Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the unit, remote control or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the unit…
… 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 unit’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 unit or remote control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the unit 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 unit during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the unit 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 unit turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
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.

ATTENTION
To mobile phone users:
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the unit may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a gray back
display.
On placing the unit:
Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields.
Do not place such appliances on top of the unit as it may cause picture disturbance.

Use a cleaning tape designed specifically for D-VHS video heads (JVC D-VHS video head cleaner DFC-2) to clean the video heads.
● In order to avoid misoperation, set “NAVIGATION” to “OFF” (੬ page 25).
● Follow the instructions that are provided with the cleaning tape.
If you still do not get a clear picture after using a cleaning tape:
● The heads may be worn. Contact your nearest JVC dealer.
● During VHS playback, if there is a tracking problem, the picture may appear fuzzy. Adjust the tracking manually (੬ page 10).
ABOUT HEAD CLEANING
After an extended period of use, the video heads can become dirty, resulting in a loss of picture or sound during playback. If this
happens, clean the video heads by using the optional cleaning tapes.
