Important Safety Precautions
Prior
to
shipment
from
the
factory,
JVC
products
are
strictly
inspected
to
conform
with
the
recognized
product
safety
and
electrical
codes
of
the
countries
in
which
they
are
to
be
sold.
However,
in
order
to
maintain
such
compliance,
it
is
equally
important
to
implement
the
following
precautions
when a
set is being
serviced.
@ Precautions during Servicing
1, Locations requiring special caution are denoted by labels and
inscriptions on the cabinet, chassis and certain parts of the
product. When performing service, be sure to read and comply
with these and other cautionary notices appearing in the opera-
tion and service manuals.
—————SS
2. Parts identified by the /\ symbol and shaded (
critical for safety.
Replace only with specified part numbers.
Note: Parts in this category also include those specified to
comply with X-ray emission standards for products using
cathode ray tubes and those specified for compliance
with various regulations regarding spurious radiation
emission.
©) parts are
10. Products using cathode ray tubes (CRTs)
In regard to such products, the cathode ray tubes themselves,
the high voltage circuits, and related circuits are specified for
compliance with recognized codes pertaining to X-ray emission.
Consequently, when servicing these products, replace the cath-
‘ce ray tubes and other parts with only the parts specified.
Under no circumstances attempt to modify these circuits.
Unauthorized modification can increase the high voltage value
and cause X-ray emission form the cathode ray tube.
3. Use specified internal wiring. Note especially:
1) Wires covered with PVC tubing
2) Double insulated wires
3) High voltage leads
4. Use specified insulating materials for hazardours live parts. Note
especially:
1) Insulation Tape
2) PVC tubing
3) Spacers
4) Insulation sheets for transistors
5. When replacing AC primary side components (transformers,
power cords, noise blocking capacitors, etc.) wrap ends of wires
securely about the terminals before soldering.
Fig. 1
B=
6. Observe that wires do not contact heat producing parts (heat-
sinks, oxide metal film resistors, fusible resistors, etc.)
7. Check that replaced wires do not contact sharp edged or pointed
parts.
8. When a power cord has been replaced, check that 10-15 kg of
force in any direction will not loosent it.
Power cord
Fig. 2
9, Also check areas surrounding repaired locations.
L
11. Crimp type wire connector
In such cases as when replacing the power transformer in sets
where the connections between the power cord and power
transformer primary lead wires are performed using crimp type
connectors, if replacing the connectors is unavoidable, in order
to prevent safety hazards, perfomr carefully and precisely
according to the following steps.
1) Connector part number : E03830-001
2) Required tool : Connector crimping tool of the proper type
which will not damage insulated parts.
3) Replacement procedure
(1) Remove the old connector by cutting the wires at a point
close to the connector.
Important : Do not reuse a connector (discard it).

Cut close to connector
Fig. 3
(2) Strip about 15 mm of the insulation from the ends of the
wires. If the wires are stranded, twist the strands to avoid
frayed conductors.

{3) Align the lengths of the wires to be connected. Insert the
wires fully into the connector.

e@Safety Check after Servicing
Examine the area surrounding the repaired location for damage or deterioration. Observe that screws, parts and wires have been returned
to original positions, Afterwards, performe the following tests and confirm the specified values in order to verify compliance with safety
standards.
|. Insulation resistance test
Confirm the specified insulation resistance or greater between
power cord plug prongs and externally exposed parts of the set
(RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input and out-
put terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.). See
table below.
2. Dielectric strength test
Confirm specified dielectric strength or greater between power
cord plug prongs and exposed accessible parts of the set (RF
terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input and output
terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.). See tabel
below.
3. Clearance distance
When replacing primary circuit components, confirm specified
clearance distance (d), (d’) between soldered terminals, and bet-
ween terminals and surrounding metallic parts. See table below.
4. Leakage current test
Confirm specified or lower leakage current between B (earth
ground, power cord plug prongs) and externally exposed accessi-
bie parts (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio
input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks,
etc.).
Measuring Method: (Power ON)
Insert load Z between B (earth ground, power cord plug prongs)
and exposed accessible parts. Use an AC voltmeter to measure
across both terminals of load Z. See figure and following table.

@ The HR-S10EG/EK employs VHS-type cassettes only:
E-240 for 4 hours, £-180 for 3 hours, E-120 for 2 hours,
E-60 for 1 hour and E-30 for 30 minutes of recording.
Video cassettes are equipped with a safety tab to
prevent accidental erasure. When the tab is removed,
recording cannot be performed. If you wish to record
‘on a cassette whose tab has been removed, use adhesive
tape to rescal the slot.

® Do not load and unload a video cassette successively
without allowing the tape to run. This may slacken or
damage the tape.
An inverted cassette cannot be inserted.
Do not touch the tape directly.
Do not disassemble the video cassettes.
Avoid exposing the cassettes to direct sunlight. Keep
them away from heaters.
@ Avoid extreme humidity, violent vibrations or shocks,
strong magnetic fields (near a motor, transformer or
a magnet) and dusty places.
©@ Place the cassettes in cassette cases and position them
vertically.
Moisture condensation
© If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in
the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is
called moisture condensation.
@ Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the
Most crucial parts of the video recorder, will cause
damage to the tape.
@ Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when
you move it from a cold place to a warm place, after
heating a cold room or under extremely humid condi-
tions,
@ The recorder is equipped with a moisture condensation
Prevention circuit which automatically heats the head
drum according to the ambient temperature. In order
for this circuit to operate, connect the TU-S1OEG/EK
Tuner/Adapter to the recorder, plug the tuner’s power
cord into an AC outlet, set the POWER/BETRIEB
switch to ON/EIN, and leave the recorder’s POWER/
BETRIEB button in the OFF position.
@ The DEW/FEUCHT. indicator of the recorder informs
you that moisture has condensed inside the recorder.
As long as this indicator remains flashing, the recorder
cannot be operated.
Counter
FEUCHT- af
display
indicator
© If this dew warning indication should happen when
you heve powered the recorder, the power is auto-
matically switched off. In this case you must wait for
a few hours until the indicator no longer flashes when
power is reapplied.
@ The moisture condensation prevention circuit consumes
only a slight amount of power. However, if for some
reason you are not using the system for a long period
of time, it is advisable to remove the power cord from
the AC outlet.
Maintenance
® When the cabinet is dusty, clean by gently wiping it
with a soft cloth.
® Avoid the use of strong cleaning agents such as benzine
or alcohol as they may damage the cabinet.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON USING THE HR-S10EG
Power supply
@ Use the NB-P4U (high-capacity) or NB-P3U (regular)
exclusive battery pack for battery operation.
Use the TU-S10EG/EK Tuner/Adapter or the AC-
P3EG/EK AC Power Pack for AC operation.
Use the AP-P3E Car Battery Adapter to obtain power
from the car battery.
When changing the power supply from the TU-S10EG/
EK to other power units (battery pack, AC power,
pack, car battery adapter), press the POWER/BETRIEB
button to OFF and disconect from the TU-S10EG/EK.
Notes:
© If the POWER/BETRIEB button fails to switch power
‘on or off in case the TU-S10EG/EK is used, unplug the
AC power cord and, after a few seconds, plug it in once
again.
lf the POWER/BETRIEB button fails to switch power
on or off in case a power supply unit is used instead of
the TU-S10EG/EK, remove the power supply unit and,
after a few seconds, attach it once again.
