TROUBLESHOOTING
Before
consulting
your JVC dealer,
please
check the following
to see if you can correct
the problem
yourself.
Vertical
white
lines
appear
when
shooting
a very
bright
object.
• This sometimes
occurs
when the contrast
between
the
back-ground
and the object is great. It is not a defect
of
the camcorder.
Bright,
crystal-shaped
spots appear
in the LCD
monitor
and the viewfinder.
• Sunlight
is directly
entering
the lens. This is not a defect
of the camcorder.
Colored
bright spots appear
all over the LCD monitor
or the viewfinder.
• The LCD monitor and the viewfinder
are made with high-
precision
technology.
However,
black spots or bright
spots of light (red, green or blue) may appear
constantly
on the LCD monitor
or in the viewfinder.
These
spots are
not recorded
on the tape. This is not due to any defect
of
the unit. (Effective
dots: more than 99.99 %.)
Animation
or Time-Lapse
is not available.
• Before
recording
in the Animation
mode at the very
beginning
of a tape, set the camcorder
to the Recording
mode for about 5 seconds,
so that the tape runs
smoothly.
Using the Fade-in
function
at this point is a
good way to begin an animated
programme
(:
pg. 2I,
REC TIME/INT.
TIME
in SYSTEM
MENU).
The tape is running,
but there is no playback
picture.
• The TV has not been set to its VIDEO
mode or channel
• If A/V connection
is used, the TV's VlDEO/TV
Switch
has not been set to VIDEO.
Playback
picture
is blurred
or interrupted.
• The video heads
are dirty or worn out. Consult
your
nearest JVC dealer
for head cleaning
or replacement.
The tape stops
during
fast-forward
or rewind.
• The Counter
Memory
Function
has been activated
(
pg. 14, "Counter
Memory").
The date and time displays
disappear.
• If you remove
the power
source from the camcorder
while the power
is on, all settings
and selections
are
erased.
Make sure to turn the camcorder's
power off
before disconnecting
the power
source.
The tape will not eject.
• The battery
pack is running
low.
• If the LCD monitor
is not open over 60 degrees,
the
EJECT switch
_) does not function.
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 Adapter,
etc.); and then re-connect
it and
proceed
as usual from the beginning.
