If your JVC GR-DVL567 camcorder won't turn on, it may be due to a power supply issue:
If the problem persists after checking these, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
You can connect the JVC GR-DVL567 camcorder to a computer using either a USB or PC connection cable or a DV cable. First, ensure both the camcorder and PC are turned off. Connect the camcorder to your PC using the appropriate cable. If using a USB connection, set the VIDEO/MEMORY switch to "MEMORY". Then, turn on the camcorder's Power Switch to "PLAY" while pressing down the Lock Button, and turn on the PC. After use, turn off the PC first, then the camcorder. Refer to the instruction manual of your software for how to transfer still images to the PC. The camcorder will display "ACCESSING FILES" on the LCD monitor while the PC is accessing data or transferring files; do not disconnect the USB cable during this time to prevent product damage.
To play videos from the camcorder on a TV:
Note that when the Audio/Video cable is connected to the AV connector, sound cannot be heard from the camcorder's speaker.
If your JVC GR-DVL567 camcorder is not recording, consider the following:
To charge the battery pack:
Charging times vary by battery pack type: approximately 1 hour 30 minutes for BN-V408U, 3 hours for BN-V416U (optional), and 5 hours for BN-V428U (optional). Charging is recommended when the temperature is between 10°C and 35°C.
If your camcorder's screen is not working:
If you experience blocks of noise during playback or if the "HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED" warning appears, you should clean the video heads with an optional cleaning cassette. Insert the cleaning cassette and play it back. If the problems persist after using the cleaning cassette, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
To open the tape compartment:
Note that the cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.
If an error indication (such as E01, E02, or E06) appears, indicating a malfunction and the unit is in safeguard mode, you should remove the power supply (battery pack, etc.) and wait a few minutes for the indication to clear. Once it clears, you can resume using the camcorder. If the indication persists after repeating this process two or three times, consult your nearest JVC dealer. Do not eject the cassette if these errors occur, as it may cause damage to the tape.
If an error indication (such as E03 or E04) appears, you should eject the cassette once and re-insert it, then check if the indication clears. If it clears, you can resume using the camcorder. If the indication persists after repeating this process two or three times, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
To reset the camcorder settings to factory-preset, navigate to the SYSTEM menu and select "CAM RESET", then press "EXECUTE". This will reset all settings to their factory-preset values.
