Connecting the VCR to a Decoder/Connecting the VCR to a Stereo Amplifier

To connect this VCR to a decoder or a stereo amplifier, make the connections shown in the illustration below. For the connection to the TV, see pages 6–7.

For details about the connection, also read the operating instructions of the decoder or stereo amplifier. Be sure to keep the VCR, TV and decoder or stereo amplifier switched off until you have finished all connections.

For your safety, do not connect or handle the equipment with wet hands.

To Connect the VCR to a Decoder

Decoder here refers to the device used to decode scrambled broadcasts (Cable TV).

Example of NV-FJ780B

(51)

2 Connect the decoder’s mains lead to an AC

mains socket.

This VCR is not designed to control (switch on or change channel) your satellite receiver or Cable TV box, however, it can be taught to recognise VIDEO Plus+ Cod es for Satel lite stati ons. The Sat ellite rec eiver or Cabl e TV box mu st be sw itched on and the correct station selected. Some receivers have their own timer facility for this purpose. Please refer to your Satellite Receiver/ Cable TV box instructions for use of such timer facilities.

For your VCR to recognise the VIDEO Plus+ Codes for each satellite station, you must teach your VCR which channel or AV input to record from for the first time. Otherwise when setting a VIDEO Plus+ recording, the [ss] symbol will appear in the channel position indicating that the VCR does not know which channel position to set. Once you have set the channel/AV input once the VCR will remember it whenever you use a VIDEO Plus+ Code for the station again.

Library System (For NV FJ780B)

Tape Library System (For NV-FJ780B)

This advanced system makes it quick and easy to check the contents of an inserted cassette. It can also be used to quickly find out which cassette in your coll ection contains a desired programme. Whenever a cassette with an intact erasure prevention tab is inserted, the VCR first performs a brief check and then shows the number of the cassette and its contents on the On Screen Display. To start playback of the desired programme, simply select it on the On Screen Display and press the [LIBRARY/SEARCH] button (4).

To index each recorded programme for the Tape Library System, this VCR automatically registers the Library data (cassette number, title

*1

, name of TV station*2, recording time/date*3, etc.) in the VCR’s memory

*1

The name of the TV station or the programme position number is entered instead.

*4

when the recording is performed.

In case of a TV station with Teletext information, the title of the TV programme is entered automatically, provided the [Title page] is correctly set. (See page 32.)

*2

In case of a TV station with Teletext information, the name of the TV station is registered automatically.

*3

The VCR’s clock must be set correctly.

*4

The VCR’s memory can hold a maximum of 128 programmes (or 30 tapes).

Precautions for Recording:

• We recommend that you use new tapes for recording.

• Each recorded programme should have length of at least 15 minutes in the SP or LP mode.

• Each recorded programme should have length of at least 25 minutes in the EP mode.

• No Tape Library data is registered during insert editing.

• If you copy a cassette with a cassette number, the tape library data may not be copied correctly. Therefore, the VCR’s Tape

Library System may not work correctly with su ch a copied cassette.

• When a new recording is made over existing recordings on a tape, the original programmes may be deleted from the list.

• The VCR’s power back-up system protects the Tape L ibrar y data i n the memory in case of a powe r failure a nd store s it for up to

5 years when the VCR is not connected to an AC mains socket.

• When the recording is completed and you eject the cassette, the cassette number remains displayed on the VCR display for approximately 30 seconds. Be sure to write this number on the cassette label.

• When the VCR’s entire memory area has been used up by the Tape Library data, the indication [Library memory full !] appears on the TV screen for several secon ds w hen Tape Library screen is opene d. After this, recording is still possible but no new Tape Library data can be stored. In this case, delete the Tape Library data that you do not need any more before making further recordings. (See page 31.)

Notes:

• Even after you have selected the [Find space to record] and the VCR has located the tape position from which to make a new recording, we recommend you to confirm that this tape position is really suitable, before you start recording.

• You cannot select the item [Find space to record] when there is almost no space for recording on a videotape.

Intro-Jet Scan (For NV-FJ780B)

This VCR automatically records special index signals on the tape every time a recording starts. The Intro-Jet Scan function makes use of these index signals to play back the beginning of each programme recorded on the cassette one after another at high speed. This lets you quickly and easily check the contents of a cassette and find a desired programme.

• Each programme recorded on the tape must be at least 15 minutes long (25 minutes in the EP mode).

Glossary

What is PDC?

Programme Delivery Control adjusts the start and stop time of a timer recording automatically to ensure the recording starts and finishes in line with the programme broadcast. This is useful when a programme over-runs the published times. The station must be transmitting PDC and the exact time must be set for PDC to work. The VCR detects whether a station is transmitting PDC only during the tuning process. If PDC is introduced or discontinued by a station you will need to re-tune the VCR before it becomes aware of this. PDC transmissions are not currently nation-wide so please check with your local broadcaster for more information.

OTR One Touch Recording

This is a simple method for setting the recording duration quickly without using timer recording. It is especially useful if you have started recording and want the recording to end automatically when you are not there, e.g.; when you go to bed.
