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.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
CAUTIONS
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
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.
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
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.
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 condensa­tion 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 inter­rupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such troubles occur.
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
ATTENTION:

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

NOTES:
The VCR channel is the channel on the TV which will display the audio and video signals from the VCR. The VCR's CH3­CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to CH3 or CH4.
The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3 position. Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area and set the channel on the TV to correspond to the VCR's CH3– CH4 switch setting.
If RF connection to TV is used, when switching from VIDEO to TV mode and from TV to VIDEO it may be necessary to issue a CH UP and then CH DOWN on TV to obtain a good quality picture.
Even if you are using AV 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. 41).

Clock
ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS
If you perform the Advanced Auto Clock Set procedure . . .
Select the PBS channel on your cable box before plugging your VCR’s power plug into the AC outlet. (If you have more than one PBS channel, you may have to select an alternative PBS channel if Advanced Auto Clock Set is not successful.)
If there is no PBS channel in your area, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (Z pg. 11).
For automatic clock adjustment to take place the VCR's power must be off and the cable box must be set to the PBS channel at clock adjustment times.
If you perform Advanced Auto Clock Set successfully, D.S.T. will be set to “AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time (Z pg. 11), your VCR's power must be off and your cable box must be set to the host PBS channel in your area for the D.S.T. adjustment to take place. If the clock is not set correctly, change the D.S.T. setting to “ON” or “OFF”. See step 9 of Semi-Auto procedure (Z pg. 10) or step 6 of Manual procedure (Z pg. 11).
INITIAL SETTINGS
Advanced Auto Clock Set
Your VCR can automatically set its clock when the power plug is first connected to an AC outlet.
To set the clock automatically:
1. Connect the cable or antenna cable to your VCR.
2. Connect the VCR's power plug to the AC outlet.
3. "AUTO" is displayed on the VCR's front panel to show that the
8
clock is being set automatically.
4. Do not power on the VCR until the clock or "--:--" is displayed on the VCR's front display panel.
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. The Advanced Auto Clock Set function scans all the channels received by your VCR to find the Host Channel and then sets the clock.
Before the clock is set, AUTO blinks on the display.
NOT SET
After setting, the current time appears (in hours and minutes).
The Advanced Auto Clock Set function will normally set the clock correctly. However, 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. 10) or Manual (Z pg. 11) clock setting procedure.
If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET" is selected at the Override Auto Clock Set screen on page 10, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the Host PBS 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 is "AUTO CLOCK SET".
If “- - : - - ” appears on the display, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR, there may not be a Host PBS signal available in your area, or your cable box may not be set to the PBS channel. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. If you use a cable box ensure that your local PBS channel is selected on your cable box ( BOX SUBSCRIBERS). Then power on and power off the VCR, the Advanced Auto Clock Set mode will be automatically reactivated and "Auto" will be displayed on the VCR's front panel. If Advanced Auto Clock Set is not performed but everything is connected and set correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (Z pg. 11).

NOTE:
If the memory backup fails, because of a power outage or because the AC was removed from the VCR, Advanced Auto Clock Set will be performed when power is restored to the VCR.

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 69, 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 (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.
For customers in U.S.A.: If you are unable to set the Control­ler, please contact JVC toll free at 1-800-252-5722.

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)
The VCR Plus+ timer programming system eliminates the need to input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the timer record function. Simply key in the PlusCode number for the TV program you wish to record (found in most TV listings) and the VCR’s timer is automatically programmed.
Depending on the TV or cable stations that you receive and the channel numbers that they are received on in your area, you may have to make certain changes in your VCR’s “Guide Channel Set” menu to get proper results. Please read the following information carefully to find out which tasks you need to perform.
Before VCR Plus+ setup you must have performed the following procedures:
Advanced Auto Clock Set (
Tuner setting (Z pg. 13) or Tuner and cable box setting if you
receive your TV channels through a cable box (Z pg. 16)
Z pg. 8) or Clock setting (Z pg. 9)

Channel Number Matching
Most TV listings have a chart indicating the “Guide Channel” number assigned to each station for purposes of VCR Plus+ programming. Check the chart in your TV listings and see if the Guide Channel numbers listed for the stations you receive are the same as the channel number on which each is received by your VCR or cable box.
**SPECIAL NOTES FOR CABLE SUBSCRIBERS**
In many instances, cable TV stations have VCR Plus+ Guide
Channel numbers that DO NOT match the number of the channel on which you receive the station. Check your TV listings, or contact your cable supplier for details.
Many normal broadcast TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.
If the numbers match, go directly to “VCR Plus+ Timer Programming” (
If the numbers are different, and you want to be able to timer record programs from those stations, you have to inform the VCR of the mismatch. Go to step 1. If you will not want to timer record from those stations, you can go directly to “VCR Plus+ Timer Programming” (

NOTES:
Depending on the type of DBS receiver, it is possible that the Controller will not work with it.
If your DBS receiver doesn’t respond to the code, you can’t use the Controller to change satellite channels. In this case, make sure to leave the DBS receiver turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the scheduled start of timer recording.
The VCR can only change the satellite channel through the Controller during timer recording.
If your DBS receiver is one that can’t be operated with a remote control (has no remote sensor), you can’t use the Controller to change its channels. Make sure to leave the DBS receiver turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the scheduled start of timer recording.
For customers in U.S.A.: If you are unable to set the Control­ler, please contact JVC toll free at 1-800-252-5722.

NOTES:
The Commercial Advance Record processes marks the tape when the picture fades to black and the audio fades to silence. Normally there is a period of black and no audio at the beginning and end of commercials.
A black screen or a scene with no audio signal during a program may be detected as the start or end of a commercial.
When using the timer to record two adjacent shows on the same channel, better commercial detection accuracy can be obtained by program­ming each show separately.
If you record over a commercial start or end mark the Commercial Advance feature will not work correctly.
Commercial Advance tested with 6 hours recordings, longer recordings may be possible depending on the number of commercials contained in the broadcast.
The VCR will resume normal playback after skipping 15 minutes of tape if no commercial group end mark is detected.
If the end of the tape is reached during recording, the display as illustrated in step 1 appears, then...
in the case of timer recording or Instant Timer Recording, after step 2 takes place, the cassette will be ejected and the power will shut off.
in the case of normal recording, after step 2 takes place, the VCR will rewind to the beginning of the tape.
During automatic commercial skipping, if the user presses STOP or PLAY, the VCR will resume normal play; furthermore, if the tape is reversed to before the commercial group and played, the commercial group will not automatically be skipped.
If an index code or the end of a recording is detected during Commercial Advance's forward fast-motion playback, normal playback resumes automatically.
Commercial Advance disables commercial marking when the recording is less than 15 minutes.
Commercial Advance does not mark the start of a commercial group when it is in the first or last two minutes of a recording.
Commercial Advance does not mark commercial groups which are less than 59 seconds or groups which contain only one commercial.
Some portions of programs may be detected as commercials.
Some commercials may not be detected properly.

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 (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Record VHS playback signals in the S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently limited by that of the original, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
From S-VHS to VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): 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 (S-VIDEO connection): All signals will be transferred without degradation.

NOTES:
You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes you want to edit in steps 78. Since you can hear the soundtrack during selection, you can avoid abrupt or unnatural sounding scene-to-scene transitions. The sound that is heard, however, is not TimeScan Audio.
When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the source tape between the locations you chose as edit-in/­out points and the locations the VCR recognizes as those points.
There are no limitations for R.A. Edit list (such as repeat segments, negative counter values, segments out of order). Only the start-stop sequence has to be in the normal play direction.
For any scene, the edit-out point must have a counter reading that is at least 1 second after the corresponding edit-in point. Any less than 1 second and the edit-out point will not be registered.
Since the source VCR prerolls during Random Assemble Editing, there must be at least 15 seconds worth of recorded material prior to any edit-in point on the source tape.
If the search time for an edit-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording deck enters its Stop mode and editing will not take place.
To Make Corrections . . .
. . . during step 7 or 8, you can cancel registered in and out points by pressing CANCEL on the remote control. Each time you press, the preceding point is erased.

Automatic editing begins; all the specified scenes are copied to the recording deck in the order they were registered.
The on-screen display remains while your VCR searches for each scene (blinking cursor indicates scene currently being searched for), but disappears during actual editing.
During scene search, the recording deck automati­cally enters its Record-Standby mode. "SEARCHING" appears on the screen.
When all registered scenes have been edited, your VCR enters the Still mode, the recording deck enters its Record-Standby mode, and the cursor blinks at the next available number.
If, for example, you have registered 5 sets of in and out points
and want to reset the first set, you have to press CANCEL until all points after the first set have been erased. Reenter them after you've repaired the first set of points.
Memory Capacity
Random Assemble Editing shares memory space with the VCR's timer. If there are programs occupied by timer-recording data, those spaces cannot be used to register edit-in and -out points — meaning you won't be able to edit 8 scenes.
When all 8 programs are full, "PROGRAM FULL" appears on the R.A. EDIT screen.
To cancel a program, see page 50.
