TROUBLESHOOTING

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

The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. 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.

SYMPTOMPOSSIBLE CAUSE(S)

POWER

No power is supplied.	● The battery pack has not been attached correctly ( pg. 6).
	● The battery pack is not charged ( pg. 6).
	● The power supply has not been correctly connected

does not come back on by itself.	● Remove the cassette and disconnect the power source, then
	after a few minutes, try turning the power back on. If it still
	does not come on, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

RECORDING
Recording cannot be performed.	● Make sure the Erase Protection tab is in the position that
	allows recording. If not, slide the tab. Some cassettes have
	removable tabs. If the tab has been removed, cover the
	hole with adhesive tape ( pg. 11).

Recording does not start.	● The camcorder Power Switch has not been set to
