1 PRECAUTIONS  
VCR  
Avoid using the recorder in places subject to the  
following conditions:  
– extreme heat, cold, or humidity,

– poor ventilation.  
• Use in horizontal (flat) position only.  
Be careful of moisture condensation.  
During transportation,  
Do not use the recorder immediately after moving it

in warm air will condense on the still-cold video  
head drum and tape guides and may cause  
damage to the tape and the recorder.  
• Avoid violent shocks to the recorder during  
packing and transportation.  
• Before packing, be sure to remove the cassette  
from the recorder.

1 PRECAUTIONS  
Head Cleaning  
Perform head cleaning even 20 hours to enjoy  
clear pictures.  
Cautions  
Do not rewind the cleaning tape after every use (for  
about 30 seconds). You have only to start at the  
position where the tape stopped in previous  
cleaning. Rewind to the beginning when the tape  
has been used to an end.  
30 seconds are enough for one run of the cleaning  
tape. To keep running the tape for longer than 45  
seconds may damage the heads.  
If sound and picture quality does not recover with  
the cleaning procedures repeated three times, there  
may be some other causes of trouble. Consult your  
JVC dealer.  
The W-VHS dedicated cleaning tape can be used  
100 times.  
Video heads get soiled with repeated recording and  
playback, resulting in rough, uneven picture.  
Perform cleaning of the tape transport mechanism  
every 20 hours with the provided head cleaning tape  
dedicated to W-VHS.  
How to use the cleaning tape  
1. Load the W-VHS dedicated head cleaning tape.  
2. Press the PLAY button and then STOP button after  
about 30 seconds.  
Recording or playback is not possible on the  
cleaning tape.  
3. Unload the head cleaning tape and execute a  
usual recording and playback procedure on a W-  
VHS cassette to see if audio/visual quality has  
been recovered.  
Do not use any cleaning tape other than the W-  
VHS dedicated cleaning tape for this machine.  
The W-VHS dedicated cleaning tape can be used  
only with the video cassette recorder marked with  
.
4. If tape quality does not pick up, repeat the  
procedures 1. and 2. once or twice.

recording level may lead to a greater noise and  
too high a level may cause a distortion.

When pause remains for longer than five  
minutes, the machine automatically stops  
recording to protect tape and video head from  
damage.
