➪ Power

 

❍ Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C and 35°C

 

( pg. 6)

 

(50°F and 95°F). 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) is the ideal temperature

 

 

 

range for charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may be

 

 

 

incomplete.

 

 

 

 

 

 

❍ Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.

 

 

 

❍ Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the

 

 

 

status of the battery pack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

❍ To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Adapter

 

 

 

near a radio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

❍ Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it becomes

 

 

 

warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.

 

 

 

❍ The following operation stops charging or discharging:

 

 

 

•Set the Power Switch to “

”, “

” or “

”.

 

 

 

•Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder.

 

 

 

•Unplug the AC Adapter’s power cord from the AC outlet.

 

 

 

•Detach the battery from the camcorder.

 

 

➪ Date/Time

 

❍ The date/time cannot be stored in memory if the built-in clock

 

Settings

 

battery runs out. Consult an authorized JVC dealer for replacement,

 

( pg. 10)

 

or set the date/time as necessary before you start shooting.

 

➪ Recording

 

❍ When the Power Switch is set to “

” or “

” and the LCD

 

( pg. 14, 15)

 

monitor is opened at an angle of 60 degrees or more, the LCD

 

 

 

monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off automatically

 

 

 

to save power (GR-AXM231 only).

 

 

 

 

 

❍ The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.

 

 

 

❍ There may be a delay after you slide EJECT until the cassette holder

 

 

 

opens. Do not use force.

 

 

 

 

 

 

❍ The time required to calculate the remaining tape length, and the

 

 

 

accuracy of the calculation, may vary according to the type of tape used.

 

 

 

❍ The tape remaining time indicator is correct only if the correct tape

 

 

 

length has been selected ( pg. 12).

 

 

 

 

❍ “TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power

 

 

 

goes off automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes.

 

 

 

“TAPE END” also appears when a cassette whose tape is already at

 

 

 

its end is loaded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

❍ If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the Record-

 

 

 

Standby mode has continued for over 5 minutes, recording may not

 

 

 

start immediately.

 

 

 

 

 

 

❍ While shooting, sound is not heard from the speaker (GR-AXM231

 

 

 

only).

 

 

 

 

➪ TBC

 

❍ The “TBC” indicator turns green (gray with a camcorder equipped

 

(Time Base

 

with a black/white viewfinder) while TBC is working.

 

Corrector)

 

❍ TBC does not work during still playback and shuttle search.

 

( pg. 31)

 

❍ The “TBC” indicator turns white while TBC is not operative.

 

 

 

❍ It may take a few seconds before TBC actually starts working.

 

 

 

❍ The picture may be distorted if the TBC mode is activated or

 

 

 

deactivated at the edit-in/-out points or when normal playback

 

 

 

resumes after still playback or shuttle search.

 

 

 

 

❍ If the playback picture is distorted when TBC is set to on, turn off TBC.
