SAFETY FIRST

IMPORTANT

■Please read the various precautions on p. 2 – 3 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 record-

ing, 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:

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.

Blue to N (Neutral) or Black

Brown to L (Live) or Red

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 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.

Safety Precautions

Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP

(Long Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-speed

video recorder.

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.

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.

■Cassettes marked "VHS" (or "S-VHS") can be used with this

video recorder. However, only VHS recordings can be made

and played back.

■HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.

■VIDEO Plus+ and PlusCode are registered trademarks of

Gemstar Development Corporation. The VIDEO Plus+ system

is manufactured under license from Gemstar Development

Corporation.

PAL

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 equip-

ment.

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 de-

signed 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. Overheat-

ing 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 instruc-

tions.

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!

automatically the first time the button on the recorder or on the remote is pressed to turn on the recorder after the mains power

cord has been plugged into a mains outlet.

Before performing the following procedure, make sure that:

■the TV aerial cable is connected to the recorder.

■the mains power cord is plugged into the mains outlet.

■batteries have been installed in the remote control.

ATTENTION

Once you have performed Auto Set Up, all the stored

stations, Guide Program numbers and the video channel

remain in the recorder's memory and the recorder will not

perform Auto Set Up again. If there is a power cut and the

recorder's memory backup expires you only need to reset

the clock. (☞ pg. 39)

If you have moved to a different area, perform each setting

as required.

■Video Channel setting (for RF connection users) ☞ pg. 30

■Tuner setting ☞ pg. 32

IMPORTANT

■In certain reception conditions, station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Program Number Set may not work

properly. If the Guide Program numbers are not set properly, when you timer-record a TV programme using VIDEO Plus+, the

recorder will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using VIDEO Plus+, be sure to check

that the preset position corresponding to the broadcasting station you wish to record has been selected (☞ pg. 12, "VIDEO

Plus+ Timer Programming").

■Your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality

may be poor. To delete those stations which have an unacceptable picture ☞ "Delete A Channel" on page 35.

■If any of the above problems occur, refer to pages 34 – 36 to input station names (☞ "Set Stations") or delete unnecessary

stations (☞ "Delete A Channel"). You can also change station preset positions (☞ "Change Station Preset Position").

■For RF connection users: In certain reception conditions, the Video Channel may not be set correctly and interference may

appear in the TV picture while the recorder's power is on. Set your Video Channel manually. ☞ pg. 30, "Video Channel Set".

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 only in a very few 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 (☞ step 5 above).

NOTES:

●

PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 IN on your recorder.

●

PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT connector.

The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-

performed.

●

Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is

displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording

(

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, re-

enters RECORD PAUSE.

2) Press PLAY when you are ready to start recording.

LP Timer feature is not available during ITR

(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work

properly with any tapes longer than E-180 or with some tapes

of shorter lengths.

●

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

programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may

not fit on the tape if you set "AUTO SP

→

LP TIMER" to "ON". In

this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape

speed manually during timer programming.

●

In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this

feature may leave a short non-recorded section at the end of

the tape.

●

There may be some picture noise and sound disturbance at

the point on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to

LP mode.

●

If you perform timer recording with both PDC and the Auto

SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

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.

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 video recorder indefinitely remain in the

still mode?

A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes 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.
