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.
**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

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
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.

INITIAL SETTINGS
Dual Quick Set
7
Dual Quick Set sets the clock and tuner channels automatically
when power is first connected to the VCR. The antenna cable
must be connected for dual quick set.
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.
6
q
IMPORTANT
● Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote during
Dual Quick Set.
● If you perform Dual Quick Set 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 Dual Quick 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 Dual Quick 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 Dual Quick 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).
PERFORM DUAL QUICK SET
Make sure that the antenna cable is connected to the
VCR. Then connect the VCR’s power plug to an AC
1
outlet. For connection configuration, refer to “Basic
Connections” (Z pg. 6). 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 is displayed on the front display panel during
Auto clock set.
● Auto channel 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 in ascending order.
● When Dual Quick Set has been completed successfully
the correct time is displayed.
● The clock can 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.)
● 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 procedure (Z pg. 10).
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. 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).
NOTE:
If, due to a power outage or other event, the memory backup
fails, Dual Quick Set is performed when power is restored to the
VCR.

This procedure is required if you receive your TV channels
through a cable box (descrambler). The Cable Box Controller
allows the VCR to automatically switch cable box channels,
allowing you to timer-record programs from various cable
stations. The Cable Box Controller is effective for recording
shows that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (Z pg. 36)
or On-Screen Timer Programming (Z pg. 38).
Situate And Connect
Controller
Suggested Location
Place the cable box on top of the VCR. Attach the VCR's Cable
Box Controller to the top of the VCR with the Controller’s
transmitter pointed towards the cable box’s remote sensor.

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 Cable Box 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 48. To set up the Cable Box
Controller go to page 16.

NOTES:
●
Although the supplied Cable Box 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
Cable Box 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 Cable Box
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.
●
If you are unable to set the Cable Box Controller, please
contact JVC toll free at 1-800-252-5722.
