This camcorder is designed to be used with NTSC-type color 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. Use the BN-V11U/V12U/V20U battery packs and, to recharge them, the

provided multi-voltage AC Power Adapter/Charger. (An appropriate conversion adapter may be necessary

to accommodate different designs of AC outlets in different countries.)

The EPA certified RBRC^®Battery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates JVC is

voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their

useful life, when taken out of service in the United States. The RBRC^®program provides a convenient

alternative to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be

illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY™ for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and

disposal bans/restrictions in your area. JVC’s involvement in this program is part of our commitment to

preserving our environment and conserving our natural resources.

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that is has sufficient 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 flame 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.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

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.

INSTALLATION

1. Grounding or Polarization

(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.

(B) Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire

grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (ground-

ing) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type

power outlet. This is a safety feature.

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.

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.

Charge Marker

Charge marker

A charge marker is provided on the battery pack to help

you remember whether it has been charged or not. Two

colors are provided (red and black)—you choose which

one means charged and which means discharged.

NOTES:

● Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°

and 35°C (50°F and 95°F). 20° to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) is

the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environ-

ment is too cold, charging may be incomplete.

● Charging times noted above are for a fully discharged

battery pack.

● Charging time varies according to the ambient

temperature and the status of the battery pack.

● To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC

Power Adapter/Charger near a radio.

● If you connect the camcorder’s DC cord to the adapter

during battery charging, power is supplied to the

camcorder and charging stops.

● Since the AC Power Adapter/Charger processes

electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be

sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.

● When charging the battery pack for the first time or after

a long storage period, the CHARGE indicator may not

light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the AC

Power Adapter/Charger, then try charging again.

● If the battery operation time remains extremely short

even after having been fully charged, the battery is worn

out and needs to be replaced. Please purchase a new

one.

ATTENTION:

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. Attach the battery pack to the camcorder

and make sure a cassette is not inserted,

then set the Power Switch to ”AUTO” or

”PRO.”.

2. The camcorder power turns off

automatically when discharging is

complete.

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.

● Remember to set the charge marker after charging a

battery pack or after detaching a discharged one from

your camcorder.

GETTING STARTED (cont.)

NOTES about S-VHS and S-VHS ET (GR-SXM320/SX851 only)

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.

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 in the SP mode on this camcorder be played back on this

camcorder.

Ⅲ Noise may appear on-screen when tapes recorded in the EP mode are played back.

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 or a VCR equipped with the SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function.

— When tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode are played back on a VCR equipped with the

SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function, S-VHS picture quality is not available.

— Tapes recorded in S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back on some VCRs, including some JVC VCRs

(eg: HR-S6600U, HR-SC1000U, etc.).

Ⅲ Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back correctly on a normal VHS VCR.

Ⅲ You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this VCR but also on another VHS VCR equipped

with S-VHS ET.

— It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from

regular VHS recordings.

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.

the LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off automatically to save power (GR-SXM320 only).

● The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.

● There may be a delay after you slide EJECT until the cassette holder opens. Do not use force.

● The time required to calculate the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary

according to the type of tape used.

● The tape remaining time indicator is correct only if the correct tape length has been selected (੬ pg. 12).

● “TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off automatically if left in this

condition for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette whose tape is already at its end is loaded.

● If the Record-Standby mode continues for 5 minutes without performing Zoom or any other operations, the

camcorder’s power shuts off automatically. Set the Power Switch to “OFF”, and then back to “CAMERA” to

turn the camcorder on again.

● If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the Record-Standby mode has continued for over 5 minutes,

recording may not start immediately.

● If you are recording on a cassette from the middle (such as when a tape is removed and re-inserted during

recording), use the Retake function (੬ pg. 19) to find the end of the last recording so you do not erase any

of it.

● While shooting, sound is not heard from the speaker (GR-SXM320 only).

JOURNALISTIC SHOOTING (GR-SXM320

Focusing

AUTO FOCUS

The camcorder’s Full Range AF system offers continuous

shooting ability from close-up to infinity. However, correct

focus may not be obtainable in the situations listed below

(in these cases use manual focusing):

•When two subjects overlap in the same scene.

•When illumination is low.*

•When the subject has no contrast (difference in bright-

ness and darkness), such as a flat, one-color wall, or a

clear, blue sky.*

•When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.*

•When the scene contains minute patterns or identical

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. 18). 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

● Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum telephoto position when you use the Manual Focus mode. If you

focus in on a certain subject in the wide-angle position, sharply focused images cannot be obtained when

zoomed in because the depth-of-field is reduced at longer focal lengths.

● When the focus level cannot be adjusted any farther or closer, “ ” or “ ” will blink.

(੬ pg. 8).

● The battery pack is not charged (੬ pg. 8).

● The power supply has not been correctly connected

(੬ pg. 9).

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. 10).

Recording does not start.

● The camcorder Power Switch has not been set to

“CAMERA” (“AUTO“ or “PRO“.) (੬ pg. 16).

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 program (੬ pg. 27, 37).

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. 32).

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.

● Press DISPLAY for longer than 1 second to make the

indications appear (੬ pg. 17).

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 “AUTO”.

● 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.

Colored 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 color

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.

The picture is blurred in the Quick

Review or Retake mode.

● This is normal while recording in the EP mode. Some noise

may be present while recording in the SP mode (੬ pg. 12).

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 diopter needs to be adjusted (੬ pg. 15).

● The scene being shot is adversely affecting the operation of

Auto Focus (੬ pg. 29).

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. 11),

the date and time are not displayed/recorded correctly. Be

sure that Date/Time setting is carried out.

Even though the lens cover is open,

the Lens Cover Warning indicator

blinks.

● The Lens Cover Warning indicator may blink when the

camcorder is used in dark areas, regardless of the position

of the lens cover.

Battery Packs

Cassettes

The battery packs are nickel-cadmium

or nickel metal-hydride batteries.

Before using the supplied battery pack

or an optional battery pack, be sure to

read the following cautions:

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to

read the following cautions:

1. During use . . .

... 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.

1. To avoid hazard . . .

... do not burn.

... do not short-circuit the terminals.

... do not modify or disassemble.

... use only specified chargers.

... 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.

Terminals

2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

... avoid repeated charging without fully discharg-

ing.

... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes

the tape to fingerprints and dust.

... 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.

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.

... 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.

... where they won’t be exposed to strong

magnetic fields (such as those generated by

motors, transformers or magnets).

... vertically, in their original cases.

NOTES:

●It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after

charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications

Charging .............. 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)

Operation ............ 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)

Storage ................ –10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F)

● Recharging time is based on room temperature of

20°C (68°F.)

● The lower the temperature, the longer recharging

takes.

LCD Monitor

1. For safety, DO NOT . . .

1. To prevent damage to the LCD monitor,

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.

... push it strongly or apply any shocks.

... place the camcorder with the LCD monitor on

the bottom.

2. To prolong service life . . .

... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

3. Be aware of the following phenomena for LCD

monitor use. These are not malfunctions:

•While using the camcorder, the surface around the

LCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD monitor

may heat up.

around the LCD monitor becomes hot.

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.

About moisture condensation . . .

... near a television set.

● You may 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.

... 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.

3. DO NOT leave the unit . . .

... 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.

● Moisture on the head drum can cause severe

damage to the video tape, and can lead to

internal damage to the camcorder itself.

... in a closed car in summer.

... near a heater.

Serious malfunctioning

4. To protect the unit, DO NOT . . .

... allow it to become wet.

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit

immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.

... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.

... subject it to shock or excessive vibration during

transportation.

... 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 or the LCD

monitor. Be sure to hold the main unit with

both hands or use the grip.

... swing it excessively when using the shoulder

strap.
