JVC GR-DX35 manual During recording, sound cannot be heard, LCD monitor image is distorted

Page 36

Coloured bright spots appear all over the LCD

monitor or the viewfinder.

•The LCD monitor and the viewfinder are made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly on the LCD monitor or the viewfinder.

These spots are not recorded on the tape. This is not due to any defect of the unit. (Effective dots: more than 99.99 %)

During recording, sound cannot be heard.

•This is normal.

Play, Rewind and Fast-Forward functions do

not work.

• The Power Switch 8 is set to “ ” or “ ”.

¥Set the Power Switch 8 to “ ” ( pg. 13).

The LCD monitor image is distorted.

•During playback of the unrecorded portion, High-speed Search and still playback, LCD monitor indications appear distorted. This is not a defect.

Images on the LCD monitor are jittery.

•The speaker volume is too great.

¥Turn the speaker volume down ( pg. 13).

There is no playback picture on the

connected TV.

•Since the analogue input mode is engaged, the camcorder is in the Record-Standby mode.

¥Set “S/AV INPUT” to “OFF” in the Menu Screen ( pg. 24).

Blocks of noise appear during playback, or there is no playback picture and the screen becomes blue.

¥Clean the video heads with an optional cleaning cassette ( pg. 38).

The LCD monitor, the viewfinder and the lens

have become dirty (ex. fingerprints).

¥Wipe them gently with soft cloth. Wiping strongly can cause damage ( pg. 39).

An unusual mark appears.

¥Check the section of the manual that explains LCD monitor/viewfinder indications ( pg. 42 – 44).

An error indication (E01, E02 or E06) appears.

•A malfunction of some kind has occurred. In this case the camcorder’s functions become unusable.

¥Remove the power supply (battery pack, etc.) and wait a few minutes for the indication to clear. When it does, you can resume using the camcorder. If the indication remains even though you repeat the above two or three times, please consult your nearest JVC dealer. Do not eject the cassette. This will cause damage to the tape.

An error indication (E03 or E04) appears.

•A malfunction of some kind has occurred. In this case the camcorder’s functions become unusable.

¥Eject the cassette once and re-insert it, then check if the indication clears. When it does, you can resume using the camcorder. If the indication remains even though you repeat the above two or three times, please consult your nearest JVC dealer.

The charger indicator on the camcorder does

not light.

•The temperature of the battery is extremely high/low.

•Charging is difficult in places subject to extremely high/low temperatures.

¥To protect the battery, it is recommended to charge

it in places with a temperature of 10°C to 35°C ( pg. 37).

When the image is printed from the printer, a

black bar appears at the bottom of the screen.

• This is not a malfunction.

¥By recording with “DIS” activated ( pg. 22) this can be avoided.

When the camcorder is connected via the DV

connector, the camcorder does not operate.

•The DV cable was plugged/unplugged with power turned on.

¥Turn the camcorder’s power off and on again, then operate it.
