The Complaint Station for JVC | Jvc customer service
(Although this post is about a JVC DVD Player, it shows what JVC Customer Service is like. Now JVC is also getting a class-action lawsuit due to their DVD players - Juan)

My advice for anyone buying electronics of any type--avoid JVC. A few years back I purchased a new JVC DVD player (BK-501) for $400. A little over a year later I was having trouble running certain movies. Anything from Disney would not run. I notified JVC and they told me that they were aware of the problem and the players hardware had to be upgraded. Since the machine was out of warranty I was told the cost to me would be about $150. I said since others are having this problem and that they were aware of it, it should be a recall problem since substandard parts were used. I also said the machine wasnt dropped or misused--just has problems with some makers dvd's. They didnt want to hear it. I also said that I had friends that had dvd players that cost half as much as mine that didnt have these problems. I had owned other electronics from JVC before this but this was my last. They dont care about there customers, and need to learn how to deal with problems due to their own manufacturing faults. Anytime Im in an electronics store I tell people to stay away from JVC and my advice and story has kept people from buying there products and going with other brands. "

I had the E04 problem and it seems to be my tape that caused it. When I tried to eject it - it wouldn\'t come out. I pryed the door a little and it finally released and the tape was tangled inside the unit.
Once I removed the tape it worked (I also 'banged' the side of the unit for a while before taking out the tape with no effect).

Boy I thought I was the only one having this problem. I tried taping at the dragstrip and EO4 'eject and reinsert the tape' pops up. I\'ll try some of the things given on this webpage....but if doesn\'t work I\'ll never buy JVC again and almost everything I have is JVC except for my car stereo which is a Sony and love it better than the JVC one offered at the same price.

I have the sme problem though my cam is dvl108. I took the cam to service couple of times and it worked there always??? One quick fix I have found is that if you tap the cassette door gently the error is suddenly gone. Any help on this one is appreciated.

I have this Error E04, Safeguard mode, reattach battery thing which i got no idea to fix. Can somebody e-mail me on how to best fix this irritating problem. Please out? I bought this in Australia but i am now in the outback in Afica -Botswana. I tried taking the camera around for service but still they could help. Get back to me with a good answer. I thought it could be because of dust in here but i had it cleaned and still the same problem. Again it would work for some seconds sometimes and return to the error message. Its hurting to lose capturing this once in lifetime adventure am currenting involved in. Please help!! PATRICK

I have the JVC GR-DVM75 and have had this darn Safe Mode message forever. I just have to take the tape out and remove the battery. Sometimes it takes a minute, sometimes it takes days before it works again. Terrible!!!! I have yet to see a solution on the web.

It really works!! The 'beat the hell out of your camera' method. Fortunately, I didn't spend $$ on pro repairs. When I started getting the old 'safeguard mode' and 'clean your head' messages I searched the net and found this dicussion group. After reading everyones' messages I beat the crap out my camera as described by Ryan with one small modification - I removed the tape and left the door open, opened the view screen, removed the battery, and then I proceded to whack the camera with the battery right on the side over the speaker with 3 or 4 solid whacks. Presto it is working again without any error messages - I'll have to see how long it lasts.

JVC RECORDING PROBLEM!
April 12, 2004, 08:26:22 am
About 3 years ago I purchased a JVC GR-DVM75. I never used it very much until just recently when I took it with me on a skiing vacation to get some shots of me snowboarding. All of a sudden, one day my camera started having a really weird problem, the capturing image was all green and it was capturing very little light. I have tried everything from changing all the settings to restarting the camera to using a head cleaning cassete but nothing has worked. Now I am asking you generous people out there to help me find a solution to my toubling issue.
Thanks in advance,
Ndarre "
