Provided Accessories

NOTES:
In order to maintain optimum performance of the camcorder, provided cables may be equipped with one or more core filter. If a cable has only one core filter, the end that is closest to the filter should be connected to the camcorder. Make sure to use the provided cables for connections. Do not use any other cables.
How To Attach The Lens Cap
To protect the lens, attach the provided lens cap to the camcorder as shown in the illustration.
To confirm the lens cap is on correctly make sure the cap is flush to the camcorder.

This product includes patented and other proprietary technology and will operate only with JVC Data Battery. Use the JVC BNVF707U/VF714U/VF733U battery packs. Using generic non-JVC batteries can cause damage to the internal charging circuitry. If the protective cap is attached to the battery pack, remove it first. During charging, the camcorder cannot be operated. Charging is not possible if the wrong type of battery is used. When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the POWER/ CHARGE lamp may not light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the camcorder, then try charging again. If the battery operation time remains extremely short even after having been fully charged, the battery is worn out and needs to be replaced. Please purchase a new one. Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas. Using the optional AA-VF7 Battery Charger, you can charge the BN-VF707U/VF714U/VF733U battery pack without the camcorder. After 5 minutes has elapsed in Record-Standby mode with the cassette inserted, the camcorder will automatically turn off its power supplied from the AC adapter. In this case, the battery charge starts if the battery is attached to the camcorder.

Using The Battery Pack

Perform steps in Charging The Battery Pack. Maximum continuous recording time

* Frames are not displayed during recording.
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. 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 ( pg. 20) 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.

There is a difference in the brightness of the images shot between the centre area which is illuminated by the LED Light and the surrounding areas (which will be darker). Since subjects are shot at a reduced shutter speed when the LED Light setting is ON, they will appear slightly blurred.

For safety, DO NOT
. open the camcorders chassis. disassemble or modify the unit. short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack. Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use. allow inflammables, water or metallic objects to enter the unit. remove the battery pack or disconnect the power supply while the power is on. leave the battery pack attached when the camcorder is not in use. in places subject to excessive humidity or dust. in places subject to soot or steam such as near a cooking stove. in places subject to excessive shock or vibration.

Avoid using the unit

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 cassettes 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.
. While using the camcorder, the surface around the LCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD monitor may heat up. If you leave power on for a long time, the surface around the LCD monitor becomes hot.
. 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.

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. 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.
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.
Serious malfunctioning 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 Adapter, etc.) and wait a few minutes and then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.
