EN 3

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

INFORMATION ON SIGNAL CONVERSION SYSTEM

PAL/SECAM Playback and Recording

Since your video recorder is capable of recording/playback of

two different colour system signals, PAL and SECAM, it is possible to convert PAL signals to SECAM signals and vice versa. This allows you to view a PAL tape on a SECAM TV, dub a PAL tape to a SECAM tape, and vice versa. You can select the appropriate setting in order to match the type of TV or another video recorder being used, referring to the tables as shown below and on the next page.

● Set the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch to PAL in order to convert the playback signals when you wish to view a SECAM tape on a PAL TV.

● If you set the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch to "OFF", the output signals will be the same as the one recorded on the cassette.

● The output signal will also be converted when you are watching a programme during recording.

● If you are using a dual-system (PAL/SECAM) TV, it is recommendable not to convert the playback signals with your video recorder for better picture quality.

● VPS signals cannot be detected properly when the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch is set to PAL or SECAM.

● If the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch is set to PAL or SECAM, the picture will be distorted momentarily when the video recorder is tuned to a different station or turned on/off.

● The picture quality degrades if the signals are converted. Be sure to set the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch to "OFF" when it's not necessary to convert the signals.

VPS Recording

Now available from some TV stations, VPS (Video Programme System) 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 advertised times you preset in 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 manually enter programmes (regular timer programming), set the start time (VPS time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

●

VPS recording is not possible in areas where no TV station transmits VPS signals.

●

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

●

VPS recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT connector and the front panel connectors.

How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS signal

Timer Warning

If you have programmed your recorder to timer-record a programme or a series of programmes, a warning appears on screen to tell you that the recording is to start in 5 minutes.

NOTES:

●

The warning only appears if you’re not in the Timer mode at that time.

●

If this recorder is being used as the player for tape dubbing, the warning screen is recorded on the tape in the other video recorder.

The warning blinks for the entire 5 minutes leading up to the start of timer recording. To clear the display, press CANCEL.

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 (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): 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 (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): 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 (S-VIDEO connection): All signals will be transferred without degradation.

To record external audio and video signals;

1 Press the remote control's NUMBER key "0". 2 Press AV/S SELECT on the front of the recorder to select the appropriate external input mode.

NOTES:

●

You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes you want to edit in steps 8 – 9. Since you can hear the soundtrack during selection, you can avoid abrupt or unnatural sounding scene-to-scene transitions. The sound that is heard, however, is not TimeScan Audio.

●

When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the source tape between the locations you chose as edit-in/-out points and the locations your recorder recognizes as those points.

●

For any scene, the edit-out point must have a counter reading that is at least 1 second after the corresponding edit-in point. Any less than 1 second and the edit-out point will not be registered.

●

Since the source recorder prerolls during Random Assemble Editing, there must be at least 15 seconds worth of recorded material prior to any edit-in point on the source tape.

●

If the search time for an edit-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording deck enters its Stop mode and editing will not take place.

●

During steps 8 and 9 — if you engage the Pause mode while registering edit-in and -out points in the R.A. Edit screen, the characters in the on-screen display may become distorted. This is normal.

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.
