ABOUT DV

The digital camcorder converts incoming audio and video signals into digital form for recording.

A video signal is composed of a luminance signal (Y) and colour signals (R-Y and B-Y). These signals are

identified and recorded digitally (Digital Component Recording). The A/D (Analogue to Digital) converter

samples the Y signal at 13.5 MHz, and R-Y and B-Y at 6.75 MHz, and changes them to an 8-bit quantum

signal.

Sound sampled at 48 kHz is changed to a 16-bit quantum signal, and sound sampled at 32 kHz is converted to

a 12-bit signal.

NOTE:

The data recorded on a tape is digital, but the output of this camcorder is analogue.

3Audio Area

The digital audio signal is recorded here.

4ITI (Insert and Tracking

Information) Area

Insert editing and post-recording editing

tracking signals are recorded here.

1Sub-Code Area

The Time Code and Date/Time data are

written here, separate from the video data.

This enables you to display the date and

time during playback, even if they weren’t

displayed while recording.

GETTING STARTED

Charge Marker

A charge marker is provided on the battery pack to

help you remember whether it has been charged or

not. Two colours are provided (red and black)—you

choose which one means charged and which means

discharged.

NOTES:

●

The recording time per charge is affected by such factors as the time spent in Record-Standby mode and the

frequency of zooming. It is safer to have spare battery packs.

●

Charging times noted on page 6 are for fully discharged battery pack, and discharging times are for fully

charged battery pack.

●

Charging and discharging times vary according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.

●

Remember to set the charge marker after charging a battery pack or after detaching a discharged one from

your camcorder.

●

Perform the REFRESH function after no less than 5 chargings.

●

While the AC Power Adapter/Charger’s power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet, it is possible to

discharge the battery by pressing the REFRESH switch. During that time, the AC Power Adapter/Charger does

not charge the battery. When disharging is complete, detach the battery from the AC Power Adapter/Charger

to store it.

●

High temperatures can damage the battery pack, so use only where good ventilation is available. Do not

allow it to discharge in container, such as a bag.

●

If you stop recharging or discharging part way through, make sure to remove the battery pack before

unplugging the adapter’s AC cord.

●

Remove the battery pack from the adapter immediately after discharging.

●

To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Power Adapter/Charger near a radio.

●

Make sure you unplug the DC cord before charging or discharging the battery pack.

●

The CHARGE indicator may not light properly with a brand new battery pack, or with one that has been

stored for an extended period. In this case, remove and reattach the battery pack and recharge it. The

CHARGE indicator should blink during recharging. If not, contact your nearest JVC dealer.

USING AC POWER
