L/HI-FI R/NORM/MIX

This VCR can record two sound tracks simultaneously (normal and

Hi-Fi) on a Hi-Fi stereo tape. You can select the sound track(s) to listen to while playing back a Hi-Fi stereo tape. In addition, when playing back a prerecorded tape containing two separate audio programs on the Hi-Fi tracks, you can choose either one by selecting either "HI-FI L" or "HI-FI R".

HI-FI: Normally select this. Hi-Fi sound is played back.

HI-FI L: Sound on the left Hi-Fi channel is played back.

HI-FI R: Sound on the right Hi-Fi channel is played back.

NORM: Sound on the normal track is played back.

MIX: Both sounds on the Hi-Fi track and normal track are mixed and played back.

NOTES:

• Whileplaying back a monaural tape, sounds on the normal

track will be heard regardless of this setting.

• tfRF connection (_2 pg. 5) is used for viewing pictures on the

TV, sound will be monaural even though you select "HI-FI".

• You can also use the A.MONITOR

button on the Remote to select the desired monitor sound. (_2 pg. 9)

•

S-VHS MODE -ON/OFF

You can determine which recording mode -- either S-VHS mode or VHS mode -- is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.

• When this function is set to "ON", you can record on S-VHS tapes with S-VHS picture quality.

• When this function is set to "OFF", you can record on S-VHS tapes with VHS picture quality.

NOTES:

• S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings

with horizontal resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230 lines of resolution of conventional VHS recordings. To achieve the highest quality picture we recommended to record in S-VHS mode. (But remember that a conventional VHS VCR without

SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.)

• S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes.

Recording on VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode except when using S-VHS ET mode (_2 pg. 15).

•

AV COMPU-LINK -- ON/OFF

The remote PAUSE/AV COMPULINK terminal on the rear panel can be used as either the remote PAUSE terminal or the AV

COMPULINK terminal.

• When this function is set to "ON", you can use this terminal as the AV COMPULINK terminal.

By connecting other JVC's AV

COMPULINK components, including amplifiers (or receivers) and televisions, one touch control of the audio and video components linked via their AV COMPULINK connectors becomes possible.

• When this function is set to "OFF", you can use this terminal as the remote PAUSE terminal.

If your JVC camcorder is equipped with the Master Edit Control, you can control the VCR from the camcorder. Connect the mini-plug cable (not supplied with this

VCR) between the remote PAUSE terminal and the EDIT connector on the camcorder.

NOTE:

Refer to the other components' instruction manuals for connection and its operations.

This Remote is capable of transmitting two control codes; one set to respond to A code control signals and another set to respond to

B code control signals. This Remote control is preset to send A code signals because your VCR is initially set to respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your VCR and the Remote to respond to B code signals. When using two JVC VCRs, set two

VCRs and their Remotes to different codes, so that you can operate these VCRs separately.

Various connection for editing tapes

The following three methods can be used for editing tapes.

• VHS to S-VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO

connection):

Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the original

VHS quality, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

• S-VHS to VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO

connection):

Since the original source is recorded in S-VHS mode, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

• S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection):

Original picture quality of S-VHS made can be duplicated with minimal picture degradation.

This is the best editing method you can use on S-VHS VCRs.
