Receiving NICAM Stereo
And Bilingual Programmes
Your recorder is equipped with a Digital stereo sound decoder
(NICAM), making reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts
possible.
When the recorder is tuned to a different station, the type of
broadcast being received will be displayed on the TV screen for
a few seconds.
Tape Position Indicator
The tape position indicator
appears on screen when, from
the Stop mode, you press FF,
REW or perform an Index
Search. The position of “
5
” in
relation to “0” (beginning) or
“+” (end) shows you where you
are on the tape.
”O.S.D.” (
Z
pg. 44) must be
set to “ON”, or the indicator
will not appear.
NOTE:
Depending on the type of tape used, there may be times when
the indication is not correct.

Remote A/B Code Switching
The remote control is capable of controlling two JVC video
recorders independently; one set to respond to the remote
control’s A code control signals and another set to respond to B
code control signals. The remote control is preset to send A
code signals because your video recorder is initially set to
respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your video
recorder to respond to B code signals.
