SAFETY FIRST
IMPORTANT
n Please read the various precautions on p. 2 – 3 of this
instruction manual before installing or operating the
recorder.
n It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record
pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent
of the owner of copyright in the sound or video record-
ing, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary,
dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.
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.
BE SURE to replace the fuse only with an identical
approved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse
cover.
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:
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.
Blue to N (Neutral) or Black
Brown to L (Live) or Red
CAUTION
n When you are not using the recorder for a long period of
time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power
cord from the mains outlet.
n Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to
qualified service personnel. To prevent electric shock or
fire hazard, remove the power cord from the mains
outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal
lead or aerial.
The rating plate and the safety caution are on the rear of the unit.
WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
Safety Precautions
Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP
(Long Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-speed
video recorder.
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.
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 inter-
rupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such
troubles occur.
n Only cassettes marked "VHS" can be used with this
videorecorder.
n HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.
n Video Plus+ and PlusCode are trademarks of Gemstar
Development Corporation. The Video Plus+ system is

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 interconnec-
tions 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 equip-
ment.
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
damanged 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 de-
signed 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. Overheat-
ing 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 instruc-
tions.
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!

Turn on the TV and select its VIDEO channel or AV mode, then make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the
recorder's memory by using the TV PROG. button(s).
If station names (ID — Z pg. 42) have also been stored in the recorder's memory, the station name will be displayed at the
top left corner of the screen for about 5 seconds when the recorder is tuned to a different station.
If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change preset positions, or to set or change station
names, see pages 38 – 41.
2 Perform "Video Plus+ Setup" on page 10 to check if the Guide Program numbers have been set correctly.
If auto channel set has succeeded but auto clock set has not:
1
Turn on the TV and select its VIDEO channel or AV mode, then make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the
recorder's memory by using the TV PROG. button(s).
If station names (ID — Z pg. 42) have also been stored in the recorder's memory, the station name will be displayed at the
top left corner of the screen for about 5 seconds when the recorder is tuned to a different station.
If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change preset positions, or to set or change station
names, see pages 38 – 41.
2 Perform "Clock Set" on page 44, then "Video Plus+ Setup" on page 10 to check if the Guide Program numbers have been set
correctly.
If both auto channel set and auto clock set have failed:
1
Make sure the TV aerial cable is connected properly to the recorder and turn off the recorder power once, then turn the
recorder power back on again.
The recorder will try Auto Set Up again.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the reception conditions, the station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Program Number Set may
not work properly. If the Guide Program numbers are not set properly, Video Plus+ timer recording (Z pg. 22) will not work
correctly; be sure to check if the Guide Program numbers have been set correctly
(Z pg.10, "Video Plus+ Setup").
Since your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if the reception condition is poor, some of those stored stations
may produce a noisy picture. To delete those stations, Z "Delete A Channel" on page 39.

NOTES:
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.
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.
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 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 20.
Playback
The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
playback. 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.
START PLAYBACK
1
Press PLAY.
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.
NOTES:
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 2
through 5 on page 20.
"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.

Connection To
A Stereo
System
(HR-J645EK/ES
only)
These instructions enable you to connect your video recorder to
your Hi-Fi stereo system (if you have one) and listen to the
soundtrack through the stereo.
MAKE CONNECTIONS
1
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.
NOTES:
When connecting your recorder's audio output connectors to
a stereo amplifier, make sure you connect L and R correctly.
If NICAM 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.
CAUTIONS:
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.
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.

CLOCK SET
IMPORTANT
Perform the following steps only if Auto Clock Set has not
been performed correctly by Auto Set Up (Z pg. 8) or
Auto Channel Set (Z pg. 36) or if the recorder's memory
backup has expired.
If you performed Auto Set Up or Auto Channel Set without ever
having set the clock previously, the recorder’s built-in clock is
also set automatically. The Auto and Manual clock setting
procedures are necessary when . . .
a power outage of more than 3 minutes occurs.
the tuner has been set manually.
the user desires to set the clock slightly ahead of the actual time.
the clock was not set even after Auto Set Up or Auto Channel
Set was performed.
Whether you perform Auto or Manual clock setting, you can
use the convenient Just Clock function.
Just Clock
The Just Clock function provides accurate time keeping through
automatic adjustments at regular intervals, by reading data from
a PDC signal.
The Just Clock option appears in the Clock Set and Auto Clock
Set screens, and can be set “ON” or “OFF” (the default setting is
“ON”). Press OK until the Just Clock setting begins blinking,
then press PUSH JOG%fi to change the setting.
IMPORTANT: If you turn off Just Clock off, the accuracy of your
recorder’s built-in clock may be reduced, which could
adversely effect timer recording.
Both Auto and Manual clock setting procedures begin from step 4.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
PLAYBACK
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. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the
still mode?
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect
the heads.
Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame
playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the
problem?
A. This is normal.
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be
concerned about this?
A. No, it is normal.
Q. Noise bars appear during multi-speed search. What’s
the problem?
A. This 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.
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.
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 shuts off 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.
TIMER RECORDING
Q. "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 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.
