G-CODE and SHOWVIEW are different trademarks used to
represent the same easy recording feature. However, for
simplicity, only the term G-CODE will be used in the
instructions. If you use SHOWVIEW system, follow the same steps
listed for the G-CODE system (For HR-V600AG only).
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 recorder, remote control or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the r ecorder ...
... 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 recorder’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 recorder or remote
control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the
recorder or remote control.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or
electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus t o dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment i n a bathroom or places with
water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or
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
8m.
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” (10)).
