If You Have Any Questions (cont'd)

Notes regarding...

Tuner Set

■Since receivable channels differ by locale, it will be necessary to

reset your VCR's channels when you move to another location. Auto Channel Set is the easiest way to do this. ☞ p. 10

Playback

■If the end of the tape is reached during play or search, it is automatically rewound to the beginning and stops.

■The VCR automatically stops when the still mode is left activated for more than 5 minutes.

■If the still picture is unstable, use the VCR's CH –/+ buttons to correct the picture.

■During search playback, some noise bars will appear.

■If noise bars appear during playback or slow motion, correct using manual tracking. ☞ p. 17.

■There is no audio during search, slow, still, or frame-by-frame playback.

■When playing back LP recordings during search, still or frame-by- frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of color.

■When a tape is first inserted, the recorder enters the automatic tracking mode automatically.

■During multi-speed search, some noise bars will appear.

■If adjacent index codes are too close to each other, Index Search may not function properly.

■If the cassette's safety tab has been removed, index codes cannot be marked or erased.

■You do not have to set to NORM when playing back tapes with normal sound track only.

■When MIX is selected, both "Hi-Fi" and "NORM" appear on the TV screen when the OSD button is pressed.

Recording

■To start recording with the VCR's Record button, press it once on its

own. Pressing Record more than once activates Instant Timer Recording. ☞ p. 24.

■After pause, when recording is resumed, a few frames recorded before the pause may be overlapped by the new recording. This is meant to reduce picture distortion and is not a malfunction.

■The VCR automatically stops when record-pause continues for more than 5 minutes.

■If the end of the tape is reached while recording, it is automatically rewound to the beginning and stops.

■If the Record button does not work, check to see if the cassette's safety tab has been removed.

■The channel cannot be changed while recording is in progress. To change the channel, press Pause, then change the channel.

Timer-Recording

■When timer-recording is successfully completed, the VCR power is automatically switched off.

■If the end of tape is reached while timer-recording, the cassette is automatically ejected.

■Since the timer starts and stops recording based on the time being kept by the VCR's built-in clock, the clock's time must be accurate for correct timer-recording results.

■When you program the timer while viewing a program or a tape, the TV screen will show the on-screen menu but the audio will continue to be heard.

■You can also program the timer while the VCR is recording; the on- screen menu will not be recorded on tape.

■Although the provided Cable Box Controller is compatible with many different cable box brands, it is possible that it will not work with your cable box.

Remote TV Operation

■Whenever you replace batteries in the remote control, it is necessary to reset the TV code if your television is not a JVC TV.

■With some televisions, the TV/VIDEO button functions only to switch the TV to the VIDEO(AV) mode.

■Although the provided remote control unit is compatible with JVC televisions as well as many TV models manufactured by others, it is possible that the provided remote control will not work with your TV.

Remote Cable Box Operation

■Whenever you replace batteries in the remote control, it is necessary to reset the Cable Box code.

■Although the provided remote control unit is compatible with many different Cable Box brands, it is possible that the provided remote control will not work with your Cable Box.

Insert Editing

■To stop insert editing automatically, first determine the edit-out point on the recording tape (the end of the segment to be replaced) and

press the remote control's C.RESET button. Then follow steps 8 through 11 in "Insert Editing" (☞ p.32); insert editing will stop automatically at the counter reading of 0:00:00.

■Insert editing cannot be started from a non-recorded segment.

■A small portion of the recording which precedes an insert edit may become erased.

■Video or audio insert cannot be performed if the safety tab is absent.

■Video or audio insert cannot be performed on a tape recorded at LP speed.

■Distortion may occur in the inserted video if the recording tape had discontinuous video or video recorded at different speeds.

Audio Dubbing

■When monitoring the sound during Audio Dubbing, the normal

soundtrack will be automatically selected. If you wish to hear the mixed sound (Hi-Fi + normal soundtracks), ☞ p. 18.

■Audio dubbing is not possible with cassettes whose safety tab is absent.

Random Assemble Editing

■When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the playback tape between the locations you choose as cut-in/out points and the locations the VCR recognizes as those points.

■For any scene, the cut-out point must have a counter reading that is at least 1 second after the cut-in point. A cut-out point with a counter reading less than or the same as the cut-in point will not be registered.

■Since the playback deck prerolls during Random Assemble Editing, there must be at least 15 seconds worth of recorded material prior to any cut-in point on the playback tape.

■If the search time for a cut-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording deck's Record-Pause mode will be cancelled and editing will not take place.

■R.A.Edit is also possible with another JVC VCR which doesn't have a PAUSE terminal but does have an R.A.EDIT connector. In this case, connect both VCRs by their R.A.EDIT connectors.
