at its start time unless its end time has elapsed.

much flat, same-colored surfaces such as cartoons.
Ⅵ 2ND AUDIO RECORD — ON/OFF
● When this function is set to “ON”;
If a SAP program is received, the SAP audio is recorded on both
the normal and Hi-Fi tracks. The main audio is not recorded.
If a non-SAP program is received, the main audio is recorded on

Ⅵ AUDIO MONITOR — HI-FI/HI-FI L/HI-FI R/NORM/MIX
This VCR can record two sound tracks simultaneously (normal and
Hi-Fi) on a Hi-Fi stereo tape. You can select the sound track(s) to
listen to while playing back a Hi-Fi stereo tape. In addition, when
playing back a prerecorded tape containing two separate audio
programs on the Hi-Fi tracks, you can choose either one by
selecting either “HI-FI L” or “HI-FI R”.
Ⅵ FRONT AUX INPUT — VIDEO/S-VIDEO
You have to select which terminal — either VIDEO (composite) or
S VIDEO (Y/C separate signals) to use as the video input terminal
on the front panel.
Make sure to select the correct terminal; otherwise, you may fail in
recording (editing) on this VCR.
HI-FI: Normally select this. Hi-Fi sound is played back.
HI-FI L: Sound on the left Hi-Fi channel is played back.
HI-FI R: Sound on the right Hi-Fi channel is played back.
NORM: Sound on the normal track is played back.
MIX: Both sounds on the Hi-Fi track and normal track are mixed
and played back.
Ⅵ REAR AUX INPUT — VIDEO/S-VIDEO
You have to select which terminal — either VIDEO (composite) or
S VIDEO (Y/C separate signals) to use as the video input terminal
on the rear panel.
Make sure you select the correct terminal; otherwise, you may fail
in recording (editing) on this VCR.
NOTES:
● While playing back a monaural tape, sounds on the normal
track will be heard regardless of this setting.
Satellite Auto Recording
● If RF connection (੬ pg. 5) is used for viewing pictures on the
TV, sound will be monaural even though you select “HI-FI”.
● You can also use the A.MONITOR button on the Remote to
select the desired monitor sound. (੬ pg. 9)
You can automatically record a satellite program which is timer-
programed on your DBS receiver.
A Connect a DBS receiver to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors on
therearpanel. Youcanalsoconnectthecableboxifithasatimer.
B Set timer program on DBS receiver referring to its instruction
Ⅵ S-VHS MODE — ON/OFF
manual.
You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode
or VHS mode — is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.
● When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on S-VHS
tapes with S-VHS picture quality.
C Load a cassette with the record safety tab intact.
D Press SP/EP to set the tape speed. The selected tape speed will
appear on the TV screen.
● When this function is set to “OFF”, you can record on S-VHS
tapes with VHS picture quality.
E Press REC LINK for more than 2 seconds. The VCR turns off
automatically and enter the Satellite Auto Recording standby
mode (the REC LINK lamp lights). When signals come into the
VCR from the DBS receiver, the VCR starts recording (the REC
LINK lamp blinks), and stops recording and goes off when
signals stop coming in.
NOTES:
● S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings
with horizontal resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230
lines of resolution of conventional VHS recordings. To achieve
the highest quality picture we recommended to record in S-VHS
mode. (But remember that a conventional VHS VCR without
SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.)
● S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes.
Recording on VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode
except when using S-VHS ET mode (੬ pg. 15).
NOTES:
● Be sure not to turn on the DBS receiver before the program starts
broadcasting; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the
DBS receiver is turned on.
● To disengage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode, press
REC LINK (the REC LINK lamp goes off).
● Depending on the type of satellite receiver, Satellite Auto
Recording may not be compatible.
Ⅵ AV COMPU-LINK — ON/OFF
The remote PAUSE/AV COMPULINK terminal on the rear panel
can be used as either the remote PAUSE terminal or the AV
COMPULINK terminal.
● When this function is set to “ON”, you can use this terminal as
the AV COMPULINK terminal. By connecting other JVC’s AV
COMPULINK components, including amplifiers (or receivers)
and televisions, one touch control of the audio and video
components linked via their AV COMPULINK connectors
becomes possible.
● When this function is set to “OFF”, you can use this terminal as
the remote PAUSE terminal. If your JVC camcorder is equipped
with the Master Edit Control, you can control the VCR from the
camcorder. Connect the mini-plug cable (not supplied with this
VCR) between the remote PAUSE terminal and the EDIT
connector on the camcorder.
Child Lock
You can disable the VCR operations. While the VCR is turned on,
press and hold POWER 1 on the Remote for more than
10 seconds. The VCR turns off, “CL” appears for about 5 seconds
on the display panel.
To release the child lock, press and hold POWER 1 on the
Remote until the VCR turns on.
NOTES:
● Pressing TIMER during timer recording, unplugging the AC
power cord or a power outage also releases the child lock.
● When the child lock function is in use, keep the Remote out of
the children’s reach.
● Timer recording programs will be performed even if the child
lock function activated.
NOTE:
Refer to the other components’ instruction manuals for connection
and its operations.

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

Various connection for editing tapes
NOTES:
● When monitoring the sound during Audio Dubbing, the normal
soundtrack is automatically selected. If you wish to hear the
Hi-Fi or mixed sound (Hi-Fi + normal soundtracks), press
A.MONITOR to select “NORM HI-FI”. (੬ pg. 9, “Selecting
monitor sound”)
The following three methods can be used for editing tapes.
● VHS to S-VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the original
VHS quality, the edited tape has better picture quality than
those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
● Audio Dubbing stops automatically when the counter reaches
“0:00:00”, and the VCR enters the Play mode. Check the
counter reading on the screen before dubbing.
● Audio Dubbing is not possible with a cassette whose record
safety tab has been removed.
● When playing back an audio-dubbed tape, press A.MONITOR
to select the soundtrack you wish to hear. (੬ pg. 9, “Selecting
monitor sound”)
● S-VHS to VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Since the original source is recorded in S-VHS mode, the edited
tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS
editing.
● S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection):
Original picture quality of S-VHS made can be duplicated with
minimal picture degradation. This is the best editing method
you can use on S-VHS VCRs.
Insert Editing and AV Dubbing
Audio Dubbing
Insert Editing:
Audio Dubbing replaces the normal audio sound of a previously
recorded tape with a new soundtrack.
You can replace a recorded scene with new scene recorded on
another tape or with other material. Both the picture and the
sound recorded on the Hi-Fi sound track are replaced at the same
time.
A Make connections
Connect an audio cable between the VCR’s audio input
connectors and the audio component’s audio output connectors.
● When connecting a monaural audio component, use only the
VCR’s AUDIO L input connector.
AV Dubbing:
You can perform Audio Dubbing and Insert Editing at the same
time. This means that the picture and the sounds recorded on the
Hi-Fi sound track and on the normal track are replaced at the
same time.
● Audio Dubbing is possible by using the audio input connectors
on the front panel or on the rear panel.
● For AV Dubbing, you can edit pictures and sound using different
sources; connect a video source to the video input connector,
and an audio source to the audio input connectors.
