Caution on Replaceable lithium battery
The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C or incinerate.
Replace battery with CR2032. Panasonic (Matsushita Electric) or Maxell is recommended.
Danger of explosion or Risk of fire if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
䡲 Dispose of used battery promptly.
䡲 Keep away from children.
䡲 Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.
● Cassettes marked “VHS” (or “S-VHS”) can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recordings is not possible with this model.
● This model is equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) that makes it possible to play back S-VHS recordings with regular VHS resolution.
● HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation
(10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
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’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
How to use the Remote
Before use, insert the lithium battery — CR2032 — correctly, with the plus(+) side up into the battery compartment. To open it, press the release tab and carefully, pull the compartment out.
Release tab
The Remote can operate most of your VCR’s functions, as well as basic functions of JVC TVs.
● Point the Remote towards the remote sensor on the target component. The maximum operating distance is about 8 m.
● To operate a JVC TV, use any of the following buttons: TV
POWER, TV INPUT, TV CH+/– or TV VOL +/–.
NOTE:
If the Remote does not work properly, remove its battery, wait for a few seconds, replace the battery and then try again.
Video heads cleaning
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 dry cleaning cassette — TCL-2 — when:
● Rough, poor picture appears while a tape is played back.
● The picture is unclear or no picture appears.
● “USE CLEANING CASSETTE” appears on the screen (only with
“SUPERIMPOSE” set to “ON”) (
墌 pg. 14).
ATTENTION
To mobile phone user:
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 generate strong magnetic fields.
● Make sure to place the VCR at least 20 cm (7 or 8 inches) away from a TV.
● DO NOT place the VCR close to a TV as it may cause noise, picture disturbance or malfunctions (power off, etc.) to occur.
