I went to http://camcorder.jvc.com/index.jsp then put in that model.
http://search.jvc.com/query.html?style=JCA&col=site&qt=GC-XA1 has six links so I took this one.

I see 3 PDFs and one is called the "DETAILED USER GUIDE"
http://resources.jvc.com/Resources/00/01/55/GCXA1%20DETAILED%20USER%20GUIDE.PDF
I'm unsure if you tried that or if that guide is not enough.

I'm looking for the "Detailed User Guide". The instructions say it's on the memory in the camera as start.pdf, but there are no *.pdf files on the camera. On the JVC website for this model, there is a "Basic User Guide", but I can't find the Detailed User Guilde. Where is it? Thanks.
