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

nWhen 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.

nDangerous 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.

ATTENTION

1.This recorder can also receive SECAM colour television signals for recording and playback.

2.Recordings made of SECAM television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on another video recorder of SECAM standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on another video recorder of PAL standard.

3.SECAM prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a SECAM video recorder produce monochrome pictures when played back with this recorder.

POWER SYSTEM

This set operates on voltage of AC110 – 240 V`(Rating), AC90 – 260 V` (Operating), 50/60 Hz with automatic switching.

PAL

nOnly cassettes marked "VHS" can be used with this videorecorder.

nHQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.

nCertain audio features of this product manufactured under a license from Desper Products, Inc. Spatializert is a trademark owned by Desper Products, Inc.

nSHOWVIEW is a registered trademark of Gemstar Development Corporation. The SHOWVIEW system is manufactured under licence from Gemstar Development Corporation.

IMPORTANT

nPlease read the various precautions on this page before installing or operating the recorder.

nIt should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded 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.

The STANDBY/ON 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.

Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-speed video recorder.

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.

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.

5.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 in 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 turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

ABOUT HEAD 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.

			on the screen for about 5 seconds. Pressing
			SPATIALIZER while the screen shows the display
			changes the setting.
			c To view a stereo programme such as movies or
			music, select "SPATIALIZER							" to create more
			spacious sound.

			"SPATIALIZER[ST" which simulates a stereo effect.
		c Select "SPATIALIZER OFF" to turn off SpatializerW if
			the sound becomes unnatural with either
			"SPATIALIZER				" or "SPATIALIZER[ST" selected.
		c If your TV is equipped with 3D-PHONIC and if you
			use both SpatializerW and 3D-PHONIC at the same
			time, the sound may become unnatural; set either
			function to "OFF".

Remote A/B Code Switching

The remote control is capable of controlling two JVC video recorders independently; one set to respond to the remote control’s A code control signals and another set to respond to B code control signals. The remote control is preset to send A code signals because your video recorder is initially set to respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your video recorder to respond to B code signals.

			Unplug the mains power cord from the mains outlet.
	2		SET A/B CODE SWITCH
			Set to B.
	3		RE-SUPPLY POWER
			Plug the mains power cord back into the mains outlet.
	4		TURN THE RECORDER ON
			Press			on the remote control. The recorder will now
			only respond to B code signals.
