Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing the JVC VHS video cassette recorder. Before use, please read the safety informa-
tion and precautions contained in the following pages to ensure safe use of your new VCR.
CAUTIONS

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK

HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

This video cassette recorder should be used with DC 12V only.
To prevent electric shocks and fire hazards, DO NOT use
any other power source.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
damage to the VCR, remote control 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.
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or remote
control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the
VCR or remote control.
5. 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 sur-
face of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation
on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In condi-
tions where condensation may occur, keep the VCR’s power
turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry before in-
serting a tape.
**ABOUT HEAD CLEANING
Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads
may cause the playback picture to become blurred or inter-
rupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such
troubles occur.
Cautions on operation
• When the car is parked under the blazing sun or in an
extremely cold place for a long time, wait a while to use
this unit after the temperature of the cabin drops to the
normal temperature.
• Use this unit as the engine is running. If this unit is used as
the engine is stopping, it depletes the car battery and, if
worst comes to worst, the battery fails in starting the en-
gine.
• If this unit is disconnected during operation (playback, fast-
forward, rewind, etc.), it may cause a machine failure.
When disconnecting this unit, be sure to remove the video
cassette from the unit beforehand.
• When the engine key is turned off, this unit is also turned
off at the same time. To operate this unit again, turn it on
once more after starting the engine.
