E03 SafeGuard Mode
Unknown Posted Jun 18, 2005, in response to:Egbuna
Question: Do you keep trying to use the same tape when you re-insert the tape. If you do, reset the camcorder properly and try a new JVC or even Panasonic tape if you can get one. Reset procedure below:
* Remove tape from camcorder
* close up the camcorder and power it down
* remove the power source (battery or DC cord)
* replace the power source and power up the camcorder
* try a NEW JVC or Panasonic tape.
IF the camcorder accepts the new tape---then the previous tape may have had a mechanical problem within itself. NOTE: tapes also have internal mechanical parts. If the tapes mechanism is having a problem, it will not run properly within the camcorder. IF a tape is not being accepted into the camcorder or has been having a problem running in the camcorder, DO NOT continue trying to use it. Doing so may result in the tape jamming in the camcorder or a malfunction can occur causing error codes to engage. When error codes engage, the camcorder will go into "SafeGuard Mode" and shut down.

I bought my JVC GR-DVL160EG 2nd hand and it displayed the E03 failure. The previous owmner had placed the tape upside down, which gave now this failure. I discovered that the problem disappeared after shortcutting the sensor. That is by shortcutting the first two lines of the flat cable at the bottom, marked with CN572. These lines are facing to you, on the outside. I did not make the shortcut in the cable but just by putting a very little bit of solder between the two first connections on the print. Not a very good solution, but it worked. Do it AT YOUR OWN RISK! Tip: first try to see if it works by touching and shortcutting the two lines with a metal pin like a small screwdriver or pincet.
