Moisture condensation prevents
use
of
the unit.
•You
have observed
that
pouring a cold liquid
into a glass will cause drops
of
water
to
form on
the
glass's
outer
surface. This same
phenomenon
occurs on
the
head
drum
of a video recorder
when
the
recorder
is
moved from a cool place
to
a warm place,
after
heating in a cold
room,
under
extremely
humid
conditions
or
in
a place
directly subjected
to
the
cool air from an air
conditioner.
•Moisture
on
the
head
drum
can cause severe
damage
to
the
video tape, and can lead
to
inter-
nal damage
to
the
recorder itself.
•If
moisture
condensation
occurs
on
the
head
drum
a
condensation
warning appears
in
the
viewfinder and
the
unit
enters
the
Stop
mode,
unable
to
function.
In
such a case,
wait
for a
few hours until
the
indicator disappears.
Maintenance
•When
the
cabinet
is
dusty, clean by gently wiping
with a
soft
cloth.
•Avoid
the
use
of
strong cleaning agents such as ben-
zine or alcohol
as
they
may damage
the
cabinet.
•Cleaning
should be
done
only
after
the
battery
pack
has been removed or
other
power
units have been
disconnected.
Serious malfunctioning
If
malfunctioning occurs,
stop
using the
unit
im-
mediately
and
consult
your
local JVC Service
Center.
VIDEO CASSETTES
•Recording
onto
prerecorded tapes
automatically
erases
the
previously recorded video
and
audio
signals.
•An
inverted cassette
cannot
be
inserted.
•Do
not
load
and
unload
the
cassette repeatedly
without
allowing the tape
to
run
at
all. This will
slacken
the
tape
and
thereby
damage it.
•Make
certain before loading the cassette
that
the
tape
is
not
slackened.
If
there
is
any
slack,
turn
the
gear on
the
cassette in
the
di
rec ti
on
of
the
arrow
to
take up slack.
•The
cassette
is
equipped
with a safety
tab
to
prevent
accidental erasure. When
the
tab
is
removed,
re-
cording
is
impossible.
If
you
wish
to
record
on
a
cassette whose
tab
has been removed, use adhesive
tape
to
reseal the slot.
•To
avoid excessive
exposure
to
dust
and finger-
prints, do
not
open
the
front
tape cover.
