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.

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.

NOTES:
●To make the most of the Super VHS picture performance we recommend that you use the supplied S-VIDEO cable to connect your VCR to a TV with an S-VIDEO input connector.
●To operate the VCR with your TV using the S-VIDEO connection, set your TV to the AV mode using the TV's Remote.
You can also use the TV/VCR button on the VCR’s Remote to set your TV to the AV mode ( pg. 68).
●If you cannot see the pictures on the TV screen when you play back a tape, set “TV OUTPUT 1” to the appropriate mode ( pg. 56).
NOTES:
●To change the settings or set the timer program on the menu screen, switch the TV’s input mode for the connection with Audio cable.
●To view the picture of 480i image format on the TV, or to select and view TV broadcast, connect the component video cable to the TV’s Y/CB/CR connectors. If your TV has only the Y/PB/PR connectors, connect also the S-VIDEO or VIDEO connectors between the VCR and TV.

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

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.
1 Perform Plug & Play setup
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR
( pg. 7). 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:
●When the AC power cord is connected to an AC outlet, “LOAD” appears on the front display panel. It takes some time until VCR completes its set up.
●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 ( pg. 10) and tuner ( pg. 13) settings. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to Manual Channel Set on page 14.

*If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.
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, Auto Clock Set 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 a 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 ( pg. 12).
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 ( pg. 11) or Manual Clock Set ( 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 ( pg. 12) and Auto Channel Set or Manual Channel Set ( pg. 13 or 14).

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.

BOX
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 programed using VCR Plus+ ( pg. 34) or Express timer programing ( pg. 38).
Installing Controller
1 Situate Controller
Place the Controller so that its transmitter is facing the cable box’s remote sensor.
●Make sure the path between the Controller and the cable box’s remote sensor is not blocked.
2 Attach Controller
Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on the back of the Controller.
3Connect cable box to VCR
● If your cable box does not have audio/video
output connectors
Connect the RF output terminal on the cable box to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the rear of your VCR.
●If your cable box has audio/video output connectors
Connect an audio/video cable between the AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors on the rear of the VCR and the audio/video output connectors on the cable box.
NOTE:
When connecting your cable box, refer to its instruction manual.
4 Connect Controller to VCR
Connect the Controller to the CABLE BOX Controller connector on the rear panel.
How to control the cable box
This VCR has two separate methods to control your cable box.
●The VCR’s wireless Remote can control your cable box. This eliminates the need for a separate cable box’s Remote.
●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, refer to page 69. To set up the Controller, go to page 16.

NOTES:
●The Controller may not work with all types of cable box.
●If your cable box does not respond to any code, you cannot 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 time of timer recording.
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 (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 input 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.

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.) |
DBS Receiver
Control Setting
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:
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.

●The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver channels using the Controller when the VCR has been programed using Express timer programing ( pg. 38). 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” ( pg. 62) 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.
Installing Controller
1 Situate Controller
Place the Controller so that its transmitter is facing the DBS receiver’s remote sensor.
●Make sure the path between the Controller and the DBS receiver’s remote sensor is not blocked.
2 Attach Controller
Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on the back of the Controller.
3Connect DBS receiver to VCR
● If your DBS receiver does not have audio/
video output connectors
Connect the RF output terminal on the DBS receiver to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the rear of your VCR.
● If your DBS receiver has audio/video output connectors
Connect an audio/video cable between the AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors on the rear of the VCR and the audio/video output connectors on the DBS receiver.
NOTE:
When connecting your DBS receiver, refer to its instruction manual.
4 Connect Controller to VCR
Connect the Controller to the CABLE BOX Controller connector on the rear panel.
How to control the DBS receiver
This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS receiver.
●The VCR’s wireless Remote can control your DBS receiver. This eliminates the need for a separate DBS receiver’s Remote.
●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, refer to page 70. To set up the Controller, go to page 19.

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 ( step 5 on page 35). 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. TV listings often have a section in chart form, indicating the guide channel number 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.
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 TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

Other Useful functions for timer recording
You can also use the following functions for timer recording.
● Auto Timer ( pg. 57)
When “AUTO TIMER” 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.
● Auto SP = EP Timer (S-VHS/VHS only) ( pg. 57)
If there is not enough tape to record the entire broadcast for recording in SP mode, the VCR automatically switches to EP mode to allow complete recording. This feature is especially handy when recording a broadcast of more than 2 hours in length.

NOTES:
●If you press NAVI while Video Navigation is deactivated, the Navigation Set Up screen appears. Set "NAVIGATION" to "ON" ( pg. 43).
●Video Navigation playback is possible only with the tape recorded on this VCR.
●To record the date and time as the program title in this VCR's memory, make sure the VCR’s clock is set correctly before recording.
●To record the program information in this VCR’s memory, you must record each program for over the minimum recording time; 5 min for the D-VHS (HS) mode, 10 min for the D-VHS (STD) mode, 30 min for the D-VHS (LS3) mode, 50 min for the D-VHS (LS5) mode, 5 min for the S-VHS/VHS (SP) mode and 15 min for S-VHS/VHS (EP) mode.
●Video Navigation may not work properly for some tapes.
●During playback or when searching for the beginning of a program, a VCR might find two different tape numbers recorded on a tape. After you remove this tape, the tape will be assigned just one tape number (the smaller one). After this, the higher tape number will be missing from the memory’s tape number list.
●Tape program information is stored in this VCR’s memory. If this VCR’s memory is damaged and the program information is lost, it is impossible to restore that information.
●After recording a tape on this VCR, write the tape number on a label and affix the label to the tape in order to allow you to find the tape by its number.
●The on-screen display is output to the TV with S-VIDEO, VIDEO, COMPONENT VIDEO signal in 480i image format.

When you record a TV program on this VCR, the VCR automatically records the recording start time, date, and channel in each program title. If the tape is recorded for the first time, the tape number and the date and time are recorded in the tape title. You can then edit the tape title and the program titles as you like. You can also edit the category in the program title.
In short, you can use the Video Navigation function to create your own video tape library.

OTHER USEFUL FUNCTIONS (cont.) |
Video settings [VIDEO FUNCTION]
* The default setting is bold in the table below.
V. CALIBRATION |
When this function is set to “ON”, this VCR checks the condition of the |
||
(S-VHS/VHS only) |
tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide |
||
the highest-possible pictures. This takes place whenever you play back a |
|||
ON |
|||
tape or start recording after inserting a tape. |
|||
OFF |
|||
NOTES: |
|
||
|
|
||
|
● During playback, this function is always working even though |
||
|
“VIDEO CALIBRATION” appears just at the beginning of automatic tracking. |
||
|
● During recording, this function works only for the first SP recording and the first |
||
|
EP recording on an inserted tape. |
||
|
For timer recording, this function checks the tape condition both for the SP |
||
|
recording and the EP recording before the first timer recording starts. |
||
|
● When you play back rental tapes or tapes recorded on other VCRs, set this |
||
|
function either “ON” or “OFF” whichever gives you the best picture. |
||
|
|
||
PICTURE CONTROL |
This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according |
||
(S-VHS/VHS only) |
to your preference. |
||
AUTO: |
Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted |
||
AUTO (NORM) |
|||
(NORM) |
automatically. |
||
EDIT |
|||
|
When “V. CALIBRATION” is “OFF”, “NORM” will appear |
||
SOFT |
|
||
|
instead of “AUTO”. The quality is not adjusted |
||
SHARP |
|
||
|
automatically when “NORM” appears. |
||
|
|
||
|
EDIT: |
Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording |
|
|
|
and playback). |
|
|
SOFT: |
Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes |
|
|
|
containing much noise. |
|
|
SHARP: Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with |
||
|
|
much flat, same-colored surfaces such as cartoons. |
|
|
NOTES: |
|
|
|
● When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not |
||
|
change until you select again. |
||
|
● Select “EDIT” when you are editing tapes ( pg. 67). After you finish editing the |
||
|
tapes, select “AUTO” (“NORM” when “V. CALIBRATION” is “OFF”.) |
||
|
|
||
DIGITAL R3 (S-VHS/VHS only) |
When this function is set to “ON”, edge correction to the luminance signal |
||
ON |
is performed to enhance details. Normally set this function to “ON”. |
||
OFF |
NOTES: |
|
|
|
|
||
|
● Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with |
||
|
“DIGITAL R3” set to “OFF”. |
||
|
● If you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing, be sure to set “DIGITAL |
||
|
R3” to “OFF” before starting. |
||
|
|
||
VIDEO STABILIZER |
When this function is set to “ON”, you can correct vertical vibrations in |
||
(S-VHS/VHS only) |
the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another |
||
VCR. |
|
||
ON |
|
||
This function is available only when playing back tapes recorded in EP mode. |
|||
OFF |
NOTES: |
|
|
|
|
||
|
● When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to “OFF”. |
||
|
● Regardless of the setting, this function has no effect during recording and during |
||
|
special effects playback. |
||
|
● To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to “OFF”. |
||
|
● When this function is set to “ON”, the vertical vibrations may occur. Press |
||
|
CHANNEL + or – on the VCR (or TV/VCR CH + or – on the Remote) to |
||
|
eliminate vibration. |

|
* The default setting is bold in the table below. |
|
|
|
|
S-VHS MODE |
You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode or VHS mode — is |
|
ON |
used for recording on D-VHS and S-VHS tapes. |
|
When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on D-VHS and S-VHS tapes with |
||
OFF |
||
S-VHS picture quality. |
||
|
||
|
When this function is set to “OFF”, you can record on D-VHS and |

|
|
highest quality picture we recommend to record in S-VHS mode. (But remember that a |
|
|
conventional VHS VCR without SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.) |
|
|
● S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes. Recording on VHS tapes is always |
|
|
performed in VHS mode except when using S-VHS ET mode ( pg. 59). |
|
|
|
|
AV COMPU-LINK |

What is “i.LINK”?
“i.LINK” is a digital serial interface that allows devices equipped with an i.LINK connector to exchange digital video signals, digital audio signals, and device control signals bi-directionally over a single cable.
i.Link refers to the IEEE1394-1995 industry specification and extensions thereof. Thelogo is used for products compliant with the i.Link standard.
i.LINK Connection Examples
Examples of good i.LINK connections and bad i.LINK connections are shown below. The digital signals flow to all connected devices. When connecting i.LINK devices, make sure that the devices are connected in such a way that digital signals do not return (loop back) to the device that output them. Looped connection is not permitted.
This VCR uses a four-pin i.LINK connector to input and output MPEG2 video signals, audio signals, and control signals. The i.LINK connector is also used as an input for DV compressed signals from the DV output of a digital video camera.
i.LINK Connection
i.LINK-compatible devices can be connected in daisy chain fashion using i.LINK cables.

|
|
A |

C |
D |
|
|
A to D: i.LINK-compatible |
|
|
|
|
devices |
Any two devices in the daisy chain can exchange data bi-directionally, even if there are other devices connected between them.
i.LINK also supports a “repeater function” that passes input MPEG2 and DV signals through to the next device in the chain.
i.LINK Branched Connection
If you are connecting a device that is equipped with three or more i.LINK connectors, you can also branch the i.LINK connection.

EDITING (cont.) |
S-VIDEO/ VIDEO Connections
Various connection for editing tapes
The following three methods can be used for editing tapes.
●VHS to S-VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the original VHS quality, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
●S-VHS to VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Since the original source is recorded in S-VHS mode, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
●S-VHS to S-VHS editing (S-VIDEO connection): Original picture quality of S-VHS made can be duplicated with minimal picture degradation. This is the best editing method you can use on S-VHS VCRs.

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 turned on for a few hours to evaporate the moisture 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.
ATTENTION
This VCR contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference can cause microcomputer to malfunction. If the VCR does not operate correctly switch its power off and unplug the AC power cord from the AC supply. Wait for a while and then plug the power back in. Eject and check the condition of the cassette. If everything appears normal, you can operate the VCR as usual.

The following conditions are product features and do not indicate mechanical problems.
Playback of tapes recorded in D-VHS mode
•You may see a mosaic (block) noise, grayed images, or a still image in cases of excessive distortion caused when playing back a damaged tape or when the heads are momentarily dirty.
•It takes a moment after you press PLAY (3) until the image appears and sound is heard.
•It takes a moment after you switch playback speeds (when switching from special effect playback to normal playback, for example) until the image appears and sound is heard. For a few seconds, the image may be played back out of synch with the sound.
Searching images on D-VHS tapes
•The images appear frame by frame.
•Block noise may appears on the bottom half of images.
•When the blank portion is reached, a still scene of the last recorded image is displayed.
The picture stops/There is no sound
•When two or more devices are connected to this VCR with the i.LINK cable (a camcorder and another i.LINK-compatible device), do not turn on the camcorder if you record a program from an another i.Link-compatible device. Turning on and off the camcorder may cause momentary still images and loss of sound.
Image or sound is distorted
•When recording from a camcorder connected to this VCR with the i.LINK cable, the image or sound may be distorted. If this occurs, insert a D-VHS cassette in the VCR and turn off and on the VCR, then start recording again. If the problem is not fixed, record using the audio/video input connectors instead of i.LINK connector.
Recording from camcorders and other devices via i.LINK connector
•You may see a mosaic (block) noise.
•For scenes with fast action, the image may jitter. This does not affect recording, which will proceed as usual.
•When you watch the camcorder’s, search images through this VCR, the block noise may appear.
•When you record audio-dubbed DVC cassettes (tapes which have four recorded channels), sound may not be heard for the first few seconds.
•When you eject and insert D-VHS cassettes, the sound may be interrupted for an instant.
•When you press REC SPEED to switch recording speed, the sound may be interrupted for an instant.
Incorrect image formatting for wide TVs
•If you have connected two different devices using the S-video output connectors on the back of the VCR, the sensing signal for wide TVs may not be output correctly depending on the connected devices. If this occurs, use the TV controls to switch the screen size.

Q. When playing back programs that have been timerrecorded consecutively (such one program from 8:00 to 9:00 and another one from 9:00 to 10:00), the picture and sound become momentarily distorted where the first program ends and the second program begins. Is this a malfunction?
A. No. This is normal.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Q.Other than preventing further recording, what effect does removing the safety tab have?
A.It disables marking of index codes and tape numbers
for Video Navigation.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Q. Sometimes, during index search, the VCR cannot find the program I want to see. Why not?
A. There may be index codes too close together.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Q.During playback, on-screen display sometimes jitters. Why does this happen?
A.If the condition of the tape being played back is not good, jittering of the video (including on-screen display) may occur.
RECORDING
Q.When I pause and then resume a recording, the end of the recording before the pause is overlapped by the new recording. Why does this happen?
A.This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and
resume points.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Q.Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the recording pause mode?
A.No. The VCR automatically stops after 5 minutes to protect the heads. When paused during Instant Timer Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts off automatically after
5 minutes.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Q.What happens if the tape reaches its end during recording?
A.The VCR stops, then “” and “#” blink on the front display panel.
TIMER RECORDING
Q.“” and “‰” remain lit on the front display panel.
Is there a problem?
A.No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording
in progress.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Q.Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape or a TV broadcast?
A.Yes, but while you are setting the timer you will not see the tape’s or broadcast program’s picture as it is replaced by the on-screen menu. (The sound from the tape or broadcast program will be heard during the timer setting.)

Digital Broadcasts and D-VHS
Great changes in the entertainment and media industries are transforming the way we use VHS, and digital broadcasting is a good example of what the future holds. Digital broadcasting now allows more efficient use of the limited broadcast spectrum besides delivering highdefinition video, outstanding sound quality, multiple channels, and multiple features.
Meanwhile, VHS has evolved with the advances in broadcasting in response to the need for continued use of existing VHS resources and the trend toward digital broadcasts.
Digital broadcasting is not limited to transmissions of audio and video content. A variety of other data can be sent as well. As the means to record all of these digital signals while supporting playback of the extensive VHS library of analog tapes, D-VHS was developed.
This VCR is equipped with an MPEG-2 encoder and decoder (codec) for digital recording and playback of analog signals.
D-VHS is the key to a smooth transition from analog to digital formats. This next-generation home video technology lets us continue to enjoy home video entertainment as popularized in the last century well into the next.
Linear PCM Audio
Conventional D-VHS recording uses MPEG-1 Layer 2 compression to record analog audio digitally.
For recording without compression, this VCR also features PCM recording (pulse code modulation: 48 kHz, 16-bit, 1536 kbps).
Used with high-resolution HS/STD mode, it offers outstanding high-fidelity recording and playback. (Recording from audio input alone is not supported.)
Dolby Digital
A form of digital audio coding developed by Dolby Laboratories to deliver surround sound with 5.1 channels (front left and right, center, rear left and right, and a channel for LFE (low-frequency effects).
When you play back a digital tape encoded in Dolby Digital format, the Dolby Digital bistream is sent from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL connector.
Set “OPTICAL OUT” to “Dolby D” ( pg. 55).
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby", "Pro Logic", and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. Confidential unpublished works. Copyright 19921997 Dolby Laboratories. All rights reserved.
i.LINK
“i.LINK” is a digital serial interface that allows devices equipped with an i.LINK connector to exchange digital video signals, digital audio signals, and device control signals bi-directionally over a single cable.
i.Link refers to the IEEE1394-1995 industry specification and extensions thereof. The logo is used for products compliant with the i.Link standard.
MPEG2
Abbreviation for Moving Picture Experts Group, Phase 2. Unlike previous compression methods, MPEG-2 uses an extremely efficient compression method that supports high-definition video. Based on the principle that much video data remains unchanged from one frame to the next, predictive coding is performed to eliminate redundant data.
Specifically, compression is applied between frames (based on the correlation of frame data) and within frames (based on DCT, or discrete cosine transform) for an extremely efficient compression technique.
