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.

3. DO NOT leave the unit . . .

...... in places of over 50°C (122°F).

...... in places where humidity is extremely low (below

35%) or extremely high (above 80%).

...... in direct sunlight.

...... in a closed car in summer.

...... near a heater.

4. To protect the unit, DO NOT . . .

...... allow it to become wet.

...... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.

...... subject it to shock or excessive vibration during

transportation.

...... keep the lens directed at extremely bright objects

for long periods.

...... direct the eyepiece of the viewfinder at the sun.

...... carry it by holding the viewfinder.

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

5.This camcorder features a built-in head cleaner which automatically cleans the heads and head drum when a cassette is loaded or unloaded. If, however, the heads become dirty and cause blurriness or interruption in the playback picture, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

About moisture condensation . . .

You 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.

Main Unit

...... open the camcorder’s chassis.

...... 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.

2. Avoid using the unit . . .

...... in places subject to excessive humidity or dust.

...... in places subject to soot or steam such as near a

cooking stove.

...... in places subject to excessive shock or vibration.

...... near a television set.

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

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