INSTALLING YOUR NEW VCR

CHECK CONTENTS

Make sure the package contains all of the accessories listed in “SPECIFICATIONS” (墌 pg. 68).

SITUATE VCR

Place the VCR on a stable, horizontal surface.

CONNECT VCR TO TV

The connection method you use depends on the type of TV you have.

RF Connection

●

To Connect To A TV With NO AV Input Terminals . . .

a– Disconnect the TV antenna from the TV. b– Connect the TV antenna cable to the ANTENNA

IN jack on the rear of the VCR.

c– Connect the supplied RF cable between the TV

OUT jack on the rear of the VCR and the TV’s antenna terminal. Set TV on CH3 or CH4 corresponding to the CH3 – CH4 switch setting on the back of the VCR.

AV Connection

●

To Connect To A TV With AV Input Terminals . . .

a– Connect the antenna, VCR and TV as shown in

the illustration.

b– Connect an Audio/Video Cable between the AUDIO

OUT and VIDEO OUT jacks on the rear of the VCR and the AV IN jacks on the TV. Set your TV in video input mode or A/V input mode. Refer to the TV Instruction Manual.

S-VIDEO Connection

●

If you have a TV with S-VIDEO input terminals, see "S-VIDEO Connection" on page 7.

CONNECT VCR TO POWER SOURCE

Connect the power plug to an AC outlet.

● The clock and tuner channels will automatically be set when the antenna is connected and when the AC is first connected to the VCR (墌 pg. 8). (If "Auto" or "CH" is displayed on the front display panel before the VCR is powered on, the clock and tuner channels are being set automatically. Wait for the time to be displayed on the front display panel before powering on the VCR.)

FINAL PREPARATION FOR USE

Power on the VCR and if you have connected the VCR to the TV using the RF connector, select the VCR channel (3 or 4) by setting the switch on the rear of the VCR as shown in the illustration. You can now perform simple playback (墌 pg. 22) or simple recording (墌 pg. 23).

NOTES:

●

The VCR channel is the channel on the TV which will display the audio and video signals from the VCR. The VCR's CH3CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to CH3 or CH4.

●

The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3 position. Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area and set the channel on the TV to correspond to the VCR's CH3– CH4 switch setting.

●

If you have connected the VCR to the TV using the RF connector, you may need to press CH UP and then CH DOWN on the TV when switching between the TV and VCR input modes, to maintain good picture quality.

●

Even if you are using AV 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. 38).

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.

PLUG & PLAY SETUP

Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (墌 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:

●

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 an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed" on next page.

ATTENTION

If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels manually. (墌 pg.10 – 14)

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

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 (墌 pg. 10) and Tuner (墌 pg. 13) set procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 14.

EN 9

INFORMATION

● If "AUTO CLOCK" is set to "ON" at the Clock Set screen on page 11, 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".

● 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.

What To Do If Plug & Play Has 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 Semi-Auto (墌 pg. 11) or Manual Clock Set (墌 pg. 12) 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 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 (墌 pg. 12). Auto channel set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure (墌 pg. 13).

Last-Function Memory

When the AC is removed from the VCR or when the power failure occurs, your settings for the following functions are kept in memory. These settings will resume when the VCR is turned on again.

a- Input Selection (channel or auxiliary input; L-1 or F-1) b- Returning Position (墌 pg. 28) c- Superimpose (墌 pg. 30) d- Recording Safety Mode (墌 pg. 39)

CABLE

BOX

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+ (墌 pg. 43) or Express Timer Programming (墌 pg. 47).

Cable Box Control

Situate And Connect Controller

SITUATE CONTROLLER

Place the Controller so that the path between its transmitter and the cable box’s remote sensor is unobstructed.

ATTACH CONTROLLER

Fasten securely using the supplied adhesive strip.

CONNECT CABLE BOX TO VCR

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 16 also).

NOTE:

When connecting your cable box refer to its instruction manual.

CONNECT CONTROLLER TO VCR

Connect to the CABLE BOX connector on your VCR.

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.

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 57. To set up the Controller go to page 16.

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 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.

●

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 (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.

●

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

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 12.

This feature helps you locate certain parts of prerecorded movies (rented or purchased) and works in two ways.

● You can go to the beginning of the movie, skipping over all previews.

● You can fast-motion the tape to the beginning of the next preview, so you can skip over previews one by one.

●

In the case of timer recording, calibration takes place for both SP and EP before the first timer recording after inserting the cassette (regardless of the tape speed selected for that recording).

●

Once the cassette is ejected, the calibration data is canceled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, calibration is re-performed.

●

While Video Calibration is operative, the PAUSE button will not function.

●

To display the Video Calibration screen, "SUPERIMPOSE" must be set to "ON" or the Video Calibration screen will not appear (墌 pg. 30).

S-VHS ET

This facility allows recording with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes. You can play back those cassettes recorded in S-VHS ET on a VCR equipped with S-VHS ET.

NOTES:

●

To obtain the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a longer period on this model, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tape is recommended.

●

You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this VCR but also on another VHS VCR equipped with S-VHS ET. * It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings.

●

S-VHS ET recordings can also be played back on an S-VHS VCR or a VHS VCR equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. However, there may be cases where S-VHS ET playback is not possible on a particular VCR.

●

Frequent still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback may damage the tape and cause picture degradation.

●

With some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is recommended that you do test record beforehand to make sure whether better results can be obtained.

●

High Grade tapes are recommended for superior results.

●

Make sure that "VIDEO CALIBRATION" is set to "ON" at the Function screen (墌 pg. 36).

●

During S-VHS ET playback noise may appear depending on tape quality.

●

Noise may appear during still frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback.

●

If the playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.

Turn on the TV and select the VCR channel 3 or 4 (or AV mode).

IMPORTANT

If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting station's channel number has been changed, the wrong VCR or CABLE CH number will be displayed on the VCR Plus+ program screen (墌 step 5 on page 44). When this happens, perform the following steps to set the correct the 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. Please read the following information carefully.

VCR Plus+ Guide Channel Matching

The VCR Plus+ programming system assigns a VCR Plus+ "Guide Channel" to broadcast and cable TV 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+ programming the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel number for each station should match the channel number on which it is received in your area.

NOTES:

●

In many instances the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel numbers for cable and broadcast TV stations DO NOT match the channel number on which it is received by your VCR or cable box. Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

●

Many broadcast TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

Advantages Of S-VHS Editing

S-VHS allows you to make high resolution video recordings when dubbing from one VCR to another. You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, from S-VHS to VHS, or from S-VHS to S-VHS.

● From VHS to S-VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Record VHS playback signals in the S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the original VHS source material, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

● From S-VHS to VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Because the picture quality of the source material is very high, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

● From S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection): A high resolution copy is made of a high resolution original SVHS tape with minimal picture degradation. This is the preferred method of video dubbing.

S-Video cable (supplied)

S VIDEO OUT

S VIDEO IN

You can use your VCR as the player or the recorder.

MAKE CONNECTIONS

Connect an AV cable between the player’s VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT connectors and the recorder’s VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN connectors.

● If using another VCR with an S-VIDEO input or output connector, it is recommended to use the SVIDEO connection to minimize picture degradation while editing.

● When using your VCR as the recorder and a monaural VCR as the player, connect the player’s AUDIO OUT connector to the AUDIO IN L connector on the recorder.

LOAD CASSETTES

Insert the playback cassette into the player and the cassette to be recorded on into the recorder.

SET RECORDER’S INPUT MODE

Set to "AUX". With this VCR, press the NUMBER key "0" and/or CH to select depending on the connector being used – "L-1" for the rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN connector, or "F-1" for the front AUDIO/VIDEO IN connector.

NOTE:

If you use your VCR as the recorder and have connected another VCR to your VCR's S-VIDEO IN connector, you need to set "REAR AUX INPUT" to "S-VIDEO" at the Function screen. Follow steps 4 – 6 from the "Edit From A Camcorder" section (墌 pg. 54 and 55).

SELECT “EDIT” FOR PICTURE CONTROL SET MODE

Follow the “Picture Control” section on page 26, then select “EDIT.”

NOTE:

When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select “AUTO” (or “NORM” when “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is set to “OFF”) after you finish dubbing the tapes.

Edit From A Camcorder

You can use a camcorder as the player and your VCR as the recorder.

MAKE CONNECTIONS

Connect an AV cable between the camcorder’s VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT connectors and your VCR’s VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN connectors.

● If connecting a camcorder with an S-Video output, it is recommended to use the S-VIDEO connection to minimize picture degradation while editing.

● If connecting to a camcorder with an S-Video Output, connect the camcorder using the connectors on the rear of the VCR.

● When a Master Edit Control-equipped JVC camcorder is used, the camcorder is capable of controlling your VCR. The mini-plug cable is a mono 3.5 mm mini-plug to mono 3.5 mm mini-plug connector.

● If connecting to a camcorder with a monaural output, connect the audio output connector on the camcorder to AUDIO IN L of the VCR.

LOAD A CASSETTE

Insert the cassette to be recorded on into the recorder.

SET RECORDER’S INPUT MODE

Set to "AUX". Press the NUMBER key “0” and/or CH to select depending on the connector being used – “L-1” for the rear panel input connectors, or “F-1” for the front panel input connectors.
