Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe
Use Of Equipment
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.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnec-
tions between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equip-
ment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damanged 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 de-
signed 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. Overheat-
ing 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 instruc-
tions.
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!

Remote A/B Code Switching
The remote control is capable of controlling two JVC video
recorders independently; one set to respond to the remote
control’s A code control signals and another set to respond to B
code control signals. The remote control is preset to send A
code signals because your video recorder is initially set to
respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your video
recorder to respond to B code signals.

Press PLAY. “NT” appears on the display panel.
● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place

black bars at the top and bottom of the 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.

NOTES:
● 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.
● In the case of timer recording, 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.
ATTENTION:
Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after
RECORD and PLAY on the remote are pressed, or RECORD
on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the
desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the
following steps:
1) Press and hold PAUSE and RECORD 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.
2) Press PLAY to start recording.

● If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin

set the tape speed manually during timer programming.
● There may be some noise at the point on the tape where the
recorder switches from SP to LP mode.
● If you perform timer recording with both PDC and the Auto

PDC Recording
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 video recorder and have precedence over
advertised times you preset in the timer. This means that your
recorder 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.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
42
PLAYBACK
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. 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
still mode?
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect
the heads.
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the
Record-Pause mode?
A. No. The video recorder shuts off automatically after 5
minutes to protect the heads.
Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame
playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the
problem?
A. This is normal.
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?
A. The video recorder automatically rewinds it to the
beginning.
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be
concerned about this?
TIMER RECORDING
A. No, it is normal.
Q. "REC" and "‰" remain lit on the display panel. Is
there a problem?
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in
progress.
Q. Noise bars appear during multi-speed search. What’s
the problem?
A. This is normal.
Q. Can I program 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 program or tape
you’re viewing can be heard.
Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect
does removing the Record Safety tab have?
A. It disables marking of index codes.
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the video recorder
