Situate VCR
Place the VCR on a stable, horizontal surface.
Connect VCR to TV
The following connections are required.
RF Connection
Disconnect the TV antenna from the TV.
Connect the TV antenna cable to the
ANTENNA IN terminal on the rear of the VCR.
Connect the supplied RF cable between the TV
OUT terminal on the rear of the VCR and the
TVs antenna input terminal.
AV Connection (improves picture quality during
tape playback.)
If your TV is equipped with audio/video input
connectors
Connect the antenna, VCR and TV as shown in
the illustration.
Connect an audio/video cable between the
AUDIO/VIDEO OUT connectors on the rear of
the VCR and the audio/video input connectors
on the TV.
S-video Connection (allows you to make the
most of the S-VHS picture performance.)
If your TV is equipped with an S-video input
connector
Perform RF Connection and RED/WHITE
AUDIO connections.
Connect an S-video cable between the S VIDEO
OUT connector on the rear of the VCR and the
S-video input connector on the TV.
Connect VCR to power source
Connect the AC power plug to an AC outlet.
The clock and tuner channels will
automatically be set when the antenna is
connected and when the AC power cord is first
connected to an AC power outlet ( pg. 8).
(If Auto or CH is displayed on the front display
panel before the VCR is turned on, the clock and
tuner channels are being set automatically. Wait
until the clock time is displayed on the front display
panel before turning on the VCR.)
Final preparation for use
Turn on the VCR and set the CH3-CH4 switch on the
rear (shown below) to either CH3 or CH4 correctly.
The CH3CH4 switch is preset to the CH3
position.
Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your
area. (To view the picture from this VCR through
this channel, select the same channel on the TV
with the CH3CH4 switch setting on the VCR.)
You can now perform basic playback ( pg.
23) or basic recording ( pg. 28).
NOTES:
The VCR channel is the channel on which you can watch the
picture from the VCR on the TV when only using the RF
connection. The VCRs CH3-CH4 switch, on the back of the
VCR, sets the VCR channel to CH3 or CH4.
Even if you are using audio/video cables to connect your VCR
to your TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This
will ensure that you can record one show while watching
another (
pg. 31).

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 ( pg. 11) or
Manual Clock Set ( 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 ( pg. 12)
and Auto Channel Set or Manual Channel Set ( pg. 13 or 14).
INITIAL SETTINGS
Plug & Play
Setting
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.
Perform Plug & Play setup
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR ( 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 (
pg. 10) and tuner (
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.
ATTENTION
If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set
the clock and tuner channels separately. ( 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.

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

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

CABLE
BOX
The following 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 broadcasts that have
been programmed using VCR Plus+ system ( pg. 38) or
Express timer programing ( pg. 42).
Installing Controller
Situate Controller
Place the Controller so that its transmitter is
facing the cable boxs remote sensor.
Make sure the path between the Controller and
the cable boxs remote sensor is not blocked.
Attach Controller
Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on
the back of the Controller.
Connect cable box to VCR
If your cable box does not have audio/video
output connectors
Connect the RF output terminal on the cable
box to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the rear of
your VCR.
If your cable box has audio/video output
connectors
Connect an audio/video cable between the
AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors on the rear of
the VCR and the audio/video output connectors
on the cable box.
NOTE:
When connecting your cable box, refer to its instruction
manual.
Connect Controller to VCR
Connect the Controller to the CABLE BOX
Controller connector on the rear panel.
Cable Box
Control
Setting
Suggested location
Place the cable box on top of the VCR. Attach the VCRs
Controller to the top of the VCR with the Controllers
transmitter pointed towards the cable boxs 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 sensors on both the cable box and
DBS receiver.
How to control the cable box
This VCR has two separate methods to control your cable
box.
The VCRs wireless Remote can control your cable box.
This eliminates the need for a separate cable boxs
Remote.
The VCRs Controller can also control your cable box.
This allows the VCR to change your cable boxs channel
number during timer recording.
Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCRs
Remote, refer to page 71. To set up the Controller, go to
page 17.

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)
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 receivers channels during timer recording.
NOTES:
The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver
channels using the Controller when the VCR has been
programed using Express timer programing (
pg. 42).
Because satellite programing does not use PlusCode, the
Controller cannot change the DBS receiver channels during
VCR Plus+ timer recording.
(You can also use Satellite Auto Recording (
pg. 61) if
your DBS receiver is equipped with a timer.)
If a cable box is also used, it is recommended that you connect
the DBS receiver to your VCRs audio/video input connectors
and the cable box to your VCRs antenna input terminal.

Picture may be distorted at the position where the recording speed is switched or when you change the search speed.
During high-speed picture search on a tape containing both SP and EP recordings, the search speed will change automatically
to 7x normal playback speed when the recording tape speed switches from EP to SP.
Depending on the tape in use, noise may appear or the upper part of the picture may be distorted.
Picture may appear distorted in comparison to normal playback.
In TimeScan mode there will be a time lag between the video and the audio, and noise may appear in the audio signal.
TimeScan sound quality will differ in comparison to normal playback.
When material such as music videos where there is non-stop sound (very few breaks in the soundtrack) are viewed at 2x
normal speed, the audio playback may be faster than normal.
When the playback direction is reversed, it takes approximately 6 seconds until sound is heard.
±1/3x slow motion playback is possible with SP recordings only.
Sound may not be clear during forward slow motion playback.
Noise may not be reduced completely during Pro Slow. When this happens, try manual tracking (
pg. 25).
If you do not want to hear sounds during picture search with the TimeScan function, set TIMESCAN
AUDIO to OFF. ( pg. 60).
How to use the SHUTTLE ring on the Remote
1 Press JOG/SHUTTLE so that the JOG/SHUTTLE
lamp lights.
2 Turn the SHUTTLE ring fully to the right or to the
left. When you release the ring, a still picture
appears.
If you turn the ring fully and release it within 1
second, picture search continues.
NOTE:
The operations by the SHUTTLE ring on the Remote do not
activate the TimeScan function; noise will appear on the
screen and audio will not be output.

Sounds reproduced by the TimeScan function
The sounds reproduced by the TimeScan function do not
synchronize with pictures played back on the TV screen, becomes
monaural, and differ from the ones you hear during normal
playback.
During picture search, the TimeScan function skips sounds
intermittently to keep up with the pictures played back (except 1.5x
picture search).
During 1.5x picture search, all audio signals are reproduced (the
audio playback speed will be 1.5 times normal speed).
Sound of 1, 3 and 5 is heard.
Sound of 2 and 4 is not heard.

Timer
Programing
Turn on the VCR and the TV, and select the VCR
channel 3 or 4 (or AV mode) on the TV.

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.)

cover the hole with adhesive tape, then load it
into the VCR.
The VCR turns on, and the counter is reset,
automatically.

Changing VCR Plus+
®
Setting)
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 VCRs memory for the Video Navigation
function is full (
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.

Setting
Turn on the VCR and the TV, and select the VCR

IMPORTANT
If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting
stations channel number has been changed, the wrong
VCR CH or CABLE CH number will be displayed on the
Program screen ( step 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.

memory, make sure the VCRs clock is set correctly before
recording.
To record the program information in this VCRs 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 VCRs 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.

* 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.
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 (
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, 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
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.
When this function is set to ON, edge correction to the luminance
signal is performed to enhance details. Normally set this function to
ON.
NOTES:
Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with
DIGITAL R3 set to OFF.
If you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing, be sure to set DIGITAL
R3 to OFF before starting.
When this function is set to ON, you can automatically correct vertical
vibrations in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on
another VCR.
NOTES:
When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to OFF.
Regardless of the setting, this function has no effect during recording and during
special effects playback.
The on-screen display may jitter vertically when this function is set to ON.
To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to OFF.

* The default setting is bold in the table below.
This VCR can record two sound tracks simultaneously (normal and Hi-
Fi) on a 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.
If RF connection (
pg. 7) is used for viewing pictures on the TV, sound will be
monaural even though you select HI-FI.
You can also use the
A. MONITOR
button on the Remote to select the desired
monitor sound. (
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 (
pg. 31).
The REMOTE PAUSE/AV COMPULINK terminal on the rear panel can be used
as either the REMOTE PAUSE terminal or the AV COMPULINK terminal.
When this function is set to ON, you can use this terminal as the AV
COMPULINK terminal.
By connecting other JVCs AV COMPULINK components (see the
diagram on the next page), including amplifiers (or receivers) and
televisions, one touch control of the audio and video components linked
via their AV COMPULINK connectors becomes possible.
For example: simply load a cassette in the VCR and press PLAY ( 3 ) so that
the AV COMPULINK components automatically turn on, the TVs AV mode is
selected and the VCR starts playback. (You do not have to press PLAY ( 3 ) if
the cassettes record safety tab is removed.)
When this function is set to OFF, you can use this terminal as the
REMOTE PAUSE terminal. ( pg. 65)
NOTE:
Connection varies depending on the type of JVC TV you have. Refer to the TVs
instruction manual when making this connection.

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.
