current on and off. " " shows electrical power standby and " " shows ON.  
Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-  
speed video recorder.  
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  
After an extended period of use, the video heads can become dirty, resulting in a loss of picture or sound during  
playback. If this happens, clean the video heads by using the optional cleaning tapes.  
Symptoms of dirty video heads:  
● The picture is not clear, or does not appear.  
There is no sound.  
VHS playback  
● Mosaic (block) noise appears in the picture.  
● Black or mosaic horizontal stripes appear in the  
picture.  
● The picture stops (as if the tape is paused).  
● A blank black or blue screen appears.  
● The picture is fuzzy. (VHS playback)  
Early symptom  
Late symptom  
D-VHS playback  
Block noise  
Still image  
Black screen  
Use a cleaning tape designed specifically for D-VHS video heads (JVC D-VHS video head cleaner DFC-2) to clean the video heads.  
● In order to avoid misoperation, set "NAVIGATION" to "OFF" ( ੬ pg. 39).  
● Follow the instructions that are provided with the cleaning tape.  
If you still do not get a clear picture after using a cleaning tape:  
● The heads may be worn. Contact your nearest JVC dealer.  
● During VHS playback, if there is a tracking problem, the picture may appear fuzzy. Adjust the tracking manually ( ੬ pg. 17).

ATTEN TIO N :  
Your TV must have a 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) for  
the connection to the recorder.  
AV1 INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL SELECTION FOR AV CONNECTION  
The AV1 IN/OUT connector accepts and delivers either a composite signal (regular video signal) or a Y/C signal (a signal in  
which the luminance and chrominance signals are separated). For input signal selection, select "VIDEO" (regular video signal) or  
"S-VIDEO" (Y/C signal) for "AV1 SELECT" setting (੬ pg. 54). For output signal selection, use AV1 OUT switch of the rear panel.  
● If your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is compatible only with the regular video signal, set this switch to COMP.  
● If your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is compatible with the Y/C signal, set this switch to Y/C. You can obtain high-  
quality S-VHS pictures. (For connection, be sure to use a 21-pin SCART cable that is compatible with the Y/C signal.)  
N O TES:  
● Set your TV to the VIDEO (or AV), Y/C, or RGB mode according to the type of your TV's SCART connector.  
● For switching the TV's mode, refer to the instruction manual of your television.  
● To obtain high-quality S-VHS pictures, you can also use the S-VIDEO CONNECTION described on page 5.

work properly. If the Guide Program numbers are not set properly, when you timer-record a TV programme using the  
SHOWVIEW system, the recorder will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using the  
SHOWVIEW system, be sure to check whether the channel position on which your recorder receives the broadcasting station  
you wish to record is selected (੬ pg. 30, "SHOWVIEW® Timer Programming").  
Ⅲ Your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality  
may be poor. To delete those stations with an unacceptable picture ੬ "Delete A Channel" on page 65.

● The recorder adjusts the playback picture quality  
based on the quality of the tape in use.  
● B.E.S.T. is active during Auto Tracking. "BEST"  
appears blinking on the recorder’s display panel.  
B.E.S.T. COMPLETE  
N O TES:  
● When watching a tape recorded with "B.E.S.T." set to "ON", it  
is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as  
well.  
● When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another  
video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for  
editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps 1  
through 5 on page 28.  
● The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds  
assessing the condition of the tape, then begins  
recording.  
N O TES:  
● "BEST" only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking.  
Even though it doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function  
is operative.  
● The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after  
a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first  
initiated. It does not work during recording.  
● The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Auto Satellite Prog  
recording is in progress (੬ pg. 37).  
● In the case of timer recording, the B.E.S.T. system works  
before recording is initiated.  
● Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled.  
The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-  
performed.  
● Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is  
displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording (੬ pg. 24).  
ATTEN TIO N  
Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually  
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after  
RECORD and PLAY on the remote are pressed, or RECORD  
on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the  
desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the  
following steps:  
1) Press and hold PAUSE and press RECORD to engage the  
RECORD PAUSE mode.  
● The recorder then automatically checks the condition  
of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-  
enters RECORD PAUSE.  
2) Press PLAY to start recording.  
● If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin  
recording immediately, set "B.E.S.T." to "OFF" in step 4  
on page 28.

VPS/ PDC Re co rd in g  
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.

੬ "VPS/PDC Recording" in the right column.  
● 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 tuner  
or a cable system is connected to AV2 IN/DECODER on  
your recorder.  
● VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT  
connector.

● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this  
feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of  
the tape.  
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point  
on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to LP mode.  
● The Auto SP→LP Timer feature is not available during ITR  
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work  
properly with any tapes longer than E-180 or with some tapes  
of shorter lengths.  
● If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the  
Auto SP→LP Timer activated, and the programme goes  
beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times  
when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

This facility allows you record automatically a satellite programme  
which is timer-programmed on your external satellite tuner.  
Connect a satellite tuner to the recorder's AV2 IN/DECODER  
connector (੬ pg. 57, 58) and programme the timer on the  
satellite tuner; the recorder starts recording when the signals input  
from the satellite tuner to the AV2 IN/DECODER connector, and  
when there is no input signals the recorder stops recording and the  
power shuts off.

● If you have connected another appliance other than a

sure not to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode;  
otherwise, the recorder will start recording when the  
connected appliance's power is turned on.

Press and hold REC LINK on the recorder for about 2  
seconds. The REC LINK indicator lights up and the  
recorder turns off automatically.  
● To disengage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, press  
REC LINK. The REC LINK indicator goes off.  
● If the recorder's power is off, it is not possible to  
engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.  
● Auto Satellite Prog recording and timer-recording cannot  
be done at the same time.  
N O TES:  
● Auto Satellite Prog recording is possible with the AV2 IN/DECODER connector only. (੬ pg. 57, 58)  
● For timer programming of the satellite tuner, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite tuner.  
● Auto Satellite Prog recording is not possible if your satellite tuner does not have a timer.  
● The REC LINK indicator blinks while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.  
● Pressing the recorder's  
button while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress turns off the recorder's power and disengage  
the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.  
● If there are more than one satellite programme you wish to record with Auto Satellite Prog Recording, it is not possible to set the  
different tape speed per each; the tape speed selected in step 2 will be applicable to all the programmes for Auto Satellite Prog  
recording.  
● The B.E.S.T. system (੬ pg. 28) does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.  
● Just Clock (੬ pg. 70) does not work when the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged.  
● Depending on the type of satellite tuner, the recorder may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the programme or may record  
slightly longer than the actual length of the programme.  
● If you engage the Auto Satellite Prog Recording mode when the satellite tuner's power is on, the recorder will not start Auto  
Satellite Prog recording even though the REC LINK indicator blinks. When the satellite tuner shuts off once and is turned back on  
again, the recorder starts recording.  
● When the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged or the recorder's power is turned off after Auto Satellite Prog recording is  
finished, the recorder will not enter the Timer mode even though "AUTO TIMER" is set to "ON".  
● You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.  
● When you press and hold the recorder's REC LINK button to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, if the REC LINK indicator  
does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite tuner's power is off, Auto Satellite Prog Recording will not work  
properly with that satellite tuner*.  
If this is the case, perform "Express Timer Programming" (੬ pg. 32) to timer-record a satellite programme.  
* Some satellite tuners output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Prog Recording is not possible with those satellite tuners.

● 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.  
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.

● 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.  
N O TES:  
● When connecting your recorder’s audio output connectors to  
a stereo amplifier, make sure you connect L and R correctly.  
● If stereo or bilingual 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.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
EN  
75  
PLAYBACK  
TIMER RECORDING  
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached  
during playback or search?  
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.  
Q. " " and "‰" remain lit on the display panel. Is there  
a problem?  
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in  
progress.  
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the  
still mode?  
Q. Can I programme the timer while I’m watching a  
tape or a TV broadcast?  
A. You won’t see the picture as it is replaced by the on-  
screen menu, but the audio from the programme or  
tape you’re viewing can be heard.  
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect  
the heads.  
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal  
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be  
concerned about this?  
Q. Is it possible to timer-record a TV programme  
broadcast in 2000?  
A. No, it is normal.  
A. Yes, it is possible.  
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the video recorder  
can’t find the programme I want to see. Why not?  
A. There may be index codes too close together.  
RECORDING  
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end  
of the recording before the pause is overlapped by  
the beginning of the continuation of recording. Why  
does this happen?  
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and  
resume points.  
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the  
Record-Pause mode?  
A. No. The video recorder goes to its Stop mode  
automatically after 5 minutes to protect the heads.  
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?  
A. The video recorder automatically rewinds it to the  
beginning.
