The following conditions are product features and do not indicate mechanical problems.
Playback of tapes recorded in D-VHS mode
• You may see a mosaic (block) noise, grayed images, or
a still image in cases of excessive distortion caused
when playing back a damaged tape or when the heads
are momentarily dirty.
• After you press [PLAY (I)], it takes a moment until you
see the image and hear the sound.
• After you switch playback speeds (when switching from
special effect playback to normal playback, for
example), it takes a moment until you see the image
and hear the sound. For a few seconds, the image may
be played back out of sync with the sound.
Searching images on D-VHS tapes
• The images appear frame by frame.
• Block noise may appear on the bottom half of images.
• When the blank portion is reached, a still scene of the
last recorded image is displayed.
The picture stops/There is no sound
• When two or more devices are connected to this VCR
with the i.LINK cable (a camcorder and another i.LINK-
compatible device), do not turn on the camcorder if
you record a program from an another i.Link-
compatible device. Turning on and off the camcorder
may cause momentary still images and loss of sound.
Image or sound is distorted
• When recording from a camcorder connected to this
VCR with the i.LINK cable, the image or sound may be
distorted. If this occurs, insert a D-VHS cassette in the
VCR and turn off and on the VCR, then start recording
again. If the problem is not fixed, record using the
audio/video input connectors instead of i.LINK
connector.
Recording from camcorders and other devices via
i.LINK connector
• You may see a mosaic (block) noise.
• For scenes with fast action, the image may jitter. This
does not affect recording, which will proceed as usual.
• When you watch the camcorder’s search images
through this VCR, the block noise may appear.
• When you record audio-dubbed DVC cassettes (tapes
which have four recorded channels), sound may not be
heard for the first few seconds.
• When you eject and insert D-VHS cassettes, the sound
may be interrupted for an instant.
• When you press [REC SPEED] to switch recording
speed, the sound may be interrupted for an instant.
Incorrect image formatting for wide TVs
• If you have connected two different devices using the
S-video output connectors on the back of the VCR, the
sensing signal for wide TVs may not be output correctly
depending on the connected devices. If this occurs, use
the TV controls to switch the screen size.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR 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 filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation
on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the VCR turned
on for a few hours to evaporate the moisture before inserting a tape.
ABOUT HEAD CLEANING
Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads may cause the playback picture to become blurred or
interrupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such troubles occur.
ATTENTION
This VCR contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference can cause microcomputer to
malfunction. If the VCR does not operate correctly switch its power off and unplug the AC power cord from the AC
supply. Wait for a while and then plug the power back in. Eject and check the condition of the cassette. If everything
appears normal, you can operate the VCR as usual.
