Importants
• Video tapes recorded with this Player in the LP (Long Play)
or EP (Extended Play) mode cannot be played back on a
single-speed video recorder.
• It may be unlawful to record or playback copyrighted material
without the consent of the copyright owner.
Beware of 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.
Special note on head cleaning
Precautions
Please follow these precautions. Not doing so may result
in damage to the Player, remote control, or video cassette.
• Avoid extreme heat and direct sunlight.
• Avoid extreme cold.
• Avoid extreme humidity.
• Avoid dust.
• Avoid places subject to vibrations.
• Avoid strong magnetic fields.
• Do not block the Player's ventilation openings.
• Do not place anything heavy on the Player or remote
control.
• Do not Place anything which might spill on top of the
Player or remote control.
• Do not place the Player on cushions, pillows, or thick
carpeting.
• Use the Player in a stable, horizontal position only.
• Place cassettes in cassette cases and store vertically.
When transporting
m Be sure to remove cassette and CD from Player before
packing.
m Avoid violent shocks to the Player during packing and
transport.
Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads may
cause the playback picture to become blurred or interrupted.
Although this model is equipped with a built-in head cleaner
which automatically cleans the heads, reducing the likelihood of
dirty heads, if such troubles are encountered please consult the
nearest JVC dealer.
Auto Head Cleaner
A built-in head cleaner automatically cleans the video heads
and head drum whenever a tape is loaded or unloaded to
reduce head clogging.
ATTENTION:

General Information
Care and handling of compact discs
How to handle CDs
When handling a compact disc, do not touch the surface of the
disc (reflective silver side –– the side without the label).
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the
sound will not be picked up correctly and, in addition, such a disc
may cause the CD player to malfunction.
Even on label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive
on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled
one on top of another without their protective cases, they can be
damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe it
with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with
water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any antistatic agents.
Which compact discs can be used?
Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The
Video CD Player can play the following compact discs:
• Video CD
for audio and video (moving picture) reproduction, including multiplex sound.
• Video CD with Playback Control function
featuring menu-type operation and superfine still pictures for audio and video (moving
picture) reproduction, including multiplex
sound.
• CD Graphics (CD-G)
for audio and video (still picture) reproduction, including multiplex sound.
• Digital Audio CD, including single discs
for audio reproduction.
CDs you can't play back
Do not play back CD-ROMs on this equipment. Doing so may
generate a noise which can damage your speakers.
Using the remote control
The remote control is ready to use when its batteries are
installed properly.
To use it, point its infrared light-emitting window toward the
display window of the player and press a button. The operating
range of the remote control is up to about seven meters in front
of the player and within about 30 degrees to each side –– with
nothing between the remote control and the player interrupting
the beam path.
If pressing a button on the remote control does not produce any
response, check to make sure it is pointed correctly and try
again. If it still does not function, check the batteries.
PlayBack
Control
'
'
CAUTION
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled.
This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to
industry standards.)
These symptom are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the Player.
