4 Press the Recording Start/Stop Button on the camcorder to engage the Record-Pause mode. “DV. IN” appears on the screen.

5 Engage the video unit’s Play mode, then engage the Still Playback mode when you have found a spot just before the edit-in point.

6 Press the Recording Start/Stop Button on the camcorder to engage the Record mode. “ DV. IN ” appears on the screen. Engage the video unit’s Play mode.

7 To stop dubbing, press the Recording Star/Stop Button on the camcorder so that “DV. IN” reappears, then engage the video unit’s Stop mode.

NOTES:

It is recommended to use the AC Power Adapter/Charger as the power supply instead of the battery pack ( pg. 7).

If the remote control is used when both the player and recorder are JVC video units, both units will perform the same operation. To prevent this from happening, press the buttons on both units.

For Digital Dubbing, this camcorder can be connected only to one device at a time.

If a blank portion or disturbed image is played back on the player during dubbing, the dubbing may stop so that an unusual image is not dubbed.

Even though the DV cable is connected correctly, sometimes the image may not appear in step 5. If this occurs, turn off the power and make connections again.

Digital Dubbing is performed in the sound mode recorded on the original tape, regardless of the current “SOUND MODE” setting ( pg. 21).

During Digital Dubbing, no signals are output from the video or audio connectors.

When using a DV cable, be sure to use the optional JVC VC-VDV204U DV cable.

GR-DVL100, GR-DVL300 specifications

The JVC GR-DVL300 and GR-DVL100 are part of JVC's line of compact and versatile MiniDV camcorders that gained popularity in the early 2000s. Both models are designed to cater to the needs of amateur videographers and provide high-quality video recording in a user-friendly format.

The JVC GR-DVL300 stands out with its progressive scan technology, which enhances video clarity and reduces motion blur. This feature is particularly beneficial when shooting fast-moving subjects, making it a great choice for capturing sports events or action-packed scenes. The GR-DVL300 also boasts a 20x optical zoom lens, which allows users to get closer to their subjects without sacrificing image quality, while a digital zoom feature extends this capability even further.

In contrast, the GR-DVL100 is equipped with a 16x optical zoom and offers slightly fewer advanced features compared to its sibling. However, it remains a robust option for those who prioritize simplicity and ease of use. Both camcorders incorporate JVC’s advanced Image Stabilization technology, reducing camera shake and ensuring smooth footage, even during handheld use.

A key characteristic of both models is their ability to record in both LP (long play) and SP (standard play) modes, providing flexibility in recording time and video quality. Users can choose the mode that best suits their needs, whether they want longer recording durations or superior video quality.

Additionally, both camcorders feature a built-in digital still camera function, allowing users to capture snapshots at 640x480 resolution. This dual functionality adds value for those who want to capture both video and still images without the need for separate devices.

The JVC GR-DVL300 and GR-DVL100 also come with an array of connectivity options, including USB ports for easy transfer of videos to computers as well as S-Video and AV outputs for playback on larger screens. Their compact design makes them portable and convenient for on-the-go shooting, catering to travelers and event documentarians alike.

With their blend of functionality, ease of use, and versatile features, the JVC GR-DVL300 and GR-DVL100 remain noteworthy options for casual filmmakers who want reliable performance and impressive video quality in a compact camcorder package.
