What to do if the playback picture is blurred on my JVC VCR?
If the playback picture is blurred or interrupted while TV broadcasts are clear, or if the message “USE CLEANING CASSETTE” appears on the screen, the video heads may be dirty. For the VHS deck, use a dry cleaning cassette TCL-2, or consult your JVC dealer. For the DV deck, use a dry cleaning cassette M-DV12CL, or consult your JVC dealer.
Why can't I record on my JVC VCR?
If you cannot start recording, it might be because there is no cassette loaded, or the cassette loaded has had its record safety tab removed (for VHS deck) or the erase protection switch set to 'SAVE' (for DV deck). To fix this, insert a VHS (or S-VHS) cassette, or cover the hole where the tab was removed using adhesive tape. Alternatively, insert a Mini DV cassette, or set the erase protection switch to 'REC'.

Ensure the components are connected correctly and check the 'REAR AUX INPUT' or 'FRONT AUX INPUT' setting. Confirm that all units’ power switches are turned on. Set the input mode to 'L-1' or 'F-1'.
