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.
Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe
Use Of Equipment
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnec-
tions between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equip-
ment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damanged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is de-
signed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the
equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need
to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements
of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheat-
ing will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always
fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
3
ABOVE ALL...
— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the
case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than
sorry!

PDC Recording
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 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.

PDC Recording
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 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:
●
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 and the front panel connectors.

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 Select The External Input Mode
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.
● Pressing AV/S SELECT rotates the input mode as follows:

NOTES:
●
While searching for scenes you want to edit in steps 8 - 9, the
sound will not be heard even though the recorder's TIME
SCAN indicator lights up.
●
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.
To Make Corrections . . .
. . . during step 8 or 9, you can cancel registered in and out
points by pressing CANCEL on the remote control. Each time
you press, the preceding point is erased.
● If, for example, you have registered 5 sets of in and out points
and want to reset the first set, you have to press CANCEL until
all points after the first set have been erased. Reenter them
after you've repaired the first set of points.
Memory Capacity
Random Assemble Editing shares
memory space with the recorder's
timer. If there are programs
occupied by timer-recording data,
those spaces cannot be used to
register edit-in and -out points —
meaning you won't be able to edit
8 scenes.
● When all 8 programs are full,
"PROGRAM FULL" appears on the R.A. EDIT screen.
By connecting this controller to your recorder's R.A. EDIT
connector, you can perform Random Assemble Editing in
combination with a second non-JVC video recorder. The controller
is compatible with various major recorder brands. For compatible
systems and availability, please consult your JVC dealer.
Although the RM-V704U is designed to operate the recording
deck, it may not work with some recorders, or may have limited
function capability.

If you performed Auto Set Up or Auto Channel Set without ever
having set the clock previously, the recorder’s built-in clock is
also set automatically. The Auto and Manual clock setting
procedures are necessary when . . .
– a power outage of more than 3 minutes occurs.
– the tuner has been set manually.
– the user desires to set the clock slightly ahead of the actual time.
– the clock was not set even after Auto Set Up or Auto Channel
Set was performed.
Whether you perform Auto or Manual clock setting, you can
use the convenient Just Clock function.
Just Clock
The Just Clock function provides accurate time keeping through
automatic adjustments at regular intervals, by reading data from
a PDC signal.
The Just Clock option appears in the Clock Set and Auto Clock
Set screens, and can be set “ON” or “OFF” (the default setting is
“ON”). Press OK until the Just Clock setting begins blinking,
then press PUSH JOG%fi to change the setting.
IMPORTANT: If you turn off Just Clock off, the accuracy of your
recorder’s built-in clock may be reduced, which could
adversely effect timer recording.
Both Auto and Manual clock setting procedures begin from step 4.
