ANTENNA INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
INSTALLATION
1. Grounding or Polarization
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
(A) Your product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
2. Lightning
For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
(B) Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire
grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding)
pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug.
3. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
2. Power Sources
Operate your product only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. If your product is intended
to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70
3. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

your camcorder.
● Perform the REFRESH function after no less than 5 chargings.
● High temperatures can damage the battery pack, so use only where good ventilation is available. Don’t
allow it to discharge in container, such as a bag.
● If you stop recharging or discharging part way through, make sure to remove the battery pack before
unplugging the adapter’s AC cord.
● Remove the battery pack from the adapter immediately after discharging.
● To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Power Adapter/Charger near a radio.
● Make sure you unplug the DC cord before charging or discharging the battery pack.
● A blinking CHG. indicator means that the battery pack has become hot. Wait until it cools down to
continue.
● The CHG. indicator may not light properly with a brand new battery pack, or with one that’s been stored
for an extended period. In this case, remove and reattach the battery pack and recharge it. The CHG.
indicator should light during recharging. If not, contact your nearest JVC dealer.

White Balance Adjustment
White balance mode indicator
This camcorder’s Automatic Color Temperature system
senses the color temperature of the ambient lighting for
automatic white balance adjustment. However, precise
color adjustment is not possible under the following
conditions:
No indication
(Auto)
•When an object is in various shades of the same color.
•When a predominantly red or brown object is being
shot outdoors.
MWB
In these cases, use the camcorder’s built-in preset filters
for white balance adjustment.
SELECT MODE
Press MWB (Manual White Balance) until the

unaffected by surroundings, even when there are
multiple subjects with different color temperatures.
ADJUST FOCUS
Point the camcorder at a white, flat object such as a

sheet of white paper, and adjust focus manually
(੬ pg. 21).
ADJUST WHITE BALANCE
Press MWB until ”MWB“ appears, then press and
hold MWB for more than 3 seconds.
•”MWB” blinks in the viewfinder during
adjustment, then stops blinking but stays lit when
adjustment is complete.
NOTES:
● To switch to automatic white balance adjustment, press MWB until the indication disappears, or turn the
PROGRAM AE dial to LOCK.
● Re-adjust the White Balance mode when the lighting has changed, when the camcorder has been turned
on and off again, or when the PROGRAM AE dial’s position has been changed.
● It is helpful to connect your camcorder to a color monitor when adjusting the white balance
(“BASIC CONNECTIONS” ੬ pg. 29).
● When adjusted by putting colored paper in front of the subject in step 2 , this unit makes its color
temperature standard for automatic white balance. So you can enjoy shooting with different colors. For
example, when adjusting with red, blue or yellow colors, the image becomes the color which aproximates
to green, orange or purple respectively.

DANGER:
General Battery Precautions
Video Light
•When the RM-V20U (remote control), C-P6U or
C-P7U (cassette adapter) are not functioning even
when correctly operated, the batteries are
exhausted. Replace them with fresh ones.
•Use only the following batteries:
RM-V20U ................................. AAA (R03) size
C-P6U or C-P7U ....................... AA (R6) size
• 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.
• When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm
(1 ft.) between the video light and people or object.
• Do not us e near flammable or explosive materials.
Please make note of the following rules for battery
use. When misused, batteries can leak or explode.
Serious malfunctioning
1. Refer to the RM-V20U and C-P6U/C-P7U
instructions when replacing batteries.
2. Do not use old and new batteries together.
3. Do not use two different kinds of batteries.
Although sizes may be the same, voltages may
differ.
4. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat as they
can leak or explode.
5. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
6. Remove batteries from the unit if it is to be stored
for an extended period to avoid battery leakage
which can cause malfunctions.
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.
When using the AC Power Adapter/Charger in
areas other than the USA
Ⅲ The provided AC Power Adapter/Charger features
automatic voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V
to 240 V.
USING HOUSEHOLD AC PLUG ADAPTER
In case of connecting the unit's power cord to an AC wall
outlet other than American National Standard C73 series
type use an AC plug adapter, called a "Siemens Plug", as
shown.
Battery Packs
For this AC plug adapter, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
The supplied battery pack is a
nickel-cadmium battery. Before
using the supplied battery pack or
an optional battery pack, be sure to
read the following cautions:
Plug adapter
INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
1. To avoid hazard . . .
...... do not burn.
Terminals
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Change or modifications not approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
...... do not short-circuit the terminals.
...... do not modify or disassemble.
...... use only specified chargers.
2. To prevent damage and prolong service
life . . .
...... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
...... avoid repeated charging without fully discharging.
...... charge in an environment where
temperatures are within the tolerances shown in the
chart below. This is a chemical reaction type
battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical
reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent
complete charging.
...... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to
high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
...... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.
...... remove from charger or powered unit when not in
use, as some machines use current even when
switched off.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
3. To prevent damage to the camcorder . . .
...... replace the battery pack when it begins to deliver
less recording time per charge.

CAUTIONS (cont.)
44
3. DO NOT leave the unit . . .
NOTE:
...... in places of over 50°C (122°F).
...... in places where humidity is extremely low (below
35%) or extremely high (above 80%).
...... in direct sunlight.
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging,
or after use.
Temperature Range Specifications
Charging .......................................... 10°C to 35°C
Operation ........................................ 0°C to 40°C
Storage ............................................. –10°C to 30°C
...... in a closed car in summer.
...... near a heater.
4. To protect the unit, DO NOT . . .
...... allow it to become wet.
...... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.
...... subject it to shock or excessive vibration during
transportation.
NOTES:
● Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.
● The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.
...... keep the lens directed at extremely bright objects
for long periods.
...... direct the eyepiece of the viewfinder at the sun.
...... carry it by holding the viewfinder.
...... swing it excessively when using the shoulder strap.
Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to
read the following cautions:
1. During use . . .
5. This camcorder features a built-in head
cleaner which automatically cleans the
heads and head drum when a cassette is
loaded or unloaded. If, however, the heads
become dirty and cause blurriness or
interruption in the playback picture,
consult your nearest JVC dealer.
...... make sure the cassette bears the VHS-C mark.
...... be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes
automatically erases the previously recorded
video and audio signals.
...... make sure the cassette is positioned properly when
inserting.
...... do not load and unload the cassette
repeatedly without allowing the tape to run at all.
This slackens the tape and can result in damage.
...... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes the
tape to fingerprints and dust.
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.
2. Store cassettes . . .
...... away from heaters or other heat sources.
...... out of direct sunlight.
...... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary shock
or vibration.
...... where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic
fields (such as those generated by motors,
transformers or magnets).
...... vertically, in their original cases.
Main Unit
1. For safety, DO NOT . . .
...... open the camcorder’s chassis.
...... disassemble or modify the unit.
...... short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack. Keep
it away from metallic objects when not in use.
...... allow inflammables, water or metallic objects to
enter the unit.
...... remove the battery pack or disconnect the power
supply while the power is on.
...... leave the battery pack attached when the
camcorder is not in use.
2. Avoid using the unit . . .
...... in places subject to excessive humidity or dust.
...... in places subject to soot or steam such as near a
cooking stove.
...... in places subject to excessive shock or vibration.
...... near a television set.
...... near appliances generating strong magnetic or
electric fields (speakers, broadcasting antennas,
etc.).
...... in places subject to extremely high (over 40°C or
104°F) or extremely low (under 0°C or 32°F)
temperatures.
