For Italy:
“It is declared that this product, brand JVC, conforms to the Ministry Decree n. 548 of 28 Aug.’95
published in the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic n. 301 of 28 Dec.’95”
The STANDBY/ON 1 button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches
operating current on and off. “`” shows electrical power standby and “!” shows ON.
Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP/EP (Long Play/Extended Play) mode cannot be
played back on a single-speed video recorder.
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.)
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws
governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the recorder, remote control or video
cassette.
1. DO NOT place the recorder ...
... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.
... 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 recorder’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 recorder or remote control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the recorder or remote control.
(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 recorder during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or
under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in 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 recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

SAFETY FIRST (cont.)
PRECAUTION FOR Hard Disk Drive
1. Before installing the recorder
This recorder has a built-in hard disk drive,
which is a device to read minute magnetic
changes.
2. Before using the recorder
When the power of the unit is on, the hard disc
is constantly rotating at high speed.
This requires you to note the following:
● DO NOT impart vibration or shock.
The inside of the device is precision-built,
which, when installing the recorder, requires
you to note the following:
● DO NOT use the recorder in a location prone to
vibration or dust.
If given a heavy shock, not only is the data recorded
damaged but also the hard disk itself can be
damaged.
● DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism
or emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cell
phones, etc.) near the recorder.
● DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall
outlet when the power of the recorder is on.
If the power supply is cut off while the hard disc is
in operation, it can be damaged or the data stored
on it may be damaged. Be sure to push the power
button before turning off the power.
● DO NOT place the recorder where difference in
temperatures is large (condensation can occur), or
where humidity is high.
– When condensation occurs
Water droplets form on the hard disc or head
drums inside, possibly causing hard disc and
heads to be damaged.
– About condensation
When well-cooled beer is poured into a glass,
water droplets often form around its outside.
This phenomenon is called condensation.
● DO NOT install the recorder where the cooling
fans in its back may be blocked, or where the
recorder may be closed in.
3. While using the recorder
When viewing a program by selecting HDD
(Hard Disk Drive), there occurs a slight time lag
relative to the actual program being broadcast.
This is because pictures received are once
stored on the hard disk, and then played back.
The time lag is about three seconds. If you turn
the power on with the hard disk already
selected, it will take about 30 seconds before
the pictures received appear on the screen. Up
until then, any operation is disabled. But it is not
a malfunction.
● DO NOT use the recorder placed vertically.
NOTE:
The hard disk may produce mechanical noise, but it is not a
malfunction.

The larger this value, the better the picture quality is but the
more capacity is required for recording. Select SP for
programmes where quick movement occurs, such as sports
programmes, and SEP for talk shows, etc. where relativity less
movement.

Recording
B.E.S.T. Picture
System
The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you
initiate recording.
DURING B.E.S.T.
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
(੬ pg. 77).
B.E.S.T. COMPLETE
● The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the
condition of the tape, then begins recording.
Playback
NOTES:
The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you
initiate playback.
● The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP (or EP) modes
only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first
initiated. It does not work during recording.
● The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite
Programme Recording is in progress (੬ pg. 47).
● 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.
● The recorder adjusts the playback picture quality based on the
quality of the tape in use.
● B.E.S.T. is active during automatic tracking. “BEST” appears
blinking on the recorder’s front display panel.
● Pressing the recorder’s 7 button while “BEST” is displayed
does not start Instant Timer Recording (੬ pg. 37).
NOTES:
● 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.
ATTENTION
Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7
and 4 on the remote control are pressed, or 7 on the
recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the desired
scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the following
steps:
● When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another
video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for
editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference (੬ pg. 77).
● “BEST” only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking.
Even though it doesn’t appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is
operative.
A Press and hold 9 and press 7 to engage the Record
Pause mode.
● The recorder then automatically checks the condition of
the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters
Record Pause mode.
B Press 4 to start recording.
If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin recording
immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF” (੬ pg. 77).

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are
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 video recorder and have precedence over the

the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if
the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.

ATTENTION
● Be sure not to turn on the satellite receiver before the
Automatic Satellite
Programme
programme is executed; otherwise, the recorder will start
recording when the satellite receiver’s power is turned on.
● If you have connected another appliance other than a
satellite receiver to the AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector,
be sure not to engage the Automatic Satellite Programme
Recording mode; otherwise, the recorder will start
recording when the connected appliance’s power is turned
on.
Recording
● Automatic Satellite Programme Recording and
timer-recording cannot be done at the same time.
Before performing the following steps:
NOTE:
● Make sure the satellite receiver is connected to the recorder’s
AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector. (੬ pg. 70, 71)
● Programme the timer on the satellite receiver.
This function is available for the HDD deck only.
This function allows you to automatically record a
satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your
external satellite receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to
the recorder’s AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector and
programme the timer on the satellite receiver. When the
signals come into the recorder from the satellite receiver,
the recorder automatically turns on and starts recording
on HDD deck.
A Select the L-2 SELECT mode.
Set “L-2 SELECT” to “A/V” or “SAT” (੬ pg. 65).
● When you select “SAT”, refer to “IMPORTANT” on page 70.

Satellite Programme Recording will not work properly with that satellite receiver*. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer
Programming” (੬ pg. 44) to timer-record a satellite programme.
* Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers.
● The SAT# button blinks while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress.
● For timer programming of the satellite receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver.
● Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is not possible if your satellite receiver does not have a timer.
● Pressing the recorder’s 1 button while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress turns off the recorder’s power and
disengages the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode.
● If there are more than one satellite programmes you wish to record with Automatic Satellite Programme Recording, it is not possible
to set different recording speeds for each programme.
● Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the recorder may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the programme or may
record slightly longer than the actual length of the programme.
● If you engage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode when the satellite receiver’s power is on, the recorder will not
start Automatic Satellite Programme Recording even though the SAT# button blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and
is turned back on again, the recorder starts recording.
● You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.
● Just Clock (੬ pg. 88) does not work when the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode is engaged.
● When the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode is engaged, or the recorder’s power is turned off after Automatic Satellite
Programme Recording is finished, the recorder will not enter the Timer mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON”
(੬ pg. 78).

● This recorder has a dynamic range of more than 80 dB with
regards to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that
you check the maximum level if you are going to listen to the
Hi-Fi audio signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge
in the input level to the speakers may damage them.
Connect the AUDIO OUT L and R connectors on your
video recorder to the AUX IN or TAPE MONITOR
connectors on your stereo system’s receiver or amplifier.
● Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to
prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded
type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this
can adversely affect the video playback picture.
NOTE:
When listening to sound through the connected stereo system,
turn the TV’s volume down completely.

SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)
VCR SET UP 1 (cont.)
* The default setting is bold in the table below.
When this function is set to “ON”, the recorder automatically switches to LP
mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the
entire programme while timer-recording in SP mode.
8 AUTO SP]LP TIMER

OFF
For Example . . .
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-minute tape
Approximately 150 minutes
SP mode
Approximately 60 minutes
LP mode
Total 210 minutes
Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-recording starts.
NOTES:
● If you have programmed the recorder 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.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the
recorder 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 VPS/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.
You can play back PAL, NTSC and MESECAM tapes, or record PAL and SECAM*
signals on this recorder. Select the appropriate colour system.
8 COLOUR SYSTEM
PAL/NTSC
MESECAM
PAL/NTSC: To record PAL signals, or play back a PAL or NTSC tape.
MESECAM: To record SECAM signals, or play back a MESECAM tape.
* SECAM signals will be recorded as MESECAM on this recorder; MESECAM is the
designation for tapes with SECAM signals that have been recorded on a
MESECAM-compatible PAL video cassette recorder.
NOTES:
● It is not possible to record in S-VHS if “MESECAM” is selected. The recording mode is
forced to change to VHS.
● If “MESECAM” is selected when the tape speed is set to EP mode, the tape speed will be
forced to change to LP mode.
● It is not possible to select EP mode if “MESECAM” is selected.
About NTSC Playback
● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the
TV screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.
● The picture may roll up and 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.)
● The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there
may be a loss of colour.
● Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays
may be cut off during NTSC playback.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
PLAYBACK
TIMER RECORDING
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached
during playback or search?
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the
beginning.
Q. “o” and “#” remain lit on the front display
panel. Is there a problem?
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer
recording in progress.
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in
the still mode?
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to
protect the heads.
Q. Can I programme the timer while I’m watching
a tape or a TV broadcast?
A. You won’t see the picture as it is replaced by the
on-screen menu, but the audio from the
programme or tape you’re viewing can be
heard.
Q. When returning from variable-speed search to
normal playback, the picture is disturbed.
Should I be concerned about this?
A. No, it is normal.
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the video
recorder can’t find the programme I want to
see. Why not?
A. There may be index codes too close together.
RECORDING
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the
end of the recording before the pause is
overlapped by the beginning of the
continuation of recording. Why does this
happen?
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause
and resume points.
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in
the Record-Pause mode?
A. No. The video recorder goes to its Stop mode
automatically after 5 minutes to protect the
heads.
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during
recording?
A. The video recorder automatically rewinds it to
the beginning.
