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: 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:
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
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.

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.

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.

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

About Ghosts
Double images of a TV program, or a "ghost", is a common problem with TV reception in urban areas. A broadcasting signal, because of being reflected from some surface (building, mountain, etc.), arrives slightly later than the signals arriving directly from the TV station. This causes ghosts such as followings:
– Double images
– Faint images
– Distorted images
– Distorted colors
– Vertically jittered images
INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)

Ghost Reduction
This VCR is equipped with the Ghost Reduction Tuner. It reduces the ghosts based on a GCR (Ghost Canceller Reference) signal sent from a TV station. The ghost reduction mode can be set for each channel independently.
NOTES:
● Ghosts may not be reduced in the following cases:
– The broadcasting signal does not have a GCR signal.
– The antenna is not connected correctly.
– There are too many ghosts.
– The signal is reflecting from moving objects (airplane, etc.).
● The images on the screen may be distorted when tuning from one channel to another or the power is turned on while the ghost reduction tuner is activated.

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 62. To set up the Controller go to page 19.
INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)
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. 48).
Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the
Controller cannot change the DBS Receiver channels during
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.

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 PLAY-
BACK) 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 (
● During S-VHS ET playback, noise may appear depending on tape quality.
Z
pg. 35).
● Noise may appear during still, frame-by-frame, slow-motion playback and TimeScan search.

TIMER RECORDING (cont.)
IMPORTANT
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 45). When this happens, perform the following steps to set the correct the Guide
Channel number for that station.
To ensure that 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.

● Auto Satellite Prog recording and timer-recording cannot be done at the same time.
NOTES:
● Auto Satellite Prog recording is only possible with the rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors.
● When the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged or the VCR's power is turned off after Auto Satellite Prog recording is finished, the VCR will not enter the Timer mode even though "AUTO TIMER" is set to "ON".
● For timer programming of the satellite receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver.
● Auto Satellite Prog recording is not possible if your satellite receiver does not have a timer.
● The REC LINK button's light blinks while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.
● Pressing the VCR's POWER button while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress turns off the VCR's power and disengages the
Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.
● If there is more than one satellite program you wish to record with Auto Satellite Prog Recording, it is not possible to set a different tape speed for each; the tape speed selected in step 1 will apply to all the programs for Auto Satellite Prog recording.

● Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the VCR may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the program.
● If you engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode when the satellite receiver's power is on, the VCR will not start Auto Satellite Prog recording even though the REC LINK button's light blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the VCR starts recording.
● You can also record a program from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer and is connected to the VCR's rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors.
● When you press the VCR's REC LINK button to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, if the REC LINK button does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite receiver's power is off, Auto Satellite Prog Recording will not work properly with that satellite receiver*.
If this is the case, perform "Express Timer Programming" (

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.
EDITING (cont.)
You can use your VCR as the player or the recorder.

MAKE CONNECTIONS
Connect an AV cable between the player’s VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT connectors and the recorder’s VIDEO
IN and AUDIO IN connectors.
● If using another VCR with an S-VIDEO input or output connector, it is recommended to use the S-
VIDEO connection to minimize picture degradation while editing.
● When using your VCR as the recorder and a monaural
VCR as the player, connect the player’s AUDIO OUT connector to the AUDIO IN L connector on the recorder.
