Make a backup of important recorded data

It is recommended to copy your important recorded data to a DVD or other recording media for storage. JVC will not be responsible for any lost data.

Make a trial recording

Before the actual recording of important data, make a trial recording and play back the recorded data to check that the video and sound have been recorded correctly. We recommend you to use the same recording media when performing both the trial recording and the actual recording.

Reset the camcorder if it does not operate correctly

Close the LCD monitor and remove the power supply (battery pack or AC adapter) from the camcorder, then reattach it.
