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:

This Player contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases, switch the power off and unplug the power cord. Then plug it in again and switch on. Take out the cassette. After checking the cassette, operate the unit as usual.

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.

Note when connecting the sound output to the input of a TV or VCR: If an excessively strong signal is given to a unit through a microphone, for example when using Karaoke, it may cause an adverse effect such as distorted sound. Lower the sound volume using the microphone control.

Karaoke etiquette

Be aware of your neighbors when enjoying karaoke music. Particularly late at night, the sound you enjoy may reach your neighbors more than you expect. Common sense and courtesy are always appreciated.
