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

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.

CAUTION:

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE

BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

ATTENTION:

POUR ÉVITER LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE

LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE

CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER

JUSQU'AU FOND.

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.

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 condensa-

tion 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 inter-

rupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such

troubles occur.

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.

CAUTION:

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void

user's authority to operate the equipment.

n Cassettes marked "S-VHS" and "VHS" can be used with this

video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recordings are

possible only with cassettes marked "S-VHS".

By using S-VHS ET it is possible to record and play back with

S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes with this VCR.

Partner, JVC has determined that this

product or product model meets the ENERGY STAR

guidelines

for energy efficiency.

IMPORTANT PRODUCT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But

improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire

hazards. This product has been engineered and manufactured

to assure your personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in

safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installation,

use and servicing.

ATTENTION:

Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your

product and its operating instructions. For your safety, please

read all the safety and operating instructions before you operate

this product and keep this booklet for future reference.

INSTALLATION

1. Grounding or Polarization

(A) Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-

current 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.

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.

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.

●

If you have a TV with S-VIDEO input terminals, see

"S-VIDEO Connection" on page 7.

CONNECT VCR TO

POWER SOURCE

Connect the power plug to an AC outlet.

● The clock and tuner channels will automatically be

set when the antenna is connected and when the AC

is first connected to the VCR (Z pg. 8).

(If "Auto" or "CH" is displayed on the front display

panel before the VCR is powered on, the clock and

tuner channels are being set automatically. Wait for

the time to be displayed on the front display panel

before powering on the VCR.)

FINAL PREPARATION FOR

USE

Power on the VCR and if you are connected to the TV

using the RF connector, select the VCR channel (3 or 4)

by setting the switch on the rear of the VCR as shown in

the illustration.

You can now perform simple playback (Z pg. 22) or

simple recording (Z pg. 23).

NOTES:

●

The VCR channel is the channel on the TV which will display

the audio and video signals from the VCR. The VCR's CH3-

CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to

CH3 or CH4.

●

The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3 position.

Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area and

set the channel on the TV to correspond to the VCR's CH3–

CH4 switch setting.

INITIAL SETTINGS

Plug & Play

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.

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

∞

(+/–) 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.

ATTENTION

If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set

the clock and tuner channels manually. (Z pg.11 – 15)

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

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. 11) and Tuner (Z pg. 14)

procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete

channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 15.

INFORMATION

● If "AUTO CLOCK" is set to "ON" at the Clock Set screen on page 12, 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. 12) or

Manual Clock Set (Z pg. 13) 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 (Z pg. 13). Auto channel set

has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure (Z pg. 14).

CABLE

BOX

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)

This procedure is required if you receive your TV channels

through a cable box (descrambler). The Controller allows the

VCR to automatically switch the cable box channel during

timer-recording. The Controller is effective for recording shows

that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (Z pg. 45) or

Express Timer Programming (Z pg. 49).

Cable Box

Control

Situate And Connect

Controller

SITUATE CONTROLLER

Place the Controller so that the path between its

transmitter and the cable box’s remote sensor is

unobstructed.

ATTACH CONTROLLER

Fasten securely using the supplied adhesive strip.

CONNECT CABLE BOX TO

VCR

The connection method depends on the type of cable

box you have.

If your cable box has AUDIO and VIDEO OUT

connectors . . .

. . . connect them to the AUDIO and VIDEO IN

connectors on your VCR. Set the VCR to channel "L-1"

for the rear AUDIO and VIDEO IN connectors, or

channel "F-1" for the front AUDIO and VIDEO IN

connectors to use the cable box.

If your cable box doesn’t have AUDIO and VIDEO

OUT connectors . . .

. . . connect the antenna output connector on the cable

box to the ANTENNA IN connector on the rear of your

VCR.

Set the VCR tuner to the same channel as the cable box

RF output (see page 17 also).

NOTE:

When connecting your cable box refer to its instruction

manual.

CONNECT CONTROLLER

TO VCR

Connect to the CABLE BOX connector on your VCR.

Suggested Location

Place the cable box on top of the VCR. Attach the VCR's

Controller to the top of the VCR with the Controller’s transmitter

pointed towards the cable box’s remote sensor.

ATTENTION:

The Controller can also control a DBS receiver. If both a cable

box and a DBS receiver are used, position the controller so its

signal reaches the remote control sensors of both the cable box

and DBS receiver.

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 62. To set up the Controller

go to page 17.

with your cable box.

●

If your cable box doesn’t respond to any code between 1 and 25,

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 compat-

ible 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.

●

For customers in U.S.A.: If you are unable to set the

Controller, please contact JVC toll free at 1-800-252-5722.

When the VCR's clock has not been set (with AUTO

CLOCK set to ON), if you press OK in step 7, "CABLE BOX

CABLE

BOX

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 (

pg. 49).

Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the

Controller can not 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.

Situate And Connect

Controller

DBS Receiver

Control

Suggested Location

Place the DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) 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 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 63. To set up the Controller

go to page 20.

Digital TBC/NR

Your VCR is equipped with the Digital TBC (Time Base

Corrector) that removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to

deliver a stable picture even with old tapes and rental cassettes.

The on/off of Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise

and enables clear picture reproduction is also linked to this

function.

* The default setting is "ON".

We recommend that you use the Digital TBC feature when...

... playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.

... playing back a tape repeatedly used.

... using this VCR as the player for editing.

SELECT DIGITAL TBC/NR

SET MODE

Press DIGITAL TBC/NR so that the button lights up.

● Pressing the button again turns off this function.

NOTES:

●

If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception

condition, there may be cases where the picture becomes

more stable with Digital TBC/NR set to off.

●

When Digital TBC/NR is set to on, if you play back a tape

where certain types of signals are recorded (using a PC or

some character generators), the playback picture may be

distorted. If this is the case, turn off Digital TBC/NR.

●

Digital TBC/NR and Video Stabilizer (

pg. 27) cannot be

used at the same time; if you turn on Digital TBC/NR when

"VIDEO STABILIZER" is set to "ON", Video Stabilizer will be

automatically turned "OFF". Make sure Digital TBC/NR is off

Recording

Perform steps 1 – 3 on page 23 ("Simple Recording") before

continuing.

ATTENTION

n As calibration takes place before recording actually starts,

there is a delay of about 7 seconds after REC and PLAY on

the remote, or REC on the VCR's front panel, are pressed.

To make sure you record the desired scene or program

completely, first perform the following steps:

1) Press and hold PAUSE, and press REC to engage the

RECORD PAUSE mode.

● The VCR then automatically checks the condition of

the tape and, after about 7 seconds, re-enters

RECORD PAUSE.

2) Press PLAY to start recording.

n If you want to bypass Video Calibration and start

recording right away, set "VIDEO CALIBRATION" to

"OFF" in step 4 of the Preparation procedure (Z pg. 38).

START PLAYBACK

Press PLAY.

● The VCR adjusts the

playback picture quality

based on the quality of

the tape in use.

NOTES:

●

When using rental tapes,

or tapes recorded on other VCRs, set “VIDEO

CALIBRATION” in step 4 of the Preparation proce-

dure to either “ON” or “OFF” as desired to give the

best picture (

pg. 38).

●

The Video Calibration screen only appears at the

beginning of automatic tracking. Even though the

screen doesn't appear after that, the Video calibration

function is operative.

●

To display the Video Calibration screen, “SUPERIM-

POSE” must be set to "ON" or the Video Calibration

screen will not appear (

pg. 29).

START RECORDING

Press and hold REC and

press PLAY on the remote

control, or press REC on

the VCR's front panel.

● The VCR takes about 7

seconds to assess the

quality of the tape in

use, then recording

begins with the picture

level optimized.

NOTES:

●

Calibration occurs

immediately prior to

both the first SP and the

first EP recording after

inserting the cassette. It

does not take place

during recording.

●

In the case of timer

recording, calibration

takes place for both SP and EP before the first timer

recording after inserting the cassette (regardless of the

tape speed selected for that recording).

●

Once the cassette is ejected, the calibration data is

canceled. The next time the cassette is used for

recording, calibration is re-performed.

●

While Video Calibration is operative, the PAUSE

button will not function.

●

To display the Video Calibration screen, "SUPERIM-

POSE" must be set to "ON" or the Video Calibration

screen will not appear (

pg. 29).

Playback

The VCR assesses the quality of the tape once you start

playback.

●

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, TIME SCAN SEARCH 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 (

pg. 38).

●

During S-VHS ET playback, noise may appear depending on tape quality.

●

Noise may appear during still, frame- by-frame, slow-motion playback and TIME SCAN SEARCH.

Setup

Turn on the TV and select the VCR channel 3 or 4 (or AV

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 46). 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.

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.

●

The Active Video Calibration (

●

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 (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): 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 (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.

S-Video cable

NOTES:

●

If you use an auxiliary input to connect a cable box or DBS

receiver, make sure that the correct AUX INPUT ("VIDEO" or

"S-VIDEO") is selected after you have finished editing (
