 S-VHS MODE

You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode or VHS

ON

 

mode — is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.

 

 

OFF

 

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

 

 

recommend 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. 31).

 

 

 AV COMPU-LINK

The REMOTE PAUSE/AV COMPULINK terminal on the rear panel can be used

ON

 

as either the REMOTE PAUSE terminal or the AV COMPULINK terminal.

 

 

OFF

 

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 (see the

 

 

diagram on the next page), including amplifiers (or receivers) and

 

 

televisions, one touch control of the audio and video components linked

 

 

via their AV COMPULINK connectors becomes possible.

 

 

For example: simply load a cassette in the VCR and press PLAY ( 3 ) so that

 

 

the AV COMPULINK components automatically turn on, the TV’s AV mode is

 

 

selected and the VCR starts playback. (You do not have to press PLAY ( 3 ) if

 

 

the cassette’s record safety tab is removed.)

 

 

When this function is set to “OFF”, you can use this terminal as the

 

 

REMOTE PAUSE terminal. ( pg. 65)

 

 

NOTE:

 

 

Connection varies depending on the type of JVC TV you have. Refer to the TV’s

 

 

instruction manual when making this connection.
