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 Play) mode for important video recordings.

LP (Long Play) mode lets you record 50%

more video than SP (Standard Play) 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.

• This camcorder is designed exclusively for the digital video cassette, SD Memory Card and MultiMediaCard. Only cassettes marked “ ” and memory cards marked “ ” or “ ” can be used with this unit.

• Remember that this camcorder is not compatible with other digital video formats.

• It is recommended that you use JVC brand cassette tapes.

Your camcorder is compatible with all brands

of commercially available cassette tapes complying with the MiniDV standard, but JVC brand cassette tapes are designed and 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.)

• DO NOT leave the unit

- in place of over 50°C (122°F)

- in place where humidity is extremely low

(below 35%) or extremely high (80%).

- in direct sunlight.

- in a closed car in summer.

- near a heater.

• The LCD monitor is made with high precision technology. However, black spots

or bright spots of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly on the LCD monitor. These spots are not recorded on the tape. This is not due to any defect of the unit. (Effective dots: more than 99.99%)

• Do not leave the battery pack attached when the camcorder is not in use and check the unit regularly whether it is working or not.

• Microsoft® and Windows® are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
