JVC GR - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues - Page 5

Hi...
If you have a CD installer of your camera you need to install the driver so that you cam can be detected. If your cd is lost you need to visit the JVC site then search the model of you camera, if you can see now the model you can start to download the driver. "good luck"

iPhone can not play AVCHD format directly. You may need to convert it first. Transfer videos from your digital camera to your computer, then convert AVCHD to mp4 or mov format. Last but not least, transfer videos to your iPhone via iTunes. How to Convert AVCHD to MP4 for Free

that means the head is sticky or the takeup rollers are icky take it apart . clean all the parts the tape touches with something thats strong but little water . as for the head very carefull clean it when you get to the actual holes where heads are only use a proper qtip wetted . look it up or youll break them. on the rubber rollers scrub them . then load the tape an watch it run. its easy to fix this but you need a nice clean place an some small phillips , take pics of parts/screws if needed

Get a pack of moister absorber from hard ware store and pack with camera (break seal) in sealed plastic container,then take to camera repaire as excess moister might case rust or failure off circuit,sorry but you might be already too late. Steve

There should be an option to disable the status from being displayed during tape playback. Once you've found it then you're good to go.

You'll need a Frame Grabber to transfer video off the tape to a TV using the A/V cable for the camera. Google Frame Grabber to find one that suits your budget.

The USB port on this camera is a standard USB A to mini B cable

Remove battery Press and HOLD Eject as you place battery back on (so its the first command it recognizes with power) and try to eject. If it does not come out, camera will need service to remove tape or fix gears

JVC has acknowledged a fault on their side that will cause certain models to display the "lens cap" error, and they offer free repairs, unfortunately your model isn't on the list. You still might get some consideration, since there are plenty of models from the GR-D series listed. Here's a link to the JVC site : http://www.jvc.com/support/notification/index.jsp?pageID=2 You're not alone though, it's a very common problem also with models that are not listed by JVC. I only heard of complaints by people that JVC refused to help, but it won't hurt trying, maybe they'll give in to public pressure eventually. Good luck

No. To work with 220V~240v; the device need a step down transformer to be connected in between line and device. The transformer [voltage converter] should be used, otherwise; the unit will get damaged. The step down transformer adaptors can be bought locally. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Lens Cap Error can happen when "eye" of camera goes out "blind". this will require service on the CCD.

Depends which country it was made for? Where was it bought?

two ways, buy a mini dv cleaning cassette, two if you do not have one, put the cam in play mode, hit play, than fast forward button for a min, the tape going fast sometimes cleans the head. not just fast forward but play, than ff so the tape is hitting the head, other than that, the cam has to be taken apart and the heads cleaned with the proper cleaning solution and PROPER brush as not to hurt the fragile heads Dave

Is the sound distorted or completly gone. If gone, check your camera setting for NARRATION and make sure its set to MIX. If you have sound but its distorted, i would recommend a DV head cleaner
