JVC GR - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

This device is many years old now - even if a repair were feasible, it would be prohibitively expensive. Time to replace with a more up-to-date model, which will have the added advantage that you can load video files directly your computer from the memory card. You may have tapes already recorded on your old machine - these can be transferred to DVD by any competent camera store.

Unit is - what ?

Hello, Regina - Without knowing the make and model of the camcorder it is a challenge to give you the best information. Instead, I suggest you take the camcorder to a store which specializes in cameras and related equipment. Someone at such a store can give you the best advice. Note: For more permanence of the videos you may want to have them transferred to a DVD. Best wishes.
