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.

Depending on the broadcast stations that are receivable in your area, or the cable stations offered by your cable supplier, you may have to make certain changes in your VCR's "Guide Channel Set" menu to get proper results. Please read on and find out what you need (and don't need) to do. (After host station scanning, Guide Channel Setting is accomplished automatically, so there's no need for you to do it manually.

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.
