Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing the JVC Mini DV/S-VHS video cassette recorder. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions to ensure safe use of your new VCR.

CAUTION

WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK

HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

The

button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches operating current on and off. “ shows electrical power standby and “

This unit is produced to comply with Standard IEC 60065.

POWER SYSTEM:

This set operates on voltage of AC 110 V – 220 Vd, 60 Hz with automatic switching.

The rating plate and safety caution are on the rear of the unit.

IMPORTANT

It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

CAUTION

● When you are not using the VCR for a long period of time,

it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

● Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to

qualified service personnel. To prevent electric shock or fire hazard, remove the power cord from the AC outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal lead or aerial.

● Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void

user’s authority to operate the equipment.

” shows ON.

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 VCR, Remote or video cassette.

1. DO NOT place the VCR ... ... 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 VCR’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 VCR or Remote.

4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the VCR or Remote. (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 containers 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 VCR during transport.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form on 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 VCR’s power turned on for a few hours to evaporate the moisture before inserting a tape.

* Channel position is not displayed during playback.

NOTES:

The presence of a blank (unrecorded) portion in the middle of a tape can result in misoperation.

A “blank portion” of a tape is a section where nothing is recorded on the tape. If you start recording in a blank portion of a tape, the time codes will start from “0:00:00” again. If identical time codes are recorded in two different places on a tape, Random Assemble Editing and other similar functions might not operate properly.

In the following cases, you should play back the tape and confirm where a scene ends, and then begin recording from there:

●

When starting recording in the middle of a tape on which a recording has already been made.

●

When you finish recording on a tape, then played back that recording in order to check it, and now wish to continue recording.

Advantages of S-VHS video recorders

You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, S-VHS to VHS, or from S-VHS to S-VHS.

● From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently limited by that of the original, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

● From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the source material is very high, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

● From S-VHS to S-VHS: All signals will be transferred with minimum degradation.

NOTE:

When you want to receive an unstable channel with poor signals, set this function to “OFF”.

DIGITAL TBC/NR

OFF

Your VCR is equipped with the Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector) that removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes and rental cassettes. The on/off of Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables clear picture reproduction is also linked to this function. We recommend that you set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “ON” when ... ... playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder. ... playing back a tape repeatedly used. ... using this VCR as the source player for editing.

NOTES:

●

If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, the picture may become more stable with Digital TBC/NR set to off.

●

When “DIGITAL TBC/NR” is set to “ON”, if you play back a tape where certain types of signals are recorded (using a PC or some character generators), the playback picture may be distorted. If this is the case, set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “OFF”.

Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with “DIGITAL R3” set to “OFF”.

●

If you use the VCR as the source player for editing, be sure to set “DIGITAL R3” to “OFF” before starting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

PLAYBACK

Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached

during playback or search?

The tape is automatically rewound to the

beginning.

Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Still

mode?

No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes on the

VHS deck, 3 minutes on the DV deck to protect the heads.

Q. When returning from variable-speed search to

normal playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be concerned about this?

No, it is normal.

Q. Noise bar appear during variable-speed search.

What’s the problem?

This is normal.

Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the VCR can’t

find the program I want to see. Why not?

There may be index codes too close together.

RECORDING

TIMER RECORDING

Q. “o” and “#” remain lit on the front display

panel. Is there a problem?

No. This is a normal condition for a timer

recording in progress.

Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a

tape or a TV broadcast?

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.

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?

This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause

and resume points.

Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-

Pause mode?

No. The VCR goes to its Stop mode

automatically after 5 minutes to protect the heads.

Q. What happens if the tape runs out during

recording?

The VCR stops recording, and “
