AUDIO MONITOR — HI-FI/HI-FI L/HI-FI R/NORM/MIX

This VCR can record two sound tracks simultaneously (normal and Hi-Fi) on a Hi-Fi stereo tape. You can select the sound track(s) to listen to while playing back a Hi-Fi stereo tape. In addition, when playing back a prerecorded tape containing two separate audio programs on the Hi-Fi tracks, you can choose either one by selecting either “HI-FI L” or “HI-FI R”.

HI-FI: Normally select this. Hi-Fi sound is played back.

HI-FI L: Sound on the left Hi-Fi channel is played back.

HI-FI R: Sound on the right Hi-Fi channel is played back.

NORM: Sound on the normal track is played back.

MIX: Both sounds on the Hi-Fi track and normal track are mixed and played back.

NOTES:

●While playing back a monaural tape, sounds on the normal track will be heard regardless of this setting.

●If RF connection ( pg. 5) is used for viewing pictures on the TV, sound will be monaural even though you select “HI-FI”.

●You can also use the A.MONITOR button on the Remote to select the desired monitor sound. ( pg. 9)

S-VHS MODE — ON/OFF

You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode or VHS mode — is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.

●When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on S-VHS tapes with S-VHS picture quality.

●When this function is set to “OFF”, you can record on S-VHS tapes with VHS picture quality.

NOTES:

●S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings with horizontal resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230 lines of resolution of conventional VHS recordings. To achieve the highest quality picture we recommended to record in S-VHS mode. (But remember that a conventional VHS VCR without SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.)

●S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes.

Recording on VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode except when using S-VHS ET mode ( pg. 15).

AV COMPU-LINK — ON/OFF

The remote PAUSE/AV COMPULINK terminal on the rear panel can be used as either the remote PAUSE terminal or the AV COMPULINK terminal.

●When this function is set to “ON”, you can use this terminal as the AV COMPULINK terminal. By connecting other JVC’s AV COMPULINK components, including amplifiers (or receivers) and televisions, one touch control of the audio and video components linked via their AV COMPULINK connectors becomes possible.

●When this function is set to “OFF”, you can use this terminal as the remote PAUSE terminal. If your JVC camcorder is equipped with the Master Edit Control, you can control the VCR from the camcorder. Connect the mini-plug cable (not supplied with this VCR) between the remote PAUSE terminal and the EDIT connector on the camcorder.

NOTE:

Refer to the other components’ instruction manuals for connection and its operations.

FRONT AUX INPUT — VIDEO/S-VIDEO

You have to select which terminal — either VIDEO (composite) or S VIDEO (Y/C separate signals) to use as the video input terminal on the front panel.

Make sure to select the correct terminal; otherwise, you may fail in recording (editing) on this VCR.

REAR AUX INPUT — VIDEO/S-VIDEO

You have to select which terminal — either VIDEO (composite) or S VIDEO (Y/C separate signals) to use as the video input terminal on the rear panel.

Make sure you select the correct terminal; otherwise, you may fail in recording (editing) on this VCR.

Satellite Auto Recording

You can automatically record a satellite program which is timer- programed on your DBS receiver.

AConnect a DBS receiver to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors on the rear panel. You can also connect the cable box if it has a timer.

BSet timer program on DBS receiver referring to its instruction manual.

CLoad a cassette with the record safety tab intact.

DPress SP/EP to set the tape speed. The selected tape speed will appear on the TV screen.

EPress REC LINK for more than 2 seconds. The VCR turns off automatically and enter the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode (“L-1” and “#” light up). When signals come into the

VCR from the DBS receiver, the VCR starts recording (“#” and “” light up and “L-1” blinks). When no signals come into the VCR, the VCR stops recording (“” goes off).

NOTES:

●Be sure not to turn on the DBS receiver before the program starts broadcasting; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the DBS receiver is turned on.

●To disengage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode, press REC LINK (“#” goes off).

●Depending on the type of satellite receiver, Satellite Auto Recording may not be compatible.

Child Lock

You can disable the VCR operations. While the VCR is turned on, press and hold POWER 1 on the Remote for more than

10 seconds. The VCR turns off, “CL” appears for about 5 seconds on the display panel.

To release the child lock, press and hold POWER 1 on the Remote until the VCR turns on.

NOTES:

●Pressing TIMER during timer recording, unplugging the AC power cord or a power outage also releases the child lock.

●When the child lock function is in use, keep the Remote out of the children’s reach.
