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 alternatingcurrent 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.
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, 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.

NOTES:
cThe 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 VCR’s CH3-CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to CH3 or CH4.
cEven 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 (Z pg. 26).
cFor full identification of the VCR’s rear panel, refer to the Index ( Z pg. 60).
4 Connect VCR to power source
Connect the AC power plug to an AC outlet.
cThe 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 (Z 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.)

*If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.
INFORMATION
cIf “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”.
cIf 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.
cPoor 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
cIf 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.
cIf “- -:- -” 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).

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. 30) or Express timer programing (Z pg. 34).
Installing Controller
1 Situate Controller
Place the Controller so that its transmitter is facing the cable box’s remote sensor.
cMake sure the path between the Controller and the cable box’s remote sensor is not blocked.
2 Attach Controller
Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on the back of the Controller.
3 Connect cable box to VCR
c 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.
c 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.
4 Connect Controller to VCR
Connect the Controller to the CABLE BOX Controller connector on the rear panel.
How to control the cable box
This VCR has two separate methods to control your cable box.
cThe VCR’s wireless Remote can control your cable box. This eliminates the need for a separate cable box’s Remote.
cThe 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 51. To set up the Controller, go to page 16.

If the VCR’s clock has not been set (with AUTO CLOCK set to ON)
“CABLE BOX USERS SET CLOCK MANUALLY” appears for about 5 seconds when you press OK in step 6, then the Clock Set screen appears.
Perform Manual Clock Set on page 12. If you press MENU after the clock has been set, the Cable Box Brand Set screen appears.
NOTES:
cThe Controller may not work with all types of cable box.
cIf your cable box does not respond to any code, you cannot 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 time of timer recording.
Contact your cable company about the possibility of exchanging your current cable box with the one compatible with your VCR.
cThe VCR can only change the cable box channel through the Controller during timer recording.
cIf your cable box cannot be operated with a remote control (because it has no remote sensor), you cannot 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 time of timer recording.
cIf the VCR’s memory backup expires because of a power failure, set the cable box output channel and brand again.
cFor customers in U.S.A.: If you are unable to set the Controller, contact JVC toll free at 1-800-252-5722.

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.) |
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.
ATTENTION:
The Controller can also control a cable box. If both a DBS receiver and a cable box are used, position the Controller so its signal reaches the remote sensors on both the DBS receiver and cable box.

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:
cThe VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver channels using the Controller when the VCR has been programed using Express timer programing (Z pg. 34). Because satellite programing does not use PlusCode, the Controller cannot change the DBS receiver channels during VCR Plus+ timer recording.
cIf 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.
Installing Controller
1 Situate Controller
Place the Controller so that its transmitter is facing the DBS receiver’s remote sensor.
cMake sure the path between the Controller and the DBS receiver’s remote sensor is not blocked.
2 Attach Controller
Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on the back of the Controller.
3 Connect DBS receiver to VCR
c If your DBS receiver does not have audio/ video output connectors
Connect the RF output terminal on the DBS receiver to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the rear of your VCR.
c 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.
4 Connect Controller to VCR
Connect the Controller to the CABLE BOX Controller connector on the rear panel.
How to control the DBS receiver
This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS receiver.
cThe VCR’s wireless Remote can control your DBS receiver. This eliminates the need for a separate DBS receiver’s Remote.
cThe VCR’s Controller can also control your DBS receiver. This allows the VCR to change your DBS receiver’s channel number during timer-recording.
Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCR’s Remote, refer to page 52. To set up the Controller, go to page 19.
