I don't own the JVC, but I did take a look at it. The reviews were not all that great for the unit. I didn't like the format of the files it stored (I use Linux, the Sony files are immediately usable). I liked the 6MP still picture feature... AND I believe the build quality of the Sony is a bit better than the JVC. There are some reviews out there for the JVC. Not too many for the sr300 yet though. If I had to do all over again, I'd choose the SR300. IMHO there isn't a good (well one that I like well enough) HD HDD camera out there yet. You get the Sonnar*T lens with the SR300... that might be well worth getting it over the SR200. If there was a $400 price difference, I'd get the SR200. Camcorders retain their value, so don't expect to see too much drop in price.

Whatever it is, it isn't just static - I'll be returning my unit for another one after I dig the boxes out of the trash. If the second one isn't better, I'll move on to another video camcorder entirely. If it didn't have this problem and the sound volume being too low, it'd be great. I could kick myself for not looking at enough reviews before buying!

Subject: Re: Y. Callewaert commented on your answer to the question "Being a Mac user, will this camera work with my Mac and iMovie program?"if you want a sample from the camera, you can go to facebook's Hot SpringsJazz Society and look at the u-tube videos of our Vocal-Rama event .... all6 or so of the u=tubes were taken by the camera and attached mic. Theacoustics in the Garvan Gardens Chapel aren't the best, but I thought thesounds came through reasonably well....Dave

John, I was so disappointed w mine I quickly returned it. I could not get it to work properly with almost any of my stereo including the video connect.Sorry I didn't have a better report.

I would recommend to you the KS-UBT1 BT module. It's the official jvc one and should work on all BT models.

Wow, bless your heart. I spent hours on the phone with Sony and Panasonic only to be spinning my wheels. Ended up returning my soundbar. Perhaps Radio Shack might be able to help you out. Sorry, I'm not much help. I wish you well.

The recorder is a piece of trash. Mine worked exactly once. I can't believe Sony actually put their name on it. Look elsewhere if you need something you can rely on.

Hi, I have a JVC Everio (I don't have the model number with me) and the mini HDMI works with my camera.

Sorry, I can't help. I only used the Sony for playing movies in mp4 format on my HD TV. The sound was very good though.

I am having the same experience. I guess I'd better return this camera. I mean, if it won't even turn on, what good is it? What a waste of time. My husband bought me a Vivitar pocket camcorder for Christmas, it works. I guess I'll just stick with that. After all...it works...kind of a basic requirement.

I recently flew to Europe last week, own a pair of those & a Sony MDR7506. I was comparing them; that JVC amazed me. It blocked 90%+ of cabin noises', jet sound included. It's not something that you will feel immediately, it's kind of progressive, then nothing. Feels comfortable& the sound quality is awesome.

I have a JVC Everio GZ EX 355 BU. It works but did not fit right the battery also runs out very quickly. I returned mine and bought original from JVC. You get what you pay for

I'm actually going to order this after the new year.I called Sony and they werent much help with my question. I also asked Crutchfield and while they didnt have a definitive answer for me, they recommended that I run the video from my computer directly to my TV and the audio to the receiver. Worst case scenario, thats what I'll do. I'm glad I have a Logitech 880 remote.I tried looking for answers and I'm surprised that no one had questions about using this unit with a computer.As for the other receivers you mentioned, I think this has more value than either of those with the 4 HDMIs and 1080p upscale. I'm really looking forward to getting this and making some free time to set it up. I'm actually going to order this after the new year.I called Sony and they werent much help with my question.

It will only work with JVC products that are set up to accept or have that option .The unit will say which one to use in the book or you can research online . Works great , hope this helps
