IMPORTANT PRODUCT  
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
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

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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
3. Power Lines  
2. Power Sources  
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.  
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  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER  
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral  
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or  
electric shock.  
ANTENNA  
LEAD IN WIRE  
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.

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 control.  
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 ground wave 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.  
You can also use the TV/VCR button on the VCR's remote  
control to set your TV to the AV mode. (pg. 66)  
When you play back the picture of 1080i, 720p, 480p image  
format, the signal is not output from the S-VIDEO or VIDEO

INITIAL SETTINGS  
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.  
Plug & Play  
Setting  
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set  
Perform Plug & Play setup  
1
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR  
ATTENTION  
(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.  
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.  
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  
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, and use the ghost reduction function,  
refer to Manual Channel Set on page 14.  
Plug & Play Completed  
The current time (including  
AM/PM) is displayed.  
During Auto Channel Set  
The channel numbers are displayed  
as they are scanned and set.  
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.  
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, Plug & Play 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 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.  
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).

NOTES:  
The Controller may not work with all types of cable box.

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 control  
(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 output channel and brand again.  
For customers in U.S.A.: If you are unable to set the

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.  
DBS Receiver  
Control Setting  
NOTES:  
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.  
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.  
(You can also use “Satellite Auto Recording” (pg. 60) 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.  
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.

Timer recording allows you to program the VCR to  
automatically record a broadcast at some future time.  
Up to 24 timer recording programs can be made using  
VCR Plus+ timer programing or Express timer  
programing method (pg. 38) as far as a year in  
advance.  
The VCR Plus+ timer programing system eliminates the  
need to input channel, date, start and stop time data  
when programing timer recording settings. Simply key in  
the PlusCode number for the TV broadcast you wish to  
record and the VCR’s timer will be automatically  
programed. (The PlusCode programing numbers are the

NOTES:  
Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer  
programs. However, the clock time, channel settings, and  
other menu settings are lost if it lasts for more than 3 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 the Plug & Play setting automatically to  
restore the clock time and channel setting.  
2. If the clock time and channel setting are restored correctly,  
each timer program you have made will start at its start  
time unless its end time has elapsed.  
To timer-record cable channels received through a cable box,  
be sure to keep the cable box turned on.  
If “MEMORY FULL” appears on the display when you finish a  
program setting, the VCR’s memory for the Video Navigation  
function is full (pg. 42). This is not related to actual  
recording, so you can finish recording normally, but the Video  
Navigation information such as recording date, start time, end  
time, and channel number will not be stored in memory.

IMPORTANT  
Changing  
VCR Plus+  
Setting  
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.  
Turn on the VCR and the TV, and select the AV  
mode on the TV.  
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. Most TV listings have a  
section, usually a chart, indicating the guide channel  
numbers 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.

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 NAVIGATION while Video Navigation is deactivated, “NAVIGATION: OFF” appears (with “SUPERIMPOSE” set to  
“ON”: pg. 56).  
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, 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.  
If the VCR finds two tape numbers in one tape while playing back or searching for the beginning of a program, the tape will be  
assigned just one number (smaller number) when you remove the tape.  
The program information is stored in this VCR’s memory. Should the memory in this VCR be damaged and the program information  
be 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.

Video settings [VIDEO (VHS)]  
* The default setting is bold in the table below.  
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.  
V, CALIBRATION  
(S-VHS/VHS only)  
ON  
OFF  
NOTES:  
During playback, this function is always working even though “V,  
CALIBRATION” appears just at the beginning of automatic tracking.  
During recording, this function works only for the first EP recording and the first  
SP 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.  
PICTURE CONTROL  
(S-VHS/VHS only)  
AUTO (NORM)  
EDIT  
SOFT  
SHARP  
AUTO: Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted  
(NORM) automatically. When “V, CALIBRATION” is “OFF”,  
“NORM” will appear instead of “AUTO”.  
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. 62, 64). After you finish editing  
the tapes, select “AUTO” (“NORM” when “V, CALIBRATION” is “OFF”.)  
When this function is set to “ON”, edge correction to the luminance  
signal is performed to enhance details. Normally set this function to  
“ON”.  
DIGITAL R3 (S-VHS/VHS only)  
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 automatically correct vertical  
vibrations in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on  
another VCR.  
(S-VHS/VHS only)  
ON  
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.  
The on-screen display may jitter vertically when this function is set to “ON”.  
To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to “OFF”.

* The default setting is bold in the table below.  
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.  
S-VHS MODE  
ON  
OFF

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 (pg. 29).  
The REMOTE PAUSE/AV COMPULINK terminal on the rear panel can be used as either the  
REMOTE PAUSE terminal or the AV COMPULINK terminal.  
AV COMPU-LINK  
ON  
OFF  
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. (pg. 62)

What is “i.LINK?”  
i.LINK Connection Examples  
“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.  
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.  
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.  
Good connection examples

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.

NOTE:  
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.  
Furthermore, data is not passed along by this VCR when “FRONT DISPLAY” is set to “OFF” on this VCR (pg. 56).  
For details, refer to the instruction manual for the connected device.  
The maximum data transfer speed supported by the i.LINK connector on this VCR is 200Mbps (approximately 200 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.

appears on the front display panel (Satellite Auto  
Recording standby mode).  
When signals come into the VCR from the DBS  
receiver, the VCR starts recording (“L-1” blinks  
and the record ( ) indicator lights), and stops  
recording and goes off when signals stop coming  
in.

• Each time you press the button, Satellite Auto  
Recording standby mode turns on and off.  
When it is off, “L-1” disappears.  
IMPORTANT: Be sure not to turn on the DBS receiver  
before the program starts broadcasting; otherwise, the  
VCR will start recording when the DBS receiver is  
turned on.  
NOTES:  
While the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode or after Satellite Auto Recording is finished, the VCR will not enter the timer  
recording standby mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON”. (pg. 56)  
If you turn off this VCR while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress, recording stops.  
Video Calibration (pg. 53) does not work while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.  
Auto Clock (pg. 11) does not work while in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.  
The VCR may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the  
program when Satellite Auto Recording method is used.  
If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode while the DBS receiver is turned on, the VCR will not start Satellite Auto  
Recording, and “Err L-1” appears on the front display panel. When you turn off the DBS receiver, “L-1” appears instead of “Err L-1”  
and the VCR enters the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.  
If you have connected another component other than a DBS receiver (or cable box) to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1)  
connectors, be sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the  
connected component is turned on.  
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.)

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.
