SOURCE: safeguard mode
My camera is on unit in safeguard mode and it says eject and reinstall tape! What do you suggest??
SOURCE: E04
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. 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

I MADE MINE WORK!!!! With the camera off, I pressed and held the "play" button while I powered it on into playback mode. It actually let me watch the tape. I switched it to "REC" mode and still got the error. So I switched it off, pushed and held the rec button while powering it on... IT WORKED. Now I can power it on and off with no more error messages (so far)! Let me know if this works for you too!
