hi, weve recently bought a JVC camcorder in a UK airport before travelling, weve had it 3weeks now. we were watching playback footage that weve filmed on the tapes bought with it, for about 20minutes, the battery died and then we charged it with the DC charger which came with it. we went to it a few hours later tried to watch the rest, to get it to the correct spot for filming more, and it now displays... unit in safegaurd mode, please remove battery or DC adapter and replace, error code 06... weve tried this several times, weve left the battery out and tried hours later, tried the DC- the lot. unfortunately it still shows the same, and is chewing up tapes if one is left in when we switch it on. Were in South Africa near Durban for a few weeks and cant find anywere to assist us and would love to record our visit. please can you help us in anyway? yours hopefully Nikki Brooks UK

Can you tell me what an EO4 message code means in a JVC Gr-ax55 camcorder? thanks jeff

I have a JVC GR D40 camcorder. I went to use it the other day and it was saying that the lens cap was on even though it wasnt. The only thing I see through the view finder is a blank screen. Do you know what the problem could be? Thanks Ruth

I have a JVC GR DVL505 and the unit starts in the safeguard mode with an EO1 error message. Removing the battery and reattaching does not help. I also tried to run it on AC using the charger and get the same messages. Please help me. Thanks in advance, Jim

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISMANTLE OR USE ANY CLEANING SOLUTIONS INSIDE ANY JVC UNIT! If the device displays a Condensation error: 1. Open the tape compartment 2. Remove the tape 3. Keep the power ON (important) - if you do not the device "memory" will NOT clear itself 4. Wait approximately 5-10 min for the message to clear Read more below - the manufacturer is well aware of this condition and has designed these units to be "highly sensitive" to moisture build up. ============================================================================ If this device has been cooled down in a cold place and is then carried to a warm place, the moisture contained in the warm air may adhere to the head drum or tape guides and be cooled into water droplets. This phenomenon is referred to as condensation (dew). When this occurs, the head drum and tape guides are covered with droplets allowing the tape to be stuck to them, leading to tape damage. • Condensation occurs in the following cases: • When this device is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place. • When a room heater has just started or when this device is exposed directly to cold air from an air conditioner. • When this device is placed in a very humid place. • “CONDENSATION ON DRUM” is displayed on the LCD monitor and in the viewfinder when condensation occurs in this device. Keep the power on until the warning message disappears. If the power is turned off while the warning message is displayed, condensation may remain in the device even if the warning message is not displayed. Wait until this device is completely dry before using. • Pay attention to condensation even before the condensation indication appears. As condensation forms gradually, the condensation indication may not appear for the first 10-15 minutes after condensation has formed inside. In an extremely cold place, the condensation could freeze and turn into frost. In such a case, it takes an additional 2- 3 hours for the frost to first melt into condensation and then to be dissolved. • To prevent condensation When moving this device from one place to another where the temperatures are greatly deferent, first remove the videocassette, place this device in a tightly sealed vinyl bag, and then move it to a new environment. To ensure no condensation occurs, allow the temperature of this device in the bag to reach that of the new environment before using it.

I have a JVC GR-DVL505 Video Camera and I\'m getting a E04 "Unit in Safeguard Mode - Remove and Reattach Battery"

Hi My name is minoo, from Romania and yes, is related to this site: http://www.pechorin.com/m/2004/01/22/JVC_error_codes_assistance-208527.html I have a JVC GR DVP1 which is basically perfect but each time I try to play/record there's an E03 message showing. Now some other forums reccommend to clean the capstan very careful with a dip of alcohol and a cotton stick. Anyway, before doing anything I would like to hear some opinions... thanks for your time! minoo PS we don't have an official JVC service in Romania, just a franchise which is bad...
