SAFETY FIRST

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

n 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.

n 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.

IMPORTANT

n Please read the various precautions on this page before

installing or operating the recorder.

n 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.

The OPERATE button does not completely shut off mains
power from the unit, but switches operating current on and off.

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.

PAL NTSC

n Only cassettes marked "VHS" can be used with this

videorecorder.
