SAFETY FIRST
Safety Precautions
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.
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 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 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.
● 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”.
By using the S-VHS ET function, it is possible to record and play back with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes with this recorder.
● Cassettes marked “Mini DV” can be used with the DV deck of this recorder. The DV deck can play back and record only PAL signals.
● VIDEO Plus+ and PlusCode are registered trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation. The VIDEO Plus+ system is 
manufactured under license from Gemstar Development Corporation.

or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain a 
proper safety approved extension lead/adapter or consult 
your dealer.
In the unlikely event of the plug fuse failing be sure to 
replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as 
originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If the fuse 
fails again consult your nearest JVC dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off remove the fuse and 
dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock 
hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply. 
If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then 
follow the instructions given below:
DO NOT make any connection to the Larger Terminal coded 
E or Green.
