ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY  
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.  
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But improper  
use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. This  
product has been engineered and manufactured to assure your  
personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in safeguards,  
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and  
servicing.  
2. Lightning  
ATTENTION:  
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.  
Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your product  
and its operating instructions. For your safety, please read all the safety  
and operating instructions before you operate this product and keep  
this booklet for future reference.  
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.  
INSTALLATION  
1. Grounding or Polarization  
(A)Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-  
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).  
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a  
safety feature.  
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try  
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your  
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the  
safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
(B)Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type  
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit  
into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature.  
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your  
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the  
safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.  
2. Power Sources  
Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated  
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power  
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power  
company. If your product is intended to operate from battery power,  
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.  
3. Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral  
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or  
electric shock.  
4. Power Cord Protection  
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to  
be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,  
paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.  
5. Ventilation  
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To  
ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from  
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.  
Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug  
or other similar surface.  
Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase  
or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s  
instructions have been adhered to.  
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting  
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as  
recommended by the manufacturer.

may hinder proper playback and recording.  
2 Place the disc.  
Place the disc on the disc tray  
with the label side facing up.  
Since disc size changes  
Storage  
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on  
top of one another without their protective cases, they can be  
damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be  
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or  
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!  
depending on the disc to be  
played back, be sure to correctly  
align the disc with the grooves for  
its size. If the disc is not in its  
groove, it may be scratched or  
otherwise damaged.  
Disc tray  
Maintenance of discs  
To insert an 8 cm disc, place it  
according to the inner groove.  
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering  
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving  
from the centre outwards.  
Tray Lock (DVD Deck Only)  
You can lock the disc tray to prohibit the unwanted disc ejection by  
children.  
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth  
moistened with water. Never use record  
cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static  
agents.  
Turn off the unit.  
CAUTION:  
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may  
be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up  
to industry standards.)  
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction  
of the unit.

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.  
NOTES:  
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 unit. During Auto Channel Set,  
the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.  
When Plug & Play setting has been completed successfully, the  
correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting  
successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set” (pg. 21) and  
Tuner Set” (pg. 22). If, however, you want to add or delete  
channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set” (pg. 22).  
ATTENTION:  
If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock  
and tuner channels separately. (pg. 21 – 22)  
Depending on areas or reception conditions, the unit may not  
receive the Auto clock setting data from the 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.

During Auto Channel Set  
The channel numbers are displayed and “AUTO” blinks as they  
are scanned and set.  
INFORMATION  
If “AUTO CLOCK ” is set to “ON” (pg. 21), 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 unit 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”. (pg. 21)  
Plug&Play Completed  
The current time is displayed.  
If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the front display  
panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” (pg. 19).  
If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or  
because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be  
performed when power is restored to the unit.  
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 “Semiauto Clock Set” (pg. 21) or  
“Manual Clock Set” (pg. 21).  
If “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable  
may not be connected to the unit 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 unit; 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. 21) and “Auto Channel Set”  
(pg. 22) or “Manual Channel Set” (pg. 22).

NOTES:  
Recording Mode  
It is recommended to format a DVD-RAM disc before use if  
you use the disc on this unit for the first time.  
When using a brand-new DVD-RW disc, format the disc  
either in VR mode or in Video mode. (pg. 74)  
Recordings made on DVD-R/RW disc must be finalized to  
play back on other DVD players. Perform “Finalize A Disc  
(DVD Deck Only)” (pg. 75).  
MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture  
quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can be  
recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture  
quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording.  
Select XP or SP for programs where quick movement occurs, such  
as sports programs, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with  
relatively less movement.  
The recording modes for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:

points are deleted.  
When the unit memorizes a resume point for a disc, it also  
remembers audio language, subtitle and angle settings.  
This function may not work for some Video CDs.  
When “RESUME” is changed to “ON” or “OFF” (pg. 72), resume

NOTES:  
You can program this unit to timer-record, regardless of the disc  
remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough,  
recording may stop in the middle of a program. To avoid this, make  
sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer programing.  
(Example) If you programed to timer-record for 60 minutes in SP  
mode on a 120-minute disc, the disc remaining time would be 30  
minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes in LP  
mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240 minutes in FR480 mode.  
Timer-recording will not complete beyond these remaining times.  
The maximum recording time of “FR (JUST)”mode is the same as the  
recording time of FR480 mode. When timer programing a long  
program in “FR (JUST)”mode on a disc whose remaining time is  
short, it is recommended to check the disc remaining time in FR480  
mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the program.  
Even if more than one program are timer programed in “FR (JUST)”  
mode, only the first one is recorded.  
DISPLAY  
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature may  
leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.  
There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the  
disc where the unit switches the mode.

By pressing the DISPLAY button, you can change display to show  
the clock time, counter reading or tape remaining time.  
NOTE:  
If you have a JVC TV, following operations are possible with this remote  
control. For other manufacturer’s TVs, use the TV’s remote control.  
NOTE:  
Depending on the type of tape being used, the tape remaining time  
reading may not appear right away, or is not correct.  
“– –:– –” may sometimes appear, or the display may blink on occasion.

Second Audio Recording  
This unit’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel  
TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program received, set “2ND  
AUDIO RECORD” to “ON”. (pg. 71)  
Instant Timer Recording (ITR)  
This easy method lets you record for from 30 minutes to 6 hours  
(selectable in 30-minutes interval), and shuts the unit off after  
recording is finished.  
NOTE:  
1 Press 7 on the unit to start recording.  
When the channel is changed on the unit;  
2 Press 7 again to engage the ITR mode.  
The “ST” appears on the front display panel for about 5 seconds if the  
program is a stereo broadcast.  
On the front display panel, “0:30” appears.  
The “SAP” appears on the front display panel for about 5 seconds if  
the program is a SAP broadcast.  
Both appear when a stereo program is accompanied by SAP sound.  
3 If you want to record for more than 30 minutes, press 7 to  
extend the time. Each press extends recording time by 30 minutes.  
NOTES:  
You can only perform ITR using the 7 button on the unit.  
When the end of the tape is reached during timer recording or Instant  
Timer Recording, the cassette is automatically ejected and the unit is  
shut off.  
During Instant Timer Recording, any other timer programed recording  
won’t start even if their start time has come. In such a case, the timer  
programed recording starts (if the end time of the timer programed  
recording is set after the end of Instant Timer Recording) after the  
Instant Timer Recording finishes.  
Active Video Calibration  
The Video Calibration checks the condition of the tape in use  
during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the  
highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You can set  
“VIDEO CALIBRATION” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference.  
(pg. 73)

playback.  
The counter is reset to “0:00:00” and shows the exact elapsed time  
as the tape runs. You can check the exact time of a recording or  
playback.  
The unit spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of  
the tape, then begins recording.  
ATTENTION:  
Since the Video Calibration works before recording actually  
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7 and  
4 on the remote control are pressed, or 7 on the unit is  
pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or program  
in its entirety, first perform the following steps:  
A Press and hold 9 and press 7 to engage the Record Pause  
mode.  
The unit then automatically checks the condition of the tape and,  
after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters Record Pause mode.  
B Press 4 to start recording.  
If you want to bypass the Video Calibration and begin recording  
immediately, set “VIDEO CALIBRATION” to “OFF”. (pg. 73)
