Re: E04 Unit in safeguard mode

Steve Posted Feb 11, 2005, in response to:Perry

Here's what i found. I was able to clear the message by opening and closing and ejecting the cassette. I also had to play with the battery at the same time. Keeping the cassette door open and then pulling out the battery. After is did this a couple of times i got the message to clear. I too haven't used my camcorder for some time and now that the error message has cleared the camcorder tells me that i need to clean the heads. Hope this helps. Below is the message i found that pointed me toward ejecting the cassette. Good Luck, i'm off to buy a tape head cleaning cassette. An error indication (E03 or E04) appears. - (E03 or E04 UNIT IN SAFEGUARD MODE REMOVE AND REATTACH BATTERY) This massage a malfunction of some kind has occurred. In this case the camcorder's functions become unusable. - Eject the cassette once and re-insert it, then check if the indication clears. When it does, you can resume using the camcorder. If the indication remains, consult your nearest JVC dealer or service center

    To Steve and others - I tried Steve's suggestion and it worked. It appears that the tape I was using may have created a jam in the camcorder. I took the tape out and opened and closed the tape compartment several times before putting the tape back in. The Safeguard message went away and the camera appears to be working fine, Before trying this I was ready to scrap the JCV camera and go buy a SONY. Thanks for the Tip!!!

    It worked for me also. I bought a new battery, and got the same message. Ejecting the tape reveled it had looped up a little. I had to remove the battery before it would allow the tape to be re-inserted, but it worked. Thanks for the heads up!

    Seems to work for me too. I have a DVM90 - I'll repost if the error ever comes back. Thanks for posting this fix. Paul

    Thank you for posting your solution! We were so frustrated missing our kids and kitties on tape. Your solution worked the first time I tried it! You are awesome!
