Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing the JVC VHS video cassette recorder. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions
contained on this page to ensure safe use of your new VCR.
CAUTIONS
WARNING:
DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
damage to the VCR, remote control or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the VCR . . .
... 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 VCR's ventilation openings.
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or remote control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the
VCR or remote control.
5. AVOID violent shocks to the VCR during transport.
**MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR 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 condensa-
tion may occur, keep the VCR's power turned on for a few
hours to let the moisture dry.
**ABOUT HEAD CLEANING
Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads
may cause the playback picture to become blurred or inter-
rupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such
troubles occur.
The POWER button does not completely shut off mains power
from the unit, but switches operating current on and off.
This unit is produced to comply with Standard IEC Publ. 65.
POWER SYSTEM:
This set operates on voltage of AC 110 ­ 220V`, 50/60 Hz
with automatic switching.
Use the conversion plug (provided) depending on the type
of your AC WALL outlet.
Cassettes marked "VHS" (or "S-VHS") can be used with this
video cassette recorder. However, only "VHS" recordings can
be played back in this model.
HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.
HOW TO USE THIS INSTRUCTION
MANUAL
All major sections and subsections are listed in the Table
Of Contents on page 3. Use this when searching for
information on a specific procedure or feature.
The Index on pages 35­37 lists frequently-used terms,
and the number of the first page on which they are used
or explained in the manual. This section also illustrates
the controls and connections on the front and rear panel,
the front display panel and the remote control.
The
mark signals a reference to another page for
instructions or related information.
Operation buttons necessary for the various procedures
are clearly indicated through the use of illustrations at
the beginning of each major section.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR NEW
VCR . . .
. . . please read thoroughly the cautions on this page.
The rating plate and safety caution are on the rear of the
unit.
IMPORTANT:
It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted
material without the consent of the copyright owner.
CAUTION
When you are not using the VCR for a long period of
time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power
cord from the AC outlet.
Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to
qualified service personnel. To prevent electric shock or fire
hazard, remove the power cord from the AC outlet prior to
connecting or disconnecting any signal lead or aerial.
Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could
void user's authority to operate the equipment.
