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.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION 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.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the VCR, Remote 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 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 VCR or Remote.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the VCR or Remote.
(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 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 condensation may occur, keep the VCR turned
on for a few hours to let the moisture evaporate.
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.
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.
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" (A page 54).
· 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 (A
page 30).
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.
On placing the VCR:
Some TVs or other appliances generates strong magnetic fields. Do not place such appliance on top of the VCR as it may cause
picture disturbance.
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)
