SAFETY FIRST
IMPORTANT
Please read the various precautions on page 2 and 3 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 recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary,
dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.
Safety Precautions
Cassettes marked "S-VHS" and "VHS" can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recordings are possible only
with cassettes marked "S-VHS".
SHOWVIEW is a registered trademark of Gemstar Development Corporation. The SHOWVIEW system is manufactured under licence
from Gemstar Development Corporation.
CAUTION
When you are not using the recorder for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the
power cord from the mains outlet.
Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified service personnel. To prevent electric shock or
fire hazard, remove the power cord from the mains outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal lead
or aerial.
WARNING
There are two different types of SECAM colour systems: SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called SECAM-West),
and SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called SECAM-East).
1. This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television signals for recording and playback.
2. Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on a video
recorder of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour 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.
The rating plate and the safety caution are on the rear of the unit.
WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.

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.
The STANDBY/ON

For Italy:
"It is declared that this product, brand JVC, conforms to the Ministry Decree n. 548 of 28 Aug.'95 published in the
Official Gazette of the Italian Republic n. 301 of 28 Dec.'95"

After you plug the mains power cord into a mains outlet, the
Country Set display appears on the TV screen and/or on the
recorder's front display panel when the
button on the
recorder/remote control is pressed for the first time to power
on the recorder; go to page 6 to perform Auto Set Up.
Make AV connection if your TV has a 21-pin AV input
connector (SCART) in order to reduce the possibility of
interference. And if you are using a stereo TV, you will need
this cable in order to enjoy stereo playback of videotapes.
AV1 INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL SELECTION FOR AV CONNECTION
The AV1 IN/OUT connector accepts and delivers either a composite signal (regular video signal) or a Y/C signal (a signal in
which the luminance and chrominance signals are separated). For input signal selection, select "VIDEO" (regular video signal) or
"S-VIDEO" (Y/C signal) for "AV1 SELECT" setting (
pg. 44). For output signal selection, use AV1 OUT switch of the rear panel.
If your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is compatible only with the regular video signal, set this switch to COMP.
If your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is compatible with the Y/C signal, set this switch to Y/C. You can obtain high-
quality S-VHS pictures. (For connection, be sure to use a 21-pin SCART cable that is compatible with the Y/C signal.)
NOTES:
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.
To obtain high-quality S-VHS pictures, you can also use the S-VIDEO CONNECTION described on page 5.
