SAFETY FIRST

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 inter-

rupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such

troubles occur.

NOTES:

●

The Auto SP/LP Timer feature is not available during ITR

properly with any tapes longer than E-180 as well as some

tapes of shorter lenghs.

●

Even if, in step 1, you press AUTO SP/LP TIMER and the

automatically change from SP to LP mode during the course

of the recording. Watch the tape later to confirm.

●

If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or

more programs, the second programme and those thereafter

may not fit on the tape if you engage the Auto SP/LP Timer

PDC/VPS 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 advertised times you preset in 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 manually enter programmes (regular timer

programming), set the start time (PDC or VPS time) exactly as

advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised

will result in no recording.

●

PDC/VPS recording is not possible in areas where no TV

station transmits PDC or VPS signals.

●

PDC/VPS recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a

cable system is connected to the AV2 IN/DECODER

connector on your recorder.

●

PDC/VPS recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT

connector and the front panel connectors.

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

(Not provided)

By connecting this controller to your recorder's R.A. EDIT

connector, you can perform Random Assemble Editing in

combination with a second non-JVC video recorder. The controller

is compatible with various major recorder brands. For compatible

systems and availability, please consult your JVC dealer.

NOTE:

Although the RM-V704U is designed to operate the recording

deck, it may not work with some recorders, or may have limited

function capability.

NOTES:

●

You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes

you want to edit in steps 8 – 9. 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 8 and 9 — 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.

soundtrack through the stereo.

MAKE CONNECTIONS

a– Connect the AUDIO IN L and R on your video recorder

to the audio output connectors on your amplifier.

b– 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.

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.

NOTES:

●

When connecting your recorder’s audio output connectors to

a stereo amplifier, make sure you connect L and R correctly.

●

If stereo or bilingual TV broadcasts are receivable 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.

CLOCK SET

PUSH JOG

IMPORTANT

Perform the following steps only if auto clock set has not

been set correctly by Auto Set Up function (Z pg. 6) or

Auto Channel Set (Z pg. 50) or if the recorder's memory

backup has expired.

If you performed Auto Set Up or Auto Channel Set without ever

having set the clock previously, the recorder’s built-in clock is

also set automatically. The Auto and Manual clock setting

procedures are necessary when . . .

– a power outage of more than 60 minutes occurs.

– the tuner has been set manually.

– the user desires to set the clock slightly ahead of the actual

time.

– the clock was not set even after Auto Set Up or Auto

Channel Set was performed.

Whether you perform Auto or Manual clock setting, you can

use the convenient Just Clock function.

Just Clock

The Just Clock function provides accurate time keeping

through automatic adjustments at regular intervals, by

reading data from a PDC signal.

The Just Clock option appears in the Clock Set and Auto

Clock screens, and can be set “ON” or “OFF” (the default

setting is “OFF”). Press OK until the Just Clock setting

begins blinking, then press PUSH JOG%ﬁ to change the

setting.

IMPORTANT: If you turn off Just Clock, the accuracy of

your recorder’s built-in clock may be reduced, which could

adversely effect timer recording. We recommend you to

keep Just Clock on. In cases where the clock setting data

from a PDC signal is incorrect, however, you are advised to

keep Just Clock set to "OFF".

* Just Clock does not work in areas where no TV station

transmits PDC signals.

Both Auto and Manual clock setting procedures begin from step 4.

NOTES:

●

Auto Clock and Just Clock require a PDC signal, and will not

operate with a VPS signal.

●

Just Clock (when set to "ON") enables adjustment of the

recorder's built-in clock every hour on the hour, except for

23:00, 0:00, 1:00 and 2:00.

●

Just Clock is not effective when . . .

– the recorder’s power is on (unless the recorder is tuned to

the same channel position selected in the Clock Set screen).

– the recorder is in the Timer mode.

– a difference of more than 3 minutes exists between the

built-in clock’s time and the actual time.

●

If Just Clock is set to "ON", the recorder’s clock is automati-

cally adjusted at the start/end of Summer Time.

●

Auto clock setting and Just Clock may not function properly

depending on the reception condition.

●

During Manual clock setting, if the day and month data are

invalid (such as 31st April), the month digits are cleared

automatically and the day digits begin blinking. Input the

correct data.

●

If, in step 4 of the Manual clock setting procedure, the year

digits are automatically cleared and the day digits begin

blinking, it is possible that you have input 29th February for a

non-leap year. Input the correct data.
