Re: JVC GR - DVL300

I saw this, did it and it worked. Good Luck

I have a GR-DVM90, this past september, I got the good old E 01 error message which I have become quite familiar. This time, however, it would not clear or go away. I have been dreading sending the thing to the nearest JVC Service Center, in Philly, because they want $75 just to look at the thing. I put it off till now, since I need to use it soon. I did a search on the internet and came u with these message boards. One of the messages said to tap the camera on the side where the tape goes in. They said it worked. I thought it was BS. Then I did it. I tapped, and the thing came to life. I about fell on the floor. Go figure. I hear tell it starts with using the cheaper DV tapes, like TDK. I don't know for sure about that, but I think I'll go out and buy some good old fashioned expensive JVC tapes. I figure I've got about three hundred bucks till I run out what I would have spent sending it to the service center...... -- Jeffrey S. Wettig (drdkdover@supernet.com), February 14, 2003.
