IMPORTANT
Please read the various precautions on p. 2 – 4 of this instruction manual before installing or operating the
recorder.
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 recording, 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.
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:
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.

Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP/EP (Long Play/Extended 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.
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.)
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the
disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
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.

7.
DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.
8.
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.

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
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 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!

NOTES:
The AV1 (L-1) IN/OUT connector accepts and delivers either
a composite signal (regular video signal) or a Y/C signal (a
signal in which the luminance and chrominance signals are
separated). If your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is
compatible with the Y/C signal, set "L-1 OUTPUT" to
"S-VIDEO" after the connection and the initial settings are
completed (
pg. 50) You can obtain high-quality S-VHS
pictures. (For connection, be sure to use a 21-pin SCART
cable that is compatible with the Y/C signal.)
Set your TV to the VIDEO (or AV), Y/C, or RGB mode
according to the type of your TV's SCART connector.

IMPORTANT
In certain reception conditions, 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, when you timer-record a TV programme using the VIDEO Plus+
system, the recorder will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using the VIDEO Plus+
system, be sure to check that the preset position corresponding to the broadcasting station you wish to record has been
selected ( pg. 20, "VIDEO Plus+ Timer Programming").
Your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality
may be poor. To delete those stations which have an unacceptable picture "Delete A Channel" on page 67.
If any of the above problems occur, refer to pages 66 – 69 to input station names ( "Set Stations") or delete unnecessary
stations ( "Delete A Channel"). You can also change station preset positions ( "Change Station Preset Position").

BASIC OPERATIONS (cont.)
Time Code (DV Deck)
During recording,
a time code is
recorded on the
tape. This time
code is used to
confirm the
position on the
tape when playing
or editing a tape.
To perform
Random Assemble
Editing ( pg. 40),
time code is
necessary.
NOTES:
The presence of a blank (unrecorded) portion in the
middle of a tape can result in misoperation.
A "blank portion" of a tape is a section where nothing is
recorded on the tape. If you start making a recording in a
blank portion of a tape, the time codes will start from
"0:00:00" again. If identical time codes are recorded in two
different places on a tape, Random Assemble Editing and
other similar functions might not operate properly.
In the following circumstances, you should play the tape
and confirm where a scene ends, and then begin recording
from there:
When starting to record in the middle of a tape on which
a recording has already been made.
When you have made a recording on a tape, then played
that recording back in order to check it, and now wish to
continue recording.

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 video recorder and have precedence over the advertised times which you may have preset into 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 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 recorder 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 ( step 6 above).
NOTES:
PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER on your recorder.
PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 (L-1) IN/OUT connector.

DURING B.E.S.T.
B.E.S.T. COMPLETE
The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds
assessing the condition of the tape, then begins
recording.
NOTES:
The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP (or EP) 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.
Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is
displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording (
pg. 19).
Playback
The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
playback.
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 recorders display panel.
NOTES:
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 28.
"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.
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 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 when you are ready 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 28.

Your video recorder is equipped with automatic tracking control.
For most tapes this will automatically adjust the tracking to suit
the particular tape you are playing. In some circumstances it may
be necessary to make manual tracking adjustments. This is
usually only associated with old or worn tapes or recordings
made on old or worn recorders. If the automatic tracking control
fails to operate correctly you will see noise bars across the picture
as shown on the left below. To correct this you can override the
automatic control and adjust
the tracking manually by

deliver a stable picture even with old tapes and rental cassettes.
The on/off of Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise
and enables clear picture reproduction is also linked to this
function.
* The default setting is "ON".
We recommend that you use the Digital TBC feature when...

Minimizing
Picture
Degradation
While Editing
Advantages Of S-VHS
Video Recorders
You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, S-VHS to VHS, or, from
S-VHS to S-VHS.
From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the
S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently
limited by that of the original, the edited tape has better
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the
source material is very high, the edited tape has better
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
From S-VHS to S-VHS: All signals will be transferred with
minimum degradation.

then shuts off.
NOTES:
If you set the dubbing direction incorrectly, you could erase
an important recording that you wanted to copy. We
recommend conducting a test with unimportant cassettes first.
On the cassette that you are playing (i.e., recording from) we
recommend either setting the erase protection switch to
"SAVE" (if the cassette is a Mini DV cassette), or breaking off
the record safety tab (if the cassette is a VHS cassette).
It is impossible to view a satellite broadcast or a scrambled
broadcast when the recorder is in the dubbing mode.
If you start dubbing a tape from a tape with a copy protection
signal, the tapes will be automatically ejected from the DV
and VHS deck, and the recorder will turn off.
