n Please read the various precautions on p. 2 – 3 of this

instruction manual 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 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 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. 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 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. n Cassettes marked "VHS" (or "S-VHS") can be used with this video recorder. However, only VHS recordings can be made and played back. n HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment. n Video Plus+ and PlusCode are trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation.

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 (Z 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.

Satellite Receiver Users To timer-record a satellite broadcast using Express Timer Programming: 1 Perform steps 1 – 10. Enter "L-2" for the preset position in step 6. 2 Set the satellite receiver to the appropriate channel before the selected programme begins. 3 Leave the satellite receiver's power on. NOTE: You can programme this recorder to timer-record as many as 8 programmes. If you try to programme the recorder to record a ninth, "PROGRAM FULL" appears on screen and "FULL" appears on the front display panel. To record the extra programme, you must first cancel any unnecessary programmes (Z pg. 16). 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. (Z step 8 in the left column). NOTES: ●Set the start time (PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording. ●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. PDC Recording Timer Warning If you have programmed your recorder to timer-record a programme or a series of programmes, a warning appears on the screen to tell you that the recording is due to start in 5 minutes. NOTES: ●The warning only appears if you’re not in the Timer mode at the time. ●If this recorder is being used as the player for tape dubbing, the warning screen will be recorded on the tape in the other video recorder.

NOTES: ●The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated. It does not work during recording. ●The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress (Z pg. 22). ●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 re- performed. ●Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording (Z pg. 11). 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 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. ●If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin recording immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF” in step 4 on page 18. Playback The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate playback. START PLAYBACK 1 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. “BEST” appears blinking on the recorder’s display panel. NOTES: ●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. ●When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps 1 through 5 on page 18. ●"BEST" only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though it doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative.

Your video recorder is equipped with automatic tracking

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 correspond- ing to the broadcasting station you wish to record has been selected (Z 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 Z "Delete A Channel" on page 35. NOTES: ●Fine tuning is performed automatically during Auto Channel Set. If you wish to perform it manually, refer to page 35. ●If, for any reason, you perform Auto Channel Set when the aerial cable is not connected properly, "SCAN COMPLETED - NO SIGNAL-" appears on the screen in step 4. When this happens, make sure of the aerial connection and press OK; Auto Channel Set will take place again. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 2 4 1 3 ?
