... allow it to become wet.
... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.
... subject it to shock or excessive vibration during
transportation.
... keep the lens directed at extremely bright
objects for long periods.
... expose the lens to direct sunlight.
... carry it by holding the LCD monitor.
... swing it excessively when using the hand strap
or the grip.
... swing the soft camcorder case excessively

• 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.
