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.
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
INSTALLATION
1. Grounding or Polarization
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.
(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.
2. Lightning
(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.
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
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.
2. Power Sources
Operate your product only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your product dealer or local power company.
If your product is intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
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.

LEAD IN WIRE
GROUND CLAMP
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.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the VCR, Remote 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.
… on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the VCR’s ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or Remote.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the VCR or Remote.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with
water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.
8. AVOID violent shocks to the VCR during transport.
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 let the moisture evaporate.
ABOUT HEAD CLEANING
After an extended period of use, the video heads can become dirty, resulting in a loss of picture or sound during
playback. If this happens, clean the video heads by using the optional cleaning tapes.
The heads get dirty in the following cases:
•in an environment prone to extreme temperature or humidity.
•in a dusty environment.
•flaw, dirt or mold on video tapes.
•continuous usage for a long time.
Symptoms of dirty video heads:
•The picture is not clear, or does not
appear. There is no sound.
VHS playback
•Mosaic (block) noise appears in the
picture.
•Black or mosaic horizontal stripes appear
in the picture.
•The picture stops (as if the tape is paused).
•A blank black or blue screen appears.
•The picture is fuzzy. (VHS playback)
Late symptom
Still image
Early symptom
D-VHS playback
Block noise
Black screen
Use a cleaning tape designed specifically for D-VHS video heads (JVC D-VHS video head cleaner DFC-2) to clean the
video heads.
•In order to avoid misoperation, set “NAVIGATION” to “OFF” (A page 52).
•Follow the instructions that are provided with the cleaning tape.
If you still do not get a clear picture after using a cleaning tape:
•The heads may be worn. Contact your nearest JVC dealer.
•During VHS playback, if there is a tracking problem, the picture may appear fuzzy. Adjust the tracking manually (A
page 30).
ATTENTION:
To mobile phone users:
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the VCR may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a blue back
display.
On placing the VCR:
Some TVs or other appliances generates strong magnetic fields. Do not place such appliance on top of the VCR as it may cause
picture disturbance.

INITIAL SETTINGS
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
A Perform Plug & Play setup
ATTENTION:
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR
• If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set
the clock and tuner channels separately. (A page 17 - 21)
• It takes several minutes for the VCR to complete the Plug &
Play setting.
(A page 13). 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.
• Do not press any buttons on the front panel or on the
Remote while Plug & Play is in progress.
NOTES:
•When AC cord is connected to an AC outlet,
[LOADING] appears on the front display panel. It
takes some time until VCR completes its setup.
•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 (A page 17) and tuner (A page
20) settings. If, however, you want to add or delete
channels, refer to Manual Channel Set on page 21.
CH
During Initial Auto Clock Set
[AUTO] blinks.
Plug & Play Completed
The current time is
displayed. ([PM] lights
up during the afternoon.)
During Auto Channel Set
The channel numbers are
displayed as they are
scanned and set.
* 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 17, 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, 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 (A page 18)
or Manual Clock Set (A page 19) 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 (A page 18) or Manual Clock Set (A page 19) 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
(A page 19) and Auto Channel Set or Manual Channel Set (A page 20 or 21).

INITIAL SETTING (cont.)
The following procedure is required if you receive your
TV channels through a cable box (descrambler). The
Controller allows the VCR to automatically switch the
cable box channel during timer recording. The Controller
is effective for recording broadcasts that have been
programmed using VCR Plus+ (A page 40) or Express
timer programming (A page 44).

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 number during timer recording.
Each method must be set up separately. To set up the
VCR’s Remote, refer to page 77. To set up the
Controller, go to page 23.

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
Suggested location
NOTES:
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.
• The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver channels
using the Controller when the VCR has been programmed
using Express timer programming (A page 44).
Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode, the
Controller cannot change the DBS receiver channels during
VCR Plus+ timer recording. (You can also use ‘Satellite Auto
Recording’ (A page 47) if your DBS receiver is equipped with
a timer.)
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.
• 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 IN] terminal.

the power failure, the following will take place.
1. This VCR starts Auto Clock Set automatically to restore the
clock time.
2. If the clock time is restored correctly and “AUTO TIMER”
is set to “ON”, each timer program you have made will
start at its start time unless its end time has elapsed.

TIMER RECORDING (cont.)
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 (A page 41 step E ). When this happens, perform
the following steps to set the correct guide channel number
for that station.
®
•Turn on the VCR and the TV, and select the AV
mode on the TV.
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.
•Set the [VCR/TV/CABLE/DBS] selector on the
Remote to [VCR].
VCR Plus+ guide channel matching
The VCR Plus+ programming 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+
programming, the VCR Plus+ guide channel number for
each station should match the channel number on which
it is received in your area.
VCR
CABLE
TV
/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
listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

Video settings “ VIDEO FUNCTION”
*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.
L “V.
CALIBRATION”
(S-VHS/VHS only)
“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 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 “ON”
or “OFF” whichever gives you the best picture.
This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your
preference.
L “PICTURE
CONTROL”
(S-VHS/VHS only)
“AUTO” (“NORM”)
“EDIT”
“AUTO” : Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted automatically.
(“NORM”) When “V. CALIBRATION” is “OFF”, “NORM” will appear instead of
“AUTO”. The quality is not adjusted automatically when “NORM”
appears.
“SOFT”
“EDIT”
: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and playback).
“SHARP”
“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 (A page 74). After you finish editing the tapes, select
“AUTO” (“NORM” when “V. CALIBRATION” is “OFF”).
When this function is set to “ON”, you can correct vertical vibrations in the picture
when playing back unstable recordings made on another VCR.
L “VIDEO
STABILIZER”
(S-VHS/VHS only)
“ON”
This function is available only when playing back tapes recorded in EP mode.
NOTES:
“OFF”
• 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.
• To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to “OFF”.
• When this function is set to “ON”, the vertical vibrations may occur. Press [CHANNEL +] or [–]
on the VCR (or [TV/VCR CH +] or [–] on the Remote) to eliminate vibration.

you record in MP2 format.
“PCM&STANDARD”
“PCM&STANDARD” : Select this when the sound quality is important.
When you record the analog signals or DV signals from the
camcorder in STD mode, PCM audio is also recorded in
addition to MP2 audio. In HS mode, PCM audio is
automatically recorded.
Up to four audio signal channels can be input from a DV camcorder through the DV IN
connector (i.LINK). This VCR allows you to select and record two of these channels.
This setting is used to specify which two channels to record.
L “DV AUDIO REC”
“AUDIO1”
“AUDIO2”
“1+2MIX”
When there are four DV audio channels (32 kHz):
“AUDIO1” : Records the two channels (L/R) of DV AUDIO 1.
“AUDIO2”
“1+2MIX”
: Records the two channels (L/R) of DV AUDIO 2.
: Mixes and records both DV AUDIO 1 and 2.
When there are two DV audio channels (48 kHz):
Because there are only two channels, those two channels are recorded regardless of the
DV sound setting.
This VCR can send the Dolby Digital bitstream or PCM Audio to external devices.
When you play back a tape including the Dolby Digital bitstream, and if you have a
device equipped with Dolby Digital decoder, set this function to “Dolby D”.

*The default setting is bold in the table below.
When this function is set to “ON”, you can reduce the power consumption. While the
VCR is turned off, the front display panel does not show the clock.
When this function is set to “ON”, an i.LINK device cannot be recognized. As a result, it
is not possible to record a program using the digital tuner’s* timer function. In addition
the device does not pass along data if it is in a branched connection.
L “POWER SAVE”
“ON”
“OFF”
*For details of a digital tuner, refer to the instruction manual of the digital tuner.
NOTE:
It takes some time until VCR completes its set up when you turn on the VCR.
You can determine which recording mode - either S-VHS mode or VHS mode - is used

• 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 (A page 68).
The [REMOTE PAUSE/AV COMPULINK] terminal on the rear panel can be used as
either the [REMOTE PAUSE] terminal or the [AV COMPULINK] terminal.
When this function is set to “ON”, you can use this terminal as the [AV COMPULINK]
terminal.
L “AV COMPU-
LINK”
“ON”
“OFF”
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 (I)] 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 (I)] 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 (A page 75).

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 A logo is used for products compliant
with the i.Link standard.
Good connection examples
(A to D: i.LINK-compatible devices)
The connections below do not form a loop
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.

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.

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 (A page 67) and the VCR is
turned off.
• The maximum data transfer speed supported by the i.LINK connector on this VCR is 400 Mbps (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 commercially available i.LINK cable (4-pin, S400, below 3 m).
If the cable used is above 3 m, this VCR will not fully maximize its performance.

EDITING
This VCR supports the copy protection technologies of
DTLA (Digital Transmission Licensing Administrator).
These technologies are admitted by DTLA .
It is impossible to dub copy-limited signals between
the devices which supports copy protection
technologies of DTLA. It is impossible to dub to other
tapes the program which only one recording is
permitted.
When connecting to other devices, only the operation
of the devices which supports DTLA is guaranteed.
The operation of non-DTLA-supported devices is not
guaranteed.
i.LINK/DV
Connections
NOTES:
• You cannot use the i.LINK connection depending on the type
of camcorder equipped with the DV connector. In this case,
set “LINC” to “OFF” (A page 70).
• If the 44.1 kHz PCM audio signal is input via DV connector,
recording cannot be performed properly.
• During DV input, the image format output to the TV will be
480i even if “TV OUTPUT 2” is set to “ALLto480p” (A page
65) or “480i to 480p” is set to “ON” (A page 65). The status
(ON/OFF) of HDMI is also disregarded, however, if the HDMI
at the TV supports image format other than 480i, the HDMI
output will be muted. The menu settings and the HDMI status
will be retained and changes can be made.
B You can use your VCR as the playback or
recording VCR.
E.g. When using this VCR as the recording VCR
If you are using a TV with DVI input, and it does not support
480i image format, use the TV’s analog input instead.

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.

MULTI-BRAND REMOTE CONTROL (cont.)
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 the 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.
• After you press [PLAY (I)], it takes a moment until you
see the image and hear the sound.
• After you switch playback speeds (when switching from
special effect playback to normal playback, for
example), it takes a moment until you see the image
and hear the sound. For a few seconds, the image may
be played back out of sync with the sound.
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 camcorder’s 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.
• 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 appear 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.
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.

GLOSSARY
Glossary
Digital Broadcasts and D-VHS
HDCP
Abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection. HDCP is a specification originally developed
by Intel Corporation to enforce copyrights of digital
entertainment content across the DVI interface, and now
across the HDMI interface as well.
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.
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.
HDMI
Abbreviation for High-definition Digital Multimedia
Interface. HDMI which was built on the foundation of
DVI-HDCP, transmits uncompressed high definition
video and multichannel digital audio in a single cable
with a maximum data transfer speed of 5Gbits/sec. HDMI
eliminates the maze of cables behind entertainment
systems while maintaining backward compatibility with
DVI-HDCP devices.
HDMI supports uncompressed standard, enhanced and
high definition video format as well as compressed audio
formats such as Dolby Digital, DTS and uncompressed
format such as PCM etc. In addition, it also supports the
HDCP standard of digital video signals.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia
Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI
Licensing LLC.
i.LINK
Dolby Digital
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.
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).
i.Link refers to the IEEE1394-1995 industry specification and
extensions thereof. The A logo is used for products compliant
with the i.Link standard.
When you play back a digital tape encoded in Dolby
Digital format, the Dolby Digital bitstream is sent from
the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL connector.
Set “OPTICAL OUT” to “Dolby D” (A page 64).
Linear PCM Audio
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.)

DTS
MPEG2
Abbreviation for Digital Theater Systems. A digital
surround sound system for theaters, developed by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc, of the United States. The encoding
format, similar to Dolby Digital, is configured with six
(5.1) channels. The sound data is compressed when it is
recorded on the medium (CD-ROM), however since the
level of compression is low, superior clarity and depth in
sound is achieved.
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.
As this VCR is not equipped with a DTS decoder, connect
the [OPTICAL] terminal to an AV amplifier with built-in
DTS and set “OPTICAL OUT” to “STREAM” (A page 64)
to output digital surround sound.

Inc.
