Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing the JVC VHS video cassette player. Before use, please read the safety informa-
tion and precautions contained in the following pages to ensure safe use of your new player.
CAUTIONS Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
damage to the player, remote control or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the player . . .
... 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 player’s ventilation openings.
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the player or remote
control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the
player or remote control.
5. AVOID violent shocks to the player during transport.
**MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the player when you
move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under ex-
tremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form on
the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture con-
densation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape.
In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the
player’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture
dry before inserting a tape.
Cautions on operation
• When the car is parked under the blazing sun or in an
extremely cold place for a long time, wait a while to use
this unit after the temperature of the cabin drops to the
normal temperature.
• Use this unit as the engine is running. If this unit is used as
the engine is stopping, it depletes the car battery and, if
worst comes to worst, the battery fails in starting the en-
gine.
• If this unit is disconnected during operation (playback, fast-
forward, rewind, etc.), it may cause a machine failure.
When disconnecting this unit, be sure to remove the video
cassette from the unit beforehand.
5 Cassettes marked ''VHS'' (or ''S-VHS'') can be used with
this video cassette player.
5 This model is equipped with SQPB (S-VHS
QUASI PLAYBACK) that makes it possible to
play back S-VHS recordings with regular VHS
resolution.

Dew sensor circuit
5When the cabin whose temperature is consider-
ably low is rapidly heated or the humidity in the
cabin is considerably high, insides of the wind-
screen and cabin windows are sometimes fogged.
At the same time, inside of the video cassette player
mounted on the car is dewed.
5In such the case (dewed condition), the dew sensor
circuit functions to stop machine operation with
indication of blinking indicator lamp in green,
and "DEW PLEASE WAIT" appears on the screen.
When the machine falls into such the status, wait
for several hours until the indicator lamp stops
blinking and lights continuously.
High temperature sensor circuit
5When the temperature of the machine becomes
considerably high, the high temperature sensor
circuit functions to stop machine operation with
indication of blinking indicator lamp in red,
and "HIGH TEMP PLEASE WAIT" appears on the
screen. When the machine falls into such the sta-
tus, turn off the machine and wait for a while
until the indicator lamp stops blinking while
leaving it in a cool place to lower the tempera-
ture. When turning on the machine again, make
sure that the indicator lamp does not blink
before starting operation.
Abnormal voltage sensor circuit
5When the source loop circuit of the machine detects
voltage out of the operation range, the abnormal
voltage sensor circuit functions to turn off the machine
with indication of blinking the indicator lamp
in orange, and "VOLTAGE PLEASE CHECK" appears
on the screen.
In such a case, make sure that the machine is
connected properly or battery voltage is sufficient.
Note: This video cassette player should be used
with DC12V only.
Tape protection circuit
5When the machine remains in the still playback or
slow playback mode for 5 minutes or longer, the tape
protection circuit functions to stop mode the ma-
chine for protecting the tape.

Inserting/removing cassette
Inserting cassette into the cassette compartment
Insert a video cassette with the label side up into the
cassette compartment by gently pressing the center
part.

compartment, the player is automatically turned
on. (Automatic power on function)
•The tape counter is reset to 0:00:00. (Automatic
counter reset function)
•Inserting a cassette automatically starts playback.
(Automatic playback function)
•When the car is shaking, it is hard to insert a casette
because the machine is apt to hold the cassette firmly
to prevent the cassette from vibration. In such a case,
insert the cassette strongly or pull the cassette out of
the player once and again try to insert it.
•Use an optional VHS cassette adapter to play back
VHS-C cassette tape.
How to play back VHS-C cassette tape recorded by Video Movie

NO EXPONGA ESTE APARATO A LA
LLUVIA O HUMEDAD.
CAUCIÓN:
El adaptador de cc debe utilizarse con 12V.
Para evitar choques electricos y accidentes, NO utilice
ninguna otra fuente de alimentación.
El no cumplir con las siguientes precauciones puede resultar
en daños al grabadora, al control remoto o al cassette de
video.
1. NO COLOQUE el grabadora en:
... Un lugar expuesto a temperaturas o humedad extremas.
... A la luz directa del sol.
... En un lugar polvoriento.

5. EVITE golpear violentamente el grabadora cuando lo
transporta.
**CONDENSACION DE HUMEDAD
La humedad del aire se condensará en el grabadora cuando
lo cambia de un lugar frío a un lugar tibio, o cuando hay
mucha humedad. La formación de codensación es igual a la
de la superficie externa de un vaso de vidrio lleno de agua
fría. La condensación de humedad sobre el tambor de cabezas
puede dañar la cinta. En condiciones en las cuales pueda
ocurrir condesación, mantenga conectada la alimentación
del VCR durante unas pocas horas para que la humedad se
seque.

Características
5 Videograbadora de alta fidelidad estéreo de cuatro
cabezales.
5 Montaje en posición vertical u horizontal gracias
a su altamente confiable diseño resistente a las
vibraciones.
Circuito sensor de condensación
5Cuando una cabina cuya temperatura es con-
siderablemente baja se tempera rápidamente, o
cuando la humedad en la cabina es considerable-
mente alta, el interior del parabrisas y las ventanas de
la cabina algunas veces se empañan. Al mismo
tiempo, el interior de la videograbadora montada en
el automóvil sufre condensación.
5En tal caso (condición con rocío), el circuito sensor
de rocío operarádeteniendo la operación de la
máquina, con la indicación de la lámpara indicadora
parpadeando en verde, y aparecerá“DEW
PLEASE WAIT”(rocío por favor esperar) en la pantalla.
Cuando la máquina entra en este estado, espere por
varias horas hasta que la lámpara indicadora deje
de parpadear y quede encendida continuamente.
