5Cassettes marked ''VHS'' (or ''S-VHS'') can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recording is not possible with this model.

5This model is equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAY- BACK) that makes it possible to play back S-VHS record- ings with regular VHS resolution.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the VCR, remote control or video cassette.

1.DO NOT place the VCR . . .

... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.

... in direct sunlight.

... in a dusty environment.

... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.

... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

2.DO NOT block the VCR’s ventilation openings.

3.DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or remote control.

4.DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the VCR or remote control.

5.AVOID violent shocks to the VCR during transport.

**MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form on the sur- face of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In condi- tions where condensation may occur, keep the VCR’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry before in- serting a tape.

**ABOUT HEAD CLEANING

Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads may cause the playback picture to become blurred or inter- rupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such troubles occur.

Cautions on operation

•When the car is parked under the blazing sun or in an extremely cold place for a long time, wait a while to use this unit after the temperature of the cabin drops to the normal temperature.

•Use this unit as the engine is running. If this unit is used as the engine is stopping, it depletes the car battery and, if worst comes to worst, the battery fails in starting the en- gine.

•If this unit is disconnected during operation (playback, fast- forward, rewind, etc.), it may cause a machine failure. When disconnecting this unit, be sure to remove the video cassette from the unit beforehand.

•When the engine key is turned off, this unit is also turned off at the same time. To operate this unit again, turn it on once more after starting the engine.
