Recording

This function allows you to automatically record a satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your external satellite receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to the recorder and programme the timer on the satellite receiver. The recorder starts or stops recording by the signals input from the satellite receiver. After recording, the recorder’s power shuts off automatically.

ATTENTION

●Be sure not to turn on the satellite receiver before the programme is executed; otherwise, the recorder will start recording when the satellite receiver’s power is turned on.

●If you have connected another appliance other than a satellite receiver to the AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector, be sure not to engage the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode; otherwise, the recorder will start recording when the connected appliance’s power is turned on.

●Auto Satellite Programme Recording and timer-recording cannot be done at the same time.

Before performing the following steps:

●Make sure the satellite receiver is connected to the recorder’s AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector. ( pg. 36)

●Programme the timer on the satellite receiver.

●Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place.

A Select the L-2 SELECT mode.

Set “L-2 SELECT” to “A/V” or “SAT” ( pg. 43).

●When you select “SAT”, refer to “IMPORTANT” on page 36.

B Set the tape speed.

Press SP/LP (p).

Recording mode.

Press and hold SAT# for about 2 seconds. The SAT# indicator lights up and the recorder turns off automatically.

NOTES:

●To disengage the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode, press SAT#. The SAT# indicator goes off.

●If the recorder’s power is off, it is not possible to engage the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode.

●In step 3, if the SAT# indicator does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite receiver’s power is off, Auto

Satellite Programme Recording will not work properly with that satellite receiver*. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programming” ( pg. 26) to timer-record a satellite programme.

*Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Programme Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers.

●The SAT# indicator blinks while Auto Satellite Programme Recording is in progress.

●For timer programming of the satellite receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver.

●Auto Satellite Programme Recording is not possible if your satellite receiver does not have a timer.

●Pressing the recorder’s 1 button while Auto Satellite Programme Recording is in progress turns off the recorder’s power and disengages the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode.

●If there are more than one satellite programmes you wish to record with Auto Satellite Programme Recording, it is not possible to set different tape speeds for each programme.

●Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the recorder may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the programme or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the programme.

●If you engage the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode when the satellite receiver’s power is on, the recorder will not start Auto Satellite Programme Recording even though the SAT# indicator blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the recorder starts recording.

●You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.

●The B.E.S.T. system ( pg. 23) does not work while Auto Satellite Programme Recording is in progress.

●Just Clock ( pg. 44) does not work when the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode is engaged.

●When the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode is engaged, or the recorder’s power is turned off after Auto Satellite Programme Recording is finished, the recorder will not enter the Timer mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON”.

●After Auto Satellite Programme Recording, the number of recorded programmes will not be displayed on the front display panel for the Instant ReView function ( pg. 18).

HR-J781EU, HR-J780EU specifications

The JVC HR-J780EU and HR-J781EU are two impressive VCR models that showcase JVC's commitment to providing high-quality video recording and playback. Released during the height of VHS technology, these models stand out due to their robust features, advanced technologies, and user-friendly characteristics, making them a popular choice among enthusiasts and casual users alike.

One of the standout features of both models is the incorporation of JVC’s innovative Digital Scene Selector technology. This allows for enhanced image processing, resulting in sharper and clearer video quality. The Digital Scene Selector analyzes incoming video signals and optimizes them in real-time, ensuring that every frame is rendered to its fullest potential.

Both the HR-J780EU and HR-J781EU come equipped with a Time Base Corrector (TBC), which significantly improves the stability of the video image. This technology reduces jitter and enhances overall playback quality, making these VCRs excellent for archiving and preserving precious home videos. The TBC is particularly beneficial when playing back older tapes that may have degraded over time.

Another key characteristic of the JVC HR-J780EU and HR-J781EU is their ability to support long-play (LP) recording modes. This feature enables users to store more content on a single tape, doubling the recording capacity without a noticeable dip in quality. For regular viewers and home movie creators, this is an excellent advantage, allowing for longer viewing and recording sessions without the hassle of frequently changing tapes.

Both models are equipped with a comprehensive set of connectivity options, including SCART and composite outputs, making it easy to connect to various TVs and other playback devices. Additionally, the inclusion of an easy-to-navigate on-screen menu enhances user experience, allowing users to quickly access settings and functionalities.

Moreover, the JVC HR-J780EU and HR-J781EU boast built-in auto tracking features, which automatically adjust the tape heads to maintain optimal playback quality. The sleek design, combined with a remote control for convenience, makes these VCRs both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

In summary, the JVC HR-J780EU and HR-J781EU are finely crafted VCR models that showcase advanced recording technologies, user-friendly features, and excellent performance characteristics. For those looking to relive nostalgic moments captured on VHS tapes, these models provide a reliable and high-quality option for both recording and playback.
