Important Safety Precautions Prior to shipment from the factory, JVC products are strictly inspected to conform with the recognized product safety and electrical codes of the countries in which they are to be sold. However, in order to maintain such compliance, it is equally important to implement the following precautions when a set is being serviced.

PREVENTIVE CHECKS AND SERVICE INTERVALS The following standard table depends on environmental conditions and usage. Parts replacing time does not mean the life span for individual parts. Also, long term storage or misuse may cause transformation and aging of rubber parts. The following list means standard hours, so the checking hours depends on the conditions.
If "N" is always being displayed on the TV monitor, can not control from provided remote controller since this product is other brand format. • How to return a JVC format. Turn off the power of the set and push the CHANNEL+ button and the REC button of the set simultaneously.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS TAPE REMOVAL METHOD AT NO POWER 1. CONFIRMATION AND ADJUSTMENT SUPPLY Read the following NOTES before starting work. Remove the Top Cabinet and Front Cabinet. • Place an object which weighs between 450g~500g on the (Refer to item 1 of the DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.)
