attached to the camcorder and its power is supplied from the AC Adapter.

HPush back and pull out the viewfinder again or close and re-open the LCD monitor to return to the Record-Standby mode.

During recording, the date/ time does not appear.

“DATE/TIME” is set to “OFF”.

HSet “DATE/TIME” to “ON”. ( pg. 14, 16)

During recording, sound cannot be heard.

This is normal.

The LCD monitor or viewfinder indications blink.

Certain Wipe/Fader effects, certain modes of Program AE with special effects, “DIS” and other functions that cannot

be used together are selected at the same time. HRe-read the sections covering Wipe/Fader effects,

Program AE with special effects and “DIS”. ( pg. 14 – 20)

Digital Zoom does not work.

16X optical zoom is selected.

HSet “ZOOM” to “40X” or “700X”. ( pg. 15)

Coloured bright spots appear all over the LCD monitor.

White spots or bright spots of light (red, green or blue) may appear on the LCD monitor. This may occur when the Night-Scopefunction is activated during recording and is not a malfunction.

Video Playback

Play, Rewind and Fast-Forward functions do not work.

The Power Switch is set to “A” or “M”.

HSet the Power Switch to “PLAY”. ( pg. 12)

Video Recording

Recording cannot be performed.

The Power Switch is set to “PLAY” or “OFF”. HSet the Power Switch to “A” or “M”. ( pg. 10)

The tape’s erase protection tab is set to “SAVE”.

HSet the tape’s erase protection tab to “REC”. ( pg. 9)

“TAPE END” appears.

HReplace with new cassette. ( pg. 9)

The cassette holder cover is open. HClose the cassette holder cover.

When shooting a subject illuminated by bright light, vertical lines appear.

This is a result of exceedingly high contrast, and is not a malfunction.

When the screen is under direct sunlight during shooting, the screen becomes red or black for an instant.

The tape is moving, but there is no picture.

Your TV has AV input terminals, but is not set to its VIDEO

mode.

HSet the TV to the mode or channel appropriate for video playback. ( pg. 13)

The cassette holder cover is open.
