tapes of shorter lenghs.

Timer Warning

If you have programmed your recorder to timer-record a programme or a series of programmes, a warning appears on screen to tell you that the record- ing is to start in 5 minutes.

WARNING– TIMER RECORDING

TO START SOON

[CANCEL]

may not fit on the tape if you engage the Auto SP/LP Timer

mode. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then

set the tape speed manually during timer programming.

There may be some noise at the point on the tape where the

recorder switches from SP to LP mode.

If you perform timer recording with both PDC/VPS and the

Auto SP/LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond

its originally scheduled length, there may be times when the

programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

NOTES:

The warning only appears if

you’re not in the Timer mode at that time.

If this recorder is being used as the player for tape dubbing, the warning screen is recorded on the tape in the other video recorder.

The warning blinks for the entire 5 minutes leading up to the start of timer recording. To clear the display, press CANCEL.

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.

To Use PDC/VPS Service . . .

The default setting for PDC/VPS is "ON". To cancel PDC/VPS, press NUMBER key "7" so that "OFF" is displayed on screen during ShowView or regular timer programming.

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 AV2 IN on your recorder.

HR-E239EG, HR-E439EG specifications

The JVC HR-E439EG and HR-E239EG are noteworthy models in the realm of VHS video cassette recorders, captivating users with their efficient design, reliability, and a suite of features tailored for both casual viewers and dedicated videophiles. Built with JVC's commitment to quality, these models are designed for ease of use while incorporating advanced technologies that enhance the viewing and recording experience.

Both the HR-E439EG and HR-E239EG boast robust playback capabilities for VHS tapes, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of video formats. Their construction includes high-quality components that contribute to crisp video reproduction and clear audio playback, maintaining the integrity of the original recordings. The devices utilize JVC’s Super VHS technology, allowing for superior picture quality when playing Super VHS tapes, alongside standard VHS tapes.

One of the standout features of the HR-E439EG is its built-in Time Base Corrector (TBC), which significantly improves the playback quality by reducing jitter and enhancing stability in the video signal. This technology is especially beneficial for older tapes that have degraded over time, allowing users to experience their favorite films and recordings in improved clarity. On the other hand, the HR-E239EG, while lacking the TBC, still delivers solid performance and is equipped with features that cater to everyday recording needs.

Both models support standard recording features including a programmable timer, allowing users to schedule recordings easily. The VCRs come with several playback modes, offering options such as slow-motion and frame advance, enhancing the viewing experience for those who enjoy detailed analysis of their recordings. The convenience of an on-screen display is also featured, making navigation through the settings and tape management intuitive.

In terms of connectivity, the HR-E439EG and HR-E239EG provide composite video and audio outputs, allowing users to connect to various television models seamlessly. The designs are also user-friendly, with straightforward controls that make operation easy for all ages.

These VCRs represent the classic reliability of JVC products, serving as an excellent choice for those looking to preserve their VHS collections or simply enjoy the nostalgic experience of analog video playback. Both the HR-E439EG and HR-E239EG stand out for their practicality, making them beloved devices in the ongoing legacy of cassette recording technology.
