Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing the JVC VHS video cassette recorder. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions
contained in the following pages to ensure safe use of your new VCR.

time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power
cord from the mains outlet.

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 condensation may occur, keep the
VCR's power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry
before inserting a tape.
**ABOUT HEAD CLEANING
Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads
may cause the playback picture to become blurred or
interrupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such
troubles occur.
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION:
This video cassette recorder should be used with AC
110V`, 60Hz only.
To prevent electric shocks and fire hazards, DO NOT use
any other power source.
IMPORTANT
Please read the various precautions on this page 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
