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 interconnections  
between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturers  
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.  
DONT 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.  
DONT remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DONT 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.  
DONT use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of  
road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV  
mark.  
... be aware that recording onto prerecorded  
tapes automatically erases the previously  
recorded video and audio signals.  
... make sure the cassette is positioned properly  
when inserting.  
... do not load and unload the cassette

cautions:  
1. To avoid hazards…  
... do not burn.  
... do not short-circuit the terminals. When  
transporting, make sure the provided battery  
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap  
is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.  
... do not modify or disassemble.  
... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes  
the tape to fingerprints and dust.  
2. Store cassettes…  
... do not expose the battery to temperatures  
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery  
to overheat, explode or catch fire.  
... away from heaters or other heat sources.  
... out of direct sunlight.  
... where they wont be subject to unnecessary  
shock or vibration.  
... where they wont be exposed to strong  
magnetic fields (such as those generated by  
motors, transformers or magnets).  
... vertically, in their original cases.  
... use only specified chargers.  
2. To prevent damage and prolong service life…  
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.  
... charge in an environment where temperatures  
are within the tolerances shown in the chart  
below. This is a chemical reaction type  
battery cooler temperatures impede  
chemical reaction, while warmer  
temperatures can prevent complete charging.

CAUTIONS (cont.)  
5. Dirty heads can cause the following problems:  
About moisture condensation...  
You have observed that pouring a cold liquid  
into a glass will cause drops of water to form on  
the glassouter surface. This same phenomenon  
occurs on the head drum of a player when it is  
moved from a cool place to a warm place, after  
heating a cold room, under extremely humid  
conditions or in a place directly subjected to the  
cool air from an air conditioner.  
No picture during playback.  
Blocks of noise appear during playback.  
During playback, the Head Clog Warning  
indicator “ ” appears.  
Moisture on the head drum can cause severe  
damage to the video tape, and can lead to  
internal damage to the player itself.  
In such cases, use an optional cleaning cassette.  
Insert it and play back. If the cassette is used more  
than once consecutively, damage to the video heads  
may result. After the player plays back for about 20  
seconds, it stops automatically. Also refer to the  
cleaning cassettes instructions.  
Serious malfunctioning  
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit  
immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.  
If, after using the cleaning cassette, the problems still  
exist, consult your nearest JVC dealer.  
The player is a microcomputer-controlled device.  
External noise and interference (from a TV, a  
radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning  
properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power  
supply unit (battery pack, AC Power Adapter/  
Charger, etc.) and wait a few minutes and then re-  
connect it and proceed as usual from the  
beginning.  
Mechanical moving parts used to move the video  
heads and video tape tend to become dirty and  
worn out over time. In order to maintain a clear  
picture at all times, periodic check-ups are  
recommended after using the unit for about 1,000  
hours. For periodic check-ups please consult your  
nearest JVC dealer.
