MOISTURE CONDENSATION
The STANDBY/ON 1 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.
Moisture in the air will condense on the unit when you
move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under
extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form
on the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. In
conditions where condensation may occur, disconnect
the unit’s power plug from the wall and keep it
disconnected for a few hours to let the moisture dry, then
turn on the unit.
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf,
make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow
for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and
at the rear).
ATTENTION:
To mobile phone users:
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must
be considered and the local rules or laws governing the
disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the unit may
cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change
the screen to a blue back display.
On placing the unit:
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
damage to the unit, remote control or disc.
1. DO NOT place the unit —
Some TVs or other appliances generate strong
magnetic fields. Do not place such appliances on top
of the unit as it may cause picture disturbance.
— 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.
IMPORTANT
Connection to the mains supply in the United
Kingdom.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment.
If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in
your home or the cable is too short to reach a power
point, then obtain a proper safety approved extension
lead/adapter or consult your dealer.
In the unlikely event of the plug fuse failing be sure to
replace the fuse only with an identical approved type,
as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If
the fuse fails again consult your nearest JVC dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off remove the fuse
and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a
possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to
the mains supply.
If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains
plug then follow the instructions given below:
DO NOT make any connection to the Larger Terminal
coded E or Green.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
— on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the unit’s ventilation openings or
holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to
get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the unit or remote
control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of
the unit or remote control.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment,
fire or electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or
splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places
with water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled
with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines,
flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this
unit.
Blue to N (Neutral) or Black
Brown to L (Live) or Red
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as
lighted candles, on the apparatus.
8. AVOID violent shocks to the unit during transport.
If these colours do not correspond with the terminal
identifications of your plug, connect as follows:
Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured
Black.
Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured
Red.
If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.

SAFETY FIRST (cont.)
Some Do’s And Don’ts On The Safe Use
Of Equipment
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections
between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed
for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and
make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for
infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements
of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit
the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL...
— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the
case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than
sorry!

DISC INFORMATION (cont.)
Recording Medium and Format
File Structure of Discs
DVD-RAM
DVD VIDEO
● Recording and erasing can be performed as many times as
possible on a disc.
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called
“titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used
to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called
“chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that
can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs
are not divided into titles and chapters.
● Editing can be performed after recording, such as deleting
unwanted parts.
● While recording, it is possible not only to start playback of a
programme currently being recorded, but also to watch
another programme previously recorded.
When you record a programme on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode)
disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single
chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted
when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural or
bilingual to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also
possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during
playback. (੬ pg. 34)
DVD-RW (VR mode)

● Can be played back on other DVD players.
● New recording can be performed by erasing all the data on a
disc once played back.
A single recording session results in a single title (a single
chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted
when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial
breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired
locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has
been finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter
marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5
minutes.

perform editing operations other than changing the disc name
and/or title names and deleting programmes and/or titles.
● After finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations.
Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD
Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each
containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For
example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video
CD/SVCD discs.

Place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up.
Since disc size changes depending on the disc to be played
back, be sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its
size. If the disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or
otherwise damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to
the inner groove.
CAUTION
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images
may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not
be up to industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the
malfunction of the unit.
DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges
Double-sided discs:
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the
grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert
with the side you wish to play back or record facing down. If you

NOTES:
Free Rate Function
● You can programme this unit to timer-record, regardless of the
disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not
enough, recording may stop in the middle of a programme. To
avoid this, make sure of the disc remaining time before setting
timer-programming.
(Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes
in SP mode on a 120-minute disc, the disc remaining time
would be 30 minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode,
120 minutes in LP mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240
minutes in FR480 mode. Timer-recording will not complete
beyond these remaining times.
● The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same
as the recording time of FR480 mode. When timer-
programming a long programme in FR (JUST) mode on a disc
whose remaining time is short, it is recommended checking
the disc remaining time in FR480 mode to see if the remaining
time is enough for the programme.
● Even if more than one programme are timer-programmed in
FR (JUST) mode, only the first one is recorded.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this
feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of
the disc.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point
on the disc where the unit switches the mode.
To record the entire programme, the unit automatically set the
appropriate recording speed depending on the combination of
the total time of the programme to be recorded and either the
remaining disc space or the specified recording time (from 60
minutes to 480 minutes).
To record the entire programme within the actual
remaining disc space
Select “FR (JUST)” in a recording speed selection procedure.
(੬ pg. 57, 59)
● Note that this function is available only for timer programming
recording.
To record the entire programme by specifying the
desired recording time
Select “FR60–FR360”, “FR420” or “FR480” in a recording speed
selection procedure. (੬ pg. 53, 57, 59)
To record a 25-min. long daily programme five times just
on a same disc for example
®
Perform “VIDEO Plus+ Timer Programming” (੬ pg. 56)
procedure. Be sure to set the recording speed to “FR125” and set
Weekly/Daily Rec Function to “MON–FRI” in step E to fit the
total recording time to the whole disc space.

Selection of the audio channel to be
recorded on a disc
When a programme is recorded on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW
disc in VR mode, all audio channels of the receiving programme
are recorded on the disc. When you record a programme on a
DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in video mode, select the desired audio
channel (from among “NICAM 1/MAIN”, “NICAM 2/SUB”,
“MONO”) to be recorded on the disc. (੬ pg. 92)
NOTE:
Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a
bilingual programme, refer to “Audio Channel Selection” on

Press w e to select “TV PROG”, then press rt
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) 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 unit and have precedence
over the advertised times which you may have preset into the
timer. This means that your unit 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 from what has been advertised. PDC is currently
available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except
from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC
service in some areas. All channels intend to offer this
service in due course. Check your TV programme listing
guide for latest information. If the channel you intend to
record does not offer a PDC service your unit will not start
recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to set PDC to
“OFF” if PDC is not available on your selected channel.

GLOSSARY
8Aspect ratio
8Multiangle
The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image.
The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and
that of wide-screens is 16:9.
By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a
single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called
the multiangle function.
8Chapter
8Multichannel
Refers to individual chapters included in a title.
DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound
field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having
three or more channels.
8Composite video signal
Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals
combined: an image signal made up of luminance and
chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication
technique; burst signal providing the basis for colour
reproduction; and synchronization signal.
8Multilanguage
When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is
generally called a multilanguage title.
8NTSC (National television system committee)
A black and white and colour television system format used in
the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.
8Component video signal
A video signal system where parts of information necessary for
reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary
colours of light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of
signal, such as R/G/B, Y/PB/PR, etc., are available.
8PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A colour television system format used extensively in Western
Europe.
8Disc menu
8Parental Lock
A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images,
sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD disc.
A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or
not to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its
parental lock level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc.
from educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand
with that set on this system by the user; if the software’s level is
less restrictive than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.
8Dolby Digital (AC-3)
A six-channel system consisting of left, centre, right, left rear,
right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a
sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital
domain.
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of
information.
8Playback control (PBC)
Refers to the signal recorded on Video CD/SVCDs for controlling
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD/
SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type
software as well as software having a search function.
8Down-mix
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD
player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output
connectors.
8Progressive scan
Progressive scan displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at
one time, as a single frame. This system can convert the
interlaced video from DVD into progressive format for
connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the
vertical resolution.
8DTS
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six
(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,
either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for
Digital Theater Systems.
8Region Code
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions
designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are
grouped into six regions, each region being identified by a
specified Region Code (or region number). If the Region Code
given to a disc includes a numeral which matches one in the
Region Code of a player, the player can play back the disc.
8Interlaced scan
In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the
display monitor in two halves. The Interlaced scan system places
lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first
half of the picture.
8JPEG
8Sampling frequency
A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint
Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in
image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to
digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how
many times the original analog signal is sampled per second.
8Letter box
8Surround
A method of displaying wide images like movies in the centre of
a 4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted, by placing
black bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has
resulted from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.
A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of
realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
8Transfer rate
The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in
baud per second. The DVD system applies a variable transfer
rate system for high efficiency.
8Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)
A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for
later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.
8MP3
A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is
the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1)
Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R/RW can contain
about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
8MPEG
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information.
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Video CD/SVCD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is
based on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding
Experts Group.
