Disconnect the battery pack or the DC power plug on the back of the camcorder if the LCD screen displays error code "01," "02" or "06." This resets the camcorder and unlocks the unit from safe mode. Wait 10 minutes before reconnecting power.
"JVC notes that you are also given a malfunction code when the unit is placed into safeguard. If it displays code 01, 02, or 06 you should remove the battery and powersupply and wait for a while. Code 03 and 04 indicate that you should eject and reinsert the tape.
If neither of these solutions work, your only alternative is to bring it to a shop or send it to JVC for diagnosis or repair. Unfortunately, there is no other way to clear the condition."
According to this, E04 denotes a problem with the recording media or the mechanical bits that deal with the tape. Hopefully trying another tape helps.
I have had the same problem with a different model JVC. I haven't been able to fix it yet, but there were a bunch of people on a different forum that were able to fix that error code quite simply. With a tape in the machine, flip the lever to eject the tape, then as soon as you hear the motor start to whir, quickly close the door. It didn't help me, but like I said, several people reported that that action fixed the EO3 error.
"safeguard mode" indicates a hard failure, normally associated with the mechanism. Try ejecting the tape if one is in the unit. Do not force the mechanism open as it will cost more have the cam repaired. If tape is defective and can be removed, try using a cleaning tape first, then a known good tape.
Defective mechanism, a stucked mechanism is present. camcorders are smart. it can detect error and shut down itself for safety. earlier models domino the defect if the user is not quick enough to react when something goes wrong with the camera. You need professional service to fix it.
Unfortunately this is a repair issue. There are several failures that can occur, none of which will be resolved without service, that create this safeguard situation. Often the fpc cable which carries sensor information to the micro has been injured and that requires repair.
Good luck,
