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.
SYMPTOM
POWER
No power is supplied.
The power suddenly goes off and does
not come back on by itself.
OTHER
Some functions are not available.
During recording, the indications do
not appear.
Vertical white lines appear when
shooting a very bright object.
Bright, crystal-shaped spots appear in
the LCD monitor and the viewfinder.
The rear of the LCD monitor is hot.
Colored bright spots appear all over the
LCD monitor or the viewfinder.
The indicators and the picture color on
the LCD monitor are not clear.
The LCD monitor, the viewfinder and
the lens have become dirty (ex.
fingerprints).
An error number (i.e. E03) appears.
The image is out of focus.
Even though the Lens Cover is open, the
Lens Cover Warning indicator blinks.
POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)
The battery pack has not been attached correctly (
The battery pack is not charged (
The power supply has not been correctly connected (
The battery pack has completely discharged.
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.
The Power Switch is set to "AUTO".
Certain combinations of modes or effects are not possible to use.
Press DISPLAY for longer than 1 second to make the indica-
tions appear ( pg. 19).
This sometimes occurs when the contrast between the back-
ground and the object is great. It is not a defect of the camcorder.
Sunlight is directly entering the lens. This is not a defect of the
camcorder.
The light used to illuminate the LCD monitor causes it to be
hot. Close the LCD monitor to turn it off or set the power
switch to "OFF", and let the unit cool down.
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 %.)
This may occur when the surface or the edge of the LCD
monitor is pressed.
Wipe them gently with soft cloth. Gently wipe the LCD monitor
in a semicircle because wiping strongly spreads the stain and it
won't come out easily.
Turn the camcorder's power off, then disconnect the power
source. After a few minutes, try turning the power on again. If
the error number still appears, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
The diopter needs to be adjusted (
The scene being shot is adversely affecting the operation of
Auto Focus ( pg. 37).
The Lens Cover Warning indicator may blink when the
camcorder is used in dark areas, regardless of the position of
the Lens Cover.
