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
■Please read the various precautions on pages 2–4 of this instruction manual 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.
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.
CAUTION
■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.
The STANDBY/ON o button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches
operating current on and off. “y ” shows electrical power standby and “ z” shows ON.
Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long Play) mode cannot be played back on
a single-speed video recorder.
HR-V705EK-EN/p02-07 1/25/03, 10:57 AM2
safety first 3
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 con-
tainers 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.

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 interconnec-
tions 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 require-
ments 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!

ment from your new unit.

GETTING EVERYTHING READY (continued)
connect cables Connect the cables as indicated in the diagram (below), using
the TV Aerial Cable, the RF Cable and the 21-pin SCART Cable (not provided).
scart and rf
SCART is a
recommended option
because its use
improves the quality of
the picture.
If connecting to a stereo
TV you will need a
SCART cable.
There are several types
of SCART cables, fully-
wired and others.
If you use a SCART
cable, you must also
connect the RF cable. You are now ready to start the Three-Step Quick Start which begins on the next
page.
You have two ways for initial setup of your new VCR depending upon the
connection method and your TV.
If you have connected only the RF cable,
perform Auto Setup (墌 pg. 10).
If you have connected both the RF cable and the fully-
wired 21-pin SCART cable, and if your TV does not offer
T-VLink, etc.*,
perform Auto Setup (墌 pg. 10).
If you have connected both the RF cable and the fully-
wired 21-pin SCART cable, and if your TV offer T-VLink,
etc.*,
perform Preset Download (墌 pg. 11).
* Compatible with TVs offering T-VLink, EasyLink, Megalogic, SMARTLINK,
Q-Link, DATA LOGIC or NexTView Link via fully-wired 21-pin SCART cable.
The degree of compatibility and available functions may differ by system.

START AUTO SETUP
Press the o button. If ‘Auto’ appears on the display panel, press (or E).
what will happen? The display panel on the front of the VCR will show the
word ‘Auto’. Do not press any button on the VCR or the Remote Control.
note If you have connected both the RF cable and the fully-wired 21-pin SCART
cable, and if your TV offers T-VLink, etc., and the TV is turned on, the VCR
automatically performs the Preset Download (墌 pg. 11) even if you select ‘Auto’
for Auto Setup function.
The VCR is automatically setting up the tuner
channels, clock, the VIDEO Plus+ assigned Guide
Program numbers and the video channel. This only
happens the first time that the VCR is turned on.
rf and scart connection If you have chosen to
connect the VCR to the TV with both the RF Cable
and a 21-pin SCART Cable (not provided) and the
TV set is in its AV mode (see the TV manual), you
will see the following information displayed on
your TV screen:
SELECT THE VIDEO CHANNEL
When Auto Setup has finished, you will see the following display panel on your VCR:
rf cable only If you have only used the RF
Cable to connect the VCR to the TV, you will
see this display. The number is the channel on
the TV that the Auto Setup has chosen to be the
video channel. In the example, we have presumed that channel 52 is vacant and
have set the VCR to 52:
Now tune the TV set to channel 52 (refer to TV manual if
necessary); you should see two vertical white bars appear
on the TV screen. If the bars do not appear or are not
clear, choose another vacant channel pressing PR +/ -- on
the Remote Control and try again. If you cannot obtain
the vertical white bars on any channel between 22 and 69,
consult your local JVC dealer.
rf and scart connection If you have chosen
to connect the VCR to the TV with both the RF
Cable and a 21-pin SCART Cable (not provided),
you need to press PR -- on the Remote Control
until the figure reads ‘– –’. This is because you will use the TV in AV mode to view
video pictures and therefore do not need a dedicated video channel.

•re-running setup Auto Setup or Preset Download may not behave as
described if it has already been run on the VCR. This is because some of the
information gathered on the first Auto Setup or Preset Download is retained in
memory and that part of the process may be skipped by the VCR.
•bad reception In certain reception conditions, station names may not be
stored correctly, and Guide Program Numbers may not be set properly. If this
happens, when you timer-record a TV programme using the VIDEO Plus+

Video Channel Set
The VCR can send picture signals to the TV set in one of two ways; RF
(ordinary cable included with this VCR) and AV (via a 21-pin SCART cable
available from TV and Hi-Fi dealers). Depending upon which method you
use, the VCR must have the correct method set up in order to work. The Auto
Setup procedure normally takes care of this but if for any reason this fails to
happen, the instructions below describe how to set the Video Channel
manually.
Access Video Channel Mode
Press and hold the S button for 5 seconds on
the VCR until the display panel shows the
following information:
Set Video Channel
for av connection Press
PR
until the
display panel shows:
The Video Channel is now set to OFF.
Go to Step 3.
for rf connection Press PR or
PR
to set
the VCR to a vacant channel number between 52
and 69 which is not occupied by any station in
your area (refer to station list on page53). In the
example, we have presumed that channel 52 is vacant and have set the VCR to 52:
Now tune the TV set to channel 52 (refer to TV manual if
necessary); you should see two vertical white bars appear
on the TV screen. If the bars do not appear or are not
clear, choose another vacant channel and try again. If you
cannot obtain the vertical white bars on any channel
between 52 and 69, consult your local JVC dealer.
Exit Video Channel Set Mode
Press .
To view pictures from your VCR you must now set your TV to either the Video
Channel or to AV mode, depending upon your choice above.

Tuner Set
The VCR needs to find, identify and memorise all available stations in your area in order to
record programmes correctly. Once done, pressing the PR or
PR
buttons enables you to
jump to the available channels without going via any vacant channels. This channel search
can be done either automatically or manually. You should only need to perform either of the
following procedures if Auto Setup or Preset Download has failed to identify and record
available channels or you have moved to a new area.
Auto Channel Setup
get to the main menu Press .
perform auto channel set Move the highlight bar to AUTO CH
SET using the PR and
PR
buttons and press (or E) twice.
rf and scart connection If you have chosen to connect the
VCR to the TV with both the RF Cable and a 21-pin SCART Cable
(not provided) and the TV set is in its AV mode (see the TV
manual), the AUTO SET screen will appear on the TV and remains
there for about 4–12 minutes while the VCR searches for receivable
stations. During Auto Channel Set the
S
mark on the screen moves from left to right.
note: If you have connected both the RF cable and the fully-wired
21-pin SCART cable, and if your TV offers T-V Link, etc., and the
TV is turned on, the VCR automatically performs the Preset
Download ( pg. 11) even if you select “Auto’ for Auto Setup
function.
The caption SCAN COMPLETED appears at the end of the process for
about 5 seconds.
confirmation screen Once Auto Channel Set has completed its
search, the confirmation screen will appear showing the details
(PR = Preset Number, CH = Channel Number and ID = Station
Name) of the TV stations that the process has found. The first
station will have a highlight bar over it and will be blinking. This
screen and the programme currently being broadcast on the
selected station will alternate at 8second intervals. To view the
next channel, press the PR and
PR
buttons to move the
highlight bar to the required channel.
return to normal screen Press .
NOTES ON CHANNEL RECEPTION
incorrect station id In certain reception conditions, station
names may not be stored correctly by the VCR and Auto Guide Program Number Set may not
work properly. If the Guide Program Numbers are not set, entering a PlusCode number, may
result in an incorrect channel being recorded.
poor reception The VCR memorises all stations found regardless of their quality. If a station’s
quality is poor, you can delete that station from the memory (see page 50).

Notes on Just Clock
Some TV stations transmit a time signal with their broadcasts. This VCR has the ability to use
this signal to update its internal clock (including the adjustment for British Summer Time). It will
do this every hour except for 23:00, 00:00, 01:00 and 02:00. By setting Just Clock to ON, you are
enabling the VCR to do this.
Just Clock is not effective in the following circumstances:
• when the VCR is powered on
• when the VCR is in Timer or Auto Satellite Programme Recording modes
• when a difference of more than 3minutes between the internal clock and the time signal exists.
• when reception conditions are poor.

Question 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 VCR indefinitely remain in the
still mode?
A: No. It stops automatically after 5minutes
to protect the heads.
Q: During search, slow, still and frame-by-
frame playback, I can’t hear any audio.
What’s the problem?
A: This is normal.
Q: When returning from variable-speed
search to normal playback, the picture is
disturbed. Should I be concerned about
this?
A: No, it is normal.
Q: Noise bars appear during variable-speed
search. What’s the problem?
A: This is normal.
Q: Sometimes, during Index Search, the
VCR can’t find the programme I want to
see. Why not?
A: There may be index codes too close
together.
RECORDING
Q: When I pause and then resume a
recording, the end of the recording before
the pause is overlapped by the beginning of
the continuation of recording. Why does
this happen?
A: This is normal. It reduces distortion at the
pause and resume points.
Q: Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the
Record-Pause mode?
A: No. The VCR shuts off automatically after
5minutes to protect the heads.
Q: What happens if the tape runs out
during recording?
A:The VCR stops recording, then if Timer
Recording, the VCR shuts off.
TIMER RECORDING
Q: U and c remain lit on the 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 program or tape you’re viewing can be
heard.
