I have a jvc GR-C1 camcorder. When i press record i can see it recording through the view finder. When i play back what i have recorded it shows what you see on an emply tape, nothing. Can anyone help me. Thanks.

Look in the view finder when recording instead of the screen. if you see the image there then the unit is probably set to look through there. Many of the new units dont' have a full view finder to lens item they actually have a small lcd screen inside the view finder. Check your options for recording.

Also if the view finder is tilted you need to close that before usign the lcd.

The image will not appear simultaneously on the LCD

monitor and the viewfinder. It will appear in the

viewfinder when the LCD monitor is in the lock position,

and it will appear on the LCD monitor when fully
extended.

To record to the DVD, connect the A/V cables from the JVC GR-D347U to the A/V In on the DVD recorder. Since the DVD already plays to the TV, you just have to keep the TV set to that input. Put a blank DVD in the recorder. Set the DVD recorder to record on from the appropriate Line In (input) with the DVD as the target recording media. To make sure that all of the devices are on and receiving the output from the camera and DVD recorder, start playback on the GR-D347U and check that it displays on the TV. Forward the tape in the camera to the point where you want to record to the DVD. Stop playback. Press REC for the DVD recorder and restart your playback. Press stop for both the DVD recorder and then the camera when the desired video segment has been played back.

See page 21 of the manual for the GR-D347U. Treat the DVD recorder as a VCR for this situation. The manual is available here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/82266/Jvc-Gr-D347u.html?page=21#manual .

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the details of the DVD recorder for more information on connecting the unit in this daisy chain.

(Many recorders have at least two composite video Line In inputs. That's why you need select the correct one for recording.)

Try inserting cleaning cassette, could be due to head clog. If not, repairing this model is very costly and not practical to use this time. I suggest take a new for maybe its cheaper and far better features than repairing this one. Hope this helps

My camcorder does not show a picture when trying to record a video and when I look throught the eye port is is scrambled also. the only picture that is normal is when I watch a previously recorded video. Can you help me?

Hello,
Your camera has failure of the CCD image sensor. Please contact JVC Service for free repair, if your camera model falls in their list.

which view finder? contrast or brightness?

hi
you should have the heads cleaning,
try to put a cleaning tape and run it for playback then try recording again
thx.

I have the same model and I also had that problem. It turned out to be the motor. Do you hear a faint humming sound? If this is similar, you will have to take it to a designated JVC repair shop.
