Troubleshooting
If you’re having problems with your camcorder, try the solutions in this section. If the
problem still exists, please consult your nearest RCA authorized service center.
External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent your camcorder
from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit (battery
pack, AC power supply, etc.); and then reconnect it and proceed as usual from the
beginning.
Power Problems
No power is supplied.
• The battery pack has not been attached correctly (see page 16).
• The battery pack is not charged (see page 16).
• The power supply has not been correctly connected (see page 11).
The power suddenly goes off and does not come back on by itself.
• Turn the Power switch off and then on again.
• The battery pack has completely discharged.
• Remove the tape and disconnect the power source, then after a few minutes, try
reconnecting and turning the power back on. If it still does not come on, consult
your nearest RCA authorized service center.
Feature and Function Problems
Some menus or features are not available.
The Power switch is set to
A
. Set it to
M
and try again.
During recording, the icons do not appear.
Set DISPLAY to FULL in the SYSTEM MENU (see page 58).
Vertical white lines appear when shooting a very bright object.
This sometimes occurs when there is a lot of contrast between the background and the
object. It is not a defect of the camcorder. Try shooting from a different angle or adjusting
the lighting conditions.
