JVC HR-S5980AJ, HR-S5980AH Special Features, Remote Control Functions, Remote A/B Code Switching

AUTO SP]LP TIMER — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, the recorder automatically switches to LP mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire programme while timer- recording in SP mode.

For example, recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180 minute tape.

Approximately 150 minutes	Approximately 60 minutes
SP mode	LP mode

Total 210 minutes

NOTES:

●If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, do not use this function, but change the tape speed manually during timer programming.

●There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the tape speed switches from SP to LP mode on the tape.

●This function is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and will not work properly with any tapes longer than E-180 or with some tapes of shorter lengths.

●If you perform timer recording with both this function and VPS/ PDC activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, sometimes the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

Special Features

Remote Control Functions

Remote A/B Code Switching

The remote control is capable of controlling two JVC video recorders independently; one set to respond to the remote control's A code control signals and another set to respond to B code control signals. The remote control is preset to send A code signals because your video recorder is initially set to respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your video recorder to respond to B code signals.

ASet remote control code for remote control

APress and hold VCR.

BPress the number key “2”. C Press OK, and release VCR.

● The remote control now can transmit B code control signals.

BCheck remote control code for decorder

Press and hold 4 on the recorder for more than 5 seconds while the recorder is turned off. The code currently set appears on the display panel.

VIDEO STABILIZER — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, you can automatically correct vertical vibrations in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another recorder.

NOTE:

To watch recordings with close-caption or when you finish viewing a tape, set this function to “OFF”.

S-VHS — 0N / 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 recorder without SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.)

●S-VHS 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 ( 16).

S-VHS ET — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on VHS cassettes with S-VHS picture quality. Tapes recorded using this function can be played back on most S-VHS recorders or VHS recorders equipped with the S-VHS ET function or VHS recorder equipped with the SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. When this function is set to “ON”, the S-VHS indicator lights up on the display panel.

NOTES:

●Before recording, set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” ( see below).

●You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function while recording ( 8), timer-recording ( 10) or Instant Timer Recording ( 9) or the “B.E.S.T.” function ( see below) is in progress.

●The S-VHS ET function does not work with S-VHS cassettes.

●To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long period of time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS cassettes is recommended.

●Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET recordings. On some tapes, picture quality will not improve even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the recording quality before you start important recordings.

CChange code for recorder

Press any key on the remote control. The recorder now responds to B code control signals.

To control two recorders with the same remote control

You can control two JVC recorders by switching the remote control code for the remote control between A and B ( step 1), keeping two recorders to different control codes.

●To change only the remote control code for the remote control, DO NOT perform steps 2 and 3.

NOTE:

To set the recorder back to respond to A code signals, repeat the same procedure as shown above except pressing number key "1" instead of "2" in step 2 of 1.

Control Your TV Using Additional Buttons

Use the number keys, and the p button, & button or # button to select the TV's channel.

●With televisions under Code 01, 02, 07, 08, 10, 11, 14, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 33, 35, 38, 40 or 42, the p button corresponds to the 1-digit/2-digit entry switching button (often labelled – /– –) of your TV's remote control.

●With televisions under Code 01, 16, 28, 29, 34 or 39, the & button corresponds to the 10 + button, and the # button corresponds to the 20 + button of your TV's remote control.

NOTE:

The way these buttons are used is determined by your TV. Use these buttons as instructed for your TV's remote control.
