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

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
Before use, insert the Lithium battery (CR 2032) in the correct
directions as indicated back of the remote control. The remote
control can operate most of your recorder’s functions, as well as
basic functions of JVC TV sets.
● Point the remote control toward the receiving window on the
recorder.
● The maximum operating distance of the remote control is about
7.5 m.
● To operate your JVC TV, press the corresponding button:
TV 1, TV , TV PR +/, TV %+/ (TV Volume).
NOTE:
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
Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads may
cause the playback picture to become blurred or interrupted. Be
sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such troubles occur.
Usable cassettes
● Compact VHS camcorder recordings can
be played on this recorder. Simply place
the recorded cassette into a VHS Cassette
Adapter and it can be used just like any
full-sized VHS cassette.
● This recorder can record on regular VHS and Super VHS
cassettes. However, it will record and play back regular VHS
signals only. It is not possible to play back a recorded Super
VHS cassette.

picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a
blue back display.
On placing the recorder:
