SECURITE D'ABORD

Pour votre sécurité

La plaque d'identification et les précautions à observer pour votre sécurité se trouvent sur l'arrière de l'appareil.

ATTENTION: TENSION DANGEREUSE A L'INTERIEUR ATTENTION: POUR EVITER TOUT RISQUE D'INCENDIE OU D'ELECTROCUTION, NE PAS EXPOSER

CET APPAREIL A LA PLUIE NI A L'HUMIDITE.

ATTENTION

n Si vous n'avez pas l'intention d'utiliser le magnétoscope

pendant une longue période, il est recommandé de débrancher son cordon d'alimentation de la prise secteur.

n Tension dangereuse à l'intérieur. Pour les réparations

internes, s'adresser à un personnel qualifié. Pour éviter l'électrocution ou les risques d'incendie, débrancher le cordon d'alimentation de la prise secteur avant de raccorder ou de débrancher tout câble de signal ou d'antenne.

IMPORTANT

n Bien lire les diverses précautions de cette page avant

d'installer ou de faire fonctionner le magnétoscope.

n Il peut être illégal de réenregistrer des cassettes

préenregistrées, des disques ou d'autres matériels protégés par copyright sans le consentement du détenteur des droits d'auteur du son ou de l'enregistrement vidéo.

La touche MARCHE ne coupe pas complètement l'alimentation de l'appareil, mais commute le courant de fonctionnement.

Les bandes vidéo enregistrées avec ce magnétoscope dans le mode LD (longue durée) ne peuvent pas être lues sur un magnétoscope à simple vitesse.

A PROPOS DU NETTOYAGE DES TÊTES

L’accumulation de poussières et d’autres particules sur les têtes vidéo peut rendre l’image de lecture brouillée ou interrompue. Contacter le revendeur JVC le plus proche si de tels problèmes se produisent.

PAL SECAM

n Seules les cassettes portant la marque "VHS" peuvent être

utilisées avec ce magnétoscope.

n Le VHS HQ est compatible avec le matériel VHS existant. n S

HOWVIEW est une marque déposée par Gemstar Develop-

ment Corporation. Le système SHOWVIEW est fabriqué sous licence de Gemstar Development Corporation.

n Certain audio features of this product manufactured under a

license from Desper Products, Inc. Spatializert is a trademark owned by Desper Products, Inc.

Précautions à observer

Bien respecter ces consignes de sécurité. Ne pas le faire peut causer des dommages au magnétoscope, à la télécommande ou à la cassette.

Utiliser l'appareil en position horizontale et stable seulement

Eviter les endroits très chauds et l'exposition au soleil

Eviter les champs magnétiques puissants

Eviter les endroits très froids

Ne pas boucher les grilles d'aération sur le magnétoscope

Ne pas poser d'objets lourds sur le magnétoscope ou sur la télécommande

Ne pas poser d'objets susceptibles de se renverser sur le dessus du magnétoscope ou de la télécommande

Attention à la condensation

L'humidité dans l'air se condensera sur le magnétoscope quand vous le transportez d'une pièce froide à une pièce chaude, ou sous des conditions de très forte humidité, comme des gouttelettes d'eau qui se forment à la surface d'un verre rempli avec un liquide froid. La condensation de l'humidité sur le tambour de têtes causera des dommages à la bande. Dans les cas où de la condensation se produit, laisser l'alimentation pendant quelques heures pour que le magnétoscope sèche.

En cas de transport

n Bien retirer la cassette du

magnétoscope avant de l'emballer

n Eviter des chocs violents au

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 NICAM or A2 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.

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.

INITIAL SETTINGS

The Auto Set Up function sets the clock, tuner channels and Guide Channels automatically when the button on the recorder/remote is first pressed to power on the recorder after you plug the mains power cord into a mains outlet.

Before starting the following procedure, make sure that the TV aerial cable is connected to the recorder and that the recorder's mains power cord is connected to a mains outlet (Z pg.10).

PERFORM AUTO SET UP

Press on the recorder or remote control.

NOTES:

●

"Auto" appears on the display panel and blinks; do NOT press any button on the recorder or remote control until the display panel shows the current time or "CH1" or "--:--".

● Auto channel set function takes place first; it assigns automatically all receivable stations in your area so that you can call them up with the CHAINE buttons without going through any vacant channel.

● Auto clock set function sets the clock automatically by reading the clock setting data from a station transmitting a PDC signal while auto channel set is being performed.

● During auto channel set, the recorder recognizes each station name of the detected stations which transmit a PDC signal by reading the NI (= Network Identification) code, stores them in the recorder's memory, and then automatically sets SHOWVIEW assigned Guide Channel for those stations according to the broadcast area. Depending on the reception conditions, the station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Channel set may not work properly; check if the Guide Channels have been set correctly (Z pg.24, "SHOWVIEW Setup").

If the TV power is on and its AV mode is selected during Auto Set Up, the REG.AUTO.DES CANAUX screen will appear. If there is a power cut, or if you press or MENU while Auto Set Up is in progress, Auto Set Up will be interrupted; be sure to turn off the recorder power once and press to turn the power back on to re-start Auto Set Up. If the memory backup fails because there has been a power cut or the mains power has been removed from the recorder, since all the assigned tuner channels and their Guide Channels remain in the recorder's memory, the recorder will not perform Auto Set Up even if you press to turn the recorder power back on. Simply perform clock set procedure (Z pg. 22).

● When Auto Set Up has been completed successfully the correct current time will be displayed.

● When auto channel set has been completed successfully but auto clock set has not, "CH" will be displayed.

● When neither auto channel set nor auto clock set has been completed successfully, "--:--" will be displayed.

* See "SHOWVIEW Setup" on page 24 to check if the Guide Channels have been set correctly.

If Auto Set Up has been performed successfully:

Turn on the TV and select its AV mode, then make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the recorder's memory

by using the CHAINE button(s).

● If station names (ID — Z pg. 21) have also been stored in the recorder's memory, the station name will be displayed at the top left corner of the screen for about 5 seconds when the channel is changed.

● If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change preset positions, or to set or change station names, see pages 18 – 21.

2 Perform "SHOWVIEW Setup" on page 24 to check if the Guide Channels have been set correctly.

If auto channel set has succeeded but auto clock set has not:

Turn on the TV and select its AV mode, then make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the recorder's memory

by using the CHAINE button(s).

● If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change preset positions, or to set or change station names, see pages 18 – 21.

2 Perform "Clock Set" on page 22, then "SHOWVIEW Setup" on page 24 to check if the Guide Channels have been set correctly.

If both auto channel set and auto clock set have failed:

1 Make sure the TV aerial cable is connected properly to the recorder and turn off the recorder power once, then turn the

recorder power back on again.

● The recorder will try Auto Set Up again.
