JVC Everio GZ-MG155 (30 GB) Camcorder

I bought a JVC Everio GZ-MG 155 camcorder off ebay 14 months ago. I won't go into alot of details  on specifications, because the bottom line is after wrestling with it for 2 months, it's pretty much sat unused. I was able to cut down a tiny clip but not edit. 
Lastly, the format is MOD which you have to rename to use. This unit was a huge disappointment. The manuals seemed to have been translated from another language and not very well.
