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.
**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.

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.

IMPORTANT
● Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote during
Dual Quick Set.
● If you perform Dual Quick Set successfully, there’s no need to perform the Clock (
Z
pg. 8) and Tuner (
Z
pg. 12) procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 14.
ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS
If you perform the Dual Quick 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 Dual Quick 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 Dual Quick Set successfully, D.S.T. will be set to “AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time (
Z
pg. 10), 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 6 of
Semi-Auto procedure ( Z pg. 9) or step 3 of Manual procedure (
Z
pg. 11).
With the antenna cable connected the Dual Quick Set function allows the clock and tuner to be set automatically when the power plug is first connected to an AC outlet.
7
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.
The auto clock set function scans all the channels received by your VCR to find the clock setting data of the Host Channel.
The auto channel set function scans all the channels received by your VCR, then automatically assigns receivable channels to the CH
5∞ buttons, and skips non-receivable channels.
1
PERFORM DUAL QUICK SET
Make sure that the antenna cable is connected to the
VCR. Then connect the VCR’s power plug to an AC outlet. For connection configuration, refer to “Basic
Connections” (
Z
pg. 6). The clock and tuner channels will automatically be set.
● Auto clock set is performed first. AUTO is displayed on the Front Display Panel during Auto clock set.
Auto Channel set is performed next. The channel numbers are displayed in ascending order during auto channel set. When Dual Quick Set has been completed successfully the correct time is displayed.
● The clock can 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.)
● 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 procedure (
Z
pg. 9).
Auto channel set ( Z pg. 12) 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. If everything is connected and set correctly, perform the Manual
Clock Set procedure (
Z
pg. 11). Auto channel set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set
Receivable Channels” procedure (

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 48.

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
101, 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.
● If you are unable to set the Cable Box Controller, please contact JVC toll free at 1-800-252-5722.

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:
● Dual Quick setting ( Z
pg. 7)
or
Clock setting (
Tuner setting (
Z
pg. 8)
Z pg. 12)
● Tuner and cable box setting if you receive your TV channels through a cable box ( Z pg. 15)
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. 37).
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 timer recording on those stations is not important to you, you can go directly to “VCR
Plus+ Timer Programming” ( Z pg. 37).
