Troubleshooting

Before consulting your JVC dealer, please check the following to see if you can correct the problem yourself.

Vertical white lines appear when shooting a very bright object.

•This sometimes occurs when the contrast between the back-ground and the object is great. It is not a defect of the camcorder.

Bright, crystal-shaped spots appear in the LCD monitor and the viewfinder.

•Sunlight is directly entering the lens. This is not a defect of the camcorder.

Colored 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 in 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 %.)

Animation or Time-Lapse is not available.

•Before recording in the Animation mode at the very beginning of a tape, set the camcorder to the Recording mode for about 5 seconds, so that the tape runs smoothly. Using the Fade-in function at this point is a

good way to begin an animated program

( pg. 21, REC TIME/INT. TIME in SYSTEM MENU).

The tape is running, but there is no playback picture.

•The TV has not been set to its VIDEO mode or channel.

•If A/V connection is used, the TV’s VIDEO/TV Switch has not been set to VIDEO.

Playback picture is blurred or interrupted.

•The video heads are dirty or worn out. Consult your nearest JVC dealer for head cleaning or replacement.

The tape stops during fast-forward or rewind.

•The Counter Memory Function has been activated ( pg. 14, “Counter Memory”).

The date and time displays disappear.

•If you remove the power source from the camcorder while the power is on, all settings and selections are erased. Make sure to turn the camcorder’s power off before disconnecting the power source.

The tape will not eject.

•The battery pack is running low.

•If the LCD monitor is not open over 60 degrees, the EJECT switch t does not function.

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 then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.
