About Batteries
Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart,
or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals
to come in contact with metals, as this can result in
a short circuit and possibly start a fire.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large
power capacity. However, when one is exposed to
cold temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time
becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this
happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or
other warm, protected place for a short time, then
re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery
pack itself is not cold, it should not affect
performance.
(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery
pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
For other notes, 墌pg. 64.

clock’s lithium battery will become discharged and
the date/time stored in memory will be lost. When
this occurs, first connect the camcorder to an AC
outlet using the AC Power Adapter/Charger for over
24 hours to charge the clock’s rechargeable lithium
battery. Then perform the date/time setting before
using the camcorder.
Note that the camcorder can be used without setting
the date/time.

The camcorder needs to be powered up to load or
eject a cassette.
1Slide down and hold OPEN/EJECT in the
direction of the arrow, then pull the cassette
holder cover open until it locks. The cassette
holder opens automatically.
●Do not touch internal components.
2Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH HERE”
to close the cassette holder.
●Be sure to press only the section labelled
“PUSH HERE” to close the cassette holder;
touching other parts may cause your finger to
get caught in the cassette holder, resulting in
injury or product damage.
●Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes
automatically. Wait until it recedes completely
before closing the cassette holder cover.
●When the battery pack’s charge is low, you
may not be able to close the cassette holder
cover. Do not apply force. Replace the battery
pack with a fully charged one or use AC power
before continuing.
3Close the cassette holder cover firmly until it
locks into place.
To protect valuable recordings…
Slide the erase protection tab on the back of the tape
in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents the tape
from being recorded over. To record on this tape,
slide the tab back to “REC” before loading it.
Approximate recording time
To switch the recording mode, refer to pages 31 and
34.
NOTES:
●It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to
open. Do not apply force.
●If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder
does not open, close the cassette holder cover and
try again. If the cassette holder still does not open,
turn the camcorder off then on again.
●If the tape does not load properly, open the
cassette holder cover fully and remove the
cassette. A few minutes later, insert it again.
●When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a
cold place to a warm environment, wait a short
time before opening the cassette holder cover.
●Closing the cassette holder cover before the
cassette holder recedes may cause damage to the
camcorder.
●Even when the camcorder is switched off, a
cassette can be loaded or unloaded. After the
cassette holder is closed with the camcorder
switched off, however, it may not recede. It is
recommended to turn the power on before
loading or unloading.
●When resuming recording, once you open the
cassette holder cover a blank portion will be
recorded on the tape or a previously recorded
scene will be erased (recorded over) regardless of
whether the cassette holder came out or not. See
“Recording From The Middle Of A Tape”
(墌pg. 19).

Zooming
Produces the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous
change in image magnification.
Zoom In
Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring
towards “T”.
Zoom Out
Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring
towards “W”.
●The further you turn the Power Zoom Ring, the
quicker the zoom action.
NOTES:
●Focusing may become unstable during Zooming.
In this case, set the zoom while in Record-
Standby, lock the focus by using the manual focus
(墌pg. 43), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 200X, or it
can be switched to 10X magnification using the
optical zoom. (墌pg. 35)
●Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through
Digital image processing, and is therefore called
Digital Zoom.
●During Digital zoom, the quality of image may
suffer.
●Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/
MEMORY Switch is set to “MEMORY”.
●Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Ring is
set all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in
MANUAL Menu on page 36.
●For other notes, 墌pg. 64.
Journalistic Shooting
In some situations, different
shooting angles may provide
more dramatic results. Hold
the camcorder in the desired
position and tilt the LCD
monitor in the most
convenient direction. It can
rotate 270º (90º downward,
180º upward).
Interface Shooting
The person you shoot
can view himself/
herself in the LCD
monitor, and you can
even shoot yourself
while viewing your
own image in the LCD
monitor.
1) Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180º
so that it faces forward.
●When the LCD monitor is tilted upward to an
angle of over approx. 105º, the monitor image
is inverted vertically. If the viewfinder is pulled
out at that time, it also switches on.
2) Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when
self-recording) and start recording.
●During Interface Shooting, the monitor image
appears inverted as it would when viewing a
mirror. However, the actual recorded image
does not appear inverted.

Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the
tape. This code is to confirm the location of the
recorded scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time
code begins counting from “00:00:00”
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the
end of a previously recorded scene, the time code
continues from the last time code number.
To perform Random Assemble Editing (墌pg. 58 –
61), time code is necessary. If during recording a
blank portion is left partway through the tape, the
time code is interrupted. When recording is
resumed, the time code starts counting up again
from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may
record the same time codes as those existing in a
previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform
“Recording From The Middle Of A Tape” (墌pg. 19)
in the following cases;
●When shooting again after playing back a
recorded tape.
●When power shuts off during shooting.
●When a tape is removed and re-inserted during
shooting.
●When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
●When shooting on a blank portion located
partway through the tape.
●When shooting again after shooting a scene then
opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
Recording From The Middle Of A Tape
1) Play back a tape or use Blank Search (墌pg. 21)
to find the spot at which you want to start
recording, then engage the Still Playback mode.
(墌pg. 20)
2) Set the Power Switch to “A” or “M” while
pressing down the Lock Button located on the
switch, then start recording.
NOTES:
●The time code cannot be reset.
●During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time
code indication does not move smoothly.
●The time code is displayed only when “TIME
CODE” is set to “ON”. (墌pg. 38)

Create edited videos easily using your camcorder as
the source player. You can select up to 8 “cuts” for
automatic editing, in any order you like. R.A.Edit is
more easily performed when the MBR (Multi-Brand
Remote) is set to operate with your brand of VCR
(see “VCR CODE LIST”), but can also be performed
by operating the VCR manually.
Before operation, make sure the batteries are
installed in the remote control. (墌pg. 54)
Set Remote/VCR Code
1Turn off the power to the VCR and point the
remote towards the VCR’s infrared sensor. Then,
referring to the VCR CODE LIST, press and hold
MBR SET, and enter the brand code.
The code is automatically set once you release
MBR SET, and the VCR’s power comes on.
2Make sure the VCR’s power is on. Then, while
holding SHIFT, press the button on the remote
for the desired function. The functions the remote
can control are PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, FF, REW
and VCR REC STBY (you do not need to press
SHIFT for this one).
You are now ready to try Random Assemble
Editing.
IMPORTANT:
Although the MBR is compatible with JVC VCRs
and those of many other makers, it may not work
with yours or may offer limited functions.
NOTES:
●If the VCR’s power does not come on in step 1, try
another code from the VCR CODE LIST.
●Some brands of VCR do not come on
automatically. In this case, turn the power on
manually and try step 2.
●If the remote control is not able to control the
VCR, use the controls on the VCR.
●When the remote control’s batteries run out, the
VCR brand you have set will be erased. In that
case, replace the old battery with a new one to
reset the VCR brand.

Automatic Editing To VCR
13 Rewind the tape in the camcorder to the
beginning of the scene you want to edit and press
PAUSE (9).
14 Press VCR REC STBY (79), or manually
engage the VCR’s Record-Pause mode.
15 Press START/STOP on the remote control.
Editing proceeds as programmed, right through
to the end of the last registered scene.
●When dubbing is complete, the camcorder
enters the Pause mode, and the VCR enters its
Record-Pause mode.
●If you do not register an Edit-Out point, the
tape will be dubbed all the way to the end
automatically.
●If you operate the camcorder during automatic
editing, the VCR will enter its Record-Pause
mode and automatic editing will stop.
16 Engage the Stop modes for the camcorder and
the VCR.
To make the R.A.Edit counter display disappear,
press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF on the remote control.
NOTES:
●Pressing R.A.EDIT ON/OFF on the remote control
clears all settings registered during Random
Assemble Editing.
●When the editing cable is connected to the remote
control’s PAUSE IN connector during dubbing,
make sure the remote control is pointed at the
VCR’s sensor, and the path between the two is
unobstructed.
●Random Assemble Editing may not function
properly when using a tape including several
duplicated time codes. (墌pg. 19)
For More Accurate Editing
Some VCRs make the transition from Record-Pause
to Record mode faster than others. Even if you begin
editing for the camcorder and the VCR at exactly the
same time, you may lose scenes you wanted, or find
that you have recorded scenes you did not want. For
a cleanly edited tape, confirm and adjust the timing
of the camcorder against your VCR.
Diagnosing VCR/Camcorder Timing
1Play back the tape in the camcorder, then point
the remote control at the camcorder’s remote
sensor and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF.
Random Assemble Editing Menu appears.
2Perform Random Assemble Editing on Program 1
only. In order to check VCR and camcorder
timing, select the beginning of a scene transition
as your Edit-In point.
3Play back the dubbed scene.
●If any images from the scene prior to the
transition you chose for your Edit-In point were
recorded, that means your VCR moves too
quickly from Record-Pause to Record mode.
●If the scene you tried to dub starts in progress,
the VCR is slow to start recording.
Adjustment Of VCR/Camcorder Timing
4Press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF to make the Random
Assemble Editing menu disappear, then press
MENU. The Menu Screen appears.
5Press + or – to select “t”, and press SET/
SELECT. The VIDEO Menu appears.
6Press + or – to select “SYNCHRO”, and press
SET/SELECT. The value for “SYNCHRO” is
highlighted.
7Based on the diagnostics performed, you can
now advance the VCR’s record timing by pressing
+. You can also delay the VCR’s record timing by
pressing –.
The adjustment range is from –1.3 to +1.3
seconds, in 0.1-second increments.
Press SET/SELECT to finish the setting.
8Press + or – to select “BRETURN”, and press SET/
SELECT twice.
Now perform Random Assemble Editing
beginning with step 6 on page 60.
NOTES:
●Before performing actual Random Assemble
Editing, do a few Random Assemble Editing trial
runs to check whether the value you have input is
appropriate or not, and make adjustments
accordingly.
●Depending on the recorder, there may be
situations where the timing difference cannot be
fully corrected.

CAUTIONS
General Battery Precautions
If the remote control is not functioning even if it is
being operated correctly, the batteries are
exhausted. Replace them with fresh ones.
Use only the following batteries: AAA (R03) size x 2
Please make note of the following rules for battery
use. When misused, the batteries can leak or
explode.
1. When replacing batteries, refer to page 54.
2. Do not use any different size of batteries from
those specified.
3. Be sure to install batteries in the correct
direction.
4. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
5. Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat as
they can leak or explode.
6. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
7. Remove the batteries from the unit if it is to be
stored for an extended period to avoid battery
leakage which can cause malfunctions.
8. Do not recharge the provided batteries.
Battery Packs
The supplied battery pack
is a lithium-ion battery.
Before using the supplied
battery pack or an
optional battery pack, be
sure to read the following
cautions:
1. To avoid hazards…
... do not burn.
... do not short-circuit the terminals. When
transporting, make sure the provided battery
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap
is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
... do not modify or disassemble.
... do not expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery
to overheat, explode or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
2. To prevent damage and prolong service life…
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge in an environment where temperatures
are within the tolerances shown in the chart
below. This is a chemical reaction type
battery —cooler temperatures impede
chemical reaction, while warmer
temperatures can prevent complete charging.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
... fully charge and then fully discharge the
battery every 6 months when storing the
battery pack over a long period time.
... remove from charger or powered unit when
not in use, as some machines use current even
when switched off.
NOTES:
●It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.

Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to
read the following cautions:
1. During use…
... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV
mark.
... be aware that recording onto prerecorded
tapes automatically erases the previously
recorded video and audio signals.
... make sure the cassette is positioned properly
when inserting.
... do not load and unload the cassette
repeatedly without allowing the tape to run at
all. This slackens the tape and can result in
damage.
... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes
the tape to fingerprints and dust.
2. Store cassettes…
... away from heaters or other heat sources.
... out of direct sunlight.
... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary
shock or vibration.
... where they won’t be exposed to strong
magnetic fields (such as those generated by
motors, transformers or magnets).
... vertically, in their original cases.

5. Dirty heads can cause the following problems:
•No picture during playback.
•Blocks of noise appear during playback.
•During recording or playback, the Head Clog
Warning indicator “” appears.
•Recording cannot be performed properly.
In such cases, use an optional cleaning cassette.
Insert it and play back. If the cassette is used more
than once consecutively, damage to the video heads
may result. After the camcorder plays back for about
20 seconds, it stops automatically. Also refer to the
cleaning cassette’s instructions.
If, after using the cleaning cassette, the problems still
exist, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
Mechanical moving parts used to move the video
heads and video tape tend to become dirty and
worn out over time. In order to maintain a clear
picture at all times, periodic check-ups are
recommended after using the unit for about 1,000
hours. For periodic check-ups please consult your
nearest JVC dealer.
How To Handle A CD-ROM
•Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface
(opposite to the printed surface). Do not write
anything or put a sticker on either the front or back
surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently wipe it
with a soft cloth outward from the centre hole
using a circular motion.
•Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning
spray.
•Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror
surface.
•Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or
humid environment. Keep it away from direct
sunlight.
Serious malfunctioning
About moisture condensation...
●You have observed that pouring a cold liquid
into a glass will cause drops of water to form on
the glass’ outer surface. This same phenomenon
occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when
it is moved from a cool place to a warm place,
after heating a cold room, under extremely
humid conditions or in a place directly
subjected to the cool air from an air conditioner.
●Moisture on the head drum can cause severe
damage to the video tape, and can lead to
internal damage to the camcorder itself.
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local 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/
Charger, etc.) and wait a few minutes and then re-
connect it and proceed as usual from the
beginning.
