SAFETY FIRST

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.

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.

5. 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.

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.

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 record-

ing, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary,

dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.

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.

NOTES:

Auto channel set function takes place first; it assigns automati-

cally all receivable stations in your area.

Auto clock set function sets the clock automatically by

reading the clock setting data from a station transmitting a

PDC signal while auto channel set is being performed.

During auto channel set, the recorder recognizes each station

name of the detected stations and stores them in the

recorder's memory, then automatically sets SHOWVIEW

assigned Guide Program number for those stations according

to the broadcast area.

In the area where no TV station transmits a PDC signal, the

recorder can perform neither auto clock set nor auto Guide

Program number set.

For RF connection users: The video recorder detects the

channels which are not occupied by local stations and selects

one channel automatically for your Video Channel that is

located in the middle of more than 5 vacant channels.

If there is a power cut, or if you press

or MENU while Auto

Set Up is in progress, Auto Set Up will be interrupted; be sure

to turn off the recorder power once and try again from step 1.

Auto clock may not function properly depending on the

reception condition.
