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.
n As an ENERGY STA R
®
Partner, JVC has determined that this
product or product model meets the ENERGY STAR

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.

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.

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
1
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
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.
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.
During Initial Auto Clock Set
"Auto" blinks.
During Auto Channel Set
The channel numbers are displayed
as they are scanned and set.
* If an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed" on next page.
Plug & Play Completed
The current time (including
AM/PM) is displayed.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
EN 9
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).

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. 46) or
Express Timer Programming (Z pg. 50).

. . . 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

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 61. To set up the Controller
go to page 17.

NOTES:
●
Although the supplied 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
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 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.
●
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

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 (
Z
pg. 50).
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.

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
1
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 (
Z
pg. 28) 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. 36).
START PLAYBACK
1
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 (
Z
pg. 36).
●
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 (
Z
pg. 29).
START RECORDING
1
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 (
Z
pg. 29).
Playback
The VCR assesses the quality of the tape once you start
playback.
Perform steps 1 and 2 on page 22 ("Simple Playback") before
continuing.

the forward and reverse search modes. Audio will be played back
at normal speed during any of the TimeScan modes (Z pg. 39).
TimeScan allows you to view a program in search mode while
listening to the audio.
NOTES:
●
"TIMESCAN AUDIO" must be set to "ON", or the sound will
not be heard in TimeScan mode (
Z
pg. 39).
●
The audio will not synchronize with the video in TimeScan
modes.
●
During 1.5x speed TimeScan the audio playback speed will
also be 1.5 times normal, so dialog will sound fast-talking.
●
In Pause mode 3 seconds (approx.) of audio will be played
back repeatedly. (
Z
pg. 24)
●
In TimeScan search modes some of the audio information will
not be played so that the audio can keep up with the video.

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
or CABLE CH number will be displayed on the VCR Plus+
Program screen (Z step 5 on page 47). 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+ 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.

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: 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: 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: 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:
●
Be sure to set "TAPE DUB MODE" back to "OFF" when you
finish editing.
●
When "TAPE DUB MODE" is set to "ON" Active Video
Calibration is deactivated in order to provide better picture
quality edits.
●
If you use an auxiliary input to connect a cable box or DBS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
PLAYBACK
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached
during playback or search?
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the still mode?
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect
the heads.
Q. During search, still and frame-by-frame playback,
the picture is intermittent. What’s the cause?
A. Picture loss occurs when these types of playback are
attempted with a tape recorded in LP mode. Pressing
PLAY to return to normal playback will restore the
picture.
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be
concerned about this?
A. No, it is normal.
Q. When playing back programs that have been timer-
recorded with consecutive times (such one program
from 8:00 to 9:00 and another one from 9:00 to
10:00), the picture and sound become momentarily
distorted at the point where the first program ends
and the second program begins. Is this a
malfunction?
A. No. This is normal.
Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect
does removing the safety tab have?
A. It disables marking of index codes.
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the VCR can’t find
the program I want to see. Why not?
A. There may be index codes too close together.
Q. During playback, on-screen operational indicators
sometimes jitter. Why does this happen?
A. If the condition of the tape being played back is not
good, jittering of the video (including on-screen
indicators) may occur.
RECORDING
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end
of the recording before the pause is overlapped by
the new recording. Why does this happen?
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and
resume points.
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-Pause
mode?
A. No. The VCR automatically goes to its Stop mode
after 5 minutes to protect the heads. When paused
during Instant Timer Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts
off automatically after 5 minutes.
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?
A. The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.
TIMER RECORDING
Q. REC and ‰ remain lit on the front display panel. Is
there a problem?
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording
in progress.
Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape
or a TV broadcast?
A. Yes, but while you are setting the timer you won't see
the tape's or broadcast program's picture as it is
replaced by the on-screen menu. The audio from the
tape or broadcast program will be present during the
setting of the timer.
