Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system

installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that

provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,

specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the

grounding system of the building, as close to the point of

cable entry as practical.

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".

By using S-VHS ET it is possible to record and play back with

S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes with this VCR.

D-VHS is a new digital memory system that uses D-VHS

IMPORTANT PRODUCT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But

improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire

hazards. This product has been engineered and manufactured

to assure your personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in

safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installation,

use and servicing.

ATTENTION:

Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your

product and its operating instructions. For your safety, please

read all the safety and operating instructions before you operate

this product and keep this booklet for future reference.

INSTALLATION

1. Grounding or Polarization

(A) Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the

other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.

This is a safety feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

(B) Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type

plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will

only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety

feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

2. Power Sources

Operate your product only from the type of power source

indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of

power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or

local power company. If your product is intended to operate

from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating

instructions.

3. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or

electric shock.

4. Power Cord Protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely

to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against

them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

5. Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.

To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it

from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or

covered.

· Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed,

sofa, rug or other similar surface.

· Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a

bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the

manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as

recommended by the manufacturer.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the

product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as

to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up

static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper

grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of

the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding

electrode.

2. Lightning

For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,

or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna

or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to

lightning and power-line surges.

3. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity

of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,

or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When

installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be

taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as

contact with them might be fatal.

The heads get dirty in the following cases:

in an environment prone to extreme

temperature or humidity

in a dusty environment

flaw, dirt or mold on video tapes

continuous usage for a long time

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. 43).

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. 23).

ATTENTION:

To mobile phone users:

Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the VCR may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a blue

back display.
