● 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 24.
● 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. 32).
● 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. 21).
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 24.

● Be sure not to turn on the satellite tuner before the
programme is executed; otherwise, the recorder will start
recording when the satellite tuner's power is turned on.
● If you have connected another appliance other than a
satellite tuner to the AV2 IN/DECODER connector, 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.
Press and hold REC LINK on the recorder for about 2
seconds. The button lights up and the recorder turns off
automatically.
● To disengage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, press
REC LINK. The button's light 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. 44, 45)
● 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 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 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. 24) does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.
● Just Clock (੬ pg. 56) 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 button's light 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".
● After Auto Satellite Programme recording, the number of recorded programmes will not be displayed on the front display panel for
the Instant ReView function (੬ pg. 17).
● 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 button 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. 28) 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.

The remote control is capable of controlling two JVC video
recorders independently; one set to respond to the remote
control’s A code control signals and another set to respond to B
code control signals. The remote control is preset to send A
code signals because your video recorder is initially set to
respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your video

● 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.

Perform the following steps only if —
— interference appears in the TV picture after you have moved to a different area or a new station has started broadcasting in
your area.
— you change the connection between your recorder and TV from RF connection to AV connection, or vice versa.
If you have connected the video recorder to your TV via both the provided RF cable and a 21-pin SCART cable (AV
connection), since you do not need the video channel you have to set the video channel to off.
If you have connected the video recorder to your TV via the RF cable only (RF connection), you have to set the correct
video channel.
Before performing the following steps, make sure the recorder's power is off and there is no cassette inserted in the recorder.
Then set your TV to UHF channel 50.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
EN
61
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.
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.
