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.

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:  
When the AC power cord is connected to an AC  
outlet, LOADappears on the front display panel. It  
takes some time until VCR completes its set up.

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.  
During Auto Channel Set  
The channel numbers are displayed  
as they are scanned and set.

The current time is  
displayed. (PMlights up  
during the afternoon.)  
During Initial Auto Clock Set  
Autoblinks.  
* If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed”  
below.  
INFORMATION  
If AUTO CLOCKis set to ONon 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 CLOCKis 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.  
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).

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

The Controller may not work with all types of cable box.  
If your cable box does not respond to any code, you cannot  
use the Controller to change cable box channels. In this case,  
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 (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 input channel and brand again.  
For customers in U.S.A.: If you are unable to set the  
Controller, contact your Marantz authorized dealer.

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. 62) 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.

case, make sure to leave the DBS receiver turned on and  
tuned to the proper channel before the scheduled start time of  
timer recording. In addition, if your DBS receiver is equipped  
with a timer, you can also use “Satellite Auto Recording”  
(pg. 62).

The VCR can only change the satellite channel through the  
Controller during timer recording.  
If your DBS receiver cannot be operated with a Remote  
(because it has no remote sensor), you cannot use the  
Controller to change its channels. Make sure to leave the DBS  
receiver turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the  
scheduled start time of timer recording.  
For customers in U.S.A.: If you are unable to set the  
Controller, contact your Marantz authorized dealer.

TIMER RECORDING  
34  
EN  
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  
numbers next to the program in most TV listing.)

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.  
Set the VCR/TV/CABLE/DBS selector on the  
Remote to “VCR”.  
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.  
VCR  
TV  
CABLE  
/DBS  
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

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, 50 min for the D-VHS (LS5)  
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.  
During playback or when searching for the beginning of a program, a VCR might find two different tape numbers recorded on a  
tape. After you remove this tape, the tape will be assigned just one tape number (the smaller one). After this, the higher tape  
number will be missing from the memory’s tape number list.  
Tape program information is stored in this VCR’s memory. If this VCR’s memory is damaged and the program information is 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.

When you record a TV program on this VCR, the VCR  
automatically records the recording start time, date, and  
channel in each program title. If the tape is recorded for  
the first time, the tape number and the date and time are

and the program titles as you like. You can also edit the  
category in the program title.  
Editing Titles  
Turn on the VCR and the TV, and select the AV  
mode on the TV.  
Set the VCR/TV/CABLE/DBS selector on the

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 ONor OFFwhichever gives you the best picture.  
This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according  
to your preference.

NOTES:  
Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with  
DIGITAL R3set to OFF.  
If you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing, be sure to set DIGITAL  
R3to OFFbefore starting.  
When this function is set to ON, you can correct vertical vibrations in  
the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another  
VCR.

* The default setting is bold in the table below.  
You can determine which recording mode either S-VHS mode or VHS mode is  
S-VHS MODE  
used for recording on D-VHS and S-VHS tapes.  
ON  
OFF  
When this function is set to ON, you can record on D-VHS and S-VHS tapes with  
S-VHS picture quality.  
When this function is set to OFF, you can record on D-VHS and  
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. 59).  
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 JVCs 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 TVs AV mode is selected and the VCR starts playback. (You  
do not have to press PLAY ( 3 ) if the cassettes record safety tab is removed.)  
When this function is set to OFF, you can use this terminal as the REMOTE PAUSE  
terminal (pg. 67).  
NOTES:  
When the remote control code is set to Cor D, the connector cannot be used as AV  
COMPULINK terminal even if AV COMPU-LINKis set to ON. It is recommended to set the  
remote control code to Awhen you use this function. (pg. 71).  
Connection varies depending on the type of JVC TV you have. Refer to the TVs instruction manual  
when making this connection.

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. 31), 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.

What is “i.LINK”?  
i.LINK Connection Examples  
i.LINKis 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.

in the chain.

NOTES:  
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.

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.

The Remote is capable of controlling four JVC video  
recorders independently. Each of VCRs can respond to  
one of four codes (A, B, C or D).  
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 change your Remote and the VCR  
to send and respond to B, C or D code signals.  
When using four JVC VCRs, set four VCRs and their  
Remotes to different codes, so that the Remotes can  
operate these VCRs separately.

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.  
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 camcorders, 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Digital Broadcasts and D-VHS  
Dolby Digital  
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 high-  
definition video, outstanding sound quality, multiple  
channels, and multiple features.  
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.  
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.

i.LINK  
i.LINKis 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  
Linear PCM Audio  
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.  
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.)
