Re: JVC GR - DVL300

I have this Error E04, Safeguard mode, reattach battery thing which i got no idea to fix. Can somebody e-mail me on how to best fix this irritating problem. Please out? I bought this in Australia but i am now in the outback in Afica -Botswana. I tried taking the camera around for service but still they could help. Get back to me with a good answer. I thought it could be because of dust in here but i had it cleaned and still the same problem. Again it would work for some seconds sometimes and return to the error message. Its hurting to lose capturing this once in lifetime adventure am currenting involved in. Please help!! PATRICK

  I have the sme problem though my cam is dvl108. I took the cam to service couple of times and it worked there always??? One quick fix I have found is that if you tap the cassette door gently the error is suddenly gone. Any help on this one is appreciated.

  Hi Patrick
  Had the same problems - I was told by technician to use only the JVC tapes - try to clean with a tape cleaner and then only use JVC tapes - they also replaced the flat cylinder - the JVC tapes compared to other makes use a differnt process and substances which will conflict therfore the E4 problems as the head gets dirty
  It worked fine for me - had no more problems. There is actually a site in Switzerland (foto & video club) explaining this all in detail - can't remember the url
  Cheers
