Have it check by the expert(service center). I suspect the flexible wire is partly cut, it needs replacement. Hope it helps

In this case you need a driver for your camcorder, it is provided during your purchase. In case you lost it, have a copy on it in any way coz it is badly needed here. Important note to install driver on XP, Connect your cam to your PC and wait for a while it will prompt you to insert CD, and click yes,continue anyway, yes etc. hope it helps

Have check your cassette for some crumpled or damage, if it's is ok, I'm afraid this problem cannot be solve by yourself, there is a problem on the tape transport for sure and it needs skill and instrument, have it check to the expert.

Further research indicates this is a common problem with JVC camcorders.
If it were a car there probably would have been a factory recall. I'm sending it to JVC Service,1500 Lakes Parkway,Lawrenceville,GA 30043 for repair.

to transfer video from your camcorder to your computer you will need a firewire cable (ieee 1394). only with this cable you will be able to transer video.
you will also need a firewire port on your computer.
if you don't have one then you can buy a firewire pci card.

try reseting the camcorder. most electronics go into safe mode when they detect a major problem so nothing else can go wrong. there should be a small pin hole some where that says reset or take out battery for 30 min. if this dose not work then take it somewhere to have it looked at.

here is the link to the manual for jvc gr-d30u.:--

Not 100% sure but when my gz-hd3u had the same problem I cleaned as well as pushed in all the battery connect pins on the camera. one of the middle pins detects if the battery is installed.

Replace the loading motor

Remove the CD disc from the camcorder and put in the CD drive on the computer. A windows may open automatically to show you the conmtents of the CD.

If it does not open automatically:
1. Use Windows explorer ... open "My Computer"
2. The CD will probably be listed as Drive D:"
3. Double-click (open) the Drive and each folder that appears on the drive.
4. The viseos will be listed...
5. you can copy (or "drag") these to a folder or your desktop.

Use Firewire cable connected to firewire port of Your computer. Even Windows movie maker can capture images from any DV camcorder. After capture it´s easy to burn DVD with any burning software. For more questions email me.
Good luck!

yes had this on a few JVC it may be that the moisture has corrosded the dew sensor and will need service. When you store it use those crystals that come in packing of some items They are excellent for preventing this in Video cameras

check the following in camera mode and the auto/manual switch set to manual:
exposure: set to auto shutter: set to auto or off agc: auto white balance: auto program ae: off gain up: auto display/bright: +1-+3
after all that, hit the auto/manual switch again to set the camera into auto mode, the new settings should sort you out.

ditch the usb cable and use the firewire. If Vista correctly detects AVC-compliant devices (pretty much EVERY firewire-equipped camcorder on the market!) it should "just work"

hope this helsp

your camera should have come with an installation cd. This is the program that they want you to use. if you do not have this try downloading it off the internet by typing the kind of camera that you have into the search engine along with installation download. It should send you to a download site or the company web site. If you don't have a computer...write the company I am sure they would be glad to send you a replacement cd

In order to transfer photos from your camera to your computer, you need to

1- Install the drivers for your camera. The drivers are located in the CD which came with your camera. If you do not have the CD, go to Kodak web site and download the drivers for your cam

2- Connect your cam to your PC.
3- if the drivers are installed correctely, click start, and then the computer icom. There should be an icon with name name of your cam...., double click that and you probably see one or more folders with your save pictures.
4- Now you can copy or cut and past one or more pictures from your camera to your computer. I hope it helps you.
Good Luck!!!!
