NOTE:
Ⅵ DIGITAL TBC/NR — ON/OFF
The setting you have made is kept in memory. Even if the VCR is
unplugged or the power failure occurs, it will resume every time
you turn on the VCR.
Your VCR is equipped with a Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector)
that removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable
picture even with old tapes and rental cassettes. The on/off of
Digital — DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables
clear picture reproduction is also linked to this function. It is
recommended to use the Digital TBC feature when playing back a
tape recorded on a camcorder, playing back a tape repeatedly
used and using this video recorder as the player for editing.
Ⅵ ON SCREEN (PLAY) — ON/OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, if you press OSD (OK)
(੬ pg. 6) various VCR status information (on-screen display)
appears on the screen during playback.
NOTES:
NOTES:
● If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception
condition, there may be cases where the picture becomes more
stable with DIGITAL TBC/NR set to OFF.
● When you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing a tape,
be sure to set this function to “OFF”; otherwise, the VCR status
information (on-screen display) will be recorded on the edited
tape.
● When DIGITAL TBC/NR is set to ON, if you play back a tape
where certain types of signals are recorded (using PC or some
character generators), the playback picture may be distorted. If
this the case, set DIGITAL TBC/NR to OFF.
● If you select a channel on which no signal is received, the
channel number is displayed regardless of this function setting.
● The setting you have made is kept in memory. Even if the VCR is
unplugged or the power failure occurs, it will resume every time
you turn on the VCR.
Ⅵ VIDEO CALIBRATION — ON/OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, this VCR checks the condition
of the tape in use during playback and recording, and
compensates to provide the highest-possible pictures. This takes
place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after
inserting a tape.
Ⅵ AUTO SP]EP TIMER — ON/OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, the VCR automatically
switches to EP mode to allow complete recording if there is not
enough tape to record the entire program while timer-recording in
SP mode.

For Example, Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto
a 120-minute tape
● During playback, this function is always working even though
“VIDEO CALIBRATION” appears just at the beginning of
automatic tracking.
Approximately 110 minutes
Approximately 30 minutes
● During recording, this function works only for the first EP
recording and the first SP recording on an inserted tape.
● When you play back rental tapes or tapes recorded on other
VCRs, set this function either “ON” or “OFF” whichever gives
you the best picture.
SP mode
EP mode
Make sure you set this function to “ON” before the timer-
recording starts.
NOTES:
● If you have programed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more
programs, the second program and those thereafter may not fit
on the tape with this function set to “ON”. In this case, do not
use this function, but change the tape speed manually during
timer programing.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this
function may leave a slight non-recorded portion at the end of
the tape.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the tape
speed switches from SP to EP mode on the tape.
● This function will not work properly on the following tapes:
T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-120.
Ⅵ PICTURE CONTROL — AUTO(NORM)/EDIT/SOFT/SHARP
This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality
according to your preference.
AUTO (NORM): Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted
automatically. When “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is “OFF”, “NORM”
will appear instead of “AUTO”.
EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and
playback).
SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes
containing much noise.
SHARP: Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with
much flat, same-colored surfaces such as cartoons.
Ⅵ DIGITAL R3 — ON/OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, edge correction to the
luminance signal is performed to enhance details. Normally set
this function to “ON”.
NOTES:
● When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected
mode will not change until you select again.
● Select “EDIT” when you are editing tapes (੬ pg. 22). After you
finish editing the tapes, select “AUTO” (“NORM” when “VIDEO
CALIBRATION” is “OFF”.)
NOTES:
● Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may
be better with “DIGITAL R3” set to “OFF”.

● The S-VHS ET function does not work with S-VHS tape.
● To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures
over a long period of time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tape is
recommended.
● Use of high grade tapes are recommended for S-VHS ET
recordings. On some tapes, picture quality will not improve
even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the recording
quality before you start important recordings.
● While playing back a tape recorded with this function on some
tapes, noise may appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred
or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)
Ⅵ AUDIO MONITOR — HI-FI/HI-FI L/HI-FI R/NORM/MIX

automatically rewound.
NOTES:
● While playing back a monaural tape, sounds on the normal
track will be heard regardless of this setting.
ON: Playback stops at the end of the recording.
OFF: Playback stops at the end of tape.
● If RF connection (੬ pg. 7) is used for viewing pictures on the
TV, sound will be monaural even though you select “HI-FI”.
● You can also use the A.MONITOR button on the Remote to
select the desired monitor sound. (੬ pg. 11)
NOTE:
The setting you have made is kept in memory. Even if the VCR is
unplugged or the power failure occurs, it will resume every time
you turn on the VCR.
Ⅵ S-VHS MODE — ON/OFF
Ⅵ DAY/TIME INSERT — ON/OFF
You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode
or VHS mode — is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.
● When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on S-VHS
tapes with S-VHS picture quality.

Changing Remote Control Code
Editing
This Remote 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 VCR is initially set to respond to A code
signals. You can easily modify your VCR and the Remote to
respond to B code signals. When using two JVC VCRs, set two
VCRs and their Remotes to different codes, so that you can
operate these VCRs separately.
Editing with Another VCR
You can use your VCR as the playback or recording VCR. You can
use a camcorder as the playback VCR and your VCR as the
recording VCR. Refer also to the other components’ instruction
manuals for connection and its operations.
