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.

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.

Index ( pg. 38).  
The clock and tuner channels will  
automatically be set when the antenna is  
connected and when the AC power cord is first  
connected to an AC power outlet (pg. 8).  
(If “Auto” or “CH” is displayed on the front display  
panel before the VCR is turned on, the clock and  
tuner channels are being set automatically. Wait  
until the clock time is displayed on the front display  
panel before turning on the VCR.)

INITIAL SETTINGS

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.  
Plug & Play  
Setting  
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set  
Perform Plug & Play setup  
1
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (pg.  
ATTENTION  
6). Then connect the AC power cord to an AC  
outlet. Do not turn on the VCR.  
The clock and tuner channels will be set  
automatically.  
If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set  
the clock and tuner channels separately. (pg.10 – 14)  
It takes several minutes for the VCR to complete the Plug  
& Play setting.  
Do not press any buttons on the front panel or on the  
Remote while Plug & Play is in progress.  
NOTES:  
Auto Clock Set is performed first.  
“Auto” blinks on the front display panel during Auto  
Clock Set.  
Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel  
Set scans all the channels that are receivable by your  
VCR. During Auto Channel Set, the channel numbers  
are displayed as they are scanned and set.  
When Plug & Play setting has been complete  
successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you  
perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no  
need to perform the clock (pg. 10) and tuner (pg.  
13) settings. If, however, you want to add or delete  
channels, refer to Manual Channel Set on page 14.

During Initial Auto Clock Set  
“Auto” blinks.  
During Auto Channel Set  
The channel numbers are displayed

Plug & Play Completed  
The current time (including  
AM/PM) is displayed.  
* If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed”  
below.  
INFORMATION  
If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” on the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host  
channel every hour (except 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data.  
(This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these  
hours — on the time displayed on the front panel display, 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).

see the tape’s or broadcast program’s picture as it is  
replaced by the on-screen menu. (The sound from  
the tape or broadcast program will be heard during

Q. During playback, on-screen display sometimes  
jitters. Why does this happen?  
A. If the condition of the tape being played back is not  
good, jittering of the video (including on-screen  
display) may occur.  
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.
