SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

NOTES:

● In order to maintain optimum performance of the

camcorder, provided cables may be equipped with
one or more core filter. If a cable has only one core
filter, the end that is closest to the filter should be
connected to the camcorder.

It is recommended to use the AC Adapter as the

power supply instead of the battery pack (

pg. 9).

Never connect the USB or PC connection cable and

the DV cable simultaneously to the camcorder.
Connect only the cable you wish to use to the
camcorder.

● If the PC connected to the camcorder via the USB

cable is not powered, the camcorder does not enter
the USB mode.

● The date/time information cannot be captured into the

PC.

● Refer to the instruction manuals of the PC and Software.

● The still images can also be transferred to a PC with a

DV connector-equipped capture board.

When using a DV cable, be sure to use the optional

JVC VC-VDV206U or VC-VDV204U DV cable
depending on the type of DV connector (4 or 6 pins)
on the PC, or use the DV cable provided with the
capture board.

● The system may not work properly depending on the

PC or capture board you are using.
