Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing the JVC VHS video cassette recorder. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions contained in the following pages to ensure safe use of your new VCR.

CAUTIONS

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK

HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

This video cassette recorder should be used with AC

120V`, 60Hz only.

To prevent electric shocks and fire hazards, DO NOT use any other power source.

CAUTION:

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE

BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

ATTENTION:

POUR ÉVITER LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE

LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE

CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER

JUSQU'AU FOND.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the VCR, remote control or video cassette.

1. DO NOT place the VCR . . .

... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.

... in direct sunlight.

... in a dusty environment.

... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.

... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

2. DO NOT block the VCR’s ventilation openings.

3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or remote control.

4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the

VCR or remote control.

5. AVOID violent shocks to the VCR during transport.

**MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the VCR’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry before inserting a tape.

**ABOUT HEAD CLEANING

Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads may cause the playback picture to become blurred or interrupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such troubles occur.

5. Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.

To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

• Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

• Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

INSTALLATION

1. Grounding or Polarization

(A) Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternatingcurrent line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.

This is a safety feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

(B) Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

2. Power Sources

Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. If your product is intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

3. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

4. Power Cord Protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

2. Lightning

For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

3. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Plug & Play

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

ATTENTION

If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels manually. ( Z pg.10 – 14)

IMPORTANT

● Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote while

Plug & Play is in progress.

● If you perform Plug & Play successfully, there’s no need to perform the Clock (

Z

pg. 10) and Tuner (

Z

pg. 13) procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 14.

INITIAL SETTINGS

The Plug & Play function sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when power is first connected to the VCR. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play function.

The time and date can be set automatically from clock setting data that is transmitted by one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “Host Channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.

1

PLUG & PLAY SETUP

Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (

Z

pg. 6). Then connect the VCR’s power plug to an AC outlet. Do not power on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.

NOTES:

● Auto clock set is performed first. The auto clock set function scans all the channels received by your VCR to find the Host Channel and then sets the clock.

"Auto" blinks on the front display panel during Auto clock set.

● Auto channel set is performed next. The auto channel set function scans all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. It then automatically assigns each receivable channels to the CH 5∞ (+/–) buttons. It skips non-receivable channels. During auto channel set the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

● When Plug & Play has been completed successfully the correct time is displayed.

● If an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed" below.

During Initial Auto Clock Set

"Auto" blinks.

During Auto Channel Set

The channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

Plug & Play Completed

The current time (including

AM/PM) is displayed.

* If an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed" below.

INFORMATION

● If "AUTO CLOCK" is set to "ON" at the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour on the hour (except for 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) by the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR’s power is turned off. The clock will be adjusted on the hour based on the time displayed on the VCR, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of "AUTO

CLOCK" is "ON".

● If the memory backup fails, because of a power outage or because the AC was removed from the VCR, Plug & Play will be performed when power is restored to the VCR.

What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed

● If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semi-Auto (

Z

pg. 11) or

Manual Clock Set (

Z

pg. 12) procedure. Auto channel set has already taken place and it need not be set again.

● If “- -:- -” appears on the display, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR or there may not be a Host PBS signal available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then power on and power off the VCR; the Plug &

Play function will be automatically reactivated and "Auto" will be displayed on the VCR's front panel. If Plug & Play is not performed but the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure ( set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure ( Z

Z

pg. 12). Auto channel

pg. 13).

About Your DBS Receiver

This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS Receiver.

● The VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control the power and channel functions of your DBS Receiver.

For these functions, the need for a separate DBS Receiver

Control Unit is eliminated.

● The VCR's Controller can also control your DBS Receiver.

This allows the VCR to change your DBS receiver's channel number during timer recording.

Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCR's

Remote Control unit, refer to page 68. To set up the Controller go to page 19.


The following procedure is required if you receive satellite channels through a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) Receiver. The Controller allows the VCR to automatically switch the DBS Receiver's channels during timer recording.

NOTES:

● The VCR can automatically change the DBS Receiver channels using the controller when the VCR has been programmed using

Express Timer Programming ( Z pg. 44).

Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the

Controller cannot change the DBS Receiver channels during the VCR Plus+ Timer Recording.

● If a cable box is also used it is recommended that you connect the DBS receiver to your VCR's A/V inputs and the cable box to your VCR's antenna input.

NOTES:

The presence of a blank (unrecorded) portion in the middle of a tape can result in misoperation.

A "blank portion" of a tape is a section where nothing is recorded on the tape. If you start making a recording in a blank portion of a tape, the time codes will start from

"0:00:00" again. If identical time codes are recorded in two different places on a tape, Random Assemble Editing and other similar functions might not operate properly.

In the following circumstances, you should play the tape and confirm where a scene ends, and then begin recording from there:

● When starting to record in the middle of a tape on which a recording has already been made.

● When you have made a recording on a tape, then played that recording back in order to check it, and now wish to continue recording.

● When you lost power or the batteries died while you were recording with a camcorder.

S-VHS ET

This facility allows recording with S-VHS picture quality on

VHS cassettes. You can play back those cassettes recorded in S-VHS ET on a VCR equipped with S-VHS ET.

NOTES:

● To obtain the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a longer period on this model, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tape is recommended.

● You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this

VCR but also on another VHS VCR equipped with S-VHS

ET.

* It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings.

● S-VHS ET recordings can also be played back on an S-

VHS VCR or a VHS VCR equipped with SQPB (S-VHS

QUASI PLAYBACK) function. However, there may be cases where S-VHS ET playback is not possible on a particular VCR.

● Frequent still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback may damage the tape and cause picture degradation.

● 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.

● High Grade tapes are recommended for superior results.

● Make sure that "VIDEO CALIBRATION" is set to "ON" at the Function screen (

Z

pg. 34).

● During S-VHS ET playback, noise may appear depending on tape quality.

● Noise may appear during still, frame-by-frame and slowmotion playback.

● If the playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.

If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting station's channel number has been changed, the wrong VCR or CABLE CH number will be displayed on the VCR Plus+ program screen (

Z

step 5 on page 41). When this happens, perform the following steps to set the correct the Guide

Channel number for that station.

To ensure that the VCR Plus+Timer Recording operates correctly it is necessary to set the VCR Plus+ "Guide Channel Set " for each station. Please read the following information carefully.

VCR Plus+ Guide Channel Matching

VCR Plus+ programming system assigns a VCR Plus+ "Guide

Channel" to broadcast and cable TV channels. These Guide

Channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ Channel Codes.

Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the

"Guide Channel" numbers assigned to each station. For accurate

VCR Plus+ programming the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel number for each station should match the channel number on which it is received in your area.

NOTES:

● In many instances the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel numbers for cable and broadcast TV stations DO NOT match the channel number on which it is received by your VCR or cable box.

Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

● Many broadcast TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

NOTES:

If you set the dubbing direction incorrectly, you could erase an important recording that you wanted to copy. We recommend conducting a test with unimportant cassettes first.

On the cassette that you are playing (i.e., recording from) we recommend either setting the erase protection switch to

"SAVE" (if the cassette is a Mini DV cassette), or breaking off the record safety tab (if the cassette is a VHS cassette).

Advantages Of S-VHS Editing

S-VHS allows you make high resolution video recordings when dubbing from one VCR to another.

You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, from S-VHS to VHS, or from S-VHS to S-VHS.

● From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the S-

VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the orignal VHS source material, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

● From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the source material is very high, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

● From S-VHS to S-VHS: A high resolution copy is made of a high resolution original S-VHS tape with minimal picture degradation. This is the preferred method of video dubbing.
