Precautions for Handling SxS
Memory Cards
Make sure that the SxS memory card is
formatted on this memory recorder. SxS memory
cards that are formatted on another product

Formatting an SxS memory card erases all clips
that are stored on the card.

using the memory card.
Do not operate the write-protect switch of the
SxS memory card when it is inserted into the
memory recorder.
For details, please refer to the instruction
manual of the SxS memory card.
Precautions for Handling Recorded
Video Clips
We do not guarantee against damage of the
recorded video clips if the SxS memory card is
removed from the slot while data is being
accessed (e.g., during recording, playback or
formatting). Remove the card only when the
access lamp of the memory recorder lights up in
green.
We do not guarantee against damage of the
recorded video clips in the following cases:
● when this product is used in places subject to static
electricity or electrical noises;
● when the battery or IEEE1394 cable is removed while data
is being accessed;
● when this product is used in sandy or dusty places, or
when a dirty SxS memory card is used.
The recovery feature does not guarantee
successful recovery of the damaged files.
JVC shall not be liable for any damage or loss of the
recorded video clips. (We strongly recommend that you
create a backup for important video clips.)
