cautions in this User Guide, as well as the following safety suggestions. To prevent electric
shock or injury, follow these safety instructions in the installation, use, and servicing the unit.
1.4.2 Installation
Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may result
in the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbasin,
kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, water spa, or the like.
Heat - Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating vents, stoves, or other
appliances that generate heat. Also, do not place this product in temperature environments
greater than 45oC (104oF).
Mounting Surface - If not installing the unit in a standard equipment rack using the
recommended mounting brackets, place the unit on a flat, even surface. Do not place the unit on
an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall causing serious injury to a
person and/or serious damage to the appliance.
Portable Cart - An appliance and cart combination should be moved with extreme care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
Ventilation - Locate the unit with adequate space around it so that proper heat ventilation is
assured. Allow 10 cm (4 in) clearance from the rear and top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in) from
each side.
Slots and openings in the unit's case are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of
the unit and to prevent overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by operating the unit while placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or
similar surface. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless
adequate ventilation is provided.
Entry of Foreign Objects and Liquids - Never push foreign objects of any kind into this unit
through the ventilation slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-circuit
electrical/electronic parts that could result in fire, or electric shock, or both. Never spill liquid of
any kind onto the unit.
Electric Power - Only operate the unit from the type of electric power source indicated on the
unit's labeling. If you are not sure of the type of power supply that is available in your home or
workplace, consult your appliance supplier or local power company.
Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided with a 3-pin, grounded, alternating current line
plug. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. Do not try to
defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

Power Cord Protection - Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by placing items upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
Overloading - Do not overload wall power outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Lightning - For added protection for this unit during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet. This will
prevent damage to the unit due to lightning or power surges.
1.4.3 Maintenance
Cleaning - Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Only use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use
strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or paint thinner.
Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this unit from the power outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled or foreign objects have fallen into the unit.
• If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the unit does not operate normally, following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and may require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the unit to normal operation.
• If the unit has been dropped or the case has been damaged.
• When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for
service.
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

The JVC HR-1080-PRO also performs a number of useful signal processing functions such as
high-quality video scaling, switching, extreme keystone correction and audio delay, thus
eliminating the requirement for stand-alone scalers or audio delay units within your system.
The JVC HR-1080-PRO offers access to a truly wide range of signal inputs – everything from
SDTV (composite, S-Video and component) to HD-SDI and all popular video and computer
graphics signals in between (including analog RGB, DVI, and HDMI) may be selected as inputs.
The JVC HR-1080-PRO provides video output in HDMI, DVI and analog RGB formats on
dedicated connectors.
All this functionality can be controlled through a simple 20-button IR remote control unit (see
Figure 5). Simple navigation keys bring access to a simple, yet elegant OSD (On Screen
Display). Video input device selection is accomplished using dedicated IR remote buttons.
Access to the HQV features is also provided through dedicated IR remote buttons. Also, JVC HR-1080-PRO provides the professional user with flexible control methodologies of RS-232,
USB and Ethernet. For details on the control programming protocol, refer to the JVC HR-1080-PRO Service Manual.
The JVC HR-1080-PRO video processor is available in a compact and attractive desktop
package that can be rapidly fitted to a standard 19” rack using a rack mounting kit (included).
