NOTE:

When viewing NTSC tapes on a PAL TV set:

The picture may shrink vertically with black bars appearing at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of the video recorder nor the TV.

The picture may roll up or down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)

During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.

ATTENTION

When this recorder is connected to a multi-system TV, the audio signal may not be heard or may be noisy if the colour system select switch of the TV is adjusted to the AUTO position. In such a case, set the TV's colour system select switch to the appropriate position which corresponds to the TV system you have selected at the TV System Select screen.

Furthermore, the VHS and S-VHS playback compatibility ensures that users can enjoy a wide range of video content without any hassle.

Additional features include a user-friendly on-screen display that simplifies navigation and setup, as well as easy-to-use remote control functionality. The JVC HR-S5980 series also comes equipped with high-speed dubbing capabilities, which enables efficient copying of video content without sacrificing quality.

The LPT0800-001B component, commonly associated with these models, enhances the connectivity options, allowing for seamless integration with other audio and video devices.
