    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...
