| - The JVC camcorder is a brand of camcorder that Emmett Brown possessed in 1985. Doc called Marty McFly to go to his garage and pick up the camcorder — which he had forgotten — to bring to Twin Pines Mall on October 26. Marty documented the entire event and just before the Libyan terrorists attacked. Marty ran into the DeLorean time machine with the camcorder and transported it to 1955. Once in 1955, Marty located the Doc of the past and showed him the tape. Doc was amazed that such a small device could record what a much larger television studio could do at the time. Upon watching the video, Doc was at first horrified when he realized that they needed 1.21 jigowatts of electricity to power the flux capacitor. On November 8, Doc was playing back the video when Marty interrupted him. Doc had been watching the sequence from 1985 that closed with his older self saying, "Oh my God, they found me. I don't know how, but they found me. Run for it, Marty!". From that point on, Marty tried to warn Doc about the Libyan terrorists, but Doc refused to listen on the grounds that "No man should know too much about his own destiny." As with other devices from the future, the camcorder was apparently put back into the DeLorean and sent back with Marty to the year 1985. Both a JVC camcorder and a JVC television set appeared in the display window of the Blast from the Past antique store in 2015. A television screen in the Cafe 80's in 2015 that portrayed a Michael Jackson video simulacrum was a JVC. Furthermore, Marty McFly Jr.'s video glasses were of the JVC brand.
