Re: JVC GR - DVL300

Hi Everyone! I was Having problems with my JVS GR-SXM730 Camcorder as well. I was getting the error message about the Unit Being In Safe Guard Mode. I removed the battery from the camcorder, disconnected the power supply from the unit, and switched it to the OFF position and let the camcorder sit for about 5 minutes. I then reattached the battery, plugged the dc cord back into the camera and let the battery charge for about 10 minutes. I then moved the indicator to the PLAY position while at the same time holding the eject button. The unit ejected the tape inside. I pulled the tape out, then shut the cassette door and the error message went away and I am able to use my camcorder once again. I hope this works for everyone else that is having this error message pop up on their camcorders. Worked for me :) Try it out
