POWER SYSTEM  
This set operates on voltage of AC110 – 240 V` (Rating), AC90 – 260 V` (Operating), 50/60 Hz with automatic  
switching.  
The STANDBY/ON  
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 (Long Play) or EP (Extended 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  
Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads may cause the playback picture to become blurred or  
interrupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such troubles occur.  
Auto Head Cleaner  
A built-in head cleaner automatically cleans the video heads and head drum whenever a tape is loaded or unloaded  
to reduce head clogging.

NOTES:  
● To obtain the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a longer period on this model, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tape is  
recommended.  
● You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this recorder but also on another VHS recorder equipped with S-VHS ET.  
* It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings.  
● S-VHS ET recordings can also be played back on an S-VHS recorder or a VHS recorder equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI  
PLAYBACK) function. However, there may be cases where S-VHS ET playback is not possible on a particular recorder.  
● Frequent still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback may damage the tape and cause picture degradation.  
● With some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is recommended that you do test  
record beforehand to make sure whether better results can be obtained.  
● High Grade tapes are recommended for superior results.  
● Make sure that "B.E.S.T." is set to "ON" (੬ pg. 22).  
● During S-VHS ET playback, noise may appear depending on tape quality.  
● Noise may appear during search, still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback.

B.E.S.T. COMPLETE  
● B.E.S.T. is active during Auto Tracking. "BEST" appears  
blinking on the recorder's display panel.  
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.  
● 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 22.  
● "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 recorder spends approximately 7 seconds  
assessing the condition of the tape, then begins  
recording.  
NOTES:  
● 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.  
● 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. 19).  
ATTENTION  
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 22.

The G-CODE timer programming system eliminates the need to  
input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the  
timer record function. Simply key in the G-CODE number for the  
TV programme you wish to record (found in most TV listings)  
and the recorder's timer is automatically programmed.  
G-CODE™/SHOWVIEW™  
You have to set "GUIDE PROG" numbers, which are assigned to  
each station for purposes of G-CODE timer programming, for all the  
stations stored in your recorder's memory to get proper results.  
System Setup  
Before G-CODE system setup you must have performed the  
following procedures:  
● Tuner setting (੬ pg. 8, 46)  
● Clock setting (੬ pg. 12)  
Turn on the TV and select the VIDEO channel (or AV mode).  
IMPORTANT  
INFORMATION  
Perform the following procedure after Auto Set Up on page 8  
and/or the channel setting steps on pages 46– 49.  
G-CODE and SHOWVIEW are different trademarks used to  
represent the same easy recording feature, but only the term  
G-CODE system will be used in the instructions. If you use the  
SHOWVIEW system, follow the same instructions listed for  
the G-CODE system.  
After setting the Guide Program Numbers, channel positions  
may be incorrect if you stored or skipped channels. In this case,  
re-perform Guide Program Number setting.

the tape.  
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point  
on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to LP (or EP)  
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 have connected another appliance other than a  
satellite receiver to the rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN  
connectors, be 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.  
● Auto Satellite Prog recording and timer-recording cannot  
be done at the same time.  
NOTES:  
● Auto Satellite Prog recording is only possible with the rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors.  
● 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”.  
● For timer programming of the satellite receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver.  
● Auto Satellite Prog recording is not possible if your satellite receiver does not have a timer.  
● The button's light blinks while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.  
● Pressing the recorder's  
button while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress turns off and recorder's power and disengages  
the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.  
● If there is more than one satellite program you wish to record with Auto Satellite Prog Recording, it is not possible to set a different  
tape speed for each; the tape speed selected in step 1 will apply to all the programs for Auto Satellite Prog recording.  
● The B.E.S.T. ( ੬ pg. 20) does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.  
● Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the recorder may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may record  
slightly longer than the actual length of the program.  
● If you engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode when the satellite receiver's power is on, the recorder will not start Auto Satellite Prog  
recording even though the button's light blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the  
recorder starts recording.  
● You can also record a program from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer and is connected to the recorder's  
rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors.  
● When you press the recorder's REC LINK button to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, if the REC LINK button does not light  
but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite receiver's power is off, Auto Satellite Prog Recording will not work properly  
with that satellite receiver*.  
If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programming” ( ੬ pg. 26) to timer-record a satellite program.  
* Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Prog Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers.  
● After Automatic Satellite Program Recording, the number of recorded programs will not be displayed on the front display panel for  
the instant Review function ( ੬ pg. 16).

CAUTIONS:  
MAKE CONNECTIONS  
● 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.  
1
● 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.  
NOTES:  
● 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.

You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, from S-VHS to VHS, or,  
from S-VHS to S-VHS.  
NOTE:  
Select EDIT when you are dubbing tapes. Refer to page 36, 37.  
● From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the  
S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently  
limited by that of the original, the edited tape has better  
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.  
● From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the  
source material is very high, the edited tape has better  
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.  
● From S-VHS to S-VHS: All signals will be transferred  
without degradation.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
EN  
53  
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 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.  
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. Yes, it is possible.  
A. No, it is normal.  
Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect  
does removing the Record Safety tab have?  
A. It disables marking of index codes.  
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.  
ATTENTION:  
This recorder contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases,
