My experience is that although called an AGC by JVC -- like most all current digital camcorders it is only a Limiter. That's because low signal levels are no problem in digital so there is no reason to increase signal level.
If I'm correct -- the signal coming INTO the HD7 is way too hot.
I would dial down the signal at your wireless receiver so the signal PEAKS, on the HD7, are at Light 6 (-21dB) or Light 7 (-18dB). That means that average audio levels light only a few Lights -- just enough to confirm the mics are working.

Good point. Explains a lot about JVC's audio perception. However, most wireless receivers don't have gain control on input. The squelch adjustment may attenuate incoming signal, but is also impacts reception range as well, so test, test, test. Transmitter input may be a better approach. Most RF transmitters have a screwdriver adjustment that is called just about anything between volume and gain, but is really gain. Full clockwise should be around -50db. Fully counter clockwise should be +4db.
