NOTES:

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

●The S-Video cable is optional. Be sure to use the YTU94146A S-Video cable.

Consult the JVC Service Center described on the sheet included in the package for details on its availability. Make sure to connect the end with a core filter to the camcorder. The core filter reduces interference.

●To monitor the picture and sound from the camcorder without inserting a tape or memory card, set the camcorder’s Power Switch to “ AUTO ” or “ MANUAL ”, then set your TV to the appropriate input mode.

●Make sure you adjust the TV sound volume to its minimum level to avoid a sudden burst of sound when the camcorder is turned on.

●If you have a TV or speakers that are not specially shielded, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV as interference will occur in the camcorder playback picture.

●If no image is displayed or no sound is heard from the

TV, set “S/AV INPUT” to “OFF” in the Menu Screen ( pg. 50).

●While the Audio/Video cable is connected to the AV connector, sound cannot be heard from the speaker.
