SAFETY FIRST
IMPORTANT
Ⅲ Please read the various precautions on this page before
installing or operating the recorder.
Ⅲ 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.
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
CAUTION
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ 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.
WARNING
There are two different types of SECAM colour systems:
SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called SECAM-West), and
SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called
SECAM-East).
1.This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour
television signals for recording and playback.
2.Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce
monochrome pictures if played back on a video recorder
of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour
pictures if played back on a PAL video recorder with
SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is
SECAM-compatible).
3.SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with
a SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome
pictures when played back with this recorder.
4.This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard.
Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.
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.
The STANDBY/ON button does not completely shut
off mains power from the unit, but switches operating

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 channel positions, or to set or change
station names, see pages 36 – 37.
3 Perform "SHOWVIEW 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
Perform "Video Channel Set" on page 8.
2 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 — ੬ pg. 38) 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 channel positions, or to set or change

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.
ATTENTION:
Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually

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.

PDC/VPS Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are 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 video recorder and have
precedence over advertised times you preset in the timer. This
means that your recorder 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.
NOTES:
●
When you manually enter programmes (regular timer
programming), set the start time (PDC or VPS time) exactly as
advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised
will result in no recording.
●
PDC/VPS recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a
cable system is connected to the AV2 IN/DECODER
connector on your recorder.
●
PDC/VPS recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT
connector and the front panel connectors.

IMPORTANT
Perform the following steps only if auto clock set has not
been set correctly by Auto Set Up function (੬ pg. 4) or
Auto Channel Set (੬ pg. 34) 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 screens, and can be set “ON” or “OFF” (the default
setting is “OFF”). 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, the accuracy of
your recorder’s built-in clock may be reduced, which could
adversely effect timer recording. We recommend you to
keep Just Clock on. In cases where the clock setting data
from a PDC signal is incorrect, however, you are advised to
keep Just Clock set to "OFF".
Both Auto and Manual clock setting procedures begin from step 4.

NOTES:
●
Auto Clock and Just Clock require a PDC signal, and will not
operate with a VPS signal.
●
Just Clock (when set to "ON") enables adjustment of the
recorder's built-in clock every hour on the hour, except for
23:00, 0:00, 1:00 and 2:00.
●
Just Clock is not effective when . . .
– the recorder’s power is on (unless the recorder is tuned to
the same channel position selected in the Clock Set screen).
– the recorder is in the Timer mode.
– a difference of more than 3 minutes exists between the
built-in clock’s time and the actual time.
●
If Just Clock is set to "ON", the recorder’s clock is automati-
cally adjusted at the start/end of Summer Time.
●
Auto clock setting and Just Clock may not function properly
depending on the reception condition.
●
During Manual clock setting, if the day and month data are
invalid (such as 31st April), the month digits are cleared
automatically and the day digits begin blinking. Input the
correct data.
●
If, in step 4 of the Manual clock setting procedure, the year
digits are automatically cleared and the day digits begin
blinking, it is possible that you have input 29th February for a
non-leap year. Input the correct data.

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.
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 auto-
matically 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. " " and "‰" remain lit on the display panel. Is
there a problem?

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.
