cancel any unnecessary programmes (੬ Check And Cancel

NOTES:
● 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 as well as some
tapes of shorter lenghs.
● For safety, your recorder disables all other functions while in
the Timer mode. If you want to use the recorder but its Timer
mode is engaged, press TIMER and all other functions are
operable. To re-engage the timer, press TIMER.
● In case of a power failure after programming, the recorder’s
memory backup keeps your selections for 18 hours.
● Backup time becomes shorter as the unit's internal parts
become old. When this occurs, please consult your nearby
JVC dealer.
● Even if, in step 1, you press AUTO SP/LP TIMER and it lights
“orange”, that doesn’t mean that the recorder will automati-
cally change from SP to LP mode during the course of the
recording. Watch the tape later to confirm.
● If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or
more programs, the second programme and those thereafter
may not fit on the tape if you engage the Auto SP/LP Timer
mode. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then
set the tape speed manually during timer programming.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
24
EN
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 goes to its Stop mode auto-
matically 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 "TIMER" 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
can’t find the programme I want to see. Why not?
A. There may be index codes too close together.
ATTENTION:
This recorder contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases,
switch the recorder off and unplug the mains power cord. Then plug it in again and turn the recorder on. Take out the cassette.
