OTHER PROBLEMS

SYMPTOM
1. When scanning channels, some of
them are skipped over.
2. The channel cannot be changed.
3. The Remote will not operate your
TV or cable box or DBS receiver.
4. Even though Auto or Semiauto
Clock Set has been performed, the
clock is incorrect.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR 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
VCR turned on for a few hours to evaporate the moisture before inserting a tape.
ABOUT HEAD 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.
ATTENTION
This VCR contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference can cause microcomputer to malfunction. If the
VCR does not operate correctly switch its power off and unplug the AC power cord from the AC supply. Wait for a while and
then plug the power back in. Eject and check the condition of the cassette. If everything appears normal, you can operate the
VCR as usual.
