When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make  
sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation  
(10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear.)  
Some Do’s And Don’ts On  
The Safe Use Of Equipment  
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be  
considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of  
these batteries must be followed strictly.  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to  
meet international safety standards but, like any  
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to  
obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in  
damage to the unit, remote control or video cassette.  
1. DO NOT place the unit —  
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to  
use the equipment.  
— in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or  
humidity.  
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the  
mains plug, extension leads and interconnections  
between pieces of equipment) are properly made  
and in accordance with the manufacturers  
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug  
when making or changing connections.  
— in direct sunlight.  
— in a dusty environment.  
— in an environment where strong magnetic fields are  
generated.  
— on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.  
2. DO NOT block the unit’s ventilation openings or holes.  
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a  
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)  
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the unit or remote control.  
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the unit  
or remote control.  
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about  
the installation, operation or safety of your  
equipment.  
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or  
electric shock may be caused.)  
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.  
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with  
water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or  
liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted  
plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.  
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted  
candles, on the apparatus.  
8. AVOID violent shocks to the unit during transport.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in  
any doubt about it working normally, or if it is  
damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the  
mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose  
dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is  
unattended unless it is specifically stated that it  
is designed for unattended operation or has a  
standby mode. Switch off using the switch on  
the equipment and make sure that your family  
knows how to do this. Special arrangements may  
need to be made for infirm or handicapped  
people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios  
so that you are distracted from the requirements  
of road safety. It is illegal to watch television  
whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use  
can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for  
example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the  
life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with  
wood screws — to ensure complete safety  
always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or  
legs with the fixings provided according to the  
instructions.  
MOISTURE CONDENSATION  
Moisture in the air will condense on the unit when you move it  
from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid  
conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass  
filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum  
will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation  
may occur, keep the unit turned on for a few hours to let the  
moisture dry.  
ATTENTION  
To mobile phone users:  
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the unit may cause  
picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a  
blue back display.  
On placing the unit:  
Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields.  
Do not place such appliances on top of the unit as it may cause  
picture disturbance.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain  
or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL...  
NEVER let anyone especially children push  
anything into holes, slots or any other opening in  
the case — this could result in a fatal electrical  
shock;  
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical  
equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe  
than sorry!

The image may be sometimes poor or noisy due to defects in  
the disc itself.  
Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its  
packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and  
functions of a disc. Check marks indicating the contents and  
functions of a disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may  
not include a mark even for a function it supports.

DISC INFORMATION (cont.)  
File Structure of Discs  
Care and Handling of Discs  
DVD VIDEO  
How to handle discs  
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called  
“titles.” Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to  
select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called  
“chapters.” Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that  
can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs  
are not divided into titles and chapters.  
When handling a disc, do not  
touch the surface of the disc.  
Since discs are made of  
plastic, they are easily  
damaged. If a disc gets dirty,  
dusty, scratched or warped,  
the images and sound will not  
be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to  
malfunction.  
Title1  
Title2  
Chapter 2  
Chapter 3  
Chapter 1  
Chapter 1  
Chapter 2  
Label side  
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive  
on its surface.  
Storage  
Audio CD/Video CD  
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on  
top of one another without their protective cases, they can be  
damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be  
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or  
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!  
Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each  
containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For  
example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video  
CD discs.  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 4  
Maintenance of discs  
If there are fingerprints or other dirt  
adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry  
cloth, moving from the center outwards.  
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a  
cloth moistened with water. Never use  
record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any  
anti-static agents.  
NOTE:  
Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)  
The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is  
called a “scene.” Each scene has a scene number.  
For more details, refer to “Locating a Desired Scene Using the  
Menu of a Video CD/SVCD with Playback Control (PBC)  
Function” (pg. 31).  
CAUTION  
Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled.  
This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to  
industry standards.)  
Placing a Disc  
1 Open the disc tray.  
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the  
malfunction of the unit.  
Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.  
The unit’s power comes on  
automatically.  
Do not block the disc tray with  
your hand while it is opening or  
closing as this may result in  
hardware failure.  
Do not place unplayable discs or  
any object other than a disc in  
the disc tray.  
Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy  
objects on it.  
2 Place the disc.  
Place the disc in the disc tray with  
the label side facing up.  
Since disc size changes depending on  
the disc to be played back, be sure to  
correctly align the disc with the  
grooves for its size. If the disc is not in  
its groove, it may be scratched or  
otherwise damaged.  
To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.  
3 Press x on the DVD deck to close the disc tray.  
Pressing 4 also closes the disc tray.  
Playback begins automatically if an auto-playback DVD disc is  
loaded. Although the VHS deck is selected, the DVD deck is  
selected automatically (except when the VHS deck is in the  
timer mode or the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording  
mode.)

Receiving Stereo and Bilingual  
Programmes  
B.E.S.T. Picture System  
Your unit is equipped with a Digital stereo sound decoder  
(NICAM) making reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts  
possible.  
The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking)  
system checks the condition of the tape in use during  
playback and recording, and compensates to provide the  
highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You  
can set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference.  
(pg. 53)  
When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being  
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

To Record NICAM Stereo and Bilingual Programmes  
The NICAM audio programme will be recorded on the Hi-Fi  
audio track, and the standard audio programme will be recorded  
on the normal audio track.  
ATTENTION  
Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually  
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme  
Delivery Control) is a service designed to assure safe,  
accurate timer recording. With this system, special code  
signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals.  
These code signals control your unit and have precedence  
over the advertised times which you may have preset into the  
timer. This means that your unit will start and stop recording  
when the preset TV programmes actually start and end —  
even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is  
changed from what has been advertised. PDC is currently  
available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except  
from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC  
service in some areas. All channels intend to offer this  
service in due course. Check your TV programme listing  
guide for latest information. If the channel you intend to  
record does not offer a PDC service your unit will not start  
recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to set PDC to  
“OFF” if PDC is not available on your selected channel.

NOTES:  
For Example:  
When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON,” it  
is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as  
well.  
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-

Approximately 60 minutes  
LP mode  
Total 210 minutes  
When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another  
video recorder, or when using this unit as the player for  
editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference.  
The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after  
a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated.  
It does not work during recording.  
Make sure you set this function to “ON,” before the timer-  
recording starts.  
The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite  
Programme Recording is in progress. (pg. 28)  
In the case of timer recordings, the B.E.S.T. system works  
before recording is initiated.  
Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The  
next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-  
performed.  
NOTES:  
If you have programmed the unit to timer-record 2 or more  
programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may  
not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]LP TIMER” to “ON.”  
In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the  
tape speed manually during timer programming.  
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this  
feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of  
the tape.  
Pressing the unit’s 7 button while “BEST” is displayed does  
not start Instant Timer Recording. (pg. 22)  
There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point  
on the tape where the unit switches from SP to LP mode.  
The Auto SP]LP Timer feature is not available during ITR  
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature 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 PDC and the Auto  
SP]LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its  
originally scheduled length, there may be times when the  
programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.  
8 PICTURE CONTROLAUTO / EDIT / SOFT  
This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality  
according to your preference. Normally select “AUTO.”  
AUTO: Provides the optimised picture benefits of the B.E.S.T.

SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)  
NOTES:  
If you set the unit to a channel which is occupied by a local  
station or has neighbouring channels that are occupied by  
local stations, the picture reception quality will be affected  
and some interference noise will appear on the TV screen. Be  
sure to select a vacant channel which has no broadcast on  
neighbouring channels.  
Video Channel Set  
Video channel (RF output channel) is the channel on which your  
TV receives picture and sound signals from the unit through the  
RF cable.  
IMPORTANT  
If you cannot obtain the two vertical white bars clearly with  
any channel between 22 and 69, consult your JVC dealer.  
Perform the following steps only if —  
— Video Channel Set has not been done correctly by the  
Auto Set Up function (pg. 12),  
— interference appears in the TV picture after you have  
moved to a different area or a new station has started  
broadcasting in your area.  
C Exit the Video Channel Set mode.  
Press ENTER.  
— you change the connection between your unit and TV  
from RF connection to AV connection, or vice versa.  
With AV Connection  
To view picture signals from the unit, set your TV to its  
AV mode.  
If you have connected the unit to your TV via the AV  
connection (pg. 11), you have to set the video  
channel to off.  
If you have connected the unit to your TV via the RF  
connection (pg. 11), you have to set the correct  
video channel.  
With RF Connection  
The channel you have set in step B is your video  
channel.  
To view picture signals from the unit, set your TV to  
this video channel.  
Before performing the following steps:

Press PR + or to set the unit to a vacant channel  
between 22 and 69 which is not occupied by any local  
station in your area.  
(Example) If channel 50 is available in your area  
Then set your TV to UHF channel 50.  
If the two vertical white bars appear  
clearly on the TV screen as shown to  
the right, go to step C.  
If the two vertical white bars do not  
appear clearly, re-set the unit to  
another vacant channel and try again.
