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”).
