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 (Z pg. 11) or Manual Clock Set (Z 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 (Z pg. 12) and Auto Channel Set or Manual Channel Set (Z 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 (Z pg. 7). 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 (Z pg. 10) and tuner (Z␣ pg.␣ 13) settings. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, and use the ghost reduction function, refer to Manual Channel Set on page 14.

ATTENTION

● If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately. (Z pg.10 – 14)

● 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.

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+ (Z pg. 34) or Express timer programing (Z pg. 38).

Installing Controller

Situate Controller

Place the Controller so that its transmitter is facing the cable box’s remote sensor.

● Make sure the path between the Controller and

the cable box’s 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 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 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 VCR’s wireless Remote can control your cable box. This eliminates the need for a separate cable box’s Remote.

● 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, refer to page 67. To set up the Controller, go to page 16.

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 receiver’s 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 (Z pg. 38). 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” (Z pg. 60) 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 VCR’s audio/video input connectors and the cable box to your VCR’s antenna input terminal.

●

If your DBS receiver 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 DBS receiver.

NOTE:

When connecting your DBS receiver, refer to its instruction manual.

Connect Controller to VCR

Connect the Controller to the CABLE BOX Controller connector on the rear panel.

DBS Receiver Control Setting

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.

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.

Other Useful functions for timer recording

You can also use the following functions for timer recording.

● Auto Timer (Z pg. 56)

When “AUTO TIMER” 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.

● Auto SP = EP Timer (S-VHS/VHS only) (Z pg. 56)

If there is not enough tape to record the entire broadcast for recording in SP mode, the VCR automatically switches to EP mode to allow complete recording. This feature is especially handy when recording a broadcast of more than 2 hours in length.

ATTENTION

If there is a conflict in the timer schedule and one program overlaps with another, only the parts shown below in gray will be recorded.

Pattern 1: The program with the lower program

number will be recorded.

Pattern 2: The program starting earlier will be

recorded.

Pattern 3: The program starting earlier will be

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 “V, 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.

What is “i.LINK?”

“i.LINK” is a digital serial interface that allows devices equipped with an i.LINK connector to exchange digital video signals, digital audio signals, and device control signals bi-directionally over a single cable.

i.Link refers to the IEEE1394-1995 industry specification and extensions thereof. The logo is used for products compliant with the i.Link standard.

This VCR uses a four-pin i.LINK connector to input and output MPEG2 video signals, audio signals, and control signals. The i.LINK connector is also used as an input for DV compressed signals from the DV output of a digital video camera.

i.LINK Connection

i.LINK-compatible devices can be connected in daisy chain fashion using i.LINK cables.

Any two devices in the daisy chain can exchange data bi-directionally, even if there are other devices connected between them. i.LINK also supports a “repeater function” that passes input MPEG2 and DV signals through to the next device in the chain.

i.LINK Branched Connection

If you are connecting a device that is equipped with three or more i.LINK connectors, you can also branch the i.LINK connection.

NOTE:

●

You can connect as many as 63 devices (including this VCR) through an i.LINK connection. If you use a branched i.LINK connection, however, the maximum path length on a branch is 17 devices.

●

In the case of a personal computer and some other devices, data is not passed along by those devices if the device power is off. Furthermore, data is not passed along by this VCR when “FRONT DISPLAY” is set to “OFF” on this VCR (Z pg. 56). For details, refer to the instruction manual for the connected device.

●

The maximum data transfer speed supported by the i.LINK connector on this VCR is 200Mbps (approximately 200 megabits per

second). The maximum data transfer speed that is actually attained may be slower depending on how this VCR is used or if a device with a slower transfer speed is connected to this VCR.

i.LINK Connection Examples

Examples of good i.LINK connections and bad i.LINK connections are shown below. The digital signals flow to all connected devices. When connecting i.LINK devices, make sure that the devices are connected in such a way that digital signals do not return (loop back) to the device that output them. Looped connection is not permitted.

OTHER USEFUL FUNCTIONS (cont.)

NOTES:

●

While the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode or after Satellite Auto Recording is finished, the VCR will not enter the timer recording standby mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON”. (Z pg. 56)

●

If you turn off this VCR while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress, recording stops.

●

Video Calibration (Z pg. 53) does not work while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.

●

Auto Clock (Z pg. 11) does not work while in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.

●

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 when Satellite Auto Recording method is used.

●

If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode while the DBS receiver is turned on, the VCR will not start Satellite Auto Recording, and “Err L-1” appears on the front display panel. When you turn off the DBS receiver, “L-1” appears instead of “Err L-1” and the VCR enters the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.

●

If you have connected another component other than a DBS receiver (or cable box) to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors, be sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the connected component is turned on.

●

Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be performed at the same time.

●

If the “L-1” blinks quickly on the front display panel in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode (even though your DBS receiver is turned off), Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” (Z pg. 38) to timer-record a satellite program. (Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.)

This function allows you to automatically record a satellite program which is timer-programed on your DBS receiver.

Preparation: Connect a DBS receiver to the AUDIO/ VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors* on the rear; otherwise, you cannot use this function.

• You can also connect the cable box if it has a timer.

To use these connectors, you have to select which one to use

(Z pg. 55).

TROUBLESHOOTING (cont.)

VIDEO NAVIGATION

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Tape information cannot be shown if it has not been recorded on this VCR.

Video Navigation cannot work correctly on a tape if it has more than one tape number. If this happens, fastforward the tape up to its end, eject it, and try it again.

Check the remaining memory (Z␣ pg.␣ 51). If it is full, delete unnecessary Video Navigation information. (Z pg. 50, 51).

SYMPTOM

1. Tape infomation screen does not appear for the currently inserted tape.

2. The VCR cannot search for the correct program.

3. “MEMORY FULL” appears on the screen when you try to start recording.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

● The current tape inserted has not been recorded on this VCR.

● Two (or more) tape numbers are recorded on one tape.

● The VCR’s memory for Video Navigation is fully recorded.

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.

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.
