For Italy:  
“It is declared that this product, brand JVC, conforms to the Ministry Decree n. 548 of 28 Aug.’95  
published in the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic n. 301 of 28 Dec.’95”  
The STANDBY/ON 1 button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches  
operating current on and off. “`” shows electrical power standby and “!” shows ON.  
Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP/EP (Long Play/Extended Play) mode cannot be  
played back on a single-speed video recorder.  
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  
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 or holes.  
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able  
to get out.)  
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.  
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)  
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.  
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also DO NOT place any containers  
filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on  
top of this unit.  
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.  
8. 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.

SAFETY FIRST (cont.)  
PRECAUTION FOR Hard Disk Drive  
1. Before installing the recorder  
This recorder has a built-in hard disk drive,  
which is a device to read minute magnetic  
changes.  
2. Before using the recorder  
When the power of the unit is on, the hard disc  
is constantly rotating at high speed.  
This requires you to note the following:  
DO NOT impart vibration or shock.  
The inside of the device is precision-built,  
which, when installing the recorder, requires  
you to note the following:  
DO NOT use the recorder in a location prone to  
vibration or dust.  
If given a heavy shock, not only is the data recorded  
damaged but also the hard disk itself can be  
damaged.  
DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism  
or emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cell  
phones, etc.) near the recorder.  
DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall  
outlet when the power of the recorder is on.  
If the power supply is cut off while the hard disc is  
in operation, it can be damaged or the data stored  
on it may be damaged. Be sure to push the power  
button before turning off the power.  
DO NOT place the recorder where difference in  
temperatures is large (condensation can occur), or  
where humidity is high.  
– When condensation occurs  
Water droplets form on the hard disc or head  
drums inside, possibly causing hard disc and  
heads to be damaged.  
– About condensation  
When well-cooled beer is poured into a glass,  
water droplets often form around its outside.  
This phenomenon is called condensation.  
DO NOT install the recorder where the cooling  
fans in its back may be blocked, or where the  
recorder may be closed in.  
3. While using the recorder  
When viewing a program by selecting HDD  
(Hard Disk Drive), there occurs a slight time lag  
relative to the actual program being broadcast.  
This is because pictures received are once  
stored on the hard disk, and then played back.  
The time lag is about three seconds. If you turn  
the power on with the hard disk already  
selected, it will take about 30 seconds before  
the pictures received appear on the screen. Up  
until then, any operation is disabled. But it is not  
a malfunction.  
DO NOT use the recorder placed vertically.  
NOTE:  
The hard disk may produce mechanical noise, but it is not a  
malfunction.

Super VHS ET (S-VHS ET)  
— Recording on VHS cassettes with  
S-VHS quality  
You can record in SP mode on VHS cassettes with S-VHS picture  
quality. Tapes recorded using this function can be played back  
on a recorder equipped with the S-VHS ET function.  
You can activate the S-VHS ET function only before you start  
recording on a VHS cassette.  
Before recording, make sure that “B.E.S.T.” is set to “ON”.  
(pg. 77)  
Engage the S-VHS ET mode.  
Press S-VHS ET on the recorder.  
“S-VHS ET : ON“ appears on the TV screen, if “O.S.D.“ is set  
to “ON“.  
To disengage the S-VHS ET mode, press S-VHS ET.  
NOTES:  
You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function ...  
... while recording is in progress.  
... while timer-recording or Instant Timer Recording  
(pg. 37) is in progress.  
... while B.E.S.T. (pg. 41) is in progress.  
The S-VHS ET function does not work ...  
... with S-VHS cassettes.  
... with recordings in LP/EP mode.  
To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures  
over a long period of time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS  
cassettes is recommended.  
Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET  
recordings. On some tapes, picture quality will not improve  
even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the recording  
quality before you start important recordings.  
You can play back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET  
function on most of S-VHS recorders and of VHS recorders  
equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function.  
(Notice some recorders are not compatible with the S-VHS ET  
function.)  
While playing back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET  
function on some recorders, noise may appear. (If playback  
picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning  
cassette.)  
In the high-speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame  
playback modes (pg. 34), noise may appear. If these modes  
are performed frequently on a tape recorded using the S-VHS  
ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture may be  
deteriorated.

Your recorder is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2)  
and a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception  
of stereo and bilingual broadcasts possible.  
When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being  
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

required).  
To listen to the standard (Regular Monaural) audio while  
receiving a NICAM broadcast, press AUDIO until “NORM”  
appears on the TV screen.  
NOTE:  
“O.S.D.” must be set to “ON” or the on-screen displays will not  
appear (pg. 78).  
To Record Stereo and Bilingual Programmes (A2)  
Stereo programmes are automatically recorded in stereo on the  
Hi-Fi audio track (with the normal audio track recording mixed L  
and R channel sound).  
Bilingual programmes are automatically recorded in bilingual  
on the Hi-Fi audio track. The main soundtrack will be  
recorded on the normal audio track.  
To Record NICAM Stereo and Bilingual  
Programmes  
The NICAM audio programme will be recorded on the Hi-Fi  
audio track, and the standard audio programme will be recorded  
on the normal audio track.  
NOTES:  
If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the  
broadcast will be received in monaural with better quality.  
Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a  
bilingual programme, refer to “Soundtrack Selection” on  
page 36.

Recording  
B.E.S.T. Picture  
System  
The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you  
initiate recording.  
DURING B.E.S.T.  
The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking)  
system checks the condition of the tape in use during  
playback and recording, and compensates to provide the  
highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You  
can set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference  
(pg. 77).  
B.E.S.T. COMPLETE  
The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the  
condition of the tape, then begins recording.  
Playback  
NOTES:  
The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you  
initiate playback.  
The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP (or EP) 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 Automatic Satellite  
Programme Recording is in progress (pg. 47).  
In the case of timer recordings, 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.  
The recorder adjusts the playback picture quality based on the  
quality of the tape in use.  
B.E.S.T. is active during automatic tracking. “BEST” appears  
blinking on the recorders front display panel.  
Pressing the recorders 7 button while “BEST” is displayed  
does not start Instant Timer Recording (pg. 37).  
NOTES:  
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.  
ATTENTION  
Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually  
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7  
and 4 on the remote control are pressed, or 7 on the  
recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the desired  
scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the following  
steps:  
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 (pg. 77).  
“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.  
A Press and hold 9 and press 7 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 mode.  
B Press 4 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” (pg. 77).

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.

to set different recording speeds for each programme.  
Depending on the type of satellite receiver, 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 Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode when the satellite receivers power is on, the recorder will not  
start Automatic Satellite Programme Recording even though the SAT# button blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and  
is turned back on again, the recorder starts recording.  
You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.  
Just Clock (pg. 88) does not work when the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode is engaged.  
When the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode is engaged, or the recorders power is turned off after Automatic Satellite

VCR SET UP 1 (cont.)  
* The default setting is bold in the table below.  
When this function is set to ON, the recorder automatically switches to LP  
mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the  
entire programme while timer-recording in SP mode.

For Example . . .  
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-minute tape  
Approximately 150 minutes

Approximately 60 minutes  
LP mode  
Total 210 minutes  
Make sure you set this function to ON, before the timer-recording starts.  
NOTES:  
If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, the  
second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set AUTO  
SP]LP TIMERto ON. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the  
tape speed manually during timer programming.  
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.  
You can play back PAL, NTSC and MESECAM tapes, or record PAL and SECAM*  
signals on this recorder. Select the appropriate colour system.  
8 COLOUR SYSTEM  
PAL/NTSC  
MESECAM  
PAL/NTSC: To record PAL signals, or play back a PAL or NTSC tape.  
MESECAM: To record SECAM signals, or play back a MESECAM tape.  
* 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:  
It is not possible to record in S-VHS if MESECAMis selected. The recording mode is  
forced to change to VHS.  
If MESECAMis 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 MESECAMis 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.

Your recorder is equipped with the Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector) that  
removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with  
old tapes and rental cassettes.  
The on/off of Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables  
clear picture reproduction is also linked to this function.  
We recommend that you set DIGITAL TBC/NRto ONwhen...  
... playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.

... playing back a tape repeatedly used.  
... using this video recorder as the source player for editing.  
NOTES:  
If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, the picture may  
become more stable with Digital TBC/NR set to off.  
When DIGITAL TBC/NRis set to ON, if you play back a tape where certain types of  
signals are recorded (using a PC or some character generators), the playback picture  
may be distorted. If this is the case, set DIGITAL TBC/NRto OFF.  
When playing back a MESECAM tape, Digital TBC/NR does not function even though  
DIGITAL TBC/NRis set to ON.
