information and precautions to ensure safe use of your new
VCR.
CAUTION
WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
The
1
button does not completely shut off mains power
from the unit, but switches operating current on and off. “
shows electrical power standby and “
This unit is produced to comply with Standard IEC 60065.
POWER SYSTEM:
This set operates on voltage of AC 110 V – 220 Vd, 60 Hz
with automatic switching.
The rating plate and safety caution are on the rear of the unit.
IMPORTANT
It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted
material without the consent of the copyright owner.
CAUTION
● When you are not using the VCR for a long period of time,
it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet.
● Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to
qualified service personnel. To prevent electric shock or
fire hazard, remove the power cord from the AC outlet
prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal lead or
aerial.
● Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
!
” shows ON.
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 VCR, Remote or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the VCR ...
... 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 VCR’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 VCR or Remote.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the VCR
or Remote.
(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 VCR during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR 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 VCR’s power turned on for a
few hours to evaporate the moisture before inserting a tape.
