NOTES:

●It is recommended to use the AC Power Adapter/Charger as the power supply instead of the battery pack (  pg. 9).

●If the remote control is used when both the player and recorder are JVC video units, both units will perform the same operation. To prevent this from happening, press the buttons on both units.

●For Digital Dubbing, this camcorder can be connected only to one device at a time. This camcorder can also be used as a recorder.

●If a blank portion or disturbed image is played back on the player during dubbing, the dubbing may stop so that an unusual image is not dubbed.

●Even though the DV cable is connected correctly, some- times the image may not appear in step 3. If this occurs, turn off the power and make connections again.

●If “Playback Zoom” (  pg. 44), “Playback Special Effects” (GR-DVL507 only,  pg. 43) or “Snapshot” is attempted during playback, only the original playback image recorded on the tape is output from the DV IN/OUT connector.

●When using a DV cable, be sure it has a core filter attached. The core filter reduces interference.
