CAUTIONS:
● 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.
●
Use the JVC BN-V408U/V416U/V428U battery packs and, to recharge them or to supply power to the
camcorder from an AC outlet, use the provided multi-voltageAC Adapter and Power Cord. (An appropriate
conversion adapter may be necessary to accommodate different designs of AC outlets in different countries.)
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on 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).
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.
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
DO
read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
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.
consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DO
DO
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!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not point the lens or the viewfinder 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 fire 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 shoulder strap. Carrying or holding the
camcorder by the viewfinder and/or the LCD monitor can result in dropping the unit, or in a malfunction.
Take care not to get your finger 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 the unit on top of the TV is not
recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the camcorder to fall, resulting in damage.

TAPE RECORDING (cont.)
Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
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.
To perform Random Assemble Editing (੬ pg. 58 – 62), time code is necessary. 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” below 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.

SHUTTER
Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old
photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a
classic look.
1/50–The shutter speed is fixed at 1/50th of a
second. Black bands that usually appear when
shooting a TV screen become narrower.
1/120–The shutter speed is fixed at 1/120th of a
second. The flickering that occurs when shooting
under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapour lamp is
reduced.

Like black and white films, your footage is shot in
B/W. Used together with the Cinema mode, it
enhances the “classic film” effect.
SPORTS

darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter
function under good lighting conditions.
SNOW
Compensates for subjects that may otherwise
appear too dark when shooting in extremely bright
surroundings such as in the snow.
STROBE*
Your recording looks like a series of consecutive
snapshots.
SPOTLIGHT
Compensates for subjects that may otherwise
appear too bright when shooting under extremely
strong direct lighting such as spotlights.
SLOW (Slow Shutter) (GR-DVL367/DVL365/

Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than
they would be under good natural lighting. Use
“SLOW” only in dark areas.
NOTE:
“SPOTLIGHT” has the same effect as –3 with the

SLOW 4X
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity to allow
shooting in dark environments.
SLOW 10X
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity further to allow
shooting in even darker environments.

subject

subject
FEATURE: Auto Focus
PURPOSE:
The camcorder’s Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up (as close as approx.
5 cm to the subject) 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 brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-colour 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.
* The following low-contrast warnings appear blinking:
,
,
and
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 may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This
will not occur when “TELE MACRO” (੬ pg. 48) is activated.
FEATURE: Manual Focus
PURPOSE:
To obtain correct focus.
OPERATION:
1) If you are using the viewfinder, you should already have made the necessary viewfinder adjustments
(੬ pg. 10).
2) Set the Power Switch to “ MANUAL ” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then press

If FOCUS is pressed once, the camcorder will enter the focus adjustment mode again.
NOTES:
● Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum telephoto position when you use the Manual Focus mode. If you focus in
on a subject in the wide-angle position, sharply focused images cannot be obtained when zoomed up because the
depth-of-field is reduced at longer focal lengths.
● When the focus level cannot be adjusted any further or closer, “ ” or “ ” will blink.

• When the distance to the subject changes (so its
size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder changes),
such as when the subject is backing away.
• When shooting on a reflective natural background
such as at the beach or when skiing.
• When shooting objects under a spotlight.
• When zooming.
When the subject is close, keep the iris locked. Even

In such a case, adjust focus manually (੬ pg. 43).
● 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.

For More Accurate Editing
Some VCRs make the transition from Record-Pause
to Record mode faster than others. Even if you begin
editing for the camcorder and the VCR at exactly the
same time, you may lose scenes you wanted, or find
that you have recorded scenes you did not want. For
a cleanly edited tape, confirm and adjust the timing of
the camcorder against your VCR.

❍ Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.
❍ Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of

About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short
circuit and possibly start a fire.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold
temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place
the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the
camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

Serious malfunctioning
How to handle a CD-ROM
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.
• Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface
(opposite to the printed surface). Do not write
anything or put a sticker on either the front or back
surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently wipe it with
a soft cloth outward from the centre hole using a
circular motion.
• Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning
spray.
• Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror
surface.
• Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or humid
environment. Keep it away from direct sunlight.
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
wait a few minutes and then re-connect it and
proceed as usual from the beginning.
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.
