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.
