TROUBLESHOOTING
If, after following the steps in the chart below, the problem still exists, please consult your 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 then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.

removable tabs. If the tab has been removed, cover the
hole with adhesive tape (

Before recording in the Animation mode at the very
beginning of a tape, set the camcorder to the Recording

begin an animated programme (
pg. 26).
