   Help please! I own a JVC GR-D20EK Mini-DV camcorder and recently had a message come up when I turn it on. It says" E01 Unit in Safeguard Mode Remove and Reattach Battery" I have done this to no avail. The tape is also still inside. Does anyone know how I could overcome this problem or the choices I have.

   Regards Kevin.

    You may want to try removing the battery and powering the unit with the AC adapter. And try to eject the tape that way...

   I MADE MINE WORK!!!! With the camera off, I pressed and held the "play"
   button while I powered it on into playback mode. It actually let me
   watch the tape. I switched it to "REC" mode and still got the error. So
   I switched it off, pushed and held the rec button while powering it
   on... IT WORKED. Now I can power it on and off with no more error
   messages (so far)! Let me know if this works for you too!
