Before recording important video, be sure to 
make a trial recording.
Play back your trial recording to make sure the 
video and audio have been recorded properly.

 

 

We recommend cleaning your video heads before 
use.
If you haven’t used your 
camcorder for awhile, the 
heads may be dirty. We 
recommend periodically 
cleaning the video heads 
with a cleaning cassette 
(optional).

 

 

Be sure to store your 
cassette tapes and camcorder in the proper 
environment.
Video heads can become dirty more easily if your 
cassette tapes and camcorder are stored in a 
dusty area. Cassette tapes should be removed 
from the camcorder and stored in cassette cases. 
Store the camcorder in a bag or other container.

 

 

Use SP (Standard) mode for important video 
recordings.
LP (Long Play) mode lets you record 50% more 
video than SP (Standard) mode, but you may 
experience mosaic-like noise during playback 
depending on the tape characteristics and the 
usage environment.
So, for important recordings, we recommend 
using SP mode.

 

 

For safety and reliability.
It is recommended only genuine JVC batteries 
and accessories are used in this camcorder.

 

 

This product includes patented and other 
proprietary technology and will operate only with 
JVC Data Battery. Use the JVC BN-VF707U/
VF714U/VF733U battery packs. Using generic 
non-JVC batteries can cause damage to the 
internal charging circuitry.

 

 

This camcorder is designed exclusively for the 
digital video cassette, SD Memory Card and 
MultiMediaCard. Only cassettes marked “

” 

and memory cards marked “

” or 

” can be used with this unit.

 

 

Remember that this camcorder is intended for 
private consumer use only.
Any commercial use without proper permission is 
prohibited. (Even if you record an event such as a 
show, performance or exhibition for personal 
enjoyment, it is strongly recommended that you 
obtain permission beforehand.)

 

 

DO NOT leave the unit
-  in place of over 50°C (122°F)
-  in place where humidity is extremely low (below 

35%) or extremely high (80%).

-  in direct sunlight.
-  in a closed car in summer.
-  near a heater.

 

 

The LCD monitor is made with high-precision 
technology. However, black spots or bright spots 
of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly 
on the LCD monitor. These spots are not 
recorded on the tape. This is not due to any 
defect of the unit. (Effective dots: more than 
99.99%)

 

 

Do not leave the battery pack attached when the 
camcorder is not in use and check the unit 
regularly whether it is working or not.
