liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.

7.DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.

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

The remote control can operate most of your recorder’s functions, as well as basic functions of TV, cable box, satellite receiver, and DVD sets of JVC and other brands.

●Point the remote control toward the sensor window on the target component.

●The maximum operating distance of the remote control is about 8 m.

NOTES:

●When inserting the batteries, be sure to insert in the correct directions as indicated under the battery cover.

●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”).

ATTENTION

To mobile phone users:

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 generates strong magnetic fields. Do not place such appliance on top of the recorder as it may cause picture disturbance.
