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"
SAFETY FIRST
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.
Safety Precautions
Cassettes marked "D-VHS", "S-VHS" and "VHS" can be used
with this video cassette recorder. However, D-VHS recordings
are possible only with cassettes marked "D-VHS".
D-VHS is a new digital memory system that uses D-VHS
tapes. D-VHS was developed as a memory system for
multimedia applications that require storage for large
volumes of information, such as for digital video.
SHOWVIEW is a registered trademark of Gemstar Development
Corporation. The SHOWVIEW system is manufactured under
licence from Gemstar Development Corporation.
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 discon-
necting 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 SECAM-
compatible).
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.
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.
MTP
PAL
CAUTION
To avoid electric shock or damage to the unit, first
firmly insert the small end of the mains power
cord into the recorder until it is no longer wobbly,
and then plug the larger end of the mains power
cord into a mains outlet.
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 disconnect-
ing any signal lead or aerial.

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.
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.
5. 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 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.
ABOUT HEAD CLEANING
After an extended period of use, the video heads can become dirty, resulting in a loss of picture or sound during
playback. If this happens, clean the video heads by using the optional cleaning tapes.
Symptoms of dirty video heads:
The picture is not clear, or does not appear.
There is no sound.
Mosaic (block) noise appears in the picture.
Black or mosaic horizontal stripes appear in the
picture.
The picture stops (as if the tape is paused).
A blank black or blue screen appears.
The picture is fuzzy. (VHS playback)
Use a cleaning tape designed specifically for D-VHS video heads (JVC D-VHS video head cleaner DFC-2) to clean the video heads.
In order to avoid misoperation, set "NAVIGATION" to "OFF" (
pg. 39).
Follow the instructions that are provided with the cleaning tape.
If you still do not get a clear picture after using a cleaning tape:
The heads may be worn. Contact your nearest JVC dealer.
During VHS playback, if there is a tracking problem, the picture may appear fuzzy. Adjust the tracking manually (
pg. 17).
The STANDBY/ON
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.

AV1 INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL SELECTION FOR AV CONNECTION
The AV1 IN/OUT connector accepts and delivers either a composite signal (regular video signal) or a Y/C signal (a signal in
which the luminance and chrominance signals are separated). For input signal selection, select "VIDEO" (regular video signal) or
"S-VIDEO" (Y/C signal) for "AV1 SELECT" setting (
pg. 54). For output signal selection, use AV1 OUT switch of the rear panel.
If your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is compatible only with the regular video signal, set this switch to COMP.
If your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is compatible with the Y/C signal, set this switch to Y/C. You can obtain high-
quality S-VHS pictures. (For connection, be sure to use a 21-pin SCART cable that is compatible with the Y/C signal.)
NOTES:
Set your TV to the VIDEO (or AV), Y/C, or RGB mode according to the type of your TV's SCART connector.
For switching the TV's mode, refer to the instruction manual of your television.
To obtain high-quality S-VHS pictures, you can also use the S-VIDEO CONNECTION described on page 5.
