When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

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

1.DO NOT place the recorder …

…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 recorder’s ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

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

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

8.AVOID violent shocks to the recorder during transport.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

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

How to use the remote control

Before use, insert the batteries in the correct directions as indicated under the battery cover. The remote control can operate most of your recorder’s functions, as well as basic functions of JVC TVs.

●Point the remote control towards the remote sensor on the target component. The maximum operating distance is about 8 m.

●To operate a JVC TV, use any of the following buttons: TV 1, TV , TV PR +/– or TV %+/–.

NOTE:

If the remote control does not work properly, remove its batteries, wait for a few seconds, replace the batteries and then try again.

Video heads cleaning

The heads get dirty in the following cases:

●in an environment prone to extreme temperature or humidity

●in a dusty environment

●flaw, dirt or mold on video tapes

●continuous usage for a long time

Use a dry cleaning cassette — TCL-2 — when:

●Rough, poor picture appears while a tape is played back.

●The picture is unclear or no picture appears.

●“USE CLEANING CASSETTE” appears on the screen (only with “O.S.D.” set to “ON” ( 12)).

Usable cassettes

● Compact VHS camcorder recordings can be played on this recorder. Simply place the recorded cassette into a VHS Cassette Adapter and it can be used just like any full-sized VHS cassette.

●This recorder is equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) that lets you watch tapes recorded in the S-VHS format and the SP mode with regular VHS resolution.

*SQPB does not deliver Super VHS resolution.

●This recorder can record on regular VHS and Super VHS cassettes. However, it will record regular VHS signals only.

*S-VHS recording is not possible with this recorder.

ATTENTION:

TO MOBILE PHONE USER:

Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the recorder may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a blue back display.

ON PLACING THE RECORDER:

Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields. DO NOT place such appliance on top of the recorder as it may cause picture disturbance.
