Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing the JVC VHS video cassette recorder. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions contained on this page to ensure safe use of your new VCR.
CAUTIONS
WARNING:
WARNING:
DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
The POWER button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches operating current on and off.
This unit is produced to comply with Standard IEC Publ. 65.
POWER SYSTEM:
This set operates on voltage of AC 110 – 220V ` , 50/60 Hz with automatic switching.
Use the conversion plug (provided) depending on the type of your AC WALL outlet.
The rating plate and safety caution are on the rear of the unit.
IMPORTANT:
It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.
CAUTION n When you are not using the VCR for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
n
Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified service personnel. To prevent electric shock or fire hazard, remove the power cord from the AC outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal lead or aerial.
n
Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void user's authority to operate the equipment.
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.
**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.

NOTES:
● You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes you want to edit in steps 7 – 8. Since you can hear the soundtrack during selection, you can avoid abrupt or unnatural sounding scene-to-scene transitions.
● When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the source tape between the locations you chose as edit-in/out points and the locations the VCR recognizes as those points.
● For any scene, the edit-out point must have a counter reading that is at least 1 second after the corresponding edit-in point. Any less than 1 second and the edit-out point will not be registered.
● Since the source VCR prerolls during Random Assemble
Editing, there must be at least 15 seconds worth of recorded material prior to any edit-in point on the source tape.
● If the search time for an edit-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording deck enters its Stop mode and editing will not take place.
To Make Corrections . . .
. . . during step 7 or 8, you can cancel registered in and out points by pressing CANCEL on the remote control. Each time you press, the preceding point is erased.
● If, for example, you have registered 5 sets of in and out points and want to reset the first set, you have to press CANCEL until all points after the first set have been erased. Reenter them after you've repaired the first set of points.
Memory Capacity
Random Assemble Editing shares memory space with the VCR's timer. If there are programs occupied by timer-recording data, those spaces cannot be used to register edit-in and -out points — meaning you won't be able to edit

2. The channel can’t be changed.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
● Those channels have been preset to be skipped.
●
Recording is in progress.
3. The remote control won’t operate my TV.
● The TV/VCR switch is set to a position other than TV.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Check or re-perform the clock/timer settings to ensure correctness.
Press TIMER and check to make sure that TIMER appears on the front display panel.
Re-perform the set-up procedures.
Timer programming can’t be performed when timer recording is in progress.
Wait until it finishes.
Load a cassette with the record safety tab intact, or with the hole covered with adhesive tape.
Remove the cassette and cover its hole with adhesive tape, or replace it with a cassette on which the safety tab is intact.
Check the programmed data and reprogram as necessary, then press
TIMER again.
The program may not have been recorded in its entirety. Next time make sure you have enough time on the tape to record the entire program.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
If you need the skipped channels, restore them (
Z
pg. 9).
Press PAUSE to pause the recording, change channels, then press PLAY to resume recording.
Set the switch to TV.
ATTENTION:
This recorder contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases, switch the power off and unplug the power cord. Then plug it in again and switch power on. Take out the cassette. After checking the cassette, operate the unit as usual.
