SYSTEM MENU
This Menu Screen cannot be accessed while
recording.
REC MODE
Allows you to set the recording mode. “LP” (Long
Play) is more economical, providing twice the
recording time.
• If the recording mode is switched during
recording, the playback picture will be blurred at
the switching point.
D. ZOOM
Zooming is possible from 16X (the optical zoom
limit), to a maximum of 50X or 700X digital
magnification.
When set to “OFF” only optical zoom (maximum
16x magnification) can function.
WIDE
When set to “ON” black bars will be recorded at the
top and bottom of the screen to produce a cinema-
like “wide-screen” effect. Not effective with
“Snapshot”

S-VHS (S-VHS ET)
ON: With an S-VHS cassette, “S” appears and
the camcorder records in S-VHS.
With a VHS cassette, “S-ET” appears and the
camcorder records with S-VHS picture quality,
which is called Super VHS ET (Expansion
Technology). S-VHS REC appears during
recording.
OFF: Records in VHS on a VHS or S-VHS
cassette.
• JVC EHG (Extra High Grade) tapes are recom-
mended for superior results.
Use S-VHS tape for storing recordings for an
extended period or for recording important
scenes, as it enables higher-quality recording and
playback.
• With some tapes, better picture quality may not
be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is
recommended that you do test record beforehand
to make sure whether better results can be
obtained.
• If the S-VHS ET mode or recording format is
switched during recording, the playback picture
will be blurred at the switching point.
• It is recommended that tapes recorded on this
camcorder be played back on this camcorder.
• Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode can
be played back not only on this camcorder but
also on a Super VHS VCR.
— Tapes recorded in S-VHS ET mode cannot be
played back on some VCRs, including some
JVC VCRs.
• Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode
cannot be played back correctly on a normal VHS
VCR.
• S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.
• To avoid on-screen noise, do not perform Still
Playback or Shuttle Search repeatedly.
• If the picture contains a lot of jitter or noise, use a
cleaning cassette.
