or humidity.

• in direct sunlight.

• in a dusty environment.

• in an environment where strong magnetic fields

are generated. In addition, do not place TVs or other appliances which tend to generate strong magnetic fields on top of the unit as it may cause picture disturbance.

• on a surface that is unstable or subject to

vibration.

2. DO NOT block the unit’s ventilation openings or holes.

CAUTION:

0 When you are not using the unit for a long period

of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from the mains outlet.

0 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.

0 The mains plug shall remain readily operable.

ATTENTION:

This unit contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases, switch the unit off and unplug the mains power cord. Then plug it in again and turn the unit on. Take out the disc. After checking the disc, operate the unit as usual.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the unit 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. In conditions where condensation may occur, disconnect the unit’s power plug from the wall and keep it disconnected for a few hours to let the moisture dry, then turn on the unit.

DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

JVC shall not be liable for any loss relating to the unit’s failure to properly record, store or playback any content (video, audio or otherwise) for any reason whatsoever. Any applicable warranties shall only cover replacement or repair of the effected unit, and shall not apply to recovery or replacement of lost content.

Precautions during Operation

Getting Started

ATTENTION:

0 The STANDBY/ON button does not completely shut

off mains power from the unit, but switches operating current on and off.

0 When moving the product, press STANDBY/ON to

turn off the power, and wait at least 30 seconds before unplugging the power cord. Then, wait at least 2 minutes before moving the product.

0 When discarding batteries, environmental problems

must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

The HDD will be spinning at high speed whenever this unit is on. So note especially the following points before use.

0 Do not subject to vibration or impact.

Subjecting to excessive impact can cause not only recorded data to be corrupted but also damage to the HDD. Scratches or dirt on the recording side of a disc may prevent proper playback and recording.

0 Do not pull out the power plug from the socket while

this unit is operating.

Cutting off the power suddenly while the HDD is operating can cause not only data corruption but also damage to the HDD. Be sure to turn off the unit before pulling out the power plug.

Effects from mobile phones

Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the unit may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a blue back display.

Do not place objects that generate magnetic fields on top of this unit

Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields. Do not place such appliances on top of the unit as it may cause picture disturbance.

Precautions

If any of the following abnormalities occur, pull out the power plug immediately.

0 When smoke or any strange odour is emitted. 0 When water or any foreign substance enters the

interior.

0 When dropped or damaged. 0 When the power cord is worn.

Switch off the power immediately, then pull out the power plug from the socket. Contact the nearest dealer or service centre. Do not attempt any repairs by yourself.

Do not use with dust or metal particles adhering to the power plug or socket.

0 Heat generation or a short circuit can cause fire or

an electric shock.

0 Pull out the plug and wipe it with a dry cloth every

six months.

Insert the power plug into a socket that is easy to plug into and pull out from.

0 Make sure that if abnormalities should occur in this

unit, the power plug can be pulled out immediately.

Insert the power plug firmly all the way in.

0 Heat generation or a short circuit can cause fire or

an electric shock.

Do not mishandle batteries as follows.

0 Mistaking plus F and minus G. 0 Mixing different types of batteries or those used

before.

0 Short-circuiting the electrodes. 0 Subjecting to heat, dismantling, or putting into

water or fire.

0 Charging.

Misuse can result in injury or fire due to leakage, heat generation, combustion, cracks, etc.

When not using the remote control for an extended period, remove the batteries.

In the event of leakage, wipe the liquid on the battery case off completely. If the liquid gets onto the body or clothes, rinse it off thoroughly with water.

Avoid sticking your hands into the disc tray.

0 It can result in injury. Be careful especially with

small children.

Do not place objects in front of the disc tray.

0 Placing a cup containing hot water in front of the

tray may result in injury or scalds when the tray is opened.

Keep all plastic bags and other packaging out of the reach of small children.

0 Covering over the head with these can cause

suffocation.

Do not place in unstable locations.

0 If placed on a shaky platform or an incline, or where

there is vibration or impact, it can drop or topple over and cause injury.

0 This unit cannot be installed vertically.

Do not put anything into the interior.

0 If something enters the equipment’s interior, it can

result in fire or an electric shock.

Do not dismantle/modify.

0 The interior has high voltage parts, which can

cause fire or an electric shock.

Request an inspection of the interior once a year from the dealer.

0 Using with dust accumulated can result in fire. 0 Conducting it before the rainy season, where

humidity rises, will be more effective.

occurs while this unit is operating. Programmes recorded on the HDD should be dubbed to DVD early as a safeguard against HDD failure.

0 Recorded programmes or data cannot be restored

once the DVD disc or HDD is damaged.
