Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing the JVC VHS video cassette recorder. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions contained in the following pages to ensure safe use of your new VCR.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

This video cassette recorder should be used with AC 110V`, 60Hz only. To prevent electric shocks and fire hazards, DO NOT use any other power source.

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.

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.

damage to the VCR, remote control 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.

3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or remote control.

4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the VCR or remote control.

5. 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 let the moisture dry before inserting a tape.

**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.

IMPORTANT

 Please read the various precautions on this page before

installing or operating the recorder.

 It 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.
