Before Using This Camcorder
Make sure you only use cassettes with the Mini DV mark
.
Make sure you only use memory cards with the mark
or .
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.
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.)
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 havent 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) mode for important video recordings.
LP (Long Play) mode lets you record 50% more video than
SP (Standard) 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.
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.
