JVC GR-D290 GR-D270 problem regarding cassette playing

Hello,

after inserting cassette when I am attempting to put it ON
it gives me error on screen saying "Unit in Safeguard Mode, Eject & Reinsert Tape" with 04 number.
probably error code.

could you pls offer me some kind of solution for this ?
and also any reliable location in India where I can get accessories for my camcorder ?
I need head cleaner and battery set for my camcorder... pls help me out.

Hoping to listen from you...

Thanking you,

chopper, as you didn't give the code number there can be many things that cause safe guard mode.
in addition to what kala said, recurring false condensation mode is very common, this requires the camcorder to be opened up & the memory
battery disconnected normally for a few minutes, sometimes it can take an hour or more.
there are also a number of problems with the drive mechanism or tape that can cause it to go into safe guard mode.

there have been a number of problems with JVC camcorders.

with the number of problems they have & what JVC charges for repairs, for your next camcorder purchase, i would stay away from anything made by JVC.

1. The drum cannot be started or drum rotation is stopped
because tape transport load is too high.
1) Tape tension is extremely high.
2) The tape is damaged or soiled with grease, etc.
2. The DRUM FG signal is not received by the syscon
CPU.
1) Disconnection in the middle of the signal line.
2) Failure of the DRUM FG pulse generator (hall element).
3. No drum control voltage is supplied to the MDA.
4. No power is supplied to the DRUM MDA.
