Safety Precautions

SAFETY FIRST

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.

IMPORTANT

Please read the various precautions on page 2 and 3 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.

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.

IMPORTANT

Connection to the mains supply in the United Kingdom. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to

reach a power point, then obtain a proper safety approved extension lead/adapter or consult your dealer.

In the unlikely event of the plug fuse failing be sure to replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If the fuse fails again consult your nearest JVC dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply. If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow the instructions given below: DO NOT make any connection to the Larger Terminal coded E or Green. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue to N (Neutral) or Black Brown to L (Live) or Red

If these colours do not correspond with the terminal identifications of your plug, connect as follows: Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured Black. Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red.

If in doubt – consult a competent electrician.

The STANDBY/ON 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 singlespeed video recorder.

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.

Safety Precautions

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.

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.

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.)

DO NOT place heavy objects on the recorder or remote control.

3. 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.)

DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.

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.

DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.

AVOID violent shocks to the recorder during transport.

Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe Use Of Equipment

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnec-

tions between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your

equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment. DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is

damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is

designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the require-

ments of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing. DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws – to ensure complete safety

always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL...

– NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in

the case – this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

– NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind – it is better to be safe than sorry!

Effective angle:

approx.

approx. 60°

Point the remote control directly at the remote sensor.

Change the custom code for remote control

If you operate this DVD/VCR with another JVC’s VCR simultaneously arranging them side by side, the both recorders will react to this remote control. In this case, you can change the remote control and DVD/VCR to other frequency (“ ”). Then you can operate only this DVD/VCR with this changed remote control. When you purchased, the DVD/VCR and remote control have been set to the frequency-“ ”.

Playback connection

The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the DVD/VCR is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the Owner's Manual provided with each component for the location of SCART socket.

You may connect to an AV Amplifier with an Optical digital cable (not supplied) instead of a Coaxial digital cable.

When you connect the optical digital cable (not supplied), remove the dust protection cap from the rear panel. When not using the optical digital cable, attach the dust protection cap to protect against dust.

NOTES:

• The OPTICAL, COAXIAL jacks are useful only for DVD section. VHS signal is output only from the SCART-sockets, AUDIO L/R jacks and RF OUT jack.

• When you make the connections above, do not set DOLBY DIGITAL to DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS to ON on the AV Amplifier. If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

• DTS audio will be output only from the COAXIAL output. To hear DTS audio, DTS-Decoder is necessary. When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analogue stereo outputs.

• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.
