WARNING
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.
IMPORTANT
Please read the various precautions on pages 2 and 3 before installing or operating the recorder.

It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without

the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme
and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.

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 recorder, remote control or video

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.

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
receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 (L-2) IN/
DECODER connector on your recorder.

NOTES:
● You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes you
want to edit in steps 7 – 8. 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
and -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.

recording deck enters its Stop mode and editing will not take

Controller (Not provided)
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.
NOTE:
Although the RM-V704U is designed to operate the recording
deck, it may not work with some recorders, or may have limited
function capability.
The J terminal is used to connect the recorder to a personal
computer or similar device to allow computerized control of the
recorder during editing and certain other operations.

be unique when your recorder is connected to another device
via its J terminal. The ID number is preset to “1” at the factory.

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.

●
If you’re not connecting a decoder to the AV2 (L-2) IN/

●
The default setting is “A/V”; if the recorder’s memory backup has

from the recorder, “A/V” will be automatically selected when
the power is restored to the recorder. If you are using a decoder,
be sure to set “L-2 SELECT” back to “DECODER”.

You can play back PAL, NTSC and MESECAM tapes, or
record PAL and SECAM* signals on this recorder. Select the

* SECAM signals will be recorded as MESECAM on this recorder;
MESECAM is the designation for tapes with SECAM signals that
have been recorded on a MESECAM-compatible PAL video
cassette recorder.
NOTES:
●
If “MESECAM” is selected when the tape speed is set to EP
mode, the tape speed will be forced to change to LP mode.
●
It is not possible to select EP mode if “MESECAM” is selected.
About NTSC Playback
●
Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at
the top and bottom of the TV screen. This is not a malfunction
on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.
●
The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using
the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be
corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)
●
The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
●
During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will
be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.
●
Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of
superimposed displays may be cut off during NTSC playback.
