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 comes out 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 page 20 for information about recording from the middle of a tape. Loosen the Grip Strap if it appears to interfere with the cassette holder cover operation ( pg. 10).

1 Make sure all units are turned off. 2 Connect the camcorder to a TV or VCR as shown
in the illustration ( pg. 22). If using a VCR. go to step 3. If not. go to step 4.
3 Connect the VCR output to the TV input, referring to your VCRs instruction manual. 4 Turn on the camcorder, the VCR and the TV. 5 Set the VCR to its AUX input mode, and set the
TV to its VIDEO mode. To choose whether or not the following displays appear on the connected TV. Date/Time.. set DATE/TIME to AUTO, ON or OFF in the Menu Screen ( pg. 48). Or, press DISPLAY on the remote control (provided with GR-DVL820 only) to turn on/off the date indication. Time Code.. set TIME CODE to ON or OFF in the Menu Screen ( pg. 48). Playback Sound Mode, Tape Speed And Tape Running Displays for tape playback.. set ON SCREEN to LCD or LCD/TV in the Menu Screen ( pg. 48).
It is recommended to use the AC Adapter as the power supply instead of the battery pack ( pg. 9). The S-Video cable is optional. Be sure to use the YTU94146A S-Video cable. Consult the JVC Service Center described on the sheet included in the package for details on its availability. Make sure to connect the end with a core filter to the camcorder. The core filter reduces interference. To monitor the picture and sound from the camcorder without inserting a tape or memory card, set the camcorders Power Switch to AUTO or MANUAL , then set your TV to the appropriate input mode. Make sure you adjust the TV sound volume to its minimum level to avoid a sudden burst of sound when the camcorder is turned on. If you have a TV or speakers that are not specially shielded, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV as interference will occur in the camcorder playback picture. If no image is displayed or no sound is heard from the TV, set S/AV INPUT to OFF in the Menu Screen (GR-DVL820 only, pg. 48). While the Audio/Video cable is connected to the AV connector, sound cannot be heard from the speaker.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If, after following the steps in the chart below, the problem still exists, please consult your nearest 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.

SYMPTOM

The cassette holder cover is open. For Memory Card Recording The VIDEO/MEMORY Switch is set to VIDEO.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Connect the AC Adapter securely ( pg. 9). Replace the dead battery with a fully charged one ( pg. 8, 9). Set the date/time ( pg. 11). Consult your nearest JVC dealer for replacement. Set the tapes erase protection tab to REC ( pg. 12). Set the Power Switch to AUTO or MANUAL ( pg. 17). Set the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch to VIDEO. Replace with new cassette ( pg. 12).
