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 on the surface of a glass

will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation
may occur, keep the recorder’s power turned on for a few hours to
let the moisture dry.

Changing Remote Control Code
This remote control 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 recorder is initially set to
respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your recorder
and the remote control to respond to B code signals. When using
two JVC recorders, set two recorders and their remote controls to
different codes, so that you can operate these recorders separately.

recorder’s AV input connectors to the AV output connectors on
the other recorder. If the source player is monaural, connect the
audio output connector on the source player to the left audio

NOTES:
When viewing NTSC tapes on a PAL TV set:
● The picture may shrink vertically with black bars appearing at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of the
video recorder nor the TV.
● The picture may roll up or 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.)
● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.
ATTENTION:
When this recorder is connected to a multi-system TV, the audio signal may not be heard or may be noisy if the colour system select switch
of the TV is adjusted to the AUTO position. In such a case, set the TV’s colour system select switch to the appropriate position which
corresponds to the TV system you have selected at the TV System Select screen.

IMPORTANT
● If no sound accompanies the picture or the audio sounds
unnatural on some channels that have been stored by Auto

IMPORTANT
Perform the following steps only if auto channel set has not been
set correctly by Auto Set Up function or if you have moved to a
different area or if a new station starts broadcasting in your area.
● Since your recorder memorises all detected stations even if the
reception condition is poor, some of those stored stations may
produce a noisy picture. To delete those stations, refer to
“Delete A Channel”.
Your recorder needs to memorise all necessary stations in channel
positions in order to record TV programmes. Auto Channel Set
automatically assigns all receivable stations in your area so that
you can call them up with the PR+/– buttons without going
through any vacant channels.
