SAFETY FIRST
Safety Precautions
The rating plate and the safety caution are on the rear of the unit.
WARNING:DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE
WARNING:TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION
When you are not using the recorder for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from the mains outlet.
Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified service personnel. To prevent electric shock or fire hazard, remove the power cord from the mains outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal lead or aerial.
WARNING
There are two different types of SECAM colour systems: SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called SECAM-West), and SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called SECAM-East).
1.This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television signals for recording and playback.
2.Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on a video recorder of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on a PAL video recorder with SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAMcompatible).
3.SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome pictures when played back with this recorder.
4.This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.
IMPORTANT
Please read the various precautions on page 1 and 2 before installing or operating the recorder.
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record prerecorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.
●Cassettes marked “VHS” (or “S-VHS”) can be used with this video cassette recorder, however, only VHS signals can be played back and recorded.
●HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.
●SHOWVIEW is a registered trademark of Gemstar Development Corporation. The SHOWVIEW system is manufactured under licence from Gemstar Development Corporation.

For Italy:
“It is declared that this product, brand JVC, conforms to the Ministry Decree n. 548 of 28 Aug.’95 published in the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic n. 301 of 28 Dec.’95”
The STANDBY/ON 1 button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches operating current on and off. “`” shows electrical power standby and “ ! ” shows ON.
For HR-V505/V506/V507E owners:
Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-speed video recorder.
For HR-V205/V206E owners:
Video tapes recorded with another recorder in the LP (Long Play) mode cannot be played back on this video recorder.
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 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 recorder …
…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 to dripping or splashing.
6.DO NOT use this equipment in 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
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.
ATTENTION:
To mobile phone users:
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the recorder may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a blue back display.
On placing the recorder:
Some TVs or other appliances generates strong magnetic fields. Do not place such appliance on top of the recorder as it may cause picture disturbance.

NOTES:
About NTSC Playback
●Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, or cut off the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays. This is not a malfunction.
●The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected if your TV has the V-HOLD control function.
●The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
●During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.
