instead of “AUTO”.
NOTE:
To watch recordings with close-caption or when you finish
viewing a tape, set this function to “OFF”.
EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and
playback).
SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes
containing much noise.

Changing Remote Control Code
Editing
This Remote is capable of transmitting two control codes; one set
to respond to A code control signals and another set to respond to
B code control signals. This Remote control is preset to send A
code signals because your VCR is initially set to respond to A
code signals. You can easily modify your VCR and the Remote to
respond to B code signals. When using two JVC VCRs, set two
VCRs and their Remotes to different codes, so that you can
operate these VCRs separately.
You can use your VCR as the playback or recording VCR. You can
use a camcorder as the playback VCR and your VCR as the
recording VCR. Refer also to the other components’ instruction
manuals for connection and its operations.
