(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.

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.

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.

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 Setting

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

ATTENTION

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

● It takes several minutes for the VCR to complete the Plug & Play setting.

● Do not press any buttons on the front panel or on the Remote while Plug & Play is in progress.

IN F-1

EN 9

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.

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.

During Initial Auto Clock Set

“Auto” blinks.

* If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed”

below.

During Auto Channel Set

The channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

Plug & Play Completed

The current time is displayed. (“PM” lights up during the afternoon.)

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).

Cable Box Control Setting

EN 15

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+ (墌 pg. 34) or Express timer programing (墌 pg. 38).

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.

How to control the cable box

This VCR has two separate methods to control your cable box.

● 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.

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.

DBS Receiver Control Setting

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.

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)

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:

●

The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver channels using the Controller when the VCR has been programed using Express timer programing (墌 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” (墌 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.

Other Useful functions for timer recording

You can also use the following functions for timer recording.

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) (墌 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.

●

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.

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.

When this function is set to “ON”, this VCR checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible pictures. This takes place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after inserting a tape.

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.

This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your preference.

AUTO: Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted (NORM) automatically.

EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording

SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes

Approximately 110 minutes

Make sure you set this function to “ON” before the timer-recording starts.

NOTES:

●

If you have programed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second program and those thereafter may not fit on the tape with this function set to “ON”. In this case, do not use this function, but change the recording speed manually during timer programing.

●

In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this function may leave a slight nonrecorded portion at the end of the tape.

●

There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the recording speed switches from SP to EP mode on the tape.

●

This function is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and will work properly on the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-120.

● When this function is set to “ON”:

䡵 AV COMPU-LINK

OFF

You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode or VHS mode — is 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 S-VHS picture quality.

When this function is set to “OFF”, you can record on D-VHS and S-VHS tapes with VHS picture quality.

NOTES:

●

To record in S-VHS/VHS mode on D-VHS tape, press D-VHS to turn off the D-VHS indicator.

●

S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings with horizontal resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230 lines of resolution of conventional VHS recordings. To achieve the 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 (墌 pg. 59).

The REMOTE PAUSE/AV COMPULINK terminal on the rear panel can be used as either the REMOTE PAUSE terminal or the AV COMPULINK terminal.

When this function is set to “ON”, you can use this terminal as the AV COMPULINK terminal. By connecting other JVC’s AV COMPULINK components (see the diagram below), including amplifiers (or receivers) and televisions, one touch control of the audio and video components linked via their AV COMPULINK connectors becomes possible.

For example: simply load a cassette in the VCR and press PLAY ( 3 ) so that the AV COMPULINK components automatically turn on, the TV’s AV mode is selected and the VCR starts playback. (You do not have to press PLAY ( 3 ) if the cassette’s record safety tab is removed.)

When this function is set to “OFF”, you can use this terminal as the REMOTE PAUSE terminal (墌 pg. 67).

NOTES:

●

When the remote control code is set to “C” or “D”, the connector cannot be used as AV COMPULINK terminal even if “AV COMPU-LINK” is set to “ON”. It is recommended to set the remote control code to “A” when you use this function. (墌 pg. 71).

●

Connection varies depending on the type of JVC TV you have. Refer to the TV’s instruction manual when making this connection.

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. The logo is used for products compliant with the i.Link standard.

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.

i.LINK cable

A B 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 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.

Good connection examples

(A to D: i.LINK-compatible devices) The connections below do not form a loop.

NOTES:

●

You can connect as many as 63 devices (including this VCR) through an i.LINK connection. If you use a branched i.LINK connection, however, the maximum path length on a branch is 17 devices.

●

In the case of a personal computer and some other devices, data is not passed along by those devices if the device power is off. For details, refer to the instruction manual for the connected device. Furthermore, data is not passed along by this VCR when "POWER SAVE" is set to "ON" on this VCR ( pg. 57) and the VCR is turned off.

●

The maximum data transfer speed supported by the i.LINK connector on this VCR is 400Mbps (approximately 400 megabits per

second). The maximum data transfer speed that is actually attained may be slower depending on how this VCR is used or if a device with a slower transfer speed is connected to this VCR.

●

Use the S400 i.LINK cable.

●

Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be performed at the same time.

●

If the “L-1” blinks quickly on the front display panel in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode (even though your DBS receiver is turned off), Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” ( pg. 38) to timer-record a satellite program. (Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.)

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.

You can use a camcorder as the playback device and

your VCR as the recording VCR.

Remote Control Code

EN 71

The Remote is capable of controlling four JVC video recorders independently. Each of VCRs can respond to one of four codes (A, B, C or D). This Remote control is preset to send A code signals because your VCR is initially set to respond to A code signals. You can easily change your Remote and the VCR to send and respond to B, C or D code signals. When using four JVC VCRs, set four VCRs and their Remotes to different codes, so that the Remotes can operate these VCRs separately.
