When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on  
CAUTIONS:  
a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all  
sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on  
both sides, on top and at the rear).  
Ⅲ This camcorder is designed to be used with  
PAL-type colour television signals. It cannot be  
used for playback with a television of a different  
standard. However, live recording and LCD  
monitor*/viewfinder playback are possible  
anywhere.  
Do not block the ventilation holes.  
(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper,  
or cloth etc. heat may not be able to get out.)  
Ⅲ Use the JVC BN-V11U**/V12U/V20U/V400U  
battery packs and, to recharge them or to supply  
power to the camcorder from an AC outlet, use  
the provided multi-voltage AC Adapter and Power  
Cord.  
(An appropriate conversion adapter may be  
necessary to accommodate different designs of  
AC outlets in different countries.)  
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,  
should be placed on the apparatus.  
When discarding batteries, environmental problems  
must be considered and local rules or laws  
governing the disposal of these batteries must be  
followed strictly.  
* Models equipped with LCD monitor only.  
**GR-FXM37/FX12 only.  
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 filled with water or  
liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower  
vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit.  
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this  
equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)  
SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE  
USE OF EQUIPMENT  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any  
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections  
between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  
Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.  
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.  
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in  
any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for  
unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make  
sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or  
handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of road  
safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will  
cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the  
manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case  
— this could result in a fatal electrical shock;  
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

REFRESH:  
Charging a battery with some charge remaining reduces that battery’s capacity. Perform the procedure  
below to fully discharge the battery pack before recharging.  
1. Perform steps 1 through 3 of “CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK”.  
2. Press REFRESH on the camcorder for over 2 seconds. The REFRESH lamp on the camcorder blinks to  
indicate discharging has started.  
3. When discharging is finished, charging automatically starts and the CHARGE lamp blinks.  
When you are not using a battery pack for a long period of time, be sure to fully discharge it before storing  
because leaving a battery with some charge left over also reduces performance.

NOTES about S-VHS and S-VHS ET  
Ⅲ JVC EHG (Extra High Grade) tapes are recommended for superior results.  
Use S-VHS tape for storing recordings for an extended period or for recording important scenes, as it  
enables higher-quality recording and playback.  
— It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from  
regular VHS recordings.  
Ⅲ With some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is  
recommended that you do test record beforehand to make sure whether better results can be obtained.  
Ⅲ If the S-VHS ET mode or recording format is switched during recording, the playback picture will be  
blurred at the switching point.  
Ⅲ It is recommended that tapes recorded on this camcorder be played back on this camcorder.  
Ⅲ Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode can be played back not only on this camcorder but also on  
a Super VHS VCR.  
— Tapes recorded in S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back on some VCRs, including some JVC VCRs.  
Ⅲ Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back correctly on a normal VHS VCR.  
Ⅲ S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.  
Ⅲ To avoid on-screen noise, do not perform Still Playback or Shuttle Search repeatedly.  
Ⅲ If the picture contains a lot of jitter or noise, use a cleaning cassette.

patterns that are regularly repeated.  
•When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light  
reflecting off the surface of a body of water.  
•When shooting a scene with a high-contrast background.  
NOTES:  
● If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate  
focusing is not possible. Keep the lens clean,  
wiping with a piece of soft cloth if it gets  
dirty. When condensation occurs, wipe with  
a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally.  
● When shooting a subject close to the lens,  
zoom out first (੬ pg. 16). If zoomed in in  
the auto focus mode, the camcorder could  
automatically zoom out depending on the  
distance between the camcorder and the  
subject. This does not occur with “TELE

White Balance Adjustment  
Manual White Balance Operation  
A term that refers to the correctness of colour  
reproduction under various lighting. If the white  
balance is correct, all other colors will be accurately  
reproduced.  
Perform Manual White Balance when shooting under  
various types of lighting.  
Follow steps 1 through 4 of the white balance

adjustment, and select “MWB”.  
The white balance is usually adjusted automatically.  
However, more advanced camcorder operators  
control this function manually to achieve a more  
professional colour/tint reproduction.  
Hold a sheet of plain white paper in front of the  
subject. Adjust zoom or position yourself so that  
the white paper fills the screen.  
Set the Power Switch to “ ”.

NOTES:  
● In step 2, it may be difficult to focus on the white  
paper. In such a case, adjust focus manually  
(੬ pg. 28).  
● A subject can be shot under various types of  
lighting conditions indoors (natural, flourescent,  
candlelight, etc.). Because the colour temperature  
is different depending on the light source, the  
subject tint will differ depending on the white  
balance settings. Use this function for a more  
natural result.  
● Once you adjust white balance manually, the  
setting is retained even if the power is turned off or  
the battery removed.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
36  
EN  
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.  
SYMPTOM  
POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)  
POWER  
No power is supplied.  
● The battery pack has not been attached correctly (੬ pg. 6).  
● The battery pack is not charged (੬ pg. 6).  
● The power supply has not been correctly connected  
(੬ pg. 6, 7).  
The power suddenly goes off and  
does not come back on by itself.  
● The battery pack has completely discharged.  
● Remove the cassette and disconnect the power source, then  
after a few minutes, try turning the power back on. If it still  
does not come on, consult your nearest JVC dealer.  
RECORDING  
Recording cannot be performed.  
● Make sure the Erase Protection tab is in the position that  
allows recording. If not, slide the tab. Some cassettes have  
removable tabs. If the tab has been removed, cover the  
hole with adhesive tape (੬ pg. 13).  
Recording does not start.  
● The camcorder Power Switch has not been set to “ ” or  
“
” (੬ pg. 14).  
Animation or Time-Lapse is not  
available.  
● Before recording in the Animation mode at the very  
beginning of a tape, set the camcorder to the Recording  
mode for about 5 seconds, so that the tape runs smoothly.  
Using the Fade-in function at this point is a good way to  
begin an animated programme (੬ pg. 26).  
PLAYBACK  
The tape is running, but there is no  
playback picture.  
● The TV has not been set to its VIDEO mode or channel.  
● If A/V connection is used, the TV’s VIDEO/TV Switch has  
not been set to VIDEO.  
Playback picture is blurred or  
interrupted.  
● The video heads are dirty or worn out. Consult your nearest  
JVC dealer for head cleaning or replacement.  
The counter indication is blurred  
during Still playback.  
● This is normal.  
TAPE TRANSPORT  
The tape stops during fast-forward or  
rewind.  
● The Counter Memory Function has been activated  
(੬ pg. 31).  
Rewinding or fast-forwarding cannot  
be performed.  
● The tape is already fully wound on one reel or the other.

SYMPTOM  
POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)  
OTHER  
During recording, the indications do  
not appear.  
● Set “DISPLAY” to “FULL” in SYSTEM MENU (੬ pg. 24).  
The tape will not eject.  
● The battery pack is running low.  
● If the LCD monitor is not open over 60 degrees, the EJECT  
Switch does not function.  
Some functions are not available.  
● The Power Switch is set to “ ”.  
● Certain combinations of modes or effects are not possible  
to use.  
Vertical white lines appear when  
shooting a very bright object.  
● This sometimes occurs when the contrast between the  
background and the object is great. It is not a defect of the  
camcorder.  
Bright, crystal-shaped spots appear in  
the LCD monitor and the viewfinder.  
● Sunlight is directly entering the lens. This is not a defect of  
the camcorder.  
The rear of the LCD monitor is hot.  
● The light used to illuminate the LCD monitor causes it to be  
hot. Close the LCD monitor to turn it off or set the Power  
Switch to “OFF”, and let the unit cool down.  
Coloured bright spots appear all over  
the LCD monitor or the viewfinder.  
● The LCD monitor and the viewfinder are made with high-  
precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots  
of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly on the  
LCD monitor or in the viewfinder. These spots are not  
recorded on the tape. This is not due to any defect of the  
unit. (Effective dots: more than 99.99 %.)  
The indicators and the picture colour  
on the LCD monitor are not clear.  
● This may occur when the surface or the edge of the LCD  
monitor is pressed.  
The LCD monitor, the viewfinder and  
the lens have become dirty  
(ex. fingerprints).  
● Wipe them gently with a soft cloth. Gently wipe in a  
semicircular motion, as wiping strongly spreads the stain  
and it won’t come out easily.  
An error number (i.e. E03) appears.  
● Turn the camcorder’s power off, then disconnect the power  
source. After a few minutes, try turning the power on again.  
If the error number still appears in the viewfinder, consult  
your nearest JVC dealer.  
The image is out of focus.  
● The dioptre needs to be adjusted (੬ pg. 8).  
● The scene being shot is adversely affecting the operation of  
Auto Focus (੬ pg. 28).  
The date and time displays  
disappear.  
● If you remove the power source from the camcorder while  
the power is on, all settings and selections are erased. Make  
sure to turn the camcorder’s power off before disconnecting  
the power source.  
The wrong date and time are  
displayed/recorded.  
● If you have not performed Date/Time Setting (੬ pg. 9), the  
date and time are not displayed/recorded correctly. Be sure  
that Date/Time setting is carried out.  
Even though the lens cap is detached,  
the “LENS CAP” warning indicator  
(੬ pg. 45) blinks.  
● The “LENS CAP” warning indicator may blink when the  
camcorder is used in dark areas, regardless of whether the  
lens cap is attached or detached.

Before using the supplied battery pack  
or an optional battery pack, be sure to  
read the following cautions:  
DANGER:  
•The video light becomes extremely hot. Do not  
touch it either while in operation or soon after  
turning it off, otherwise serious injury may result.  
•Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case  
immediately after using the video light, since it  
remains extremely hot for some time.  
•When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm  
between the video light and people or object.  
•Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.  
•It is recommended that you consult your nearest  
JVC dealer for replacing the video light.

damage to the video tape, and can lead to  
internal damage to the camcorder itself.
