SAFETY FIRST
Safety Precautions
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.
CAUTION
8 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.
8 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
disconnecting 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.
IMPORTANT
8 Please read the various precautions on pages 2 and 3 before installing or operating the recorder.
8 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.
Cassettes marked "S-VHS" and "VHS" can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recordings are possible only
with cassettes marked "S-VHS".
By using the S-VHS ET function, it is possible to record and play back with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes with this recorder.
Cassettes marked "Mini DV" can be used with the DV deck of this recorder. The DV deck can play back and record only PAL signals.

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to
allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear.)
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws
governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
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 or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able
to get out.)
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.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also DO NOT place any containers
filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top
of this unit.
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.
8. 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.
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"
The STANDBY/ON
1 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.
