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 
(10 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.

1. 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.

2. 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.)

3. 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. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with 

water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or 
liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted 
plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.

7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted 

candles, on the apparatus.

8. AVOID violent shocks to the recorder during transport.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move 
it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid 
conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass 
filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum 
will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation 
may occur, keep the recorder’s power turned on for a few hours to 
let the moisture dry.

How to use the remote control

Before use, insert the Lithium battery (CR 2032) in the correct 
directions as indicated back of the remote control. The remote 
control can operate most of your recorder’s functions, as well as 
basic functions of JVC TV sets.

Point the remote control toward the receiving window on the 
recorder.

The maximum operating distance of the remote control is about 
7.5 m.

To operate your JVC TV, press the corresponding button:

NOTE:

If the remote control does not work properly, remove its batteries, 

wait for a few seconds, replace the batteries and then try again.

Video heads cleaning

Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads may 
cause the playback picture to become blurred or interrupted. Be 
sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such troubles occur.

Usable cassettes

Compact VHS camcorder recordings can 
be played on this recorder. Simply place 
the recorded cassette into a VHS Cassette 
Adapter and it can be used just like any 
full-sized VHS cassette.

This recorder can record on regular VHS and Super VHS 
cassettes. However, it will record and play back regular VHS 
signals only. It is not possible to play back a recorded Super 
VHS cassette.

For Italy:

“It is declared that this product, brand JVC, conforms to the 
Ministry Decree n. 548 of 28 Aug.’95 published in the Official

Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-speed video 
recorder.

For HR-V205/V206E owners:

Video tapes recorded with another recorder in the LP (Long 
Play) mode cannot be played back on this video recorder.

ATTENTION:

To mobile phone users:

picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a 
blue back display.

On placing the recorder:

Some TVs or other appliances generates strong magnetic fields. 
Do not place such appliance on top of the recorder as it may 
cause picture disturbance.
