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.

5. Ventilation

Final preparation for use

Turn on the VCR and set the CH3-CH4 switch on the rear (shown below) to either CH3 or CH4 correctly.

● The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3 position. Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area. (To view the picture from this VCR through this channel, select the same channel on the TV with the CH3–CH4 switch setting on the VCR.)

● You can now perform basic playback (墌 pg.

23) or basic recording (墌 pg. 28).

OUT

Back of VCR

NOTES:

●

The 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.

●

Even 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 (墌 pg. 31).

●

For full identification of the VCR’s rear panel, refer to the Index ( 墌 pg. 80).

Connect VCR to power source

Connect the AC power plug to an AC outlet.

● The 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 (墌 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.)

Plug & Play Setting

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

ATTENTION

● If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately. (墌 pg.10 – 15)

● It takes several minutes for the VCR to complete the Plug & Play setting.

● Do not press any buttons on the front panel or on the Remote while Plug & Play is in progress.

INITIAL SETTINGS

This VCR sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play setting. The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.

Perform Plug & Play setup

Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (墌 pg.

6). Then connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR.

The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.

NOTES:

●

Auto Clock Set is performed first. “Auto” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set.

●

Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. During Auto Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

●

When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no need to perform the clock (墌 pg. 10) and tuner (墌 pg.

13) settings. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, and use the ghost reduction function, refer to Manual Channel Set on pages 14 and 15.

During Initial Auto Clock Set

“Auto” blinks.

* If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed”

below.

During Auto Channel Set

The channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

Plug & Play Completed

The current time (including AM/PM) is displayed.

INFORMATION

● If “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”.

● If 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.

● Poor 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

● 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 Semiauto (墌 pg. 11) or Manual Clock Set (墌 pg. 12) procedure.

● If “- -:- -” 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 (墌 pg. 12) and Auto Channel Set or Manual Channel Set (墌 pg. 13 or 14).

What is a “ghost”?

Double images of a TV program, or a “ghost”, is a common problem with TV reception in urban areas. A broadcasting signal, reflected from some surfaces (building, mountain, etc.), arrives slightly later than the signals arriving directly from the TV station. This causes such ghosts as follows:

– Double images – Faint images – Distorted images – Distorted colors – Vertically jittered images

Setting ghost reduction

This VCR is equipped with the ghost reduction function. It reduces the ghosts using a GCR (Ghost Canceller Reference) signal sent from a TV station. The ghost reduction mode can be set for each channel independently and manually.

NOTES:

●

Ghosts may not be reduced in the following cases: – The broadcasting signal does not have a GCR signal. – The antenna is not connected correctly. – There are too many ghosts. – The signal is reflecting from moving objects (airplane, etc.).

●

The images on the screen may be distorted when tuning from

one channel to another or the power is turned on while the ghost reduction function is activated.

Cable Box Control Setting

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)

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+ (墌 pg. 38) or Express timer programing (墌 pg. 42).

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 sensors on both the cable box and DBS receiver.

Contact your cable company about the possibility of exchanging your current cable box with the one compatible with your VCR.

●

The VCR can only change the cable box channel through the Controller during timer recording.

●

If 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.

●

If the VCR’s memory backup expires because of a power failure, set the cable box output channel and brand again.

●

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

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.

DBS receiver

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)

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:

●

The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver channels using the Controller when the VCR has been programed using Express timer programing (墌 pg. 42). Because satellite programing does not use PlusCode, the Controller cannot change the DBS receiver channels during VCR Plus+ timer recording. (You can also use “Satellite Auto Recording” (墌 pg. 61) if your DBS receiver is equipped with a timer.)

●

If 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.

Adjusting picture condition

— Digital TBC/NR

The Digital TBC/NR (Time Base Corrector / Noise Reduction) function removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes and rental tapes. The Digital R3 function which cuts noise and reproduces clear pictures is also linked to this function. We recommend that you use the Digital TBC/NR function when... — playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder. — playing back a tape repeatedly used. — using this VCR as the player for editing.

Other Useful functions for playback

You can also use the following functions for playback.

● Video Calibration (墌 pg. 57)

When this function is set to “ON”, this VCR checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highestpossible pictures.

● Picture Control (墌 pg. 57)

This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your preference.

● Digital R3 (墌 pg. 58)

This function applies edge correction to the luminance signal to enhance details and provides clear pictures.

● Video Stabilizer (墌 pg. 58)

You can automatically correct vertical vibrations in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another VCR.

Press DIGITAL TBC/NR on the front panel so that the DIGITAL TBC/NR lamp lights up.

Each time you press the button, this function turns on and off.

NOTES:

●

If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, the picture may happen to become more stable with Digital TBC/NR activated.

●

If you play back a tape on which certain types of signals (using a PC or some character generators) have been recorded with Digital TBC/NR activated, the playback picture may be distorted. In this case, deactivate Digital TBC/NR.

●

Digital TBC/NR and Video Stabilizer (墌 pg. 58) cannot be used at the same time; if you turn on Digital TBC/NR when “VIDEO STABILIZER” is set to “ON”, Video Stabilizer will be automatically turned “OFF”. Make sure Digital TBC/NR is deactivated when you want to use Video Stabilizer.

• If “PROGRAM NOT COMPLETED PROGRAM OVERLAP” appears, you have another program overlapping the program you have just made. The Program Check screen appears and conflicting programs will start blinking. You can now correct the conflicting programs. See “When programs overlap each other” on page 45.

Engage timer recording standby mode

Press TIMER. The VCR turns off automatically and “‰” is displayed on the front display panel.

To use the VCR while it is in timer recording standby mode

Press TIMER to cancel the timer recording standby mode, then press POWER to turn on the VCR. DO NOT forget to put the VCR into timer recording standby mode again by pressing TIMER after you use the VCR; otherwise, you cannot record the broadcasts you want.

● When “AUTO TIMER” (墌 pg. 57) is set to “ON”, the timer recording standby mode is automatically engaged when the VCR is turned off. It is temporarily canceled when the VCR is turned on. You do not have to press TIMER to engage or disengage the timer recording standby mode.

NOTES:

●

Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer programs. However, the clock time, channel settings, and other menu settings are lost if it lasts for more than 3 minutes. As a result, when the power is supplied again to this VCR after the power failure, the following will take place.

1. This VCR starts the Plug & Play setting automatically to

restore the clock time and channel setting.

2. If the clock time and channel setting are restored correctly,

each timer program you have made will start at its start time unless its end time has elapsed.

●

To timer-record cable channels received through a cable box, be sure to keep the cable box turned on.

●

If “MEMORY FULL” appears on the display when you finish a program setting, the VCR’s memory for the Video Navigation function is full (墌 pg. 46). This is not related to actual recording, so you can finish recording normally, but the Video Navigation information such as recording date, start time, end time, and channel number will not be stored in memory.

IMPORTANT

If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting station’s channel number has been changed, the wrong VCR CH or CABLE CH number will be displayed on the Program screen (墌 step 5 on page 39). When this happens, perform the following steps to set the correct guide channel number for that station.

To ensure that VCR Plus+ timer recording operates correctly, it is necessary to set the VCR Plus+ “Guide Channel Set” for each station. Read the following information carefully.

VCR Plus+ guide channel matching

The VCR Plus+ programing system assigns a VCR Plus+ guide channel to the TV channels and the cable channels. These guide channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ channel codes. Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the guide channel numbers assigned to each station. For accurate VCR Plus+ programing, the VCR Plus+ guide channel number for each station should match the channel number on which it is received in your area.

This Remote is capable of transmitting two control codes; one set to respond to A code control signals and another set to respond to B code control signals. This Remote control is preset to send A code signals because your VCR is initially set to respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your VCR and the Remote to respond to B code signals. When using two JVC VCRs, set two VCRs and their Remotes to different codes, so that you can operate these VCRs separately.

Unplug VCR

Set the VCR/TV/CABLE/DBS selector to “VCR”.

Set remote control code for Remote

1 Press and hold A/B. 2 Press the Number key “2”. 3 Press STOP ( 7 ), and release A/B.

● The Remote now can transmit B code control signals.

Plug in VCR

Plug the AC power cord back into an AC outlet.

Turn on VCR

Press POWER on the Remote.

To control two VCRs with the same Remote

You can control two JVC VCRs by switching the remote control code for the Remote between A and B (墌 step

3), keeping two VCRs to different control codes.

● Press the Number key “1” for A code control signals and the Number key “2” for B code control signals. (To change only the remote control code for the Remote, DO NOT perform steps 1, 4, and 5 .)
