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  
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.  
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.

EN  
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.

Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (pg.  
ATTENTION

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.

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).  
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.  
a- Input Selection (channel or auxiliary input; L-1 or F-1)  
b- Recording tape speed (pg. 19)

We recommend that you use the Digital TBC/NR  
function when...  
— playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.  
— playing back a tape repeatedly used.  
— using this VCR as the player for editing.  
Other Useful functions for playback  
Playback Resume Function  
Press DIGITAL TBC/NR on the front panel so that the  
DIGITAL TBC/NR lamp lights up.  
Each time you press the button, this function turns on  
and off.  
If there is a power outage during normal playback (or  
Series Playback), the playback will resume automatically  
when the power is restored to the VCR. (No setting is  
required for this function.)  
NOTES:  
Video Calibration (pg. 38)  
If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception  
condition, the picture may happen to become more stable  
with Digital TBC/NR activated.  
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.  
If you play back a tape on which certain types of signals  
(using a PC or some character generators) have been recorded  
with Digital TBC/NR activated, the playback picture may be  
distorted. In this case, deactivate Digital TBC/NR.  
Picture Control (pg. 38)  
Digital TBC/NR and Video Stabilizer (pg. 39) cannot be  
used at the same time; if you turn on Digital TBC/NR when  
“VIDEO STABILIZER” is set to “ON”, Video Stabilizer will be  
automatically turned “OFF”. Make sure Digital TBC/NR is  
deactivated when you want to use Video Stabilizer.  
This function helps you to adjust the playback picture  
quality according to your preference.  
Video Stabilizer (pg. 39)  
You can automatically correct vertical vibrations in the  
picture when playing back unstable recordings made on  
another VCR.

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.

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.

* 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.  
VIDEO CALIBRATION  
ON  
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 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  
AUTO (NORM): Normally select  
this. Picture quality is  
NOTES:

When “VIDEO  
CALIBRATION” is “OFF”,  
“NORM” will appear instead  
of “AUTO”.  
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. 45, 46, and 49). After you  
finish editing the tapes, select “AUTO” (“NORM” when “VIDEO  
CALIBRATION” is “OFF”.)  
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.  
When this function is set to “ON”:

NOTES:  
When you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing a tape, be sure to set this

If you select a channel on which no signal is received, the channel number is  
displayed regardless of this function setting.  
The setting you have made is kept in memory. Even if the VCR is unplugged or the  
power failure occurs, it will resume every time you turn on the VCR. (pg. 9)  
AUTO SP = EP TIMER  
When this function is set to “ON”, the VCR automatically switches to EP  
mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the  
entire program while timer-recording in SP mode.  
ON  
OFF  
For Example . . .  
Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-minute tape  
Approximately 110 minutes  
SP mode  
Approximately 30 minutes  
EP mode  
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 tape speed manually during timer  
programing.  
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this function may leave a slight  
non-recorded portion at the end of the tape.  
There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the tape speed switches from  
SP to EP mode on the tape.  
This function will not 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”, edge correction to the luminance signal is  
performed to enhance details. Normally set this function to “ON”.  
DIGITAL R3  
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.  
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.  
VIDEO STABILIZER

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”.

• 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  
recommended 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. 41).  
You have to select which terminal — either VIDEO (composite) or S  
VIDEO (Y/C separate signals) — to use as the video input terminal on the  
front panel.

* The default setting is bold in the table below.  
This function allows you to record on VHS tapes with S-VHS picture  
quality. Tapes recorded using this function can be played back on a VCR  
equipped with the S-VHS ET function. The S-VHS indicator lights up on  
the front display panel when "S-VHS ET" is set to "ON".  
S-VHS ET  
ON  
OFF  
NOTES:  
Before recording, make sure that “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is set to “ON”. (pg. 37,  
38)  
You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function...  
– while recording is in progress.  
– while timer-recording is in progress.  
– while Video Calibration (pg. 38) is in progress.  
S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.  
To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long period of  
time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tapes is recommended.  
Use of high grade tapes are recommended for S-VHS ET recordings.  
On some tapes, picture quality will not improves even if the S-VHS ET function is  
used. Check the recording quality before you start important recordings.  
You can play back S-VHS ET recordings on most of S-VHS VCRs and of VHS VCR  
equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice some VCRs are  
not compatible with this function.)  
While playing back a tape recorded with this function on some tapes, noise may  
appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)  
During special effect playback (pg. 26), noise may appear. If special effect  
playback is performed frequently on a tape recorded with this function, the tape may  
be damaged and picture may be deteriorated.  
Returning point for Playback, Repeat Play or Series Playback can be set  
to tape end or recording end. (This VCR considers 1-second unrecorded  
portion as the recording end.) When the returning point is reached,  
playback stops and the cassette will be automatically rewound.  
RETURN POINT  
TAPE END: Playback stops at the  
end of tape.  
REC END: Playback stops at the  
end of the recording.  
NOTE:  
The setting you have made is kept in memory. Even if the VCR is unplugged or the  
power failure occurs, it will resume every time you turn on the VCR. (pg. 9)  
When this function is set to "ON", you can record Month/Day/Year and  
clock time display (pg. 61) with your picture.

the power failure occurs, it will resume every time you turn on the VCR.  
(pg. 9)  
This function is not available during Audio Dubbing or Insert Editing.  
Usually, you can only record onto a cassette with its record safety tab  
intact. When the this function is set to “OFF”, recording can be done  
onto a cassette whose record safety tab is removed.

When "REC SAFETY" is set to "OFF", playback does not start automatically when  
you insert a cassette with its record safety tab removed. (pg. 15)  
When you set daily timer recording, you can use one cassette repeatedly.  
If you select "AUTO REW", the VCR rewinds tape each time after timer  
recording and the timer mode is engaged.  
If you select "NORM", the VCR turns off after timer recording. Rewinds  
the tape or replace it, and engage timer recording standby mode

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. 37, 38)  
If you turn off this VCR while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress, recording stops.  
Video Calibration (pg. 38) 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 even though the REC LINK lamp blinks. When you turn off and on the DBS receiver once again, the VCR starts  
recording.  
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 REC LINK lamp does not light but blinks quickly 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. 32) 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 (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.

This Remote is capable of transmitting two control  
codes; one set to respond to A code control signals and  
another set to respond to B code control signals.  
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 modify your VCR and the Remote  
to respond to B code control signals.  
When using two JVC VCRs, set two VCRs and their  
Remotes to different codes, so that you can operate these  
VCRs separately.

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.  
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 cord back in. Eject and check the condition of the cassette. If everything appears normal, you can operate  
the VCR as usual.

receivers.  
Point the Remote toward the remote sensor on the target component.  
The maximum operating distance of the remote control is about 8 m.  
NOTE:  
If the Remote does not work properly, remove its batteries, wait for a few seconds, replace the batteries and then try again.
