5. Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.

To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

• Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

• Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

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.

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

Setting

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

ATTENTION

● If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately. ( 墌 pg.10 – 15)

●

It takes several minutes for the VCR to complete the Plug

& Play setting.

● Do not press any buttons on the front panel or on the

Remote while Plug & Play is in progress.

INITIAL SETTINGS

This VCR sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play setting.

The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from 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

Perform Plug & Play setup

Connect the antenna cable to the VCR ( 墌 pg.

6). Then connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR.

The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.

NOTES:

● Auto Clock Set is performed first.

“Auto” blinks on the front display panel during Auto

Clock Set.

● Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel

Set scans all the channels that are receivable by your

VCR. During Auto Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

● When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no need to perform the clock ( 墌 pg. 10) and tuner ( 墌 pg.

13) settings. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, and use the ghost reduction function, refer to

Manual Channel Set on pages 14 and 15.

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 clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.

INFORMATION

● If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” on the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data.

(This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours — on the time displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.)

The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”.

● If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be performed when power is restored to the VCR.

● Poor antenna or cable signal may prevent the VCR from receiving the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set procedure.

What to do if Plug & Play setting 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 Semiauto (

墌

pg. 11) or

Manual Clock Set (

墌

pg. 12) procedure.

● If “- -:- -” appears on the front display panel, 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 turn on and off the VCR; the Plug

& Play setting will be automatically reactivated.

If Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform Manual Clock Set (

墌

pg. 12) and Auto Channel Set or Manual Channel Set ( 墌 pg. 13 or 14).

What is a “ghost”?

Double images of a TV program, or a “ghost”, is a common problem with TV reception in urban areas. A broadcasting signal, reflected from some surfaces (building, mountain, etc.), arrives slightly later than the signals arriving directly from the TV station. This causes such ghosts as follows:

– Double images

– Faint images

– Distorted images

– Distorted colors

– Vertically jittered images

Setting ghost reduction

This VCR is equipped with the ghost reduction function.

It reduces the ghosts using a GCR (Ghost Canceller

Reference) signal sent from a TV station. The ghost reduction mode can be set for each channel independently and manually.

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 function is activated.

TIMER RECORDING

Timer recording allows you to program the VCR to automatically record a broadcast at some future time.

Up to 8 timer recording programs can be made using

VCR Plus+ timer programing or Express timer programing method ( 墌 pg. 42) as far as a year in advance.

The VCR Plus+ timer programing system eliminates the need to input channel, date, start and stop time data when programing timer recording settings. Simply key in the PlusCode number for the TV broadcast you wish to record and the VCR’s timer will be automatically programed. (The PlusCode programing numbers are the numbers next to the program in most TV listing.)

NOTES:

●

Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer programs. However, the clock time, channel settings, and other menu settings are lost if it lasts for more than 3 minutes.

As a result, when the power is supplied again to this VCR after the power failure, the following will take place.

1. This VCR starts the Plug & Play setting automatically to restore the clock time and channel setting.

2. If the clock time and channel setting are restored correctly, each timer program you have made will start at its start time unless its end time has elapsed.

●

To timer-record cable channels received through a cable box, be sure to keep the cable box turned on.

●

If “MEMORY FULL” appears on the display when you finish a program setting, the VCR’s memory for the Video Navigation function is full ( 墌 pg. 46). This is not related to actual recording, so you can finish recording normally, but the Video

Navigation information such as recording date, start time, end time, and channel number will not be stored in memory.

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 CH or CABLE CH number will be displayed on the

Program screen ( 墌 step 5 on page 39). When this happens, perform the following steps to set the correct 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. Read the following information carefully.

VCR Plus+ guide channel matching

The VCR Plus+ programing system assigns a VCR Plus+ guide channel to the TV channels and the cable 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+ programing, 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 TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

● Video Navigation playback is possible only with the tape recorded on this VCR.

● To record the date and time as the program title in this VCR's memory, make sure the VCR’s clock is set correctly before recording.

● To record the program information in this VCR’s memory, you must record each program for over the minimum recording time; 5 min for the SP mode and 15 min for EP mode.

● Video Navigation may not work properly for some tapes.

● If the VCR finds two tape numbers in one tape while playing back or searching for the beginning of a program, the tape will be assigned just one number (smaller number) when you remove the tape.

● The program information is stored in this VCR’s memory.

Should the memory in this VCR be damaged and the program information be lost, it is impossible to restore that information.

● After recording a tape on this VCR, write the tape number on a label and affix the label to the tape in order to allow you to find the tape by its number.

VIDEO NAVIGATION (cont.)

When you record a TV program on this VCR, the VCR automatically records the recording start time, date, and channel in each program title. If the tape is recorded for the first time, the tape number and the date and time are recorded in the tape title. You can then edit the tape title and the program titles as you like. You can also edit the category in the program title.

In short, you can use the Video Navigation function to create your own video tape library.

VIDEO CALIBRATION

ON

OFF

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

When this function is set to “ON”, this VCR checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible pictures. This takes place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after inserting a tape.

NOTES:

● During playback, this function is always working even though “VIDEO

CALIBRATION” appears just at the beginning of automatic tracking.

● During recording, this function works only for the first EP recording and the first

SP recording on an inserted tape.

For timer recording, this function checks the tape condition both for the SP recording and the EP recording before the first timer recording starts.

● When you play back rental tapes or tapes recorded on other VCRs, set this function either “ON” or “OFF” whichever gives you the best picture.

䡵

PICTURE CONTROL

AUTO (NORM): Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted automatically.

When “VIDEO

CALIBRATION” is “OFF”,

“NORM” will appear instead of “AUTO”.

EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing

(recording and playback).

SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes containing much noise.

SHARP: Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with much flat, same-colored surfaces such as cartoons.

This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your preference.

NOTES:

● When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not change until you select again.

●

Select “EDIT” when you are editing tapes (

墌

pg. 65, 66, and 69). After you finish editing the tapes, select “AUTO” (“NORM” when “VIDEO

CALIBRATION” is “OFF”.)

● When this function is set to “ON”:

The timer recording standby mode is automatically engaged when the

VCR is turned off. It is temporarily canceled when the VCR is turned on. You do not have to press TIMER to engage or disengage the timer recording standby mode.

● When this function is set to “OFF”:

You have to press TIMER to engage or disengage the timer recording standby mode.

When this function is set to “ON”, various VCR status information (onscreen display) appears on the screen.

NOTES:

● When you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing a tape, be sure to set this function to “OFF”; otherwise, the VCR status information (on-screen display) will be recorded on the edited tape.

● If you select a channel on which no signal is received, the channel number is displayed regardless of this function setting.

OTHER USEFUL FUNCTIONS (cont.)


When this function is set to “ON”, the VCR automatically switches to EP mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire program while timer-recording in SP mode.

For Example . . .

Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-minute tape

Approximately 110 minutes

SP mode

Approximately 30 minutes

EP mode

Make sure you set this function to “ON” before the timer-recording starts.

NOTES:

● If you have programed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second program and those thereafter may not fit on the tape with this function set to

“ON”. In this case, do not use this function, but change the tape speed manually during timer programing.

● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this function may leave a slight non-recorded portion at the end of the tape.

● There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the tape speed switches from SP to EP mode on the tape.

● This function is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and will not work properly on the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-

120.

This VCR can record two sound tracks simultaneously (normal and Hi-

Fi) on a Hi-Fi stereo tape.

You can select the sound track(s) to listen to while playing back a Hi-Fi stereo tape.

In addition, when playing back a prerecorded tape containing two separate audio programs on the Hi-Fi tracks, you can choose either one by selecting either “HI-FI L” or “HI-FI R”.

NOTES:

● While playing back a monaural tape, sounds on the normal track will be heard regardless of this setting.

● You can also use the A. MONITOR button on the Remote to select the desired monitor sound. ( 墌 pg. 25)

You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode or VHS mode — is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.

When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on S-VHS tapes with

S-VHS picture quality.

When this function is set to “OFF”, you can record on S-VHS tapes with

VHS picture quality.

NOTES:

• S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings with horizontal resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230 lines of resolution of conventional VHS recordings. To achieve the highest quality picture we recommend to record in S-VHS mode. (But remember that a conventional VHS

VCR without SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.)

• S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes. Recording on

VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode except when using S-VHS ET mode ( 墌 pg. 31).

Various connection for editing tapes

The following three methods can be used for editing tapes.

●

VHS to S-VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection) :

Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the original VHS quality, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

●

S-VHS to VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection) :

Since the original source is recorded in S-VHS mode, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by

VHS-to-VHS editing.

● S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection) : Original picture quality of S-VHS made can be duplicated with minimal picture degradation. This is the best editing method you can use on S-VHS VCRs.

This Remote is capable of transmitting two control codes; one set to respond to A code control signals and another set to respond to B code control signals.

This Remote control is preset to send A code signals because your VCR is initially set to respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your VCR and the Remote to respond to B code signals.

When using two JVC VCRs, set two VCRs and their

Remotes to different codes, so that you can operate these

VCRs separately.

5

Turn on VCR

Press POWER on the Remote.

● The VCR now responds to B code control signals.

● To set the Remote and the VCR back to A code control signals, repeat the same procedure as shown above except pressing the Number key

“ 1 ” in step 3 .

To control two VCRs with the same Remote

You can control two JVC VCRs by switching the remote control code for the Remote between A and B ( 墌 step

3 ), keeping two VCRs to different control codes.

● Press the Number key “ 1 ” for A code control signals and the Number key “ 2 ” for B code control signals. (To change only the remote control code for the Remote,

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 turned on for a few hours to evaporate the moisture 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.

ATTENTION

This VCR contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference can cause microcomputer to malfunction. If the

VCR does not operate correctly switch its power off and unplug the AC power cord from the AC supply. Wait for a while and then plug the power back in. Eject and check the condition of the cassette. If everything appears normal, you can operate the

VCR as usual.
