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 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 recorder or remote 

control.

4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the 

recorder or remote control.

(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 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 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 recorder’s power turned on for a few hours to 

let the moisture dry.

How to use the remote control

The remote control can operate most of your recorder’s functions, 

as well as basic functions of TV, cable box, satellite receiver, and 

DVD sets of JVC and other brands.

Point the remote control toward the sensor window on the 

target component.

The maximum operating distance of the remote control is about 

8 m.

NOTES:

When inserting the batteries, be sure to insert in the correct 

directions as indicated under the battery cover.

If the remote control does not work properly, remove its batteries, 

wait for a few seconds, replace the batteries 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 

“O.S.D.” set to “ON” (

10)).

ATTENTION

To mobile phone user:

Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the recorder may cause 

picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a 

blue back display.

On placing the recorder:

Some TVs  or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields.

Do not place such appliance on top of the recorder as it may 

cause picture disturbance.
