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
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.
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.
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.
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.
n Cassettes marked "VHS" (or "S-VHS") can be used with this
video cassette recorder. However, only "VHS" recordings can
be played back in this model.
n HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void
user's authority to operate the equipment.

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.

INITIAL SETTINGS
Plug & Play
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.
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set
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
automatically be set.
● Auto 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.
● Auto 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 CH▲▼ buttons. It skips
non-receivable channels. During auto channel set the
channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned
and set.
● When Plug & Play has been completed successfully the
correct time is displayed.
● 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 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
Clock Set (Z pg. 11) procedure. Auto channel set has
already taken place and it need not be set again.
● 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 is selected on your cable
box (Z ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS). 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 everything
is connected and set correctly, perform the Manual
Clock Set procedure (Z pg. 11). Auto channel set has
not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set
Receivable Channels” procedure (Z pg. 12).
IMPORTANT
● Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote while
Plug & Play is in progress.
● If you perform Plug & Play successfully, there’s no need to
perform the Clock (Z pg. 9) and Tuner (Z pg. 12)
procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete
channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 14.
ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS
If you perform the Plug & Play 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 Plug & Play 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 Plug & Play 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).
NOTE:
If 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.
PM
Plug & Play Completed
The current time (including
AM/PM) is displayed.

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. 38) or
On-Screen Timer Programming (Z pg. 40).
Cable Box

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 strips.
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; if you use the input connectors other than the rear panel AUDIO and VIDEO OUT
connectors, be sure to select the correct external input
mode as described in step 4, 5, 9 – 11 on page 46. Set
the VCR to channel "AU" 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 ANT.IN connector on the rear of your VCR.
Set the VCR tuner to the same channel as the cable box
RF output (see page 16 also).
NOTE:
Refer to your cable box’s instruction manual during
connection.
CONNECT CONTROLLER

Connect to the CABLE BOX connector on your 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 49. To set up the Controller
go to page 16.

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.

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:
● Plug & Play (
Z pg. 7)
or
Clock setting (Z pg. 9)
Tuner setting (Z pg. 12)
● Cable box setting if you receive your TV channels through a
cable box (Z pg. 15)
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” (
Z pg. 38).
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” (
Z pg. 38).

The following procedure is required if you receive satellite channels
through a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receiver and you want
your VCR to change to receiver's channels during timer recording.
The VCR can control the DBS Receiver during timer recording
using its Controller.
NOTES:
●
The Controller can automatically change the DBS Receiver
channels when the VCR has been programmed using OnScreen Timer Programming (Z pg. 40).
Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the
Controller can not change the DBS Receiver channels during
VCR Plus+ Timer Recording.
●
If a cable box is used simultaneously, it is recommended to
connect the DBS receiver to your VCR using A/V inputs.

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 control sensors of both the DBS
receiver and cable box.
About Your DBS Receiver
This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS Receiver.
●
The VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your
DBS Receiver.
This eliminates the need for a separate DBS Receiver Remote
Control Unit.
●
The 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 50. To set up the Controller
go to page 21.
