Read This First!
Before recording important video, be sure to make a trial recording.
Play back your trial recording to make sure the video and audio have been recorded properly.
We recommend cleaning your video heads before use.
If you haven’t used your camcorder for awhile, the heads may be dirty. We recommend periodically cleaning the video heads with a cleaning cassette (optional).
Be sure to store your cassette tapes and camcorder in the proper environment.
Video heads can become dirty more easily if your cassette tapes and camcorder are stored in a dusty area. Cassette tapes should be removed from the camcorder and stored in cassette cases. Store the camcorder in a bag or other container.
Use SP (Standard) mode for important video recordings.
LP (Long Play) mode lets you record 50% more video than SP (Standard) mode, but you may experience mosaic-like noise during playback depending on the tape characteristics and the usage environment. So, for important recordings, we recommend using SP mode.
For safety and reliability.
It is recommended only genuine JVC batteries and accessories are used in this camcorder.
This product includes patented and other proprietary technology and will operate only with JVC Data Battery. Use the JVC BN-VF808U/VF815U/VF823U battery packs. Using generic non-JVC batteries can cause damage to the internal charging circuitry.

optimized to maximize the performance of your camcorder.
Remember that this camcorder is intended for private consumer use only.
Any commercial use without proper permission is prohibited. (Even if you record an event such as a show, performance or exhibition for personal enjoyment, it is strongly recommended that you obtain permission beforehand.)

* Frames are not displayed during recording.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from 00:00:00 (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from 00:00:00. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform Recording From The Middle Of A Tape ( pg. 20) in the following cases;
When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape.
When power shuts off during shooting.
When a tape is removed and re-inserted during

Battery Packs
The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:
To avoid hazards
...do not burn. ...do not short-circuit the terminals. When
transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
...do not modify or disassemble. ...do not expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch re.
...use only specied chargers.
To prevent damage and prolong service
life
...do not subject to unnecessary shock. ...charge in an environment where temperatures
are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.
...store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.
... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery
every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period time.
...remove from charger or powered unit when not
in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.
Terminals
The Benets Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10°C/ 50°F), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder.
NOTES:
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
Temperature Range Specications
Charging: 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) Operation: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) Storage: –20°C to 50°C (–4°F to 122°F)
The lower the temperature, the longer
recharging takes.
Charging times are for a fully discharged battery
pack.
Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:
During use
...make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV
mark.
...be aware that recording onto prerecorded
tapes automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.
...make sure the cassette is positioned properly
when inserting.
...do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly
without allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and can result in damage.
...do not open the front tape cover. This exposes
the tape to ngerprints and dust.
Store cassettes
...away from heaters or other heat sources. ...out of direct sunlight. ...where they wont be subject to unnecessary
shock or vibration.
...where they wont be exposed to strong
magnetic elds (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).
...vertically, in their original cases.
Memory Cards
To properly use and store your memory cards, be sure to read the following cautions:
During use
...make sure the memory card bears the SD or
MultiMediaCard mark.
...make sure the memory card is positioned
properly when inserting.
While the memory card is being
accessed (during recording, playback, deletion, initialization, etc.)
...never unload the memory card and never turn
off the camcorder.
Store memory cards
...away from heaters or other heat sources. ...out of direct sunlight. ...where they wont be subject to unnecessary
shock or vibration.
...where they wont be exposed to strong
magnetic elds (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).
LCD Monitor
To prevent damage to the LCD monitor,
DO NOT
...push it strongly or apply any shocks. ...place the camcorder with the LCD monitor on
the bottom.
To prolong service life
...avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.
Be aware of the following phenomena for LCD monitor use. These are not malfunctions
...While using the camcorder, the surface around
the LCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD monitor may heat up.
...If you leave power on for a long time, the
surface around the LCD monitor becomes hot.

CAUTIONS
Mechanical moving parts used to move the video heads and video tape tend to become dirty and worn out over time. In order to maintain a clear picture at all times, periodic check-ups are recommended after using the unit for about 1,000 hours. For periodic check­ups please consult your nearest JVC dealer.
How To Handle A CD-ROM
Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface (opposite to the printed surface). Do not write anything or put a sticker on either the front or back surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth outward from the center hole.
Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning spray.
Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror surface.
Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or humid environment. Keep it away from direct sunlight.
About moisture condensation
You have observed that pouring a cold liquid into a glass will cause drops of water to form on the glass outer surface. This same phenomenon occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it is moved from a cool place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, under extremely humid conditions or in a place directly subjected to the cool air from an air conditioner.
Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage to the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to the camcorder itself.
CONDENSATION, OPERATION
PAUSED PLEASE WAIT
Appears if condensation occurs. When this indication is displayed, wait more than 1 hour until condensation disappears.
Serious malfunctioning
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately and consult your local 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, rst disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC Adapter, etc.) and wait a few minutes and then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.
