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

+

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.

				as they are scanned and set.			displayed. (“PM” lights up
							during the afternoon.)

*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.

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.

DO NOT forget to put the VCR into timer recording standby mode again by pressing TIMER (‰) after you use the VCR; otherwise, you cannot record the broadcasts you want.

●When “AUTO TIMER” ( pg. 57) 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.

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 in step 5. When this happens, set the correct guide channel number for that station. ( pg. 36, “Changing VCR Plus+ Setting”)

NOTES:

●Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer programs. However, the clock time is lost if it lasts for more than 10 minutes.

As a result, when the power is supplied again to this VCR after the power failure, the following will take place.

1.This VCR starts Auto Clock Set automatically to restore the clock time.

2.If the clock time is restored correctly and “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON”, each timer program you have made will start at its start time unless its end time has elapsed.

●If the tape reaches its end during timer recording, “‰”, “”, and “ #” blink.

●To timer-record cable channels received through a cable box, be sure to keep the cable box turned on.

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 (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.

Audio settings [AUDIO FUNCTION]

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

	STD AUDIO REC MODE	You can select the audio format when you record a program or
	STANDARD	analog signal from connected devices in STD mode. When this
		function is set to “PCM&STANDARD”, you can obtain high-quality
	PCM&STANDARD
		audio sound.
		STANDARD:	Select this when the picture quality is important
			and when you record in MP2 format.
		PCM&STANDARD: Select this when the sound quality is important.
			When you record the analog signals or DV signals
			from the camcorder in STD mode, PCM audio is
			also recorded in addition to MP2 audio. In HS
			mode, PCM audio is automatically recorded.
	DV AUDIO REC	Up to four audio signal channels can be input from a DV camcorder
	AUDIO1	through the DV IN connector (i.LINK). This VCR allows you to select
	AUDIO2	and record two of these channels. This setting is used to specify which
		two channels to record.
	1+2MIX
		When there are four DV audio channels (32kHz):
		AUDIO1: Records the two channels (L/R) of DV AUDIO 1.
		AUDIO2: Records the two channels (L/R) of DV AUDIO 2.
		1+2MIX: Mixes and records both DV AUDIO 1 and 2.
		When there are two DV audio channels (48kHz):
		Because there are only two channels, those two channels are recorded
		regardless of the DV sound setting.
	OPTICAL OUT	This VCR can send the Dolby Digital bitstream or PCM Audio to external
	Dolby D	devices.
	2CH-PCM	When you play back a tape including the Dolby Digital bitstream, and if
		you have a device equipped with Dolby Digital decoder, set this
	STREAM
		function to “Dolby D”.
		If not, set this function to “2CH-PCM”.
		“STREAM” will be used when playing back and receiving a audio signals

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.

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 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.

●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.

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.

Questions and answers

PLAYBACK

Q. What happens if the tape reaches its end during playback or search?

A. The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Q.Can the VCR indefinitely remain in still mode?

A.No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect

the heads.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Q.During picture search, still picture playback and frame-by-frame playback, the picture is intermittent. What’s the cause?

A.Picture loss occurs when these types of playback are attempted with a tape recorded in LP mode. Pressing PLAY ( 3 ) to return to normal playback will restore

the picture.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Q. When returning from variable-speed picture search to normal playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be concerned about this?

A. No, it is normal.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
