Important Safety Precautions

cut close to connector

Prior to shipment from the factory, JVC products are strictly inspected to conform with the recognized product safety and electrical codes
of the countries in which they are to be sold. However, in order to maintain such compliance, it is equally important to implement the
following precautions when a set is being serviced.

v

Precautions during Servicing

1. Locations requiring special caution are denoted by labels and
inscriptions on the cabinet, chassis and certain parts of the
product. When performing service, be sure to read and com­ply with these and other cautionary notices appearing in the
operation and service manuals.

2. Parts identified by the
critical for safety.
Replace only with specified part numbers.

Note: Parts in this category also include those specified to com-

ply with X-ray emission standards for products using
cathode ray tubes and those specified for compliance
with various regulations regarding spurious radiation
emission.

3. Fuse replacement caution notice.
Caution for continued protection against fire hazard.
Replace only with same type and rated fuse(s) as specified.

4. Use specified internal wiring. Note especially:

1) Wires covered with PVC tubing

2) Double insulated wires

3) High voltage leads

5. Use specified insulating materials for hazardous live parts.
Note especially:

1) Insulation Tape 3) Spacers 5) Barrier

2) PVC tubing 4) Insulation sheets for transistors

6. When replacing AC primary side components (transformers,
power cords, noise blocking capacitors, etc.) wrap ends of
wires securely about the terminals before soldering.

symbol and shaded ( ) parts are

12. Crimp type wire connector
In such cases as when replacing the power transformer in sets
where the connections between the power cord and power
transformer primary lead wires are performed using crimp type
connectors, if replacing the connectors is unavoidable, in or­der to prevent safety hazards, perform carefully and precisely
according to the following steps.

1) Connector part number : E03830-001

2) Required tool : Connector crimping tool of the proper type

which will not damage insulated parts.

3) Replacement procedure

(1) Remove the old connector by cutting the wires at a point

close to the connector.
Important : Do not reuse a connector (discard it).

Fig.3

(2) Strip about 15 mm of the insulation from the ends of

the wires. If the wires are stranded, twist the strands to
avoid frayed conductors.

15 mm

Fig.1

7. Observe that wires do not contact heat producing parts
(heatsinks, oxide metal film resistors, fusible resistors, etc.)

8. Check that replaced wires do not contact sharp edged or
pointed parts.

9. When a power cord has been replaced, check that 10-15 kg of
force in any direction will not loosen it.

Power cord

Fig.2

10. Also check areas surrounding repaired locations.

11. Products using cathode ray tubes (CRTs)
In regard to such products, the cathode ray tubes themselves,
the high voltage circuits, and related circuits are specified for
compliance with recognized codes pertaining to X-ray emission.
Consequently, when servicing these products, replace the cath­ode ray tubes and other parts with only the specified parts.
Under no circumstances attempt to modify these circuits.
Unauthorized modification can increase the high voltage value
and cause X-ray emission from the cathode ray tube.

Safety Check after Servicing

Examine the area surrounding the repaired location for damage or deterioration. Observe that screws, parts and wires have been
returned to original positions, Afterwards, perform the following tests and confirm the specified values in order to verify compli­ance with safety standards.

1. Insulation resistance test

Confirm the specified insulation resistance or greater between power cord plug prongs and
externally exposed parts of the set (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input
and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.). See table 1 below.

2. Dielectric strength test

Confirm specified dielectric strength or greater between power cord plug prongs and exposed
accessible parts of the set (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input and output
terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.). See table 1 below.

3. Clearance distance

When replacing primary circuit components, confirm specified clearance distance (d), (d’) be­tween soldered terminals, and between terminals and surrounding metallic parts. See table 1
below.

Fig. 8

4. Leakage current test

Confirm specified or lower leakage current between earth ground/power cord plug prongs
and externally exposed accessible parts (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio
input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.).
Measuring Method : (Power ON)
Insert load Z between earth ground/power cord plug prongs and externally exposed accessi­ble parts. Use an AC voltmeter to measure across both terminals of load Z. See figure 9 and
following table 2.

ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT

2.1 ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT

2.1.1 Precautions

Both the camera section and deck section of this model
are designed and manufactured to be adjustment-free.
However, if both or either of the following parts is replaced,
it needs special adjustment with a personal computer at a
JVC service equipment after the part replacement

• OP block assembly

• EEPROM (on the MAIN board)

When there is some trouble in the electric circuit, it is required
to detect the faulty part with specified test instruments first
and then to proceed to repair, replacement and adjustment.

1. When cheking a signal at a chip test point, be sure to use
an IC clip or the like not to apply any stress to the test point.
When replacing a chip part (IC in particular), completely
remove solder chips from it and its periphery before
proceeding to part replacement (in order to avoid exfoliation
of the pattern).

2. Carefully disconnect/connect connectors because they
are apt to get damaged.

MAJOR FEATURES

EN 7

Three high-quality still image shooting modes

1. 6M Pro-Still (Pixel Shift Mode) (Z pg. 46)

This mode collects twice as much image data by
using two exposures (with the CCD shifted one
pixel for the second exposure), resulting in an
image consisting of 6 million pixels, or twice as
many in normal mode.

2. DR Pro-Still (Wide Range Mode) (Z pg. 47)

This mode uses two exposures, one with the
exposure adjusted for the dark portions of the
image, and one with the exposure adjusted for the
bright portions of the image. By using the image
data from both exposures, it is possible to achieve a
wide dynamic range that was previously impossible.
This mode avoids pictures where part of the image
is blacked out or whited out, which occurs easily
with conventional digital cameras.

3. NR Pro-Still (Noise Reduction Mode) (Z pg. 48)

This mode uses several exposures to collect a large
amount of image information, then extracts the
signal components and eliminates the noise
components. This mode eliminates electronic noise,
which occurs easily with conventional digital
cameras.

Video Shooting

This feature is useful, if you want to send a short
video by e-mail.

Collage shooting

This feature allows you to combine a subject with a
previously photographed background with a simple
operation.

Using the SmartMedia™ card* increases
photo capacity

This unit is compatible with SmartMedia™ cards*
(optional), which can be used to increase the
number of pictures that can be taken.
* “SmartMedia™ card” (which is described as

“Memory card” in this instruction manual) is a
trademark of Toshiba Corporation.

Before taking important photos

● When you need to take an important photo,
always take a test photo first and confirm that the
camera is operating normally.

● Memory card is not installed when this unit is
purchased. Be sure to install a Memory card
before taking photos.

● Before shooting, always confirm how much
memory is remaining from the memory card.

● We cannot bear any responsibility for an inability
to shoot, record, or playback material normally in
the event of a problem with a digital video
camera, Memory card, etc.

● Store backups of important photos on a personal
computer, etc. We cannot bear any responsibility
for pictures stored in memory that are lost or
altered.

Copyrights

You may only use material that you photograph or
record with this digital camera for your own
personal use, and not in any way that infringes on
the copyrights of a third party. (Note that some
performances and exhibits have restrictions against
photography, even if only for your personal use.)
