I was just about to tell you not to buy a JVC. Me and a friend purchased our jvc camcorders on the same day. His broke like 5 days after the warranty expired and JVC would not assist him in any way, to fix it would not have been financially viable anyway they told him. He purchased a new camcorder but a different brand.
Last year my camcorder started displaying "Removed Lens Cap" errors although the lens cap was off. A bit of googling led me to find out this is a common problem on jvc and they actually have a procedure to deal with owners of these defective cams.
So I contact the local jvc distributor for repairs, tell them what the problem is and they give me a verbal estimate over the phone. Then I tell them that it is a factory defect and jvc has issues statements to this effect, oh no they are aware of it. So why bill me? Uh, sorry we will only bill you for labour wich to me is not on (if there was no factory defect there would be no labour, common sense). So I argue with a few egits and eventually spoke to a guy that was apologetic and told me to send it in. I only got my campcorder back like 9months later and then the bastars wanted to bill me for it as well and I had to go through the whole process again of arguing with people.
I own a jvc , tv, vcr x2, had a home theatre system of theres at one stage so I 'was' a fan. I will NEVER ever again in my life buy a jvc product simply because of my last experience.
