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.

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.

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.

INITIAL SETTINGS

Dual Quick Set

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.

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

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.

Tuner And Cable Box Controller

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.

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:

● Dual Quick setting (

Clock setting (Z pg. 9) Tuner setting (Z pg. 12)

● Tuner and 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” (

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. 7)

POWER

Control Two JVC VCRs

The supplied remote control is capable of controlling two JVC VCRs independently using the A/B CODE switch. You can set this VCR so it responds to remote commands only when the switch is set to B, and another VCR so it responds to commands when the switch is set to A. The switch is preset to A because this VCR normally responds to A-code signals. You can easily modify this VCR to accept B-code commands.

UNPLUG VCR'S POWER CORD

Unplug from the AC outlet.

SET A/B CODE SWITCH

Set the A/B CODE switch on the remote control to B.

PLUG IN POWER CORD

Plug back in to the AC outlet.

TURN VCR POWER ON

Press POWER on the remote.

The VCR will now respond only to B-code commands.

Before requesting service for a problem, use this chart and see if you can repair the trouble yourself. Small problems are often easily corrected, and this can save you the trouble of sending your VCR off for repair.
