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.

The OPERATE button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches operating current on and off.

Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP

(Long 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.

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.

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

n HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.

NOTES:

● The B.E.S.T. system works for 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.

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 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

3 on page 18.

Playback

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

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.

START PLAYBACK

Press PLAY.

● 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.

NOTES:

● When watching a rental tape, or one recorded on another video recorder, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps 2 through 4 on page 18.

● "B.E.S.T." only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking.

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

TIMER RECORDING

The G-Code timer programming system eliminates the need to input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the timer record function. Simply key in the G-Code number for the

TV program you wish to record (found in most TV listings) and the recorder’s timer is automatically programmed.

Depending on the TV or cable stations that you receive and the channel numbers that they are received on in your area, you may have to make certain changes in your recorder’s “Guide Prog.

Set” menu to get proper results. Please read the following information carefully to find out which tasks you need to perform.

Before G-Code setup you must have performed the following procedures:

● Tuner setting (

● Clock setting (

Z

pg. 6)

Z

pg. 9)

Channel Number Matching

Most TV listings have a chart indicating the “Guide Prog.” number assigned to each station for purposes of G-Code programming. Check the chart in your TV listings and see if the

Guide Prog. numbers listed for the stations you receive are the same as the channel number on which each is received by your recorder .

If the numbers match, go directly to “G-Code Timer Programming” (

Z

pg. 22).

If the numbers are different, and you want to be able to timer record programs from those stations, you have to inform the recorder of the mismatch. Go to step 1. If you will not want to timer record from those stations, you can go directly to “G-

Code Timer Programming” (

NOTES:

● You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes you want to edit in steps 6 – 7. Since you can hear the soundtrack during selection, you can avoid abrupt or unnatural sounding scene-to-scene transitions.

● 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 6 and 7 — 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 6 or 7, you can cancel registered in and out points by pressing CANCEL on the remote control. 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 CANCEL 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.

PROGRAM FULL

0:00:00

(+) 0:00:00

● When all 8 programs are full, "PROGRAM FULL" appears on the R.A. EDIT screen.

● To cancel a program, see page 25.

RM-V704U Multi-Brand R.A. Edit Controller
