How To Use This Instruction Manual

This instruction manual begins with an introductory section, "Getting To Know Your VCR", followed by the necessary set-up procedures in "Setting Up Your VCR". The next five sections —"Playback", "Recording", "TimerRecording with VCR Plus+", "Timer-Recording without VCR Plus+" and "Special Features" — take you step-bystep through these operations of your VCR. "Editing" introduces you to your VCR's editing features. "If You Have Any Questions" is the section you should refer to if you experience any problems in VCR operation or if you need additional information regarding a feature or terminology. At the end of the book you will find "Warranty" information and the locations you can contact "For Servicing".

Throughout the book, if you ever need to refer to another page for instructions or information, you will be told so by a Z mark pointing to the page number.

Unless otherwise specified, operation buttons mentioned in the instructions refer to those located on the remote control, not those duplicated on the VCR.

Remember, you must use your VCR correctly to fully enjoy it. Please use this manual effectively. It's the surest and quickest way to unlock the full potential of your new JVC VCR.

Setting your VCR's tuner and Cable Box Controller

Follow these steps if you use an external Cable Box (descrambler) to receive cable stations. When properly set-up, the Multi-System Cable Box Controller will automatically switch channels on your Cable Box so you can timer-record two or more cable TV stations. It works for Cable TV shows that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (Z p. 26) or On-Screen (Z p. 28) programming.

Suggested Locations

Attach to top of VCR with Controller's transmitter pointed towards Cable Box's remote sensor window.

COMPARE CHANNEL NUMBERS

Most TV listings will have a chart indicating the "Guide Channel" number that each TV station has been assigned for purposes of VCR Plus+ programming. Check in your TV listing and see whether that number is the same as the channel number you receive that station on with your VCR or Cable Box.*

If the numbers match, you don't have to do anything. You can go directly to "Timer-Recording with VCR Plus+" p. 26.

If there are stations where the numbers are different, and you want to be able to timer-record them, you will have to

"tell" the VCR about the mismatch. Go to step 1.

If there are stations where the numbers are different, but you don't want to timer-record them, you can go directly to

"Timer-Recording with VCR Plus+" p. 26.

MEMORY CAPACITY

Random Assemble Editing utilizes the same memory space as the VCR's timer; so the number of sequences available to this function may not be 8, depending on how many programs are already stored in memory. n Example: Only sequences 1 – 5

are available because three programs are stored in the timer memory.

n Example: The "PROGRAM

OPTIONAL RM-V403U MULTIBRAND R.A.EDIT CONTROLLER

By connecting this controller to your VCR's R.A.EDIT Connector, Random Assemble Editing will become possible in conjunction with a second non-JVC VCR. The controller is compatible with various major VCR brands — convenient especially if you already own a VCR other than JVC. For compatible systems and availability, please consult your JVC dealer.

NOTE:

You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes you want to edit in steps 11 – 12. Since you can hear the soundtrack during selection, you can avoid abrupt or unnatural sounding scene-to-scene connections.

USING INDEX SEARCH WITH RANDOM ASSEMBLE EDITING

In step 11, Index Search can also be used to locate your edit points. When used, "INDEX" and the index number will appear on the R.A.Edit screen. For Index Search n Using Index Search during R.A.Edit will result in a reduction

in accuracy.

n This function requires that index marks are previously recorded

on your tape at the desired edit points.

If You Have Any Questions (cont'd)

Notes regarding...

Tuner Set

n Since receivable channels differ by locale, it will be necessary to

reset your VCR's channels when you move to another location. Auto Channel Set is the easiest way to do this.

Z p. 10

Playback

n If the end of the tape is reached during play or search, it is

automatically rewound to the beginning and stops.

n The VCR automatically stops when the still mode is left activated for

more than 5 minutes.

n If the still picture is unstable, use the VCR's CH –/+ buttons to

correct the picture.

n During search playback, some noise bars will appear. n If noise bars appear during playback or slow motion, correct using

manual tracking.

n There is no audio during search, slow, still, or frame-by-frame

playback.

n When playing back LP recordings during search, still or frame-by-

frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of color.

n When a tape is first inserted, the recorder enters the automatic

tracking mode automatically.

n During multi-speed search, some noise bars will appear. n If adjacent index codes are too close to each other, Index Search may

not function properly.

n If the cassette's safety tab has been removed, index codes cannot be

marked or erased.

n You do not have to set to NORM when playing back tapes with

normal sound track only.

n When MIX is selected, both "Hi-Fi" and "NORM" appear on the TV

screen when the OSD button is pressed.

Z p. 17.

Recording

n To start recording with the VCR's Record button, press it once on its

own. Pressing Record more than once activates Instant Timer Recording.

n After pause, when recording is resumed, a few frames recorded

before the pause may be overlapped by the new recording. This is meant to reduce picture distortion and is not a malfunction.

n The VCR automatically stops when record-pause continues for more

than 5 minutes.

n If the end of the tape is reached while recording, it is automatically

rewound to the beginning and stops.

n If the Record button does not work, check to see if the cassette's

safety tab has been removed.

n The channel cannot be changed while recording is in progress. To

change the channel, press Pause, then change the channel.

Z p. 24.

Timer-Recording

n When timer-recording is successfully completed, the VCR power is

automatically switched off.

n If the end of tape is reached while timer-recording, the cassette is

automatically ejected.

n Since the timer starts and stops recording based on the time being

kept by the VCR's built-in clock, the clock's time must be accurate for correct timer-recording results.

n When you program the timer while viewing a program or a tape, the

TV screen will show the on-screen menu but the audio will continue to be heard.

n You can also program the timer while the VCR is recording; the on-

screen menu will not be recorded on tape.

n Although the provided Cable Box Controller is compatible with

many different cable box brands, it is possible that it will not work with your cable box.

Remote TV Operation

n Whenever you replace batteries in the remote control, it is necessary

to reset the TV code if your television is not a JVC TV.

n With some televisions, the TV/VIDEO button functions only to

switch the TV to the VIDEO(AV) mode.

n Although the provided remote control unit is compatible with JVC

televisions as well as many TV models manufactured by others, it is possible that the provided remote control will not work with your TV.

Remote Cable Box Operation

n Whenever you replace batteries in the remote control, it is necessary

to reset the Cable Box code.

n Although the provided remote control unit is compatible with many

different Cable Box brands, it is possible that the provided remote control will not work with your Cable Box.

Insert Editing

n To stop insert editing automatically, first determine the edit-out point

on the recording tape (the end of the segment to be replaced) and press the remote control's C.RESET button. Then follow steps 8 through 11 in "Insert Editing" ( automatically at the counter reading of 0:00:00.

soundtrack will be automatically selected. If you wish to hear the mixed sound (Hi-Fi + normal soundtracks),

n Audio dubbing is not possible with cassettes whose safety tab is

absent.

Z p. 18.

Random Assemble Editing

n When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the

playback tape between the locations you choose as cut-in/out points and the locations the VCR recognizes as those points.

n For any scene, the cut-out point must have a counter reading that is at

least 1 second after the cut-in point. A cut-out point with a counter reading less than or the same as the cut-in point will not be registered.

n Since the playback deck prerolls during Random Assemble Editing,

there must be at least 15 seconds worth of recorded material prior to any cut-in point on the playback tape.

n If the search time for a cut-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording

deck's Record-Pause mode will be cancelled and editing will not take place.

n R.A.Edit is also possible with another JVC VCR which

a PAUSE terminal but does have an R.A.EDIT connector. In this case, connect both VCRs by their R.A.EDIT connectors.

HR-IP820U INDEX Plus+ 97.5.20 5:44 PM Page 3

System Outline

Introduction

Information Screens

INDEX Plus+ is a video tape indexing and management system that gives you:

1. Random access to programs you have recorded,

2. An easy way to organize your video library, and

3. Simplified timer recording. INDEX Plus+ also enables automatic setting of time

and date. For programs recorded using the HR-IP820U,

program data is automatically stored in the VCR's memory. Tapes made using a non-INDEX Plus+ VCR can be indexed retroactively, and their index data will also be stored in the deck's memory. This allows you to create a video library, providing both organization and quick, precise access to all programs.

The Program data is obtained from a host channel. The host channel transmits the program schedule and channel identification for broadcast and cable TV stations. This is called Channel Specific Program Guide data (CSPG). Program Related Information (PRI) for the program currently being received may also be sent by the TV station broadcasting the program. In some cases a non-host station may send its own program schedule (CSPG).

INDEX Plus+ is an inherently flexible system. For example, when you initiate a search for a particular program, there are multiple options from which the VCR can choose. It selects the method that will most quickly and accurately find the program, depending on the type of tape used (see page 13 for details on tape types).

Channel Related Information Screen

These screens display various types of information which can include the date and time, channel number, channel name, name of program and time remaining of the program currently being received (refer to page 10 of this instruction manual).

Channel Specific Program Guide (CSPG) Screen

Programming schedules from host broadcasting stations are also made available by INDEX Plus+ (refer to page 10 of this instruction manual). The necessary operations, as described later in this manual, can be performed simply and in a relatively short time.

Program Related Information (PRI) Screen

Depending on the program, you may also have access to certain information (PRI) related to a program being broadcast (refer to page 11 of this instruction manual). This information could be in the form of stats of one of the players in a baseball game, a recipe from a cooking show, or questions and answers from a quiz show or educational program.

HR-IP820U INDEX Plus+ 97.5.20 5:44 PM Page 5

Preparing To Use INDEX Plus+

Before you can receive CSPG (Channel-Specific Programming Guide) data from a host station, or reference tapes or programs using INDEX Plus+, you must perform the following procedure.

What is "downloading"? With INDEX Plus+, it means receiving CSPG data from the host station and storing it in your VCR's internal memory. When required this data can be accessed. The host station receives information from regular and cable TV broadcasters and sends this information along with its own as CSPG data. The host station sends information around the clock, even late at night when most VCRs aren't in use. This gives you access to new information on a daily basis.

About Cassettes...

INDEX Plus+ System recognizes three different types of tapes. In order to ensure the most effective use of INDEX Plus+, familiarize yourself with the three tape classifications.

Tape Types

Home-recorded tape (HR): A tape recorded on the

HR-IP820U or a similar INDEX Plus+ VCR. The index is written and updated for each program, and in this case stored in the deck's memory, at the time of recording.

Pre-recorded tape (PR): Unlike tapes currently on the market, PR tapes contain a directory input by the video publisher. You can access the directory using your INDEX Plus+ VCR.

Retroactively-indexed tape (RI): A tape that was recorded on a non-INDEX Plus+ VCR. You can use INDEX Plus+ to add an index.

Reading The Tape

Preparation

1. Turn on the power to the TV and the VCR.

2. Set the TV to the channel or mode appropriate for video playback.

Procedure

In order to determine the tape type, the VCR automatically goes into PLAY mode for a few seconds after the tape is inserted.

   READING TAPE#...

One of the following screens appears, depending on the results:

        TAPE#0123 MUSIC TV

which a number has just been automatically assigned, the display to the right appears:

IMPORTANT

Before you press ENTER to clear the screen, write the tape number (if newly assigned or not recorded) on the tape label. This will help to eliminate accidents and confusion later.

NOTES:

● If the recording time is particularly short, the data may not register in the library and a tape number may not be assigned.

● When recording onto a VHS-C cassette using a cassette adapter, a directory is not made. Even if it were, the program times would not be accurate, and the VCR would not be able to find the program start points.

● When recording over a tape made on another INDEX Plus+ VCR, old directories remain. This may inhibit the making of new directories.

● During recording, if you press INDEX Plus+, the Tape Number, tape position and program title appear on screen (if the VCR was able to read the Tape Number, tape position and program title).

● After recording ends, "PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT" appears on screen for a few seconds.

No operations

can be performed until the message disappears.

INFORMATION:

In the case of a tape that has accidentally been assigned multiple Tape Numbers, perform the following consolidation procedure:

1. Insert the tape, and the VCR reads the Tape

Number at the current tape position. (Refer to page 13 of this instruction manual.)

2. Find a location on the tape where another

Tape Number is recognized, play the tape back for a few seconds and press INDEX Plus+.

3. The directory appears, and program titles that

appeared separately under different Tape Numbers are combined into one listing, under the older number.

4. If the tape has more than two Tape Numbers,

repeat steps 2 and 3 for each additional number.

ATTENTION:

When this VCR's memory becomes full, you cannot register any more directories. Be sure to occasionally check the status of memory. When it becomes full, cancel unnecessary directories. (Refer to "Erasing A Directory" on page 21 of this instruction manual.)

Use the following procedure to check the status of memory.

1. Turn on the power to the TV and the VCR.

2. Set the TV to the channel or mode appropriate for video playback.

3. Insert an HR tape.

4. Press INDEX Plus+. The tape's directory appears.

5. Press F3.

To View And Select Programs From The Directories Of Other Tapes

Preparation

1. Turn on the power to the TV and the VCR.

2. Set the TV to the channel or mode appropriate for

video playback.

3. Insert an HR tape into the VCR.

Procedure

1 Press INDEX Plus+. 2 The tape's directory appears. To view the

directories of other tapes stored in the VCR's memory, press < (DIGIT "7") or > (DIGIT "9").

Searching For A Program

There are two ways to search for a program. You can use TITLE search, where you tell the VCR to find your program using its name, or TAPE # search, where the VCR uses the Tape Number of the tape containing the desired program.

Your search starts from one of two situations:

Once the directory appears, you can make your selection. Using the CURSOR button (VOL+/–), place the cursor next to the name of the program you want to watch, and press PLAY. The VCR begins searching the tape for the program's start point, and playback begins once it's found. If you press STOP, the tape stops at the start point of the program.

Press INDEX Plus+ to return to the normal screen.

NOTES:

● The *in the screen above shows the tape's current position. (The

only appears when the VCR is able

to detect the position of the tape.)

1 A tape is already in the machine, and you decide

you want to watch another program, but you're not sure where it is.

2 There's no tape in the machine, and you want the

VCR to find the program you want to watch.

In either case, you need to access the FIND screen. In the first situation, press INDEX Plus+ to call up the directory of the inserted tape, then press F1. If there's no tape inserted, pressing INDEX Plus+ brings up the FIND screen.

The procedures for each method are explained in the following pages.

4 If you chose to erase the directory, the following

screen appears:



ERASED!

Wait a few seconds, or press any button, and you return to the normal screen.

Deleting Information From A Directory

Normally, when you record from the middle of a tape, dubbing over a previously-recorded show, the directory is updated automatically. However, if anything remains from the program you're recording over (ex. a portion of a commercial), the VCR may continue to recognize this as a single program, and not erase it from the directory. If this happens, follow this procedure to erase the data of the old program:

1 Access the inserted tape's directory by pressing

INDEX Plus+.

2 Using the CURSOR button (VOL+/–), place the

cursor next to the name of the program you've recorded over, and press CLEAR. That program name begins to blink. While it's blinking, press ENTER. Press CANCEL at any time to quit the process.

If you pressed ENTER, the program name is replaced by "BLANK SPACE". If the program was less than 5 minutes in length, however, the program name disappears and all programs listed underneath it move up one space each.

For safety's sake, INDEX Plus+ offers you one last chance to change your mind. If you are unsure, select "NO" by pressing CANCEL. The REVISE screen reappears. If you're sure you want to erase this directory, select "YES" by pressing ENTER.

HR-IP820U INDEX Plus+ 97.5.20 5:45 PM Page 22

Retroactive Indexing

Tapes recorded on another VCR can be indexed, and this index data can be added to the HR-IP820U's library. Tapes to which an index has been added are known as RI (Retroactively-Indexed) tapes. To make an RI tape, perform the procedure described below.

ATTENTION

To make an RI tape, the VCR must be able to read Index Marks at the start of each program. If the VCR on which you recorded this tape didn't write these marks on the tape, you need to enter them manually. (See page 20 of the HR-IP820U's instruction manual.)

Preparation

1. Turn on the power to the TV and the VCR.

2. Set the TV to the channel or mode appropriate for

video playback.

3. Insert the tape you want to make into an RI tape.

Procedure

1 Press INDEX Plus+.

The screen to the right appears:

Press 3. NOTE: If your VCR's library is empty, 1 and 2 will not

appear and LIBRARY IS EMPTY appears on screen. 2 The screen to the right

appears:

Press ENTER. If the tape was not at the beginning, the VCR rewinds it to that point. Then it begins searching for programs.

3 The following screens appear:

  RE-INDEX/SCAN IN PROGRESS      PRESS(CANCEL)TO ABANDON

"RE-INDEX/SCAN" changes to "SEARCHING TITLE..." or "SEARCHING PROGRAM..." when each index mark is found.

IMPORTANT

Before you press ENTER to clear the screen, write the tape number on the tape label. The tape number will not be recorded on a Retroactively Indexed tape. Therefore it will be necessary to enter this tape number whenever this cassette is inserted in the VCR.

6 To view the directory of an RI tape later, insert the

tape and press INDEX Plus+. The screen from step 1 appears. Press 2, then input the Tape Number. (Be careful not to input an incorrect Tape Number.)

NOTES:

● If the tape has been recorded over several times, Index Marks may remain and RE-INDEX/SCAN may not be successful. Erase the Index Marks manually (refer to pg. 20 of the HR-IP820U instruction manual.)

● If Retroactive Indexing is unsuccessful, "FAILURE" appears on screen in step 3. Re-perform the procedure from step 1.

● Retroactive Indexing may occasionally be unsuccessful, depending on the condition of the tape.

Consolidating Program Names

If the tape you want to index contains Index Marks in locations other than the start points of the programs, a "ghost" program may appear on the directory. If this should happen, consolidate the names according to the procedure that follows.

Procedure

1 After step 3 on page 22 (under "Retroactive

Indexing"), press CANCEL.

● The directory for the back-up tape used in data restoration will not copy correctly. To ensure that the back-up tape's own directory is copied correctly, first erase the previously copied version from the VCR's memory (refer to "Erasing A Directory" on page 21 of this instruction manual). Then perform the "Uploading A Directory" procedure ( this instruction manual).

● Transferring and restoring may occasionally be unsuccessful, depending on the condition of the tape.

● If restoration is unsuccessful using the LATEST tape, use the SECOND tape. Any data stored on that tape is completely restored.

● Restoring may occasionally be unsuccessful, depending on the condition of the tape.

● If you stop a restoration in progress, it ends incomplete. In this instance you need to initialize the library (

Helpful terms and information

The following glossary is to help you better understand INDEX Plus+ and its operation.

INDEX Plus+: The name for the system described in this manual. The system was designed to give you random access to recorded programs, and to make it easy for you to organize your video library (see "library" below). CSPG (Channel-Specific Program Guide): A listing of upcoming programs on the currently-selected channel. If sent by the broadcaster, this listing can be displayed on screen, and you can use the data for timer recording. PRI (Program-Related Information): Information relevant to the program currently being received. If the broadcaster is sending this information, you can access it and display it on screen. Typical PRI includes a particular player's statistics from a sporting event, recipes or techniques from a cooking show, or questions and answers from an educational program. HR (Home-Recorded) T ape:A tape containing programs you've recorded at home on an INDEX Plus+ VCR. PR (Pre-Recorded) Tape: A tape produced by a video publisher, and available for purchase, which contains an INDEX Plus+ directory (see "directory" below). RI (Retroactively-Indexed) Tape: A tape consisting of programs recorded at home on a non-INDEX Plus+ VCR. You can add INDEX Plus+ data to this type of tape using the HR-IP820U. Library: This term describes a person's entire video collection, including HR and PR tapes. Directory: A listing of all programs contained on a particular tape. The listing can be called to the screen, and contains such information as tape name and number, program names, and each program's recording mode. Download: The capability of receiving CSPG and storing it in the VCR's internal memory, for easy access at a later time. Preferred channel: If you live in an area in which a great many regular and cable TV channels are available, the title data for these stations may exceed the VCR's memory capacity. To prepare for this, you can select preferred channels. In the event of memory overload, the data for the channel(s) you select will be kept.

Host station: A data center which receives information from regular and cable TV broadcasters, and sends it, along with the host station's own CSPG and PRI, to users of INDEX Plus+. Each host station covers a specific region. VISS (VHS Index Search System): A VISS mark, or index mark, is written on the tape during recording. Its purpose is to indicate to the VCR, during playback, that a new program is beginning. VISS marks are always written on HR and RI tapes, but are optional on PR tapes. On-Screen Menu System: The specially-designed screens, at which required data can be input and functions or options selected, make INDEX Plus+ operations easy to perform. RF (Radio Frequency) Connection: This describes the VCR-to-TV connection where the RF OUT terminal of the VCR is connected to the ANTENNA terminal of the TV. When this method of connection is employed, the VCR essentially "broadcasts" the program to your TV on channel 3 or 4. AV (Audio/Video) Connection: This describes the VCR-to-TV connection where the AUDIO OUT and VIDEO OUT terminals of the VCR are connected to the AV IN terminals of the TV. As the audio and video signals are sent independently and directly to the TV, there's no need to convert them into RF signals. Tuner: Off-the-air and cable TV signals are received by this section of the VCR. This VCR's FrequencySynthesized Tuner is extremely accurate, and has a maximum reception capability of 181 channels. Mode: The word used to describe the operational status of the VCR at any given time. For example, when the tape is being rewound, the VCR is in the Rewind mode. VCR Plus+: The easy timer-programming system which allows you to set your VCR by simply inputting the desired program's code number from the TV listings in newspapers and magazines. Cable Box: This box serves as a control unit for cable TV subscribers, and is usually placed on or near the TV. Cable Box Controller: A remote unit that sends signals to the cable box during timer recording. Guide Channel: The number assigned to a TV broadcaster for purposes of VCR Plus+ programming. This number must match the number of the channel on which your VCR receives the station before you can use VCR Plus+ to record programs shown on that particular station.
