Safety Precautions

SAFETY FIRST

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

8

8

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.

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.

WARNING

There are two different types of SECAM colour systems: SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called

SECAM-West), and SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called SECAM-East).

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

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

PAL video recorder with SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-compatible).

3. SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome pictures when played back with this recorder.

4. This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.

IMPORTANT

Please read the various precautions on pages 2 and 4 before installing or operating the recorder.

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.

● Cassettes marked “S-VHS” and “VHS” can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recordings are possible only with cassettes marked “S-VHS”.

By using the S-VHS ET function, it is possible to record and play back with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes with this recorder.

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 Gazette of the Italian Republic n. 301 of 28 Dec.’95”

” shows ON.

Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP/EP (Long Play/Extended Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-speed video recorder.

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 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.

SAFETY FIRST (cont.)

PRECAUTION FOR Hard Disk Drive

1. Before installing the recorder

This recorder has a built-in hard disk drive, which is a device to read minute magnetic changes.

The inside of the device is precision-built, which, when installing the recorder, requires you to note the following:

● DO NOT use the recorder in a location prone to vibration or dust.

● DO NOT place the recorder where difference in temperatures is large (condensation can occur), or where humidity is high.

– When condensation occurs

Water droplets form on the hard disc or head drums inside, possibly causing hard disc and heads to be damaged.

– About condensation

When well-cooled beer is poured into a glass, water droplets often form around its outside.

This phenomenon is called condensation.

● DO NOT install the recorder where the cooling fans in its back may be blocked, or where the recorder may be closed in.

● DO NOT use the recorder placed vertically.

NOTE:

The hard disk may produce mechanical noise, but it is not a malfunction.

2. Before using the recorder

When the power of the unit is on, the hard disc is constantly rotating at high speed.

This requires you to note the following:

● DO NOT impart vibration or shock.

If given a heavy shock, not only is the data recorded damaged but also the hard disk itself can be damaged.

● DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism or emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cell phones, etc.) near the recorder.

● DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet when the power of the recorder is on.

If the power supply is cut off while the hard disc is in operation, it can be damaged or the data stored on it may be damaged. Be sure to push the power button before turning off the power.

3. While using the recorder

When viewing a program by selecting HDD

(Hard Disk Drive), there occurs a slight time lag relative to the actual program being broadcast.

This is because pictures received are once stored on the hard disk, and then played back.

The time lag is about three seconds. If you turn the power on with the hard disk already selected, it will take about 30 seconds before the pictures received appear on the screen. Up until then, any operation is disabled. But it is not a malfunction.

As recording format for the HDD deck, MPEG2 format, the same for DVD, is used. As a guide for picture quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can be recorded per second.

The larger this value, the better the picture quality is but the more capacity is required for recording. Select SP for programmes where quick movement occurs, such as sports programmes, and SEP for talk shows, etc. where relativity less movement.

Live Memory

Playback


Equipped with a hard disk drive, this recorder allows information to be written to and read from the hard disk at high speeds. Taking advantage of this feature, you can temporarily record programmes received with the tuner or from an externally connected equipment, and can watch them only a few seconds behind actual air time.

In this recorder, viewing a programme through HDD (not a recorded programme) means you are always watching the programme temporarily recorded on it.

This feature enables you to reverse the programme back to view any previous part of it. This is called “Live Memory Playback”, which was impossible until now.

You can select the length of the time for temporary recording from off, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours (

墌 pg. 75).

About “Live Memory Playback”

With a certain amount of space (for 30 minutes, 1 hour and 3 hours) reserved on the hard disk, the recorder records broadcasts being received or signals input from an externally connected equipment.

Even while you are reversing the programme to review any previous part, the recorder continues recording the same programme or externally-input signals.

NOTE:

When the reserved amount of time (or space) runs out, the recorder overwrites the previous recordings on the hard disk, starting with the oldest one, repeatedly if necessary. After having recorded a certain number of programmes, if you try to increase the amount of your reserved time on HDD, you may not be allowed to do so because of possible lack of available space, and the recorder will inform you of this by displaying a message on the screen.

B.E.S.T. Picture

System

The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You

( can set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference

墌 pg. 77).

EN

41

Recording

The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate recording.

DURING B.E.S.T.

B.E.S.T. COMPLETE

Playback

The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate playback.

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

● B.E.S.T. is active during automatic tracking. “BEST” appears blinking on the recorder’s front 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 (

墌

pg. 77).

● “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.

● 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.

● The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite

Programme Recording is in progress (

墌

pg. 47).

● In the case of timer recordings, 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 re-performed.

● Pressing the recorder’s

7

button while “BEST” is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording (

墌

pg. 37).

ATTENTION

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

7 and

4

on the remote control are pressed, or

7

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

A Press and hold

9

and press

7

to engage the Record

Pause mode.

● The recorder then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters

Record Pause mode.

B Press

4

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” (

Satellite Receiver Users

To timer-record a satellite broadcast using Express Timer

Programming:

A Perform “Automatic Satellite Programme Recording” on page 47.

B Perform steps A – L. In step G, press the number key “0” to change “TV PROG” to “SAT”. The front display panel shows “L2” for the channel position. Then press PR+/– to enter the channel position for the satellite broadcast. In step

VPS/PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme

Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording.

With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your video recorder and have precedence over the advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.

NOTES:

● When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start

time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

● VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite

receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 (L-2) IN/

DECODER connector on your recorder.

● VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 (L-1) IN/

OUT connector.

How to check if the station being received transmits a

VPS/PDC signal (VHS deck only)

A Press – –:– – until the channel position appears on the front display panel.

B Hold down START+ for about 5 seconds.

“VPS/PDC” appears blinking on the front display panel.

If a VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station,

“VPS/PDC” will stop blinking.

If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station,

“VPS/PDC” will blink at a slower rate.

C Press – –:– – or START+ again to return to normal display.

About Hybrid

Navigation

In the sections “Playback with HDD Navigation” ( and “Playback with VCR Navigation” (

墌

墌 pg. 24) pg. 32), it is briefly described how to search for the beginning of each recorded programme using the Navigation functions. More detailed explanations are provided in this section using HDD Navigation by way of example.

This recorder has a built-in Hybrid Navigation system, which consists of two Navigation systems (HDD Navigation and VCR

Navigation). Using Navigation system, you can easily modify registered information or edit the programme when dubbing from the HDD deck to VHS deck, as well as search for the beginning of each programme.

About registration of information

The following information is automatically registered for each programme when ordinary recording or timer recording is performed, then stored in an area specified on the hard disk. For the VHS deck, set “NAVIGATION” to “ON” (

● index* (reduced still pictures to show programme titles)

● programme title*

● category*

墌 pg. 75).

● date and time

● channel

● recording speed

● length of recording time

The items marked with an asterisk (*) can be easily modified and registered again after recording by using Navigation system.

About editing of programmes

Navigation system has four functions for editing of programmes.

● “Modify Information” (

● “Delete Information” (

墌

墌 pg. 52) pg. 55)

● “Easy Dubbing from HDD deck to VHS deck” (

● “Random Assemble Editing” (

墌 pg. 60)

墌 pg. 56)

The limitations of registration

You can register information up to 60 programmes in HDD

Navigation. In VCR Navigation, you can register information up to 2000 programmes or up to 680 cassettes.

To register the information for VCR Navigation, you need to record a programme for more than 8 minutes in SP mode (for more than 15 minutes in LP mode or for more than 23 minutes in EP mode).

When the amount of information is at the limits of registration, you cannot record new programme any more. In this case, you need to delete old programmes to register new one (

墌 pg. 55).

Advantages of S-VHS video recorders

You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, S-VHS to VHS, or, from

S-VHS to S-VHS.

● From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the

S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently limited by that of the original, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

● From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the source material is very high, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

● From S-VHS to S-VHS: All signals will be transferred with minimum degradation.

SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)


When this function is set to “ON”, the recorder automatically switches to LP mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire programme while timer-recording in SP mode.

For Example . . .

Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-minute tape

Approximately 150 minutes

SP mode

Approximately 60 minutes

Total 210 minutes

LP mode

Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-recording starts.

NOTES:

● If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, the

second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO

SP

]

LP TIMER” to “ON”. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during timer programming.

● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this feature may leave a slight

non-recorded section at the end of the tape.

● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the

recorder switches from SP to LP mode.

● The Auto SP

]

LP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work properly with any tapes longer than E-180, or with some tapes of shorter lengths.

● If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the Auto SP

]

LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

You can play back PAL, NTSC and MESECAM tapes, or record PAL and SECAM* signals on this recorder. Select the appropriate colour system.

PAL/NTSC:

To record PAL signals, or play back a PAL or NTSC tape.

MESECAM: To record SECAM signals, or play back a MESECAM tape.

* SECAM signals will be recorded as MESECAM on this recorder; MESECAM is the designation for tapes with SECAM signals that have been recorded on a

MESECAM-compatible PAL video cassette recorder.

NOTES:

● It is not possible to record in S-VHS if “MESECAM” is selected. The recording mode is

forced to change to VHS.

● If “MESECAM” is selected when the tape speed is set to EP mode, the tape speed will be

forced to change to LP mode.

● It is not possible to select EP mode if “MESECAM” is selected.

About NTSC Playback

● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the

TV screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.

● The picture may roll up and 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.)

● The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.

● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there

may be a loss of colour.

● Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays

may be cut off during NTSC playback.

You can set the B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system to

Provides the optimised picture benefits of the B.E.S.T. Picture

System.

Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and playback).

Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes containing a lot of noise.

Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with lots of flat, same-coloured surfaces such as cartoons.

NOTES:

● When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not change until

you select another mode.

● When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select “AUTO” after you finish

dubbing the tapes.

● When “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROL” switches automatically from “AUTO”

to “NORM”.

When this function is set to “ON”, the Digital 3R picture system applies edge correction to the luminance signal to enhance detail.

NOTES:

● Normally it is recommended to keep “DIGITAL 3R” set to “ON”.

● Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with “DIGITAL

3R” set to “OFF”.

● If you use the recorder as the source player for editing, be sure to set “DIGITAL 3R” to

“OFF” before starting.

Your recorder is equipped with the Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector) that removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes and rental cassettes.

The on/off of Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables clear picture reproduction is also linked to this function.

We recommend that you set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “ON” when...

... playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.

... playing back a tape repeatedly used.

... using this video recorder as the source player for editing.

NOTES:

● If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, the picture may

become more stable with Digital TBC/NR set to off.

● When “DIGITAL TBC/NR” is set to “ON”, if you play back a tape where certain types of

signals are recorded (using a PC or some character generators), the playback picture may be distorted. If this is the case, set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “OFF”.

● When playing back a MESECAM tape, Digital TBC/NR does not function even though

“DIGITAL TBC/NR” is set to “ON”.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

PLAYBACK

Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached during playback or search?

A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.

Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the still mode?

97

TIMER RECORDING

Q. “

o

” and “

#

” remain lit on the front display panel. Is there a problem?

A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in progress.

Q. Can I programme the timer while I’m watching a tape or a TV broadcast?

A. You won’t see the picture as it is replaced by the on-screen menu, but the audio from the programme or tape you’re viewing can be heard.

RECORDING
