USING THE GR-A30 AS A VIDEO CAMERA
For continuous documentation of longer events, the GR- A30U can be used as an independent video camera in
combination with either a deck-type or portable video recorder .
Using a recorder not equipped with a remote pause terminal
• Connect the AV OUT connector of the GR-A30U to the AUDIO and VIDEO IN connectors of the video re-
corder using the optional A/V output VC-V826U cable.

In this configuration, it is possible to obtain a continuous recording and an edited-out recording of the same
event simultaneously, because the G R-A30U's start/stop bu tton only contro ls the tape inside itself while an-
other tape loaded in the connected recorder continues running. To record on the GR- A30U's tape, follow the
same recording procedure as mentioned before: set the control panel cover to CAMERA and then press ihe
start/stop button.
Using a recorder equipped with a 10-pin camera connector
• Connect the AV OUT connector of the G R-A30U to the 10-pin camera connector of the JVC recorder using the

Precautions
• Power
is not supplied to the GR-A30U from the con n ected VCR. Independent power supply is required for
both the G R-A30U and the VCR.
• If you stop recording by pressing the G R-A30U's start/stop button, the connected VCR also stops in the Pause
mode . However, the pause command signal is not delivered to the connected VCR in the following cases and,
therefore, the VCR will start automatically:
( 1) when the G R-A30U is switched off or its battery becomes discharged.
(2)
when the VC-V810U cable is disconnected .
Therefore, before replacing the battery or tape for the G R- A30U, put the connected VCR either in the STOP
or REC LOCK mode.
