Head Cleaning
Perform head cleaning even 20 hours to enjoy clear pictures.
Video heads get soiled with repeated recording and playback, resulting in rough, uneven picture. Perform cleaning of the tape transport mechanism every 20 hours with the provided head cleaning tape dedicated to W-VHS.
How to use the cleaning tape 1. Load the W-VHS dedicated head cleaning tape.
2. Press the PLAY button and then STOP button after about 30 seconds.
3. Unload the head cleaning tape and execute a usual recording and playback procedure on a WVHS cassette to see if audio/visual quality has been recovered.

Cautions
Do not rewind the cleaning tape after every use (for about 30 seconds). You have only to start at the position where the tape stopped in previous cleaning. Rewind to the beginning when the tape has been used to an end.
30 seconds are enough for one run of the cleaning tape. To keep running the tape for longer than 45 seconds may damage the heads.
If sound and picture quality does not recover with the cleaning procedures repeated three times, there may be some other causes of trouble. Consult your JVC dealer.
The W-VHS dedicated cleaning tape can be used 100 times.
Recording or playback is not possible on the cleaning tape.

Basic Operations
3 Adjust the Hi-Fi recording level. a. Set the REC LEVEL switch to “MANUAL”. b. Select Hi-Fi audio with the AUDIO OUT SELECT button. (See page 18). c. Adjust the recording level and L/R balance. While checking with the audio level meter, adjust with the REC LEVEL and BALANCE knobs, set the level so that maximum volume causes the meters to vary between 0dB to 4dB. Perform adjustment carefully, as too low a recording level may lead to a greater noise and too high a level may cause a distortion.

4 Start recording.
a. Press the REC button, whereupon recording starts.
b. Press the PAUSE/STILL button for a brief pause of recording.
c. Pressing the PLAY button resumes recording. d. Press the STOP button to bring recording to an
end.
Notes: VHS recording is not possible with S-VHS
cassette. When pause remains for longer than five
minutes, the machine automatically stops recording to protect tape and video head from damage.

How to Check the Tape Remaining Time
Press the COUNTER/REMAIN button during recording or playback. Every press of the button changes the display, alternating between counter reading and tape remaining time.

Notes: The tape remaining time is just an approxi-
mation you can refer to. Depending on the type of tape used, there may
be times when the tape remaining time reading may not appear right away or is not correct.

Retake Function
You can cut unnecessary parts of a program during recording. This facility does not work when a W-VHS tape is used. a. With the recording pause mode engaged, search
for the beginning of the unnecessary part (where you want to adjoin the program) with JOG dial or SHUTTLE ring. b. Let go of the JOG/SHUTTLE at the start of the unnecessary part. The unit enters the pause mode when you do this. c. Press PLAY button at the part of the program you want to continue recording. Recording resumes.
