The STANDBY/ON 1button does not completely
shut off mains power from the unit, but switches
operating current on and off.
This unit is produced to comply with Standard IEC
60065.
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 (10 cm 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 govern-
ing the disposal of these batteries must be followed
strictly.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result
in damage to the player, remote control or video
cassette.
1. DO NOT place the player …
…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 vibra-
tion.
2. DO NOT block the player’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 player or
remote control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of
the player 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 to dripping or splash-
ing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places

lighted candles, on the apparatus.

Beware of moisture condensation

Moisture in the air will condense on the player 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 player’s power turned on for a few hours to let
the moisture dry.

When transporting

■Be sure to remove cassette from player before pack-
ing.
■Avoid violent shocks to the player during packing and
transport.

Video heads cleaning

Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video
heads may cause the playback picture to become
blurred or interrupted. Clean the video heads using a
dry cleaning cassette or be sure to contact your nearest
JVC dealer if such troubles occur.
You can check the video head status by using the Video
Doctor function. See page 24.
