					Another recorder (for recording)   
					Changing Remote Control Code   
					This remote control is capable of transmitting two control codes;   
					one set to respond to A code control signals and another set to   
					respond to B code control signals. This remote control is preset to   
					send A code signals because your recorder is initially set to   
					respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your recorder   
					and the remote control to respond to B code signals. When using   
					two JVC recorders, set two recorders and their remote controls to   
					different codes, so that you can operate these recorders separately.   
					● When using this recorder as the recording deck, connect this   
					recorder’s AV input connectors to the AV output connectors on   
					the other recorder. If the source player is monaural, connect the   
					audio output connector on the source player to the left audio   
					input connector on this recorder.   
					B Loadcassettes   
					Insert the playback cassette into the source player and the cassette   
					to be recorded on into the recording deck.   
					A Set remote control code for remote control   
					C Select input mode on recording deck   
					A Press and hold VCR.   
					B Press the Number key “2”.   
					Select the correct external input on the recording deck.   
					On this recorder (when using this recorder as the recording deck);   
					Select “L-1” — when connecting the other recorder to the AV   
					input connectors on the rear panel.   
					C Press OK, and release VCR.   
					● The remote control now can transmit B code control signals.   
					B Check remote control code for recorder   
					Press and hold PLAY (4 ) on the recorder for more than 5 seconds   
					while the recorder is turned off. The code currently set appears on   
					the display panel.   
					(Only for HR-J485EA)   
					Select “F-1” — when connecting the other recorder to the AV   
					input connectors on the front panel.   
					On the remote control   
					C Change code for recorder   
					Press any key on the remote control. The recorder now responds   
					to B code control signals.   
					● To set the remote control and the recorder back to A code   
					control signals, repeat the same procedure as shown above   
					except pressing the Number key “1” in step B of 1.   
					Press AUX or PR+/–.   
					On the recorder   
					Press PAUSE[PR], and then FF[PR+] or REW[PR–]. See step B in   
					“Basic Recording”.   
					D Select edit mode   
					Set the edit mode to “ON” for the recorders if such a mode is   
					equipped.   
					To control two recorders with the same remote   
					control   
					● On this recorder, set “PICTURE CONTROL” to “EDIT”.   
					E Start playback   
					Press PLAY (4 ) on the source player.   
					You can control two JVC recorders by switching the remote   
					control code for the remote control between A and B (੬ step A),   
					keeping two recorders to different control codes.   
					F Start recording   
					Press REC (7 ) on the recording deck.   
					● To change only the remote control code for the remote control,   
					DO NOT perform steps B and C.

					NOTES:   
					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.

					IMPORTANT   
					● If no sound accompanies the picture or the audio sounds   
					unnatural on some channels that have been stored by Auto   
					Channel Set, the TV system setting for those channels may be   
					incorrect. Select the appropriate TV system for those channels.   
					Refer to “TV System Selection — When you see the picture but   
					the audio can’t be heard or sounds unnatural”.   
					Tuner Setting   
					IMPORTANT   
					Perform the following steps only if auto channel set has not been   
					set correctly by Auto Set Up function or if you have moved to a   
					different area or if a new station starts broadcasting in your area.   
					● Since your recorder memorises all detected stations even if the   
					reception condition is poor, some of those stored stations may   
					produce a noisy picture. To delete those stations, refer to   
					“Delete A Channel”.   
					Your recorder needs to memorise all necessary stations in channel   
					positions in order to record TV programmes. Auto Channel Set   
					automatically assigns all receivable stations in your area so that   
					you can call them up with the PR+/– buttons without going   
					through any vacant channels.
