SECAM-West), and SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called SECAM-East).
1. This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television signals for recording and playback.
2. Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on a
video recorder of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on a
PAL video recorder with SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-compatible).
3. SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a SECAM-L video recorder produce
monochrome pictures when played back with this recorder.
4. This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L
signals.
IMPORTANT
8Please read the various precautions on pages 2 and 4 before installing or operating the recorder.
8It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without
the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme
and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.

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.
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 1button 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.

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.
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.
●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.
●DO NOT use the recorder placed vertically.
NOTE:
The hard disk may produce mechanical noise, but it is not a
malfunction.
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.
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.
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.

INSTALLING YOUR NEW RECORDER
Basic Connection It’s essential that your video recorder be properly
connected.
ACheck the contents.
Make sure the package contains all of the accessories
listed in “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 98.
BSituate the recorder.
Place the recorder on a stable, horizontal surface.
CConnect the recorder to TV.
ADisconnect the TV aerial cable from the TV.
BConnect the TV aerial cable to the ANTENNA IN
connector on the rear panel of the recorder.
CConnect the provided RF cable between the
ANTENNA OUT connector on the rear panel of the
recorder and the TV’s aerial connector.
DConnect the provided 21-pin SCART cable between
the AV1 (L-1) IN/OUT connector on the rear panel of
the recorder and the TV’s 21-pin SCART connector.
●The AV1 (L-1) IN/OUT connector accepts and delivers either a
composite signal (regular video signal) or a Y/C signal (a signal
in which the luminance and chrominance signals are
separated). If your TV’s 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is
compatible with the Y/C signal, set “L-1 OUTPUT” to
“S-VIDEO” after the connection and the initial settings are
completed (墌pg. 64). You can obtain high-quality S-VHS
pictures. (For connection, be sure to use a 21-pin SCART cable
that is compatible with the Y/C signal.)
●Set your TV to the VIDEO (or AV), Y/C, or RGB mode
according to the type of your TV’s SCART connector.
●For switching the TV’s mode, refer to the instruction manual of
your television.
●To obtain high-quality S-VHS pictures, you can also use the
S-VIDEO connection described on page 13.
DConnect the recorder to mains.
Plug the end of the mains power cord into a mains outlet.
ATTENTION:
Your TV must have a 21-pin AV input connector
(SCART) for the connection to the recorder.
