AUDIO MONITOR HI-FI/HI-FI L/HI-FI R/NORM/MIX
This VCR can record two sound tracks simultaneously (normal and
Hi-Fi) on a Hi-Fi stereo tape. You can select the sound track(s) to
listen to while playing back a Hi-Fi stereo tape. In addition, when
playing back a prerecorded tape containing two separate audio
programs on the Hi-Fi tracks, you can choose either one by
selecting either HI-FI L or HI-FI R.
HI-FI: Normally select this. Hi-Fi sound is played back.
HI-FI L: Sound on the left Hi-Fi channel is played back.
HI-FI R: Sound on the right Hi-Fi channel is played back.
NORM: Sound on the normal track is played back.
MIX: Both sounds on the Hi-Fi track and normal track are mixed
and played back.
NOTES:
While playing back a monaural tape, sounds on the normal
track will be heard regardless of this setting.
If RF connection (
pg. 5) 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. (
pg. 9)
S-VHS MODE 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.
When this function is set to OFF, you can record on S-VHS
tapes with VHS picture quality.
NOTES:
S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings
with horizontal resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230
lines of resolution of conventional VHS recordings. To achieve
the highest quality picture we recommended to record in S-VHS
mode. (But remember that a conventional VHS VCR without
SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.)
S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes.
Recording on VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode
except when using S-VHS ET mode (
pg. 15).
AV COMPU-LINK ON/OFF
The remote PAUSE/AV COMPULINK terminal on the rear panel
can be used as either the remote PAUSE terminal or the AV
COMPULINK terminal.
When this function is set to ON, you can use this terminal as
the AV COMPULINK terminal. By connecting other JVCs AV
COMPULINK components, including amplifiers (or receivers)
and televisions, one touch control of the audio and video
components linked via their AV COMPULINK connectors
becomes possible.
When this function is set to OFF, you can use this terminal as
the remote PAUSE terminal. If your JVC camcorder is equipped
with the Master Edit Control, you can control the VCR from the
camcorder. Connect the mini-plug cable (not supplied with this
VCR) between the remote PAUSE terminal and the EDIT
connector on the camcorder.
NOTE:
Refer to the other components instruction manuals for connection
and its operations.
REAR AUX INPUT VIDEO/S-VIDEO
You have to select which terminal either VIDEO (composite) or
S VIDEO (Y/C separate signals) to use as the video input terminal
on the rear panel.

in recording (editing) on this VCR.
