JVC TD-W254 manual Compu Link Control System, Automatic Record Muting Deck B, Erasing

AUTOMATIC RECORD MUTING (DECK B)

This facility is used to eliminate undesired sections and leave an appropriate non-recorded section.

A. To leave non-recorded sections of about 4±5 seconds automatically

1.When the undesired section comes during recording, press the REC/REC MUTE button and release it.

2.The REC indicator flashes and a non-recorded section is made during record muting operation. About 4±5 sec- onds later, the tape automatically stops, and the unit enters the record-pause mode.

3.Press the PLAY button to start recording again.

B.To leave non-recorded sections of more than 4±5 sec- onds

1.Keep the REC/REC MUTE button pressed continu- ously as long as you want to make a non-recorded sec- tion. By releasing the finger from the button after the above operation, the unit enters the record-pause mode.

2.Press the PLAY button to start recording again.

C.To leave non-recorded section of less than 4-seconds When the undesired section comes during recording....

After the REC/REC MUTE button is pressed, press the PLAY button before the unit enters the pause mode to start recording again, or press the PAUSE button to enter the record-pause mode.

·The peak level indicator lights even during record muting according to the input level which can be heard from the speakers or headphones so that recording can be resumed at the exact point on the tape.

ERASING

When recording on a prerecorded tape, the previous recording is automatically erased and only the new program is recorded on the tape.

To erase a tape without making a new recording...

Follow the section ``RECORDING'' but in step 7, set the INPUT LEVEL control to MIN.

DOLBY NR and DOLBY HX PRO

Dolby NR System

To reduce the hiss inherent in tape recording, use the Dolby NR System when making recordings. When listening to a tape recorded with the Dolby NR System, set the DOLBY NR switch to B or C according to the system selected in the recording mode.

Note:

The sound quality will change if the positions of the DOLBY NR switch are different in recording and playback.

Dolby HX PRO headroom extension

When a source which contains many high-frequency compo- nents is recorded, these high-frequency signals have the same function as bias and therefore, the effective bias current changes.

This will result in phenomena such as changes in the level of low-frequency signal and subsequent distortion and reduction of the high-frequency saturation level.

Dolby HX PRO headroom extension system controls the bias current so that the effective bias is constant even when there are fluctuations in the high-frequency components of the input signal.

This greatly improves the high-frequency saturation level while reducing the low-frequency signal level variations and distortion.

·The dynamic sound recorded with this system sounds the same even when the tape is played back in a deck that does not have Dolby HX PRO.

·This system automatically works when in recording; however, Dolby HX PRO is not a noise reduction system.

COMPU LINK CONTROL SYSTEM

The Compu Link Control System controls relative operations between components automatically and facilitates various operations.

This is a system originated and developed by JVC for facilitating various system operations. There are two versions of this sys- tem; version 1 and 3. (For version 1 components, ``COMPU LINK-1/SYNCHRO'' is marked on the rear panel. For version 3 components, ``COMPU LINK-3/SYNCHRO'' is marked on the rear panel. This unit belongs to version 3.)

The version 3 system controls relative functions between this unit and an amplifier or receiver, in addition to all of the functions of version 1.

Automatic Power On/STANDBY Function (COMPU LINK-3) This function is available when an amplifier or receiver having a COMPU LINK-3/SYNCHRO terminal is connected. For example, if a deck contains a tape, the deck is turned on automatically and the tape is played back by only pressing the PLAY button. When the amplifier or receiver is switched STANDBY, the source unit is automatically switched STANDBY. (In the B version, it is necessary to turn the deck POWER switch ON.)
