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 interrupted. Be sure to contact
your nearest JVC dealer if such troubles occur.

signal or a Y/C signal (a signal in which the luminance and chrominance signals are separated) according to the setting of the
rear panel AV1 OUT switch.

If your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is compatible with the Y/C signal, set this switch to Y/C. You will better enjoy
high-quality S-VHS pictures.

Set your TV to the VIDEO (or AV), Y/C, or RGB mode according to the type of your TV's SCART connector.
For switching the TV's mode, refer to the instruction manual of your television.
