SAFETY FIRST
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.
Safety Precautions
CAUTION
When you are not using the recorder for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the
power cord from the mains outlet.
Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified service personnel.To prevent electric shock
or fire hazard, remove the power cord from the mains outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal
lead or aerial.
IMPORTANT
Connection to the mains supply in the United Kingdom. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home 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 ap-
proved 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 LargerTerminal coded E or Green.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue to N (Neutral) or Black
Brown to L (Live) or Red
If these colours do not correspond with the terminal identifications of your plug, connect as follows:
Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured Black.
Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red.
If in doubt – consult a competent electrician.
IMPORTANT
Please read the various precautions on page 2 and 3 before installing or operating the recorder.
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the
consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in
any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.
Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-
speed video recorder.
The STANDBY/ON button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches operating
current on and off. “ ” shows electrical power standby and “ I ” shows ON.
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.

Some Do's And Don'ts OnThe Safe Use Of Equipment
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like
any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be
assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnec-
tions between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the
equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may
need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the require-
ments of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws – to ensure complete safety
always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the
instructions.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL...
– NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in
the case – this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
– NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind – it is better to be safe than sorry!

Connect to an AV Amplifier with built-in digital surround
If you are using an Amplifier with a built-in digital surround as follows, you can enjoy the various audio systems
such as Dolby Digital and DTS by using the Coaxial Digital Output.
Use this connection to connect an:
• AV amplifier with built-in *Dolby Digital decoder
• AV amplifier with built-in *DTS decoder
Playback connection
Connect to a Stereo Amplifier with Audio Output
Connecting the optical digital cable
You may connect to an AV Amplifier with an Optical digital cable (not supplied) instead of a Coaxial digital
cable.
When you connect the optical digital cable (not supplied), remove the dust protection cap from the rear panel.
When not using the optical digital cable, attach the dust protection cap to protect against dust.
NOTES:
• The OPTICAL, COAXIAL jacks are useful only for DVD section.
VHS signal is output only from the SCART-sockets, AUDIO L/R jacks and RF OUT jack.
• When you make the connections above, do not set DOLBY DIGITAL to DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS to ON on the AV
Amplifier. If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the
speakers to be damaged.
• DTS audio will be output only from the COAXIAL output.To hear DTS audio, DTS-Decoder is necessary.
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analogue stereo outputs.
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.
