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. (

墌

pg.10 – 14)

JOG

SHATTLE

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 (

墌

pg. 10) and Tuner (

墌

pg. 13) set 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 (

墌

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" on next page.

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" on next page.

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 ( 墌 pg. 11) or

Manual Clock Set (

墌

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 (

墌

pg. 12). Auto channel set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure (

墌

pg. 13).

Last-Function Memory

When the AC is removed from the VCR or when the power failure occurs, your settings for the following functions are kept in memory. These settings will resume when the VCR is turned on again.

a- Input Selection (channel or auxiliary input; L-1 or F-1)

b- Returning Position ( 墌 pg. 28)

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

Controller during timer recording.

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

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 the VCR's memory backup expires because of a power failure, set the cable box output channel and brand again.

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

● 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 58. 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 (

墌

pg. 42).

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.

● Noise may appear during still frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback.

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

The 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.

Automatic Satellite Program

Recording

This facility allows you to automatically record a satellite program which is timer-programmed on your external satellite receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to the VCR's rear AUDIO/

VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN* (L-1) connectors and program the timer on the satellite receiver; the VCR starts recording when the signals input from the satellite receiver to the rear AUDIO/VIDEO

IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors, and when there is no input signals the VCR stops recording and the power shuts off.

* If you have connected the satellite receiver to the VCR's

S VIDEO IN connector, set "REAR AUX INPUT" to "S-VIDEO" at the Function screen ( 墌 pg. 54 – 55).

Before performing the following steps:

● Program the timer on the satellite receiver.

● Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place.

● If you have connected another appliance other than a satellite receiver to the rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S

VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors, be sure not to engage the

Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the connected appliance's power is turned on.

● 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".

Advantages Of S-VHS Editing

S-VHS allows you to 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 (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Record

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

● From S-VHS to VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): 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 (S-VIDEO connection): 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.

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.

**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.
