How To Handle A CD-ROM

•Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface (opposite to the printed surface). Do not write anything or put a sticker on either the front or back surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth outward from the center hole using a circular motion.

•Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning spray.

•Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror surface.

•Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or humid environment. Keep it away from direct sunlight.

About moisture condensation . . .

●You have observed that pouring a cold liquid into a glass will cause drops of water to form on the glass‘ outer surface. This same phenomenon occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it is moved from a cool place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, under extremely humid conditions or in a place directly subjected to the cool air from an air conditioner.

●Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage to the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to the camcorder itself.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.

The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from function- ing 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.

Designed for both amateur and semi-professional videographers, this camcorder offers a versatile solution for capturing high-quality video content.

One of the standout features of the JVC GR-DVL815 is its 1/4-inch CCD sensor, which allows for vibrant image quality and enhanced performance in various lighting conditions. With a resolution of 800,000 pixels, it captures crisp, clear images that are suitable for home videos and more serious projects alike. Additionally, the camcorder supports Digital Video (DV) format, providing excellent video clarity and minimizing artifacts during compression.

The GR-DVL815 offers a 10x optical zoom and a 700x digital zoom, giving users the ability to capture distant subjects with remarkable detail. The zoom mechanism is smooth and responsive, allowing for seamless transitions and dynamic shots. The camcorder is equipped with a 2.5-inch LCD screen, which provides a clear view of the shot being captured, making it easier to frame scenes and navigate menus.

In terms of connectivity, the JVC GR-DVL815 features a FireWire (IEEE 1394) port for easy transfer of video content to a computer for editing. This connectivity option was particularly valuable during its time, as it allowed for quick and efficient imports, eliminating the need for extra conversion steps. Moreover, the camcorder includes an A/V output, enabling easy connection to TVs and other video equipment, facilitating playback directly from the device.

The GR-DVL815 also boasts a range of recording formats, including SP (Standard Play) and LP (Long Play), allowing users to choose between video quality and recording time. The camcorder supports MiniDV tapes, another feature that was popular due to the compact size of the media and the high-quality recording it allowed.

Battery life is another essential aspect, and the GR-DVL815 delivers with a reliable power management system that provides ample recording time on a full charge. The lightweight and ergonomic design of the camcorder ensures comfort during extended shooting sessions.
