Dose it have memory. can it record with out a tape?

You will need a Mini DV tape to record videos. The memory card can only record snapshots. When you rotate the LCD panel away from the body of the camera, you will see some controls. On the left of the second row, there is a switch. Set it to Memory to record to the memory card. Set the switch to Video to record to the tape.

I'm not sure how to change the language. There are no language options for the GR-D70.

The manual for the JVC GR-D70 is available here: http://www.jvc.co.uk/files/instruction_manual/lyt1145-001a.pdf . I believe that the GR-D70K will work the same way.

I hope this helps.

TPS = Tape Program Sensor
It finds silent gaps between songs while rewinding or fast-forwarding of cassette-tape in play mode.

have you tried recording the radio? It is a possibility that the tape player dose not have the proper head inside of it to record to tapes.

It all depends what the camera offers in its recording menu.

If there is an option, set it to record in MPEG4 format. This compresses the data file, giving the impression of more space on your camera memory.

Since the JVC GR-D740EK is a european miniDV camcorder with no embedded memory nor memory card slot, I would assume that your talking about erasing or recording over your miniDV tapes. You can simply do so by sliding the the erase protection tab on your miniDV tape towards "record" and you can begin to record you movies. Prerecorded tapes cannot be deleted and used as "new" or bare (having no recording on it).

there no way you can record a still photo while recording at mini dv tape cause the a tape and memory card switch rec mode

Well, I went to The Sony site and what I found out was that currently this camera is only ceritfied for a 512mb stick. It does say what the qualiy is the memory stick is E-mail mode with a resultion of 160x112 pixels. The TAPE mode is DV quality or 740X480 pixels. Try recording both ways and see what looks better when you play it back on you TV or PC then decide.
