INSTRUCTIONS

Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing this digital video camera. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions contained in the pages 2 ??? 4 and 10 to ensure safe use of this product.

To deactivate the demonstration, set ???DEMO MODE??? to ???OFF???. ( pg. 22, 25)

LYT1515-001A EN

???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.

???Make sure you only use cassettes with the Mini DV mark

???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.

4 EN

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has suf???cient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm (3???15/16") or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).

Do not block the ventilation holes.

(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)

No naked ???ame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water.

Also do not place any containers ???lled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, ???ower vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, ???re or electric shock may be caused.)

Do not point the lens or the view???nder directly into the sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well as lead to the malfunctioning of internal circuitry. There is also a risk of ???re or electric shock.

CAUTION!

The following notes concern possible physical damage to the camcorder and to the user.

When carrying, be sure to always securely attach and use the provided strap. Carrying or holding the camcorder by the view???nder and/or the LCD monitor can result in dropping the unit, or in a malfunction.

Take care not to get your ???nger caught in the cassette holder cover. Do not let children operate the camcorder, as they are particularly susceptible to this type of injury.

Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel surfaces. It could tip over, causing serious damage to the camcorder.

CAUTION!

Connecting cables (Audio/Video, S-Video, etc.) to the camcorder and leaving it on top of the TV is not recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the camcorder to fall, resulting in damage.

???Zooming is possible to a maximum of 800X, or it can be switched to 32X magni???cation using the optical zoom. ( pg. 23)

???Zoom magni???cation of over 32X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.

???During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.

???Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to ???W???. Also see ???TELE MACRO??? in FUNCTION Menu on page 23.

???When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out ???rst. If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This will not occur when ???TELE MACRO??? is set to ???ON???. ( pg. 23)

In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270?? (90?? downward, 180?? upward).

Quick Review

Enables to check the end of the last recording.

1)Press QUICK REVIEW during the Recording- Standby mode.

2)Tape is rewound for about several seconds and played back automatically, then pauses in the Recording-Standby mode for the next shot.

??? Distortion may occur at start of playback. This is normal.

Recording From The Middle Of A Tape

1) Play back a tape or use Blank Search

( pg. 20) to ???nd the spot at which you want to start recording, then engage the Still Playback mode. ( pg. 20)

2) Set the Power Switch to ???REC??? while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then start recording.

RECORDING & PLAYBACK

* Frames are not displayed during recording.

If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from ???00:00:00??? (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from ???00:00:00???. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform Recording From The Middle Of A Tape ( pg. 19) in the following cases;

???When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape.

???When power shuts off during shooting.

???When a tape is removed and re-inserted during shooting.

???When shooting using a partially recorded tape.

???When shooting on a blank portion located partway through the tape.

???When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.

White Balance Adjustment

The white balance refers to the correctness of color reproduction under various lighting. If the white balance is correct, all other colors will be accurately reproduced.

The white balance is usually adjusted automatically. However, more advanced camcorder operators control this function manually to achieve a more professional color/ tint reproduction.
