SAFETY FIRST

Safety Precautions

The rating plate and the safety caution are on the rear of the unit.

WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE.

CAUTION n When you are not using the recorder for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from the mains outlet.

n Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified service personnel. To prevent electric shock or fire hazard, remove the power cord from the mains outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal lead or aerial.

IMPORTANT n Please read the various precautions on this page before installing or operating the recorder.

n It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.

ATTENTION

1.This recorder can also receive SECAM colour television signals for recording and playback.

2.Recordings made of SECAM television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on another video recorder of SECAM standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on another video recorder of PAL standard.

3.SECAM prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a

SECAM video recorder produce monochrome pictures when played back with this recorder.

The STANDBY/ON button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches operating current on and off. " " shows electrical power standby and " " shows ON.

Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long

Play) or EP (Extended Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-speed video recorder.

POWER SYSTEM

This set operates on voltage of AC110 – 240 V` (Rating),

AC90 – 260 V` (Operating), 50/60 Hz with automatic switching.

Warning on lithium battery

The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C or incinerate.

Replace battery with Panasonic (Matsushita Electric),

Sanyo, Sony or Maxell CR2025; use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.

n Dispose of used battery promptly.

n Keep away from children.

n Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.

PAL NTSC n Only cassettes marked "VHS" can be used with this videorecorder.

n HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.

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.

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.

5. 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 in 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 turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

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.

Auto Head Cleaner

A built-in head cleaner automatically cleans the video heads and head drum whenever a tape is loaded or unloaded to reduce head clogging.

B.E.S.T. COMPLETE

● The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of the tape, then begins recording.

NOTES:

● The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP (or EP) modes only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated. It does not work during recording.

● In the case of timer recording, the B.E.S.T. system works before recording is initiated.

● Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled.

The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is reperformed.

● Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording

( Z pg. 15).

● The recorder adjusts the playback picture quality based on the quality of the tape in use.

● B.E.S.T. is active during Auto Tracking. “BEST” appears blinking on the recorder’s display panel.

NOTES:

● When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON”, it is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as well.

● When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps 1 through 5 on page 16.

● "BEST" only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking.

Even though it doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative.

ATTENTION

Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after

RECORD and PLAY on the remote are pressed, or RECORD on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the following steps:

1) Press and hold PAUSE and press RECORD to engage the

RECORD PAUSE mode.

● The recorder then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, reenters RECORD PAUSE.

2) Press PLAY to start recording.

● If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin recording immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF” in step

4 on page 16.

Description

Usually set to this mode. This mode automatically detects PAL, NTSC, SECAM or MESECAM and adjusts to the colour system being recorded or played back.

When it does not perform properly, set the colour system manually.

For recording, there is a choice of 4 selectable modes; PAL/MESECAM/NTSC

3.58/NTSC4.43. Select the mode that matches the colour signal being received.

For playback, there is an additional mode which allows NTSC tapes to be played back and viewed on PAL TVs.

* "NTSC[PAL" appears during playback only.

NOTES:

● In the AUTO mode, NTSC signals will be automatically recorded as NTSC 3.58.

● In the AUTO mode, NTSC tapes will be played back as NTSC

3.58.

● SECAM signals will always be recorded as MESECAM. Select the AUTO or the MESECAM mode when recording SECAM signals.

● When playing back a SECAM tape, select the AUTO or the

MESECAM mode. The playback picture will always be monochrome.

● In the NTSC4.43 mode, with some TVs, on-screen displays

(Program screen etc.) may roll up or down and there may be a loss of colour. When this happens, select the AUTO mode.

NOTES:

When viewing NTSC tapes on a PAL TV set:

● The picture may shrink vertically with black bars appearing at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of the video recorder nor the TV.

● The picture may roll up or down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)

● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.

ATTENTION:

When this recorder is connected to a multi-system TV, the audio signal may not be heard or may be noisy if the colour system select switch of the TV is adjusted to the AUTO position. In such a case, set the TV's colour system select switch to the appropriate position which corresponds to the TV system you have selected at the TV System Select screen.
