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.
CAUTIONS
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
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.
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.
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
ATTENTION:
POUR ÉVITER LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER JUSQU'AU FOND.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in 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.

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.

Plug & Play
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set
ATTENTION
If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels manually. (Z pg.11 – 15)
IMPORTANT
cDon’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote while Plug & Play is in progress.
cIf you perform Plug & Play successfully, there’s no need to perform the Clock (Z pg. 11) and Tuner (Z pg. 14) procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 15.
The Plug & Play function sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when power is first connected to the VCR. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play function.
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.
PLUG & PLAY SETUP
1 Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (Z pg. 6). Then connect the VCR’s power plug to an AC outlet. Do not power on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.
NOTES:
cAuto clock set is performed first. The auto clock set function scans all the channels received by your VCR to find the Host Channel and then sets the clock. "Auto" blinks on the front display panel during Auto clock set.
cAuto channel set is performed next. The auto channel set function scans all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. It then automatically assigns each receivable channels to the CH5 (+/–) buttons. It skips non-receivable channels. During auto channel set the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.
cWhen Plug & Play has been completed successfully the correct time is displayed.
cIf an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed" on next page.

INFORMATION
cIf "AUTO CLOCK" is set to "ON" at the Clock Set screen on page 12, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel 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 of "AUTO CLOCK" is "ON".
cIf the memory backup fails, because of a power outage or because the AC was removed from the VCR, Plug & Play will be performed when power is restored to the VCR.
What To Do If Plug & Play Has 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 Semi-Auto (Z pg. 12) or Manual Clock Set (Z pg. 13) procedure. Auto channel set has already taken place and it need not be set again.
cIf “- -:- -” appears on the display, 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 power on and power off the VCR; the Plug &
Play function will be automatically reactivated and "Auto" will be displayed on the VCR's front panel. If Plug & Play is not performed but the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (Z pg. 13). Auto channel set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure (Z pg. 14).

Cable Box
Control
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 control sensors of both the cable box and DBS receiver.

This 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 shows that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (Z pg. 46) or Express Timer Programming (Z pg. 50).

SITUATE CONTROLLER
1 Place the Controller so that the path between its transmitter and the cable box’s remote sensor is unobstructed.
ATTACH CONTROLLER
2 Fasten securely using the supplied adhesive strip.
CONNECT CABLE BOX TO VCR
3 The connection method depends on the type of cable box you have.
If your cable box has AUDIO and VIDEO OUT connectors . . .
. . . connect them to the AUDIO and VIDEO IN connectors on your VCR. Set the VCR to channel "L-1" for the rear AUDIO and VIDEO IN connectors, or channel "F-1" for the front AUDIO and VIDEO IN connectors to use the cable box.
If your cable box doesn’t have AUDIO and VIDEO OUT connectors . . .
. . . connect the antenna output connector on the cable box to the ANTENNA IN connector on the rear of your VCR.
Set the VCR tuner to the same channel as the cable box RF output (see page 17 also).
NOTE:
When connecting your cable box refer to its instruction manual.
CONNECT CONTROLLER TO VCR
4 Connect to the CABLE BOX connector on your VCR.
About Your Cable Box
This VCR has two separate methods to control your Cable Box.
cThe VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your Cable Box.
This eliminates the need for a separate Cable Box Remote Control Unit.
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 Control unit, refer to page 61. To set up the Controller go to page 17.
Turn on the TV and select the VCR channel 3 or 4 (or AV mode).

INFORMATION
When the VCR's clock has not been set (with AUTO CLOCK set to ON), if you press OK in step 7, "CABLE BOX USERS SET CLOCK MANUALLY" will be displayed on the screen for about 5 seconds, then the Clock Set screen will appear; perform the manual clock setting procedure on page 13. If you press MENU after the clock has been set, the Cable Box Brand Set screen appears.
NOTES:
cAlthough the supplied Controller is compatible with many different cable box brands, it is possible that it will not work with your cable box.
cIf your cable box doesn’t respond to any code between 1 and 25, 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.
cThe VCR can only change the cable box channel through the Controller during timer recording.
cIf your cable box is one that can’t be operated with a remote control (because it 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.
cIf the VCR's memory backup expires because of a power failure, set the cable box output channel and brand again.
cIf you are unable to set the Controller, please contact JVC toll free at 1-800-252-5722.

About Your DBS Receiver
This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS Receiver.
cThe VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your DBS Receiver.
This eliminates the need for a separate DBS Receiver Remote Control Unit.
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 Control unit, refer to page 62. To set up the Controller go to page 20.
EN19
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 programmed using Express Timer Programming (Z pg. 50).
Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the Controller can not 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 A/V inputs and the cable box to your VCR's antenna input.
Situate And Connect
Controller
SITUATE CONTROLLER
1 Place the Controller so that the path between its transmitter and the DBS receiver's remote sensor is unobstructed.
ATTACH CONTROLLER
2 Fasten securely using the supplied adhesive strips.
CONNECT DBS RECEIVER TO VCR
3 The connection method depends on the type of DBS receiver you have.
If your DBS receiver has AUDIO and VIDEO OUT connectors . . .
. . . connect them to the AUDIO and VIDEO IN connectors on your VCR. Set the VCR to channel "L-1" for the rear AUDIO and VIDEO IN connectors, or channel "F-1" for the front AUDIO and VIDEO IN connectors to use the DBS receiver.
If your DBS receiver doesn’t have AUDIO and VIDEO OUT connectors . . .
. . . connect the antenna output connector on the DBS receiver to the ANTENNA IN connector on the rear of your VCR.
Set the VCR's tuner to the same channel as the DBS receiver's RF output. (See page 20 also.)
NOTE:
When connecting your DBS receiver refer to its instruction manual.
