TROUBLESHOOTING

If, after following the steps in the chart below, the problem still exists, please consult your JVC dealer.

In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC Power Adapter/Battery Charger, etc.) and clock battery; and then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.
