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.
