Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. During use . . .

.... make sure the cassette bears the VHS-C mark.

.... be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes

automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.

.... make sure the cassette is positioned properly

when inserting.

.... do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly

without allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and can result in damage.

.... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes the

tape to fingerprints and dust.

2. Store cassettes . . .

.... away from heaters or other heat sources.

.... out of direct sunlight.

.... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary shock

or vibration.

.... where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic

fields (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).

.... vertically, in their original cases.

.... disassemble or modify the unit.

.... short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack.

Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use.

.... allow inflammables, water or metallic objects to

enter the unit.

.... remove the battery pack or disconnect the power

supply while the power is on.

.... leave the battery pack attached when the

camcorder is not in use.

cooking stove.

electric fields (speakers, broadcasting antennas, etc.).

104°F) or extremely low (under 0°C or 32°F) temperatures.

.... carry it by holding the viewfinder. Be sure to hold the main unit with both hands or use the grip.

.... swing it excessively when using the shoulder strap.

About moisture condensation . . .

You may have observed that pouring a cold liquid into a glass will cause drops of water to form on the glass’ outer surface. This same phenomenon occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it is moved from a cool place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, under extremely humid conditions or in a place directly subjected to the cool air from an air conditioner.

Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage to the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to the camcorder itself.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.
