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.

IMPORTANT n Please read the various precautions on page 2 – 4 of this instruction manual 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.

IMPORTANT

Connection to the mains supply in the United Kingdom.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain a proper safety approved extension lead/ adapter or consult your dealer.

In the unlikely event of the plug fuse failing be sure to replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If the fuse fails again consult your nearest JVC dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow the instructions given below:

DO NOT make any connection to the Larger Terminal coded E or Green.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue to N (Neutral) or Black

Brown to L (Live) or Red

If these colours do not correspond with the terminal identifications of your plug, connect as follows:

Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured Black.

Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red.

If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.

625 n 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.

n VIDEO Plus+ and PlusCode are registered trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation. The VIDEO Plus+ system is manufactured under license from Gemstar Development Corporation.

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.

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

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.

SAFETY FIRST (cont.)

Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe

Use Of Equipment

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL...

— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a 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 which 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 from what has been advertised. PDC is currently available nationally on

BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC service in some areas. All channels intend to offer this service in due course. Check your TV programme listing guide for latest information. If the channel you intend to record does not offer a PDC service your recorder will not start recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to set

PDC to "OFF" if PDC is not available on your selected channel (

Z

step 5 above).

NOTES:

● PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER on your recorder.

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

NOTES:

● Video Navigation is possible with the cassettes recorded with this recorder only.

● To record the date and time as the programme title in this recorder's memory, make sure the recorder's clock is set correctly before recording.

● To record the programme information in this recorder's memory, you must continue to record each programme for over the minimum recording time; 8 min. for the SP mode,

15 min. for the LP mode or 23 min. for the EP mode.

● Video Navigation may not work properly depending on the cassette being used.

● Video Navigation may not work properly when an index code

(VISS signal) is marked or erased manually near a start point of recorded programme. (

Z

pg. 36)

● If the recorder finds two tape numbers in one tape while playing back or searching for the beginning of a programme, then when you remove the tape, the tape will be assigned just one number (smaller number).

● The programme information is stored in this recorder’s memory. If the memory in this recorder should ever be damaged and the programme information lost, it is impossible to restore that information.

● After recording a tape with this recorder, write the tape number on a label and affix the label to the cassette in order to allow you to find the tape by its number.

Manual Tracking

Your video recorder is equipped with automatic tracking control. For most tapes this will automatically adjust the tracking to suit the particular tape you are playing. In some circumstances it may be necessary to make manual tracking adjustments. This is usually only associated with old or worn tapes or recordings made on old or worn recorders. If the automatic tracking control fails to operate correctly you will see noise bars across the picture as shown on the left below. To correct this you can override the automatic control and adjust the tracking manually by pressing the PR buttons.

Digital TBC/NR

Your video recorder is equipped with a 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.

* The default setting is "ON".

We recommend that you use the Digital TBC feature when...

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

... playing back a tape repeatedly used.

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

1

ACTIVATE DIGITAL TBC/NR

Press DIGITAL TBC/NR so that the DIGITAL TBC/NR indicator lights up.

● To turn off DIGITAL TBC/NR, press DIGITAL TBC/NR again so that the indicator goes off.

NOTES:

● If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, there may be cases where the picture becomes 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, turn off Digital TBC/NR.

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.

● The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress (

Z

pg. 42).

● 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. 17).

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 when you are ready 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 38.

● 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 38.

● "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.

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.

NOTES:

● Suitable leads can be obtained from your dealer.

● Insert editing is not possible with cassettes whose safety tab has been removed.

● When insert editing is performed on a tape that has been recorded on another video recorder, the inserted portion may appear distorted.

● In insert editing, the recording speed (SP/LP) is determined by the previous recording to be replaced. If the previous recording's speed changes within a single edit, the inserted picture will be distorted at the switching point.

● A small portion of the recording which precedes an insert edit may become erased.

● Insert Editing is also possible using the rear panel AV1 (L-1) IN/

OUT or AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector. When using these connectors, make sure to select the correct input mode in step

START R.A.EDIT

Press START (or OK).

● Automatic editing begins; all the specified scenes are copied to the recording deck in the order they were registered.

● The on-screen display remains while your recorder searches for each scene (blinking cursor indicates scene currently being searched for), but disappears during actual editing.

● While your recorder is searching for each scene, you can hear high-speed sound (which is not TimeScan

Audio).

● During scene search, the recording deck automatically enters its Record-Standby mode.

● When all registered scenes have been edited, your recorder enters the Pause mode, the recording deck enters its Record-Standby mode, and the cursor blinks at the next available number.

END R.A.EDIT

Press MENU to return to the normal screen, and engage the Stop mode for your recorder and for the recording deck.

57

NOTES:

● You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes you want to edit in steps 7 – 8. Since you can hear the soundtrack during selection, you can avoid abrupt or unnatural sounding scene-to-scene transitions. The sound that is heard, however, is not TimeScan Audio.

● When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the source tape between the locations you chose as edit-in/-out points and the locations your recorder recognizes as those points.

● For any scene, the edit-out point must have a counter reading that is at least 1 second after the corresponding edit-in point. Any less than 1 second and the edit-out point will not be registered.

● Since the source recorder prerolls during Random Assemble

Editing, there must be at least 15 seconds worth of recorded material prior to any edit-in point on the source tape.

● If the search time for an edit-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording deck enters its Stop mode and editing will not take place.

● During steps 7 and 8 — if you engage the Pause mode while registering edit-in and -out points in the R.A.Edit screen, the characters in the on-screen display may become distorted. This is normal.

To Make Corrections . . .

. . . during step 7 or 8, you can cancel registered in and out points by pressing . Each time you press, the preceding point is erased.

● If, for example, you have registered 5 sets of in and out points and want to reset the first set, you have to press until all points after the first set have been erased. Reenter them after you've repaired the first set of points.

Memory Capacity

Random Assemble Editing shares memory space with the recorder's timer. If there are programs occupied by timer-recording data, those spaces cannot be used to register edit-in and -out points — meaning you won't be able to edit

8 scenes.

● When all 8 programs are full,

"PROGRAM FULL" appears on the R.A.EDIT screen.

● To cancel a program, see page 22.

MAKE CONNECTIONS

Connect the AUDIO OUT L and R connectors on your video recorder to the AUX IN or TAPE MONITOR terminals on your stereo system's receiver or amplifier.

NOTES:

● When connecting your recorder's audio output connectors to a stereo amplifier, make sure you connect L and R correctly.

● If you can receive NICAM TV broadcasts in your area, this recorder can record them independently of the TV set and play them back through the connected stereo system.

● When listening to sound through the connected stereo system, turn the TV's volume down completely.


CAUTIONS:

● This recorder has a dynamic range of more than 80 dB with regards to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that you check the maximum level if you are going to listen to the

Hi-Fi audio signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge in the input level to the speakers may damage them.

● Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this can adversely affect the video playback picture.
