Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

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 surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensa- tion may occur, keep the VCR’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry before inserting 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.

CAUTION:

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void user's authority to operate the equipment.

■Cassettes marked "VHS" (or "S-VHS") can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, only "VHS" recordings can be played back in this model.

■HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.

The JVC HR-A63U and HR-A43U are part of JVC's lineup of high-performance VHS VCRs, designed to deliver exceptional video and audio quality. These models leverage JVC's extensive expertise in video technology to enhance the home entertainment experience.

One of the standout features of the JVC HR-A63U is its Hi-Fi audio capability. This feature allows for improved sound reproduction, resulting in clearer and more dynamic audio compared to standard mono soundtracks found in older VCRs. The Hi-Fi stereo tracks are embedded within the VHS tape, providing users with a more immersive viewing experience.

Both the HR-A63U and HR-A43U include various playback functionalities that cater to different user needs. The models support a variety of tape formats, including standard VHS and S-VHS, allowing for compatibility with a range of recordings. The HR-A63U also has a built-in digital noise reduction feature, which helps to mitigate grainy video quality and enhances the overall image clarity during playback.

In terms of design, the units are compact and user-friendly. The front panel includes an intuitive layout with well-placed controls, making it easy to operate even for those less familiar with VCR technology. The tape loading mechanism is designed for smooth loading and ejection, ensuring convenience.

A key characteristic of both models is their timer recording functionality. This allows users to schedule recordings in advance, making it easy to capture favorite shows or movies without the need for manual operation during the broadcast. The HR-A63U also features a remote control for additional convenience, enabling users to navigate through menus and control playback from a distance.

Connectivity options are also noteworthy. The VCRs typically come equipped with standard RCA outputs, allowing for easy connection to televisions and other external devices. The S-Video output on the HR-A63U provides an additional option for enhanced picture quality when connecting to compatible equipment.

In summary, the JVC HR-A63U and HR-A43U are well-crafted VCRs that incorporate advanced features and technologies aimed at providing high-quality audio and video playback.
