There are two different types of SECAM colour systems: SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called SECAM-West), and SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called SECAM-East).

1.This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television signals for recording and playback.

2.Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on a video recorder of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on a PAL video recorder with SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-compatible).

3.SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome pictures when played back with this recorder.

4.This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.

For Italy:

"It is declared that this product, brand JVC, conforms to the Ministry Decree n. 548 of 28 Aug.'95 published in the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic n. 301 of 28 Dec.'95"

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 interrupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such troubles occur.

INSTALLING YOUR NEW RECORDER

It's essential that your video recorder be properly connected. Follow these steps carefully. THESE STEPS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE ANY VIDEO OPERATION CAN BE PERFORMED.

n 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 SHOWVIEW, the recorder will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using SHOWVIEW, be sure to check whether the channel position on which your recorder receives the broadcasting station you wish to record is selected (Z pg. 22, "SHOWVIEW Timer Programming").

n 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 with an unacceptable picture Z "Delete A Channel" on page 39.

n 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. Z pg. 44, "Video Channel Set".

● The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of the tape, then begins recording.

NOTES:

●

The B.E.S.T. system works 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. 28).

●

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 reperformed.

●

Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording (Z pg. 18).

Playback

The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate playback.

START PLAYBACK

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 20.

●

"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.

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, reenters RECORD PAUSE.

2) Press PLAY 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 20.

VPS/PDC 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 the advertised times 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.

NOTES:

●

When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

●

VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a cable system is connected to AV2 IN/DECODER on your recorder.

TIMER RECORDING (cont.)

This facility allows you record automatically a satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your external satellite tuner. Connect a satellite tuner to the recorder's AV2 IN/DECODER connector (Z pg. 32) and programme the timer on the satellite tuner; the recorder starts recording when the signals input from the satellite tuner to the AV2 IN/DECODER connector, and when there is no input signals the recorder stops recording and the power shuts off.

Before performing the following steps:

● Make sure the satellite tuner is connected to the recorder's AV2 IN/DECODER connector. (Z pg. 32)

● Programme the timer on the satellite tuner.

● Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place.

SELECT AV2 SELECT MODE

Set "AV2 SELECT" to "AV2" (Z pg. 31).

ENGAGE AUTO SATELLITE PROG REC MODE

Press and hold REC LINK on the recorder for about 2 seconds. The REC LINK indicator lights up and the

recorder turns off automatically.

● To disengage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, press REC LINK. The REC LINK indicator goes off.

● If the recorder's power is off, it is not possible to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.

NOTES:

●

Auto Satellite Prog recording is possible with the AV2 IN/DECODER connector only. (Z pg. 33)

●

For timer programming of the satellite tuner, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite tuner.

●

Auto Satellite Prog recording is not possible if your satellite tuner does not have a timer.

●

The REC LINK indicator blinks while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.

●

Pressing the recorder's button while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress turns off the recorder's power and disengage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.

●

The B.E.S.T. system (Z pg. 20) does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.

●

Just Clock (Z pg. 42) does not work when the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged.

●

Depending on the type of satellite tuner, the recorder may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the programme or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the programme.

●

If you engage the Auto Satellite Prog Recording mode when the satellite tuner's power is on, the recorder will not start Auto Satellite Prog recording even though the REC LINK indicator blinks. When the satellite tuner shuts off once and is turned back on again, the recorder starts recording.

●

When the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged or the recorder's power is turned off after Auto Satellite Prog recording is finished, the recorder will not enter the Timer mode even though "AUTO TIMER" is set to "ON".

●

After Auto Satellite Programme recording, the number of recorded programmes will not be displayed on the front display panel for the Instant ReView function (Z pg. 15).

●

You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.

●

When you press and hold the recorder's REC LINK button to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, if the REC LINK indicator does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite receiver's power is off, Auto Satellite Prog Recording will not work properly with that satellite receiver*. If this is the case, perform "Express Timer Programming" (Z pg. 24) to timer-record a satellite programme.

* Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Prog Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers.

IMPORTANT

Perform the following steps only if — — Video Channel Set has not been done correctly by the Auto Set Up function (Z pg. 4). — you set up the recorder's tuner by Preset Download (Z pg. 6) instead of using the Auto Set Up function. — interference appears in the TV picture after you have moved to a different area or a new station has started broadcasting in

your area.

— you change the connection between your recorder and TV from RF connection to AV connection, or vice versa.

If you have connected the video recorder to your TV via both the RF cable and a 21-pin SCART cable (AV connection), since you do not need the video channel you have to set the video channel to off.
