●HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure
that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation
(10cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be
considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of
these batteries must be followed strictly.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage
to the VCR, Remote 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 or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or Remote.

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 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 condensation
may occur, keep the VCR’s power turned on for a few hours to let
the moisture dry.

Before use, insert the lithium
battery — CR2032 —
correctly, with the plus(+)
side up into the battery
compartment. To open it,
press the release tab and
carefully, pull the
compartment out.
The Remote can operate most of your VCR’s functions, as well as
basic functions of JVC TVs.
●Point the Remote towards the remote sensor on the target
component. The maximum operating distance is about 8 m.
●To operate a JVC TV, use any of the following buttons: TV
POWER, TV INPUT, TV CH+/– or TV VOL +/–.
NOTE:
If the Remote does not work properly, remove its battery, wait for a
few seconds, replace the battery and then try again.

●in an environment prone to extreme temperature or humidity.
●in a dusty environment
●flaw, dirt or mold on video tapes
