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  
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.  
ATTENTION:  
Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your

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.  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER  
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70  
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.  
ANTENNA  
LEAD IN WIRE  
4. Power Cord Protection  
GROUND CLAMP  
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:  
● The VCR channel is the channel on the TV which will display  
the audio and video signals from the VCR. The VCR's CH3-  
CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to  
CH3 or CH4.  
● The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3 position.  
Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area and  
set the channel on the TV to correspond to the VCR's CH3–  
CH4 switch setting.  
● If you have connected the VCR to the TV using the RF connector,  
you may need to press CH UP and then CH DOWN on the TV  
when switching between the TV and VCR input modes, to  
maintain good picture quality.  
● Even if you are using AV cables to connect your VCR to your  
TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This will  
ensure that you can record one show while watching another  
(੬ pg. 38).  
FINAL PREPARATION FOR  
USE  
Power on the VCR and if you have connected the VCR  
to the TV using the RF connector, select the VCR  
5
channel (3 or 4) by setting the switch on the rear of the  
VCR as shown in the illustration.  
You can now perform simple playback (੬ pg. 22) or  
simple recording (੬ pg. 23).

INFORMATION  
● If "AUTO CLOCK" is set to "ON" at the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host  
channel every hour on the hour (except for 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) by the incoming PBS channel clock  
setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR’s power is turned off. The clock will be  
adjusted on the hour based on the time displayed on the VCR, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of "AUTO  
CLOCK" is "ON".  
● If the memory backup fails, because of a power outage or because the AC was removed from the VCR, Plug & Play will be  
performed when power is restored to the VCR.  
What To Do If Plug & Play Has 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 Semi-Auto (੬ pg. 11) or  
Manual Clock Set (੬ pg. 12) procedure. Auto channel set has already taken place and it need not be set again.  
● If “- -:- -” appears on the display, 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 power on and power off the VCR; the Plug &  
Play function will be automatically reactivated and "Auto" will be displayed on the VCR's front panel. If Plug & Play is not  
performed but the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (੬ pg. 12). Auto channel  
set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure (੬ pg. 13).  
Last-Function Memory  
When the AC is removed from the VCR or when the power failure occurs, your settings for the following functions are kept in  
memory. These settings will resume when the VCR is turned on again.

channels. In this case, make sure to leave the cable box  
turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the  
scheduled start of timer recording.  
Please contact your cable company about the possibility of  
exchanging your current cable box with one that is compatible  
with your VCR.  
● The VCR can only change the cable box channel through the  
Controller during timer recording.  
● If your cable box is one that can’t be operated with a remote  
control (because it has no remote sensor), you can’t use the  
Controller to change its channels. Make sure to leave the

Control  
NOTES:  
● The VCR can automatically change the DBS Receiver channels  
using the Controller when the VCR has been programmed  
using Express Timer Programming (੬ pg. 42).  
Suggested Location  
Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the  
Controller cannot change the DBS Receiver channels during  
VCR Plus+ Timer Recording.  
● If a cable box is also used it is recommended that you  
connect the DBS receiver to your VCR's A/V inputs and the  
cable box to your VCR's antenna input.  
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

NOTES:  
● To obtain the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a longer period on this model, S-VHS recording on S-VHS  
tape is recommended.  
● You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this VCR but also on another VHS VCR equipped with S-VHS ET.

● S-VHS ET recordings can also be played back on an S-VHS VCR or a VHS VCR equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAY-  
BACK) function. However, there may be cases where S-VHS ET playback is not possible on a particular VCR.  
● Frequent still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback may damage the tape and cause picture degradation.  
● With some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is recommended that you do  
test record beforehand to make sure whether better results can be obtained.  
● High Grade tapes are recommended for superior results.  
● Make sure that "VIDEO CALIBRATION" is set to "ON" at the Function screen (੬ pg. 36).  
● During S-VHS ET playback noise may appear depending on tape quality.  
● Noise may appear during still frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback.

TIMER RECORDING

Timer recording allows you to program the VCR to automatically  
record a program that will be broadcast at some future time.  
The timer record function can be programmed using VCR Plus+  
or Express Timer programming up to 8 shows as far as a year in  
advance. (੬ pg. 43 or 47)  
The VCR Plus+ timer programming system eliminates the need  
to input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the  
timer record function. Simply key in the PlusCode number for  
the TV program you wish to record and the VCR's timer will be  
automatically programmed. (The PlusCode programming  
numbers are the numbers next to the program in most TV listing.)

this happens, perform the following steps to set the correct  
the Guide Channel number for that station.  
VCR Plus+  
Setup  
Turn on the TV and select the VCR channel 3 or 4 (or AV  
mode).  
To ensure that VCR Plus+Timer Recording operates correctly it  
is necessary to set the VCR Plus+ "Guide Channel Set " for each  
station. Please read the following information carefully.  
VCR Plus+ Guide Channel Matching  
The VCR Plus+ programming system assigns a VCR Plus+ "Guide  
Channel" to broadcast and cable TV 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+ programming the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel number  
for each station should match the channel number on which it is  
received in your area.  
OK  
JOG  
SHATTLE  
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 broadcast TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check  
your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

NOTES:  
● If you have programmed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more

this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the  
tape speed manually during timer programming.  
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this  
feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of  
the tape.  
● There may be some noise at the point on the tape where the  
VCR switches from SP to EP mode.  
● The Auto SP→EP Timer feature is not available during ITR

ATTENTION  
● Be sure not to turn on the satellite receiver before the  
program is executed; otherwise, the VCR will start  
recording when the satellite receiver's power is turned on.  
● If you have connected another appliance other than a  
satellite receiver to the rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S  
VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors, be sure not to engage the  
Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode; otherwise, the VCR will  
start recording when the connected appliance's power is  
turned on.  
1
● Auto Satellite Prog recording and timer-recording cannot  
be done at the same time.  
NOTES:  
● Auto Satellite Prog recording is only possible with the rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors.  
● When the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged or the VCR's power is turned off after Auto Satellite Prog recording is finished,  
the VCR will not enter the Timer mode even though "AUTO TIMER" is set to "ON".  
● For timer programming of the satellite receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver.  
● Auto Satellite Prog recording is not possible if your satellite receiver does not have a timer.  
● The REC LINK button's light blinks while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.  
● Pressing the VCR's POWER button while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress turns off the VCR's power and disengages the  
Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.  
● If there is more than one satellite program you wish to record with Auto Satellite Prog Recording, it is not possible to set a different  
tape speed for each; the tape speed selected in step 1 will apply to all the programs for Auto Satellite Prog recording.  
● The Active Video Calibration (੬ pg. 36) does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.  
● Auto Clock (੬ pg. 11) does not work when the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged.  
● Depending on the type of satellite receiver, 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.  
● If you engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode when the satellite receiver's power is on, the VCR will not start Auto Satellite Prog  
recording even though the REC LINK button's light blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again,  
the VCR starts recording.  
● You can also record a program from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer and is connected to the VCR's rear  
AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors.  
● When you press the VCR's REC LINK button to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, if the REC LINK button does not light but  
instead blinks quickly even though your satellite receiver's power is off, Auto Satellite Prog Recording will not work properly with  
that satellite receiver*.  
If this is the case, perform "Express Timer Programming" (੬ pg. 47) to timer-record a satellite program.  
* Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Prog Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers.

Advantages Of S-VHS Editing  
S-VHS allows you to make high resolution video  
recordings when dubbing from one VCR to another.  
You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, from S-VHS to VHS, or  
from S-VHS to S-VHS.  
START PLAYER  
● From VHS to S-VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Record  
VHS playback signals in the S-VHS mode. Although the  
picture quality is inherently limited by the original VHS  
source material, the edited tape has better picture quality  
than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.  
● From S-VHS to VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Because  
the picture quality of the source material is very high, the  
edited tape has better picture quality than those made by  
VHS-to-VHS editing.  
● From S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection): A high  
resolution copy is made of a high resolution original S-  
VHS tape with minimal picture degradation. This is the  
preferred method of video dubbing.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
EN  
63  
PLAYBACK  
RECORDING  
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached  
during playback or search?  
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.  
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.  
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the still mode?  
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect  
the heads.  
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-Pause  
mode?  
A. No. The VCR automatically goes to its Stop mode  
after 5 minutes to protect the heads. When paused  
during Instant Timer Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts  
off automatically after 5 minutes.  
Q. During search, still 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 to return to normal playback will restore the  
picture.  
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?  
A. The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.  
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal  
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be  
concerned about this?  
TIMER RECORDING  
Q. REC 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.  
A. No, it is normal.  
Q. When playing back programs that have been timer-  
recorded with consecutive times (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 at the point where the first program ends  
and the second program begins. Is this a  
malfunction?  
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 won't see  
the tape's or broadcast program's picture as it is  
replaced by the on-screen menu. The audio from the  
tape or broadcast program will be present during the  
setting of the timer.  
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.  
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the VCR can’t find  
the program I want to see. Why not?  
A. There may be index codes too close together.  
Q. During playback, on-screen operational indicators  
sometimes jitter. Why does this happen?  
A. If the condition of the tape being played back is not  
good, jittering of the video (including on-screen  
indicators) may occur.

E. & O.E. Design and specifications subject to change without  
notice.  
Failure to heed the following precautions may result  
in damage to the VCR, remote control or video  
cassette.  
1. DO NOT place the VCR . . .  
... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or  
humidity.  
... in direct sunlight.  
... in a dusty environment.  
... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are  
generated.  
**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’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry  
before inserting a tape.  
**ABOUT HEAD CLEANING  
... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.  
2. DO NOT block the VCR’s ventilation openings.  
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or remote  
control.  
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.  
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the
