I have a gr-dv800u that kept giving me e01 errors. Sometimes I could clear it by switching from memory to video mode. Ultimately I found that removing the tape would clear the error. Solution: always remove the tape when not in use. It would save battery life if you remove the battery when not using as well.

You most likely have bad capacitors in the camcorder. Not a really hard fix except you need special surface mounted soldering tools, a service manual and a service wire extention kit. Very expensive these days to repair. There are a few Camcorder repair shops that charge a flat rate. You can look up camcorder repair up on the Internet and find them, or I will send you some if you need. In my opinion, it is time to retire the old girl and find a shiny new digital camcorder. They are not all that expensive these days. Good Luck

How do I get a jvc camcorder out of safeguard mode. Error 06

Step 1 Look at the camcorder's display to identify if it is in Safeguard Mode. If its display indicates an error number of E01 to E06, your camcorder is in Safeguard Mode.
Step 2 Disconnect your camcorder from its power source and remove its battery by sliding the latch forward and sliding the battery down while pulling it away from the camera's body. Wait at least two minutes before continuing.
Step 3 Remove the camera's cassette by pressing the "Eject" button, waiting for the cassette door to open, and lifting it out of the tape bay. This step is only necessary if the camera indicates the E03 or E04 error code or it tells you to eject and reinsert the tape.
Step 4 Replace the camera's battery, power connection and cassette, and turn the camera on.

My video camera wont let me record or play

Greetings bianca50,

There is a known issue with a small button that becomes stuck causing your camera to display this error message. I would suggest ensuring this button is not stuck on your camera by putting the battery on a bit forcefully. This should eliminate the error.

Thank you,

Agent Dort

Getting e01 message what to do

http://www.fixya.com/support/t103751-in_video_mode_error_code_message_e01 resolved it for me... Apparently the JVC cameras have a little button that detects the presence of the battery, but it doesn't move very freely and you really have to slam the battery onto the camera before it notices. Cleared my E01 fault first time after having been getting more and more frustrated since it first locked up

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
