5. Dirty heads can cause the folowing
problems:
• No picture during
playback.
• Blocks of noise appear
during playback.
• During recording, the
Head Clog Warning
indicator “ ” appears in the viewfinder.
In such cases, use the optional Cleaning Cassette
M-DV2CL. Insert it and play back for approxi-
mately 20 seconds. After this time the camcorder
stops automatically. If the cassette is used more
than once consecutively, damage to the video
heads may result.
If, after using the Cleaning Cassette, the
problems still exist, consult your nearest JVC
dealer.
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.
Serious malfunctioning
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 Power Adapter/Battery Charger, etc.) and
clock battery; and then re-connect it and
proceed as usual from the beginning.
