I read the cause of the problem, it was the surge in voltage applied to the camera. The best is to turn it on for a while before ejecting the tape, this makes sure the power is in the camera fully and everything is running normally.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(11\/10\/08)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">PS: On the OE4 problem, it&#8217;s actually the tape that we&#8217;re using. According to JB138, if you get the correct tape, it will play.<br \/>\nDifferent tape&#8217;s physical causes the alignment to be off, therefore the error. I got my other JVC to work.<br \/>\nIf the tapes are sitting for a long time, we need to insert 2 pencils erasers in both of the reels and rotate them. The tape tends to stick together after a long time, this also will cause OE4 problem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Now, I only use these JVC video camera to tranfer all my tapes to PC and make DVD out of them since I got the Digital Camera Panasonics FZ28k which has HD video recording capability. It&#8217;s great, 2-1 for all events (pictures &amp; videos). The video comes out great. No need heavy JVC Video camera any more.<br \/>\n8\/10\/09<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7N2eFY7Ugvs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">GOOD LUCK and hope you have your camera for the Holidays,<br \/>\n<ul class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This may be a quick fix so some of us can use it to transfer our old movies to the PC.
