Be sure to press only the section labeled 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.
Approximate recording time Recording mode Tape 30 min. 60 min. 80 min. SP 30 min. 60 min. 80 min. LP 45 min. 90 min. 120 min.
The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.
It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to open. Do not apply force. There may be a delay after you open the cassette holder cover until the cassette holder opens. Do not use 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. Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing 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 13 for information about recording from the middle of a tape.

Digital Dubbing is performed in the sound mode recorded on the original tape, regardless of the current SOUND MODE setting ( pg. 21). During Digital Dubbing, incoming signals cannot be output through the video or audio connectors if they are copy-guarded.
To Use This Camcorder As A Player
Make sure all units are turned off. Connect this camcorder to a video unit equipped with a DV input connector using a DV cable as shown in the illustration. Set this camcorders Power Switch 8 to while pressing down the Lock Button 0 located on the switch, turn on the video units power, and insert the appropriate cassettes in this camcorder and the video unit.
3 Press to play back the source tape. 4 While watching the playback on the monitor, engage
the DV connector-equipped video units record mode from the spot on the source tape you want to begin recording.
It is recommended to use the AC Adapter as the power supply instead of the battery pack ( pg. 7). If the remote control is used when both the player and recorder are JVC video units, both units will perform the same operation. To prevent this from happening, press the buttons on both units. If a blank portion or disturbed image is played back on the player during dubbing, the dubbing may stop so that an unusual image is not dubbed. Even though the DV cable is connected correctly, sometimes the image may not appear in step 4. If this occurs, turn off the power and make connections again. If Playback Zoom ( pg. 12, 28), Playback Special Effects ( pg. 28) or Snapshot is attempted during playback, only the original playback image recorded on the tape is output from the DV connector ^. When using a DV cable, be sure to use the optional JVC VC-VDV204U DV cable.

AUTOMATIC EDITING TO VCR

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.
11 Rewind the tape in the camcorder to the beginning
of the scene you want to edit and press PAUSE (6) ;. sensor and press VCR REC STBY (q6) S, or manually engage the VCRs Record-Pause mode.
12 Point the remote control towards the VCRs remote
Press START/STOP s 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.
DIAGNOSING VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING
1 Play back the tape in the camcorder, then point the
remote control at the camcorders remote sensor and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF A. The Random Assemble Editing Menu appears.
2 Perform Random Assemble Editing on Programme 1
only. In order to check VCR and camcorder timing, select the beginning of a scene transition as your EditIn point.
14 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 A on the remote control.
3 Play 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 RecordPause to Record mode. If the scene you tried to dub starts in progress, the VCR is slow to start recording.

Pressing R.A.EDIT ON/OFF A on the remote control clears all settings registered during Random Assemble Editing. When the editing cable is connected to the remote controls Pause In connector during dubbing, make sure the remote control is pointed at the VCRs 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 ( pg. 13).
ADJUSTMENT OF VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING

6 Based on the diagnostics performed, you can now
advance the VCRs record timing by pressing + 3. You can also delay the VCRs record timing by pressing 3. The adjustment range is from 1.3 to +1.3 seconds, in 0.1-second increments. Press SELECT/SET 1 to finish the setting.
7 Press + or 3 to to select

SELECT/SET 1 twice.

RETURN and press
Now perform Random Assemble Editing beginning with step 4 on page 31.
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.
32 USING THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

It is possible to do the following things:
Transfer still/moving images recorded on a tape to a PC. Capture still/moving images in real-time. Use this camcorder as a WebCam.

[A] Using USB cable

[B] Using DV cable
It is also possible to transfer still/moving images to a PC with a DV connector by using the provided software, software equipped with the PC or commercially available software.
Refer to SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND USB CONNECTION GUIDE for the installation of the bundled software and drivers. It is recommended to use the AC Adapter as the power supply instead of the battery pack ( pg. 7). Never connect the USB cable and the DV cable simultaneously to the camcorder. Connect only the cable you wish to use to the camcorder. If the PC connected to the camcorder via the USB cable is not powered, the camcorder does not enter the USB mode. The date/time information cannot be captured into the PC. Use the provided software PIXELA ImageMixer to capture video in real-time. You can also use the camcorder for webconference by using Windows Microsoft Netmeeting and signing up for Microsoft Hotmail. Refer to the instruction manuals of the PC and Software. The still images can also be transferred to a PC with a DV connector-equipped capture board. When using a DV cable, be sure to use the optional JVC VC-VDV206U or VC-VDV204U DV cable depending on the type of DV connector (4 or 6 pins) on the PC. The system may not work properly depending on the PC or capture board you are using. When using the DV connection refer to manufacturer instructions of your capture board for drivers installation and operation instructions.
