Zooming is possible to a maximum of 800X, or it can be switched to 32X magnication using the optical zoom. ( pg. 30) Zoom magnication of over 32X 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 (2") to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to W. Also see TELE MACRO in FUNCTION Menu on page 30. When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out rst. If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This will not occur when TELE MACRO is set to ON. ( pg. 30)
* 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.

CAUTIONS

AC Adapter
When using the AC Adapter in areas other than the USA The provided AC Adapter features automatic voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V. USING HOUSEHOLD AC PLUG ADAPTER In case of connecting the units power cord to an AC wall outlet other than American National Standard C73 series type use an AC plug adapter, called a Siemens Plug, as shown. For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

The Benets 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 10C/ 50F), 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 reattach it to the camcorder.

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: To avoid hazards

Terminals

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use. Temperature Range Specications Charging: 10C to 35C (50F to 95F) Operation: 0C to 40C (32F to 104F) Storage: 20C to 50C (4F to 122F) The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes. Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.

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 center 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.

AVS4YOU Programs Help - AVS Video Recorder

Page 4 of 15

Overview
AVS Video Recorder is a special separate utility that enables you to capture video from any video capture device connected to your computer. You can transfer video from DV and VHS cameras and recorders to hard drive and create movie DVDs, capture video from external video capture devices connected to TV tuners and WEB cameras, encode video directly to MPEG-2 instead of native hardware uncompressed video format and save free space on your computer. To start AVS Video Recorder go to Start menu and choose All Programs -> AVS4YOU -> Video -> AVS Video Recorder.

Getting Started

Although there are different capture devices, supported by AVS Video Recorder, the succession of actions necessary to capture video from them is always the same and is quite easy. Follow these guidelines to capture video from the capture device connected to your personal computer: 1. For an internal video device - turn off your personal computer and unplug it. Remove the case and insert your capture video device into a proper empty slot (usually it is a PCI slot, so you should see your capture device and computer motherboard manual for more instructions on how to install the capture device properly). or For an external video device - connect your device to your personal computer using an appropriate cable (usually a USB cable). 2. Turn on your capture device (if needed) and your personal computer. 3. After the operating system boots, install the device drivers from the disc supplied with the device or go to the device manufacturer web site and download and install the necessary drivers. After that you might need to restart your system. 4. Start AVS Video Recorder. You will see the following window:

Page 5 of 15

if you have several capture devices connected to your computer or the following one:
if you have only one capture device connected to your computer. 5. Select a video capture device (in case you have several) clicking it in the device list and set up its parameters. 6. Set the scheduler in case you plan to stop capturing automatically at a certain time or when the captured video file size exceeds some value. 7. Change the audio format and device settings using the provided options. 8. Start capturing. You can additionally manage the video while capturing it using the buttons below the preview window: The Show capturing history button is used to see the list of captured files and select the operation to proceed (edit, convert, trim etc). As soon as you click this button, it will turn into the Return to preview mode button to continue capturing your video. The Mute button is used to switch the sound of the captured video on and off. The Snapshot button is used to take snapshots from the video that is currently being captured. After you press this button the Save window will be opened and you will be able to save the current frame from the captured video into an image file in.bmp format. The Full Screen button is used to switch the program into full screen mode. You can also double-click the preview window to go into full screen. Double-click again to return to window mode. After you finish capturing the list of the captured video files will be displayed for you to watch them, edit, convert or upload to some mobile device. You can also go to the location of the file and watch the captured video using some software video player, for instance, AVS Media Player, or record the video onto a disc using, for instance, AVS Disc Creator, or edit your resulting video using AVS Video Editor.

Setting Capture Parameters
Once the necessary capture device is selected from the list of available ones (this is only possible if you have several capture devices connected to your computer) or in case you have a single capture device in your system, you will need to configure the main capture parameters for the device.
Note: you need to install all the device drivers supplied by the capture device manufacturer before you can start capturing from it. The drivers might be supplied on a disc or downloaded from the device manufacturer web site. Please, install the device drivers before you start AVS Video Recorder.
You will need to use the Capture tab to set the parameters:
The following parameters are available:
Select output video format
Use this option to set the video format that will be used to code the output video file. You can select among: Recommended format - lets the program decide what format will be optimal for the output video. In most cases it will be best to leave this option. AVS Video Recorder will see if the capture device is capable of saving video in compressed format or not. In case a format with compression is supported by the capture device this format will be used to save the captured video. If the capture device supports uncompressed formats only, one of the supported compressed formats will be used instead by default. Native - shows the list of all the video formats supported by the capture device. This list differs depending on the capture device used and you can select one of the listed formats for your output video. MPEG-2 - lets the user select one of the program presets. Currently the program lets you save your video into MPEG-2 compressed video format. You can select one of the profiles that suits your purposes best. Whichever format you choose the selected format parameters will be shown in the lower part of the Select output video format section - you can see the Video format and Audio format details under the MPEG-2 option.

Page 7 of 15

Output path
Output path - the folder on your computer hard disk drive used to store the captured video. You can leave the default setting or select the necessary folder clicking the Browse button next to the Output path field. The Save window will be opened:
Select a folder with enough free space on your computer hard disk drive, video file future name and click the OK button.
Note: you must select a folder on your computer hard disk drive even in case you plan to record your captured video onto an optical disc afterwards.
The available free disk space will be shown in the Disk space available on drive. field measured in gigabytes and approximate duration of the video (hours:minutes:seconds) captured with the current settings.

Capturing summary info

This option shows the information about the currently captured videos (when you start the program for the first time all the values will be zeros and after you start capturing they will change): Captured video duration - the total length of all the captured video measured in hours:minutes:seconds. Captured video size - the total size of the video files with captured video measured in bytes (the measuring units will change to kilobytes - megabytes - gigabytes gradually with the file size change). Number of files - the total number of all the captured video files.

Page 8 of 15

Changing Audio Format and Device Settings
The Settings tab is used to change the additional audio format properties and capture device settings:

Audio format

Select the Audio format and set: Audio Codec - the audio codec used to encode the audio track of your captured video. It can be selected from the drop-down list. Bit Rate - the rate used to code the audio in your captured video. Can be selected from the drop-down list. Sample Rate - the audio frequency used to encode the audio track of your captured video. Can be selected from the dropdown list. Audio Channels - the number of channels that will be present in the audio track of your captured video. You can select the value from the drop-down list.
Note: the available audio codec and its settings will depend on the video format selected in the Capture tab.

Device settings

The Device settings section comprises the video and audio additional device parameters. 1. Video Device Settings Use the Video Device Input field to select the video input jack used to connect the video input source to your capture device. For instance, when you capture video from a VHS tape-recorder/player connected to your TV-tuner card, you will need to select here the input used to connect the recorder - S-Video or Composite. If the image is black-and-white or distorted, you can try and change the Video Standard used by the device selecting it from the appropriate drop-down list.

Page 9 of 15

2. Audio Device Settings To correctly record audio from your capture device you will need to set it up correctly. This can be done in the Audio Device section of the main program window. First you should select an audio device from the list of ones installed on your personal computer. To do that click the Pull Down button of the Audio Device drop-down list and select one of the available audio devices in case have more than one input device installed on your computer.
Note: select your capture device from the Audio Device drop-down list if it is available.
After that select the audio input jack - Audio Device Input - active on the device. The following audio input jacks might be available depending on your input device configuration (the list might differ on your personal computer): Mono Mix - allows you to record the sound from a program player or a hardware tuner connected to your personal computer in mono mode; Stereo Mix - allows you to record the sound from a program player or a hardware tuner connected to your personal computer in stereo mode; SPDIF - allows you to record the sound from any external device connected to the digital input jack of your computer sound card; Aux - allows you to record the sound from any external device connected to the Aux (auxiliary) input of your computer sound card; CD Player - allows you to record the sound from a laser audio disc in you computer CD/DVD-ROM drive; Line In - allows you to record the sound from any external device connected to the Line In input of your computer sound card; Microphone - allows you to record the sound from a microphone connected to the Microphone input of your computer sound card; Phone Line - allows you to record the sound from an external device connected to the Phone Line input of your computer sound card; Usually you should select either Mono Mix or Stereo Mix options. If the audio output from your device is connected using a cable to the line in of your sound card, then select the Line In option. If you would like to overlay your voice onto the video from the capture device, you should choose the Microphone option.
Note: in case you would like to overlay your voice over the video from the capture device we recommend that you use AVS Video Editor for that purpose as it gives your more possibilities in video editing.

Setting Scheduling Options
The Scheduler tab lets the user set the following options:
1. Split the captured video into files - mark this option for the program to automatically split the captured video into parts. The splitting can be done either According to duration (hh:mm:ss) - set the necessary period of time here. When the captured video exceeds the entered time a new file will be started - might be useful if the video that you capture is somehow can be divided into equal time stamps and can be captured according to them; or According to file size (MB) - set the necessary file size. When the captured video exceeds the entered size a new file will be started - might be necessary if you use the FAT file system as it cannot manage files with size more than 4 gigabytes, thus you will have to set the size of 4000 megabytes here. 2. Stop capture automatically - mark this option for the program to stop the capturing automatically either When capturing time exceeds (hh:mm:ss) - set the necessary period of time after which the program will stop capturing. This will be useful if you know the duration of the material to be captured; or When total video files size exceeds (MB) - set the necessary total size of all the captured video files so that when the program reaches this entered size of the captured video it will automatically stop capturing. This might be useful if you have limited free disk space. You can also decide here if you want the program to shut down the computer after the capturing is over. Use the After capturing complete option to activate this mode, and select the Shutdown computer to turn the computer off after the end of capturing or Send computer to sleep to make the computer enter the sleep mode with low power consumption and possibility to quickly resume the current state. 3. Disable screen saver - use this option to turn off the windows screen saver so that it would not start while the capturing is in progress.

Capturing Video
After you set up all the capture device, audio and video device parameters and audio format settings, you can start capturing video from the connected capture device. Click the Start Capture button to do that. You will see the capture information in the lower part of AVS Video Recorder. The following data is available:
File name - the name of the current captured video file. Dropped frames - the number of frames the program had to drop from the source video so that it could keep up with the capturing process. The program can drop frames in case the computer configuration is not strong enough for capturing in real time and the CPU load is too heavy or the free disk size on computer hard disk drive is not enough. This can also happen if the capture device connected to the computer experiences some troubles. Recorded video duration - the current duration of the captured video, measured in hours:minutes:seconds (current file/total files). In case you know the total duration of the video you would like to capture, you will be able to find out how long you still have to capture. Recorded video size - the current size of the captured video file, measured in megabytes (current file/total files). It will depend on the selected video and audio format and format settings. You can use this data to make sure that there is enough free disk drive space on your computer hard disk drive in the current folder or partition. Number of files - the number of the captured files. CPU usage - the load on the central processing unit measured in percent. You can also control the free and occupied disk space in the Disk free space/Disk used space section or watching the colored diagram where the green color is used to display the current value for the free space and the blue color shows the place occupied with files. You can stop capturing any time if you press the Start Capture button once again (actually it will turn to Stop Capture once the capturing process is started). After the capturing is over or if you press the Stop Capture button, you will be presented with the options of what can be done with the captured video:

Page 12 of 15

You can: Edit, Trim - use these options to import the captured files into AVS Video Editor and insert various transitions between clips, apply audio/video effects, cut out unnecessary scenes, add text or voice comments to them etc. Convert, Upload, Burn - use these options to launch AVS Video Converter and convert your captured video, transfer it to your moblile device or burn onto a disc. Play - use this option to launch AVS Media Player and playback your captured video. If you do not have any of the above programs installed on your computer you will be offered to download and install them. Use the Previous file and Next file buttons to navigate between the captured video files and Start Capture to capture more files.
