Introduction
English
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.
Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to
obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual
for future reference.
About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
• This manual mainly explains playback and editing
operations using the remote control, and the other
operations such as recording operations using the
buttons on the unit.
You can use the buttons both on the remote control
and on the main unit for the same operations if they
have the same or similar names (or marks), unless
mentioned otherwise.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent
from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Furthermore, gives you information which
is not good for obtaining the best possible
performance from the unit.
Gives you information and hints you had
better know.
About the built-in HDD
While the unit is turned on, the hard disk is constantly
rotating at a high speed. This requires you to notice the
following:
• DO NOT impart vibration or shock.
• DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism or
emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cellular phones,
etc.) near the unit.
• DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall
outlet when the unit is turned on.
Failure in following the above cautions may damage the
HDD (the stored data will be lost and be never restored).
• Since the HDD has its lifetime, it is strongly
recommended to make a copy of your important
recordings, and keep it using other recording devices.
Power sources
• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always
pull the plug, not the AC power cord.
Precautions
Installation
This unit has a built-in HDD, which is a device to read
minute magnetic changes. The inside of the device is
precision components, requiring you to notice the
following when installing the unit:
• Install the unit at a place where the following conditions
are satisfied:
– Level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between
5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).
– At an altitude between –300 m (–98 ft) below sea level
and + 3048 m (+1000 ft) above sea level.
– With adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat
buildup in the unit.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid
interference with TV.
• DO NOT install the unit in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
• DO NOT place the unit with the side panels
top and bottom.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the
following cases:
• After starting heating in the room
• In a damp room
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in
again.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating
any further.
• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no
user serviceable parts inside.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.

What is AAC?
AAC, licensed by Dolby Laboratories, is high-quality
sound encoding technology, enabling us to compress
sounds without losing the brilliance of the original.
AAC can eliminate over 90 percent of the original
signal data without noticeable sound quality
deterioration.
Even compared to MP3 technology, AAC can provide
higher-quality sound reproduction, with about 30
percent less data volume.
