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

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.

WARNING

There are two different types of SECAM colour systems: SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called SECAM-West), and SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called SECAM-East).

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

2.Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on a video recorder of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on a PAL video recorder with SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAMcompatible).

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

4.This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.

IMPORTANT

Please read the various precautions on pages 1 and 2 before installing or operating the recorder.

It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record prerecorded 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.

For Italy:

“It is declared that this product, brand JVC, conforms to the Ministry Decree n. 548 of 28 Aug.’95 published in the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic n. 301 of 28 Dec.’95”

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 “ ! ” 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.

— 1 —

Release tab

Cassettes marked “VHS” (or “S-VHS”) can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recording is not possible with this model.

This model is equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) that makes it possible to play back S-VHS recordings in the SP mode with regular VHS resolution.

HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.

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 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 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 recorder or remote control.

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

(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 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 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 recorder’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

How to use the remote control

Before use, insert the lithium battery — CR2032 — correctly, with the plus(+) side up into the battery

compartment. To open it, press the release tab and carefully,

pull the compartment out. The remote control can

operate most of your recorder’s functions, as well as basic functions of JVC TVs.

Point the remote control towards the remote sensor on the target component. The maximum operating distance is about 8 m.

To operate a JVC TV, use any of the following buttons: TV 1,

TV , TV PR +/– or TV %+/–.

NOTE:

If the remote control does not work properly, remove its battery, wait for a few seconds, replace the battery and then try again.

Caution on Replaceable lithium battery

The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C or incinerate.

Replace battery with CR2032. Panasonic (Matsushita Electric) or Maxell is recommended.

Danger of explosion or Risk of fire if the battery is incorrectly replaced.

Dispose of used battery promptly.

Keep away from children.

Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.

Video heads cleaning

The heads get dirty in the following cases:

in an environment prone to extreme temperature or humidity

in a dusty environment

flaw, dirt or mold on video tapes

continuous usage for a long time

Use a dry cleaning cassette — TCL-2 — when:

Rough, poor picture appears while a tape is played back.

The picture is unclear or no picture appears.

“USE CLEANING CASSETTE” appears on the screen (only with “O.S.D.” set to “ON” ( 12)).

Usable cassettes

● Compact VHS camcorder recordings can be played on this recorder. Simply place the recorded cassette into a VHS Cassette Adapter and it can be used just like any full-sized VHS cassette.

This recorder is equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) that lets you watch tapes recorded in the S-VHS format and the SP mode with regular VHS resolution.

*SQPB does not deliver Super VHS resolution.

This recorder can record on regular VHS and Super VHS cassettes. However, it will record regular VHS signals only.

*S-VHS recording is not possible with this recorder.

ATTENTION:

TO MOBILE PHONE USER:

Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the recorder may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a blue back display.

ON PLACING THE RECORDER:

Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields. DO NOT place such appliance on top of the recorder as it may cause picture disturbance.
