3 Safety Precautions For Italy: It is declared that this product, brand JVC, conforms to the Ministry Decree n. 548 of 8 Aug. 95 published in the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic n. 0 of 8 Dec. 95 The STANDBY/ON current on and off. button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches operating shows electrical power standby and I shows ON. Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long Play) mode cannot be played back on a singlespeed video recorder. When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (0 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear.) When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly. Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the recorder, remote control or video cassette.. DO NOT place the recorder 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.. DO NOT block the recorder s ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.). DO NOT place heavy objects on the recorder or remote control. 4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the recorder or remote control. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.) 5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. 6.

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.

13 Setting the TV to the AV-Channel We recommend that television and DVD/ are being connected with a scart cable. In this case, the setting of AV-channel is not necessary. Picture and sound of video cassette will be transmitted to television through the scart cable automatically. Please read the next page. In case of no scart cable connection, you must set the television to the AVchannel. Pay attention to the following notice: A built-in TV-broadcast in DVD/ can do the video playback through the supplied antenna cable. This broadcast is sent on UHF, channel 6. To receive this broadcast, you must tune your television to channel 6 in UHF-band.(see step ) In case a broadcast has already sent to channel 6 in your area or you connect an additional equipment (e.g. Satellite receiver) with a coaxial cable (without a scart cable), you must tune the sending channel in DVD/ (see step ). In your television store the both equipment (the DVD/ and the satellite receiver) to different program positions. Example: Your satellite receiver is sent to channel 6. You tune the DVD/ to channel 40 (see step ). (If your DVD/ is also sent to channel 6, the interference will occur.) In your television store the channel 6 to e.g. program position and store the channel 40 to e.g. program position 4. Note that the program position 4 must be suitable for video-playback especially. Please see the owner's manual for your television. If the playback picture is often distored, you must select the other program position for DVD/. Preparation Turn on the TV. Make sure the power of DVD/ has been turned off. Press the DVD/ s (not the one on your remote control) and keep pressing it until the display shows rf:. The number next to rf: is the channel in UHF-band to which you must tune your TV-set. Switch your television to the program position on which the video playback is seen. Start the channel search of your television until TEST appears. Store this tuning in television like also the case of the reception for normal television-channels you would store. 4 If you want to use your DVD/, switch your television to this program position. TEST If there is interference in the picture (you see programs simultaneously or what is called Ghosts), change the sending channel in DVD/. To do this, go back to the step.
