Precautions for DVD Recorder Use

Storage & Usage Locations

The storage and usage of this DVD recorder in the following types of location should be avoided.

●Areas at temperatures which deviate by a significant degree above or below the permitted service temperature range (i.e., 5°C to 35°C).

●Areas at humidities which deviate by a significant degree above or below the permitted service humidity range (i.e., 20% to 80% RH).

●Areas where a large amount of dust or sand is present.

●Areas where the DVD recorder may come into contact with oily smoke or steam, such as in kitchens or in their immediate vicinity.

●Areas that are unstable or where significant vibration occurs.

●Areas where condensation occurs readily.

●Areas where strong magnetic fields are generated by transformers, motors, or the like.

●Areas where transceivers, mobile phones, and other wireless-communication devices are present.

●Areas that are subjected to X-ray irradiation or where corrosive gases are present. (This precaution must be strictly observed.)

Handling

●Ensure that this DVD recorder is placed on a flat, horizontal surface for use.

●Do not place heavy objects such as a monitor on top of the DVD recorder.

●Do not insert foreign objects into the disc tray opening.

●Be careful not to get your fingers clamped when loading the disc to prevent injury.

●Do not block the fan’s ventilation holes.

●Avoid knocking or dropping this DVD recorder.

●When the DVD recorder is to be moved, ensure that any DVD it contains is removed in advance.

●If the DVD recorder is not to be used for an extended period of time, please disconnect the AC adaptor to avoid wasting electricity.

Cleaning the Exterior (with the power off)

Use a soft cloth when cleaning the outside of this DVD recorder.

Do not use paint thinners or organic solvents as cleaning agents.

Failure to observe these precautions can result in discoloration or melting of exterior surfaces.

When stubborn dirt is present, wipe away using a cloth soaked in a dilute neutral solvent.

Always use the AC adaptor provided with this DVD recorder.

Always use the power cord provided with this DVD recorder.

The usage of a different type of cord or a damaged cord can result in the outbreak of fire or electric shocks.

The power cord or the AC adaptor supplied with this DVD recorder should not be used with any other device.

Before connecting the BD-X200 to other devices, turn those devices off and then carry out setup procedures as described in the corresponding user’s manuals.

The DVD drive unit is an expendable part. Although the service life of the DVD drive unit differs depending on the usage environment of the customer, replacement every 1000 hours as a guide is recommended. (☞Page 87 “TOTAL RECORDING TIME”)

Precautions Regarding Condensation

Condensation
When cold water is poured into a glass and droplets of
water form on its outer surface, this moisture is referred

to as “condensation”.
When condensation occurs
Condensation can cause water droplets to adhere to the
DVD recorder’s internal lens, thus making normal
operation impossible.

Condensation occurs easily in the following situations, and the appropriate care should be taken.

•When the DVD recorder is moved from a cold location into a warm room.

•When the room containing the DVD is rapidly heated.

•When an air conditioner’s air duct is pointing straight at the DVD recorder.

In situations where it is likely that condensation will occur, remove any DVD that may be present in the BD-X200 and then turn the power on. As the interior heats up, condensation will be less likely to occur.

Condensation is a principal cause of the inability to play discs and other similar problems. In this type of situation, allow the DVD recorder to remain inactive with its power on for several hours. If the problem persists after this period of time has elapsed, contact either the store where the BD-X200 was purchased or your nearest JVC Authorized dealer.

Extended Periods of Inactivity

Performance may deteriorate over extended periods of inactivity; for this reason, the power should be turned on and the DVD recorder should be operated at regular intervals.

Compensation for Damaged Content

JVC accepts no responsibility whatsoever for damages incurred as a result of an inability to play or record audio and video content in the rare event that this DVD recorder, a DVD-R, or a DVD-RW fails to operate correctly.

It is recommended that discs containing important content be backed up at regular intervals (i.e., on a yearly basis). Although digital signals do not deteriorate, storage environments can have an effect on a disc’s aging characteristics, and this may result in an inability to play or record.

If a disc should break, there will be no way to recover data from it.

Proper playback of discs recorded using this DVD recorder on all devices is not guaranteed.
