Dirty heads can cause the following
problems:
... No picture 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.
How To Handle A CD-ROM
●
Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface
(opposite to the printed surface). Do not write
anything or put a sticker on either the front or back
surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently wipe it
with a soft cloth outward from the centre hole.
●
Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning
spray.
●
Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror
surface.
●
Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or
humid environment. Keep it away from direct
sunlight.
Serious malfunctioning
About moisture condensation
●
You have observed that pouring a cold liquid into
a glass will cause drops of water to form on the
glass’ outer surface. This same phenomenon
occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it
is moved from a cool place to a warm place,
after heating a cold room, under extremely
humid conditions or in a place directly subjected
to the cool air from an air conditioner.
●
Moisture on the head drum can cause severe
damage to the video tape, and can lead to
internal damage to the camcorder itself.
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local 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.
Appears if condensation occurs. When this
indication is displayed, wait more than 1 hour
until condensation disappears.
