OTHER USEFUL FUNCTIONS (cont.)
* The default setting is bold in the table below.
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.
NOTES:
While playing back a monaural tape, sounds on the normal track will be heard
regardless of this setting.
If RF connection (
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. (
pg. 23)
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. 27).
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 the this terminal as the
AV COMPULINK terminal.
By connecting other JVCs AV COMPULINK components (see the
diagram on page 43), including amplifiers (or receivers) and televisions,
one touch control of the audio and video components linked via their
AV COMPULINK connectors becomes possible.
For example: simply load a cassette in the VCR and press PLAY ( 3 ) and the
AV COMPULINK components automatically turn on, the TVs AV mode is
selected and the VCR starts playback. (You do not have to press PLAY ( 3 ) if
the cassettes record safety tab is removed.)
When this function is set to OFF, you can use this terminal as the
REMOTE PAUSE terminal. ( pg. 47)
NOTE:
Connection varies depending on the type of JVC TV you have. Refer to the TVs
instruction manual when making this connection.
