To E439EG Owners:

Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-speed video recorder.

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.

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.

5.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 in 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 turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

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.

HR-E239EG, HR-E439EG specifications

The JVC HR-E439EG and HR-E239EG are noteworthy models in the realm of VHS video cassette recorders, captivating users with their efficient design, reliability, and a suite of features tailored for both casual viewers and dedicated videophiles. Built with JVC's commitment to quality, these models are designed for ease of use while incorporating advanced technologies that enhance the viewing and recording experience.

Both the HR-E439EG and HR-E239EG boast robust playback capabilities for VHS tapes, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of video formats. Their construction includes high-quality components that contribute to crisp video reproduction and clear audio playback, maintaining the integrity of the original recordings. The devices utilize JVC’s Super VHS technology, allowing for superior picture quality when playing Super VHS tapes, alongside standard VHS tapes.

One of the standout features of the HR-E439EG is its built-in Time Base Corrector (TBC), which significantly improves the playback quality by reducing jitter and enhancing stability in the video signal.

The VCRs come with several playback modes, offering options such as slow-motion and frame advance, enhancing the viewing experience for those who enjoy detailed analysis of their recordings. The convenience of an on-screen display is also featured, making navigation through the settings and tape management intuitive.

In terms of connectivity, the HR-E439EG and HR-E239EG provide composite video and audio outputs, allowing users to connect to various television models seamlessly. The designs are also user-friendly, with straightforward controls that make operation easy for all ages.

These VCRs represent the classic reliability of JVC products, serving as an excellent choice for those looking to preserve their VHS collections or simply enjoy the nostalgic experience of analog video playback.
