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.

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.

CAUTION:

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE

BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS

If you perform the Advanced Auto Clock Set procedure . . .

● Select the PBS channel on your cable box before plugging your VCR’s power plug into the AC outlet. (If you have more than one PBS channel, you may have to select an alternative PBS channel if Advanced Auto Clock Set is not successful.)

● If there is no PBS channel in your area, perform the

Manual Clock Set procedure (

Z

pg. 11).

● For automatic clock adjustment to take place the VCR's power must be off and the cable box must be set to the

PBS channel at clock adjustment times.

● If you perform Advanced Auto Clock Set successfully,

D.S.T. will be set to “AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time

(

Z

pg. 11), your VCR's power must be off and your cable box must be set to the host PBS channel in your area for the

D.S.T. adjustment to take place. If the clock is not set correctly, change the D.S.T. setting to “ON” or “OFF. See step 9 of Semi-Auto procedure (

Z

pg. 10) or step 6 of

Manual procedure (

Z

pg. 11).

INITIAL SETTINGS

Advanced Auto Clock Set

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. With the antenna cable connected, your VCR can automatically set the clock when the power plug is first connected to an AC outlet.

The Advanced Auto Clock Set function scans all the channels received by your VCR to find the Host Channel and then sets the clock.

*Don’t turn the power on until the time (or “- - : - - ”) appears on the front display panel.

Before the clock is set, AUTO appears on the display.

NOT SET SET

PM

After setting, the current time appears (in hours and minutes).

The Advanced Auto Clock Set function will normally set the clock correctly. However, 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. 10) or Manual (

Z

pg. 11) clock setting procedure.

If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET" is selected at the Override Auto Clock Set screen on page 10, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the Host PBS 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 is "AUTO CLOCK SET".

If “- - : - - ” appears on the display, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR, there may not be a Host PBS signal available in your area, or your cable box may not be set to the

PBS channel. If the antenna connection or cable box setting is incorrect, connect the antenna cable to the VCR or select the correct cable channel. Then power on and power off the VCR, the Advanced Auto Clock Set mode will be automatically reactivated and "Auto" will be displayed on the VCR's front panel. If everything is connected and set correctly, perform the

Manual Clock Set procedure (

Z

pg. 11).

NOTE:

If, due to a power outage or other event, the memory backup fails, Advanced Auto Clock Set is performed when power is restored to the VCR.

About Your Cable Box

This VCR has two separate methods to control your Cable Box.

● The VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your

Cable Box.

This eliminates the need for a separate Cable Box Remote

Control Unit.

● The VCR's Cable Box Controller can also control your Cable Box.

This allows the VCR to change your Cable Box'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 54. To set up the Cable Box

Controller go to page 17.

NOTES:

● Although the supplied Cable Box Controller is compatible with many different cable box brands, it is possible that it will not work with your cable box.

● If your cable box doesn’t respond to any code between 1 and

69, you can’t use the Controller to change cable box channels. In this case, make sure to leave the cable box turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the scheduled start of timer recording.

Please contact your cable company about the possibility of exchanging your current cable box with one that is compatible with your VCR.

● The VCR can only change the cable box channel through the

Cable Box Controller during timer recording.

● If your cable box is one that can’t be operated with a remote control (has no remote sensor), you can’t use the Cable Box

Controller to change its channels. Make sure to leave the cable box turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the scheduled start of timer recording.

The VCR Plus+ timer programming system eliminates the need to input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the timer record function. Simply key in the PlusCode number for the TV program you wish to record (found in most TV listings) and the VCR’s timer is automatically programmed.

Depending on the TV or cable stations that you receive and the channel numbers that they are received on in your area, you may have to make certain changes in your VCR’s “Guide Channel Set” menu to get proper results. Please read the following information carefully to find out which tasks you need to perform.

Before VCR Plus+ setup you must have performed the following procedures:

● Advanced Auto Clock Setting ( Z

pg. 8)

OR

Clock setting (

● Tuner setting (

Z

Z

pg. 9)

pg. 13)

● Tuner and cable box setting if you receive your TV channels through a cable box (

Z

pg. 16)

Channel Number Matching

Most TV listings have a chart indicating the “Guide Channel” number assigned to each station for purposes of VCR Plus+ programming. Check the chart in your TV listings and see if the

Guide Channel numbers listed for the stations you receive are the same as the channel number on which each is received by your VCR or cable box.

**SPECIAL NOTES FOR CABLE SUBSCRIBERS**

● In many instances, cable TV stations have VCR Plus+ Guide

Channel numbers that DO NOT match the number of the channel on which you receive the station. Check your TV listings, or contact your cable supplier for details.

● Many normal broadcast TV stations can be viewed on cable.

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

If the numbers match, go directly to “VCR Plus+ Timer

Programming” (

Z

pg. 38).

If the numbers are different, and you want to be able to timer record programs from those stations, you have to inform the

VCR of the mismatch. Go to step 1. If you will not want to timer record from those stations, you can go directly to “VCR Plus+

Timer Programming” (

● Insert editing is not possible with cassettes whose safety tab has been removed.

● In insert editing, the recording speed (SP/EP) is determined by the previous recording to be replaced. If the previous recording's speed changes within a single edit, the inserted picture will be distorted at the switching point.

● A small portion of the recording which precedes an insert edit may become erased.

● Insert Editing is also possible using the rear connectors.

● Connections made to the front panel VIDEO and AUDIO inputs automatically override any rear panel VIDEO/AUDIO or S-VHS input connections. If you wish to edit with another machine connected to the rear input connectors, make sure that there is nothing connected to the front connectors.

● During scene search, the recording deck automatically enters its Record-Standby mode. "SEARCHING" appears on the screen.

END R.A. EDIT

Press MENU as many times as necessary to return to the normal screen, and engage the Stop mode for the both

NOTES:

● You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes you want to edit in steps 7 – 8. Since you can hear the soundtrack during selection, you can avoid abrupt or unnatural sounding scene-to-scene transitions.

● When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the source tape between the locations you chose as edit-in/out points and the locations the VCR recognizes as those points.

● There are no limitations for R.A. Edit list (such as repeat segments, negative counter values, segments out of order).

Only the start-stop sequence has to be in the normal play direction.

● For any scene, the edit-out point must have a counter reading that is at least 1 second after the corresponding edit-in point. Any less than 1 second and the edit-out point will not be registered.

● Since the source VCR prerolls during Random Assemble

Editing, there must be at least 15 seconds worth of recorded material prior to any edit-in point on the source tape.

● If the search time for an edit-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording deck enters its Stop mode and editing will not take place.

To Make Corrections . . .

. . . during step 7 or 8, you can cancel registered in and out points by pressing CANCEL on the remote control. Each time you press, the preceding point is erased.

● If, for example, you have registered 5 sets of in and out points and want to reset the first set, you have to press CANCEL until all points after the first set have been erased. Reenter them after you've repaired the first set of points.

Memory Capacity

Random Assemble Editing shares memory space with the VCR's timer. If there are programs occupied by timer-recording data, those spaces cannot be used to register edit-in and -out points — meaning you won't be able to edit

8 scenes.
