NOTES:  
● 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 as well as some  
tapes of shorter lenghs.  
● Even if, in step 1, you press AUTO SP/LP TIMER and the  
button lights up, that doesn’t mean that the recorder will  
automatically change from SP to LP mode during the course  
of the recording. Watch the tape later to confirm.  
● If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or  
more programs, the second programme and those thereafter  
may not fit on the tape if you engage the Auto SP/LP Timer  
mode. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then  
set the tape speed manually during timer programming.  
● There may be some noise at the point on the tape where the  
recorder switches from SP to LP mode.  
VPS Recording  
Now available from some TV stations, VPS (Video Programme  
System) 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.  
● If you perform timer recording with both VPS 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.  
NOTES:  
● When you manually enter programmes (regular timer  
programming), set the start time (VPS time) exactly as  
advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised  
will result in no recording.  
● VPS recording is not possible in areas where no TV station  
transmits VPS signals.  
● VPS recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a  
cable system is connected to the AV2 IN connector on your  
recorder.  
● VPS recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT connector  
and the front panel connectors.

EN  
J Terminal (JLIP(Joint Level  
Interface Protocol) Connector)  
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.  
Examples:  
● Enables Random Assemble Editing of up to 99 segments with  
the optional JLIP PLAYER PACK, using this recorder as the  
playback unit. (Use this recorder's PAUSE connector in lieu of  
the EDIT jack.)  
● Allows you to capture still images from the recorder into a  
personal computer with the optional JLIP VIDEO CAPTURE  
BOX.  
J terminal  
For further details consult your nearest JVC dealer.  
JLIP ID Number  
Your recorder has its own JLIP ID number. This ID number must  
be unique when your recorder is connected to another device  
via its J terminal. The ID Number is preset to "1" at the factory.  
You can change this number to any number between "1" and  
"99". If it is necessary to change the JLIP ID number perform the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
EN  
47  
PLAYBACK  
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. 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  
still mode?  
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect  
the heads.  
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the  
Record-Pause mode?  
A. No. The video recorder goes to its Stop mode auto-  
matically 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?  
A. No, it is normal.  
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?  
A. The video recorder automatically rewinds it to the  
beginning.  
Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect  
does removing the Record Safety tab have?  
A. It disables marking of index codes.  
TIMER RECORDING  
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. 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.  
Q. Can I program 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 program or tape  
you’re viewing can be heard.  
ATTENTION:  
This recorder contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases,  
switch the recorder off and unplug the mains power cord. Then plug it in again and turn the recorder on. Take out the cassette.  
After checking the cassette, operate the unit as usual.
