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

110V – 220V`, 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:

POUR ÉVITER LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

q

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. 7) and Tuner ( Z pg. 10) procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 12.

ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS

If you perform the Plug & Play 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 Plug & Play is not successful.)

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

Manual Clock Set procedure ( Z pg. 9).

● 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 Plug & Play successfully, D.S.T. will be set to “AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time (

Z

pg. 9), 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. 8) or step 6 of Manual procedure (

Z

pg. 9).

NOTE:

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.

EN

5

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

● 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 ▲▼ 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 "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET" is selected at the Override Auto Clock Set screen on page 8, 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 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. 8) or Manual

Clock Set (

Z

pg. 9) 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, there may not be a

Host PBS signal available in your area, or your cable box may not be set to the PBS channel. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. If you use a cable box ensure that your local PBS channel is selected on your cable box (

Z

ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUB-

SCRIBERS). 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 everything is connected and set correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (

Z

pg. 9). Auto channel set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable

Channels” procedure (

Z

pg. 10).

During Initial Auto Clock Set

"Auto" blinks.

During Auto Channel Set

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

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 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 Controller go to page 14.

The G-C ODE 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 G-C ODE 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 G-C ODE setup you must have performed the following procedures:

● Plug & Play (

● Clock setting ( cable box (

Z

Z

pg. 5)

Z

pg. 7) and Tuner setting (

pg. 13)

Z

pg. 10)

● Cable box setting if you receive your TV channels through a

Channel Number Matching

Most TV listings have a chart indicating the “Guide Channel” number assigned to each station for purposes of G-C ODE 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 G-C

ODE 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 “G-C ODE Timer

Programming” ( Z pg. 40).

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 “G-C ODE

Timer Programming” (

DBS Receiver

Control

Suggested Location

Place the DBS (Direct Broadcast DBS) receiver on top of the

VCR. Attach the VCR's Controller to the top of the VCR with the

Controller’s transmitter pointed towards the DBS receiver's remote sensor.

Attention:

The Controller can also control a cable box. If both a DBS receiver and a cable box are used, position the controller so its signal reaches the remote control sensors of both the DBS receiver and cable box.

About Your DBS Receiver

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

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

DBS Receiver.

This eliminates the need for a separate DBS Receiver Remote

Control Unit.

● 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 55. To set up the Controller go to page 19.


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

The VCR can control the DBS Receiver during timer recording using its Controller.

NOTES:

● The Controller can automatically change the DBS Receiver channels when the VCR has been programmed using On-

Screen Timer Programming (

Z

pg. 42).

Because DBS programming does not use G-CODE; the

Controller can not change the DBS Receiver channels during

G-C

ODE

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.

Situate And Connect Controller

SITUATE CONTROLLER

Place the Controller so that the path between its transmitter and the DBS receiver's remote sensor is unobstructed.

ATTACH CONTROLLER
