Setting Up Your VCR  
Making the right connections  
It's essential that your VCR be properly hooked up for proper results. Follow these steps carefully. THESE STEPS MUST BE COMPLETED  
BEFORE ANY VCR OPERATION CAN BE PERFORMED.  
A
RECORDER-TO-TV CONNECTION  
RF CONNECTION  
AV CONNECTION  
For TV sets without AV input terminals:  
For TV sets with AV input terminals:  
1 Disconnect the TV antenna from the TV.  
2 Connect the TV antenna to the VCR's ANT. IN.  
3 Connect the VCR's RF OUT to the TV's antenna terminal  
using the provided RF cable.  
1 Connect the antenna, VCR and TV as per "RF CONNECTION".  
2 Connect the VCR's AUDIO OUT and VIDEO OUT to the TV's  
AV-IN terminals using the provided AV cable.

SPECIAL  
FUNCTION  
NOTES:  
With a standard RF connection,  
the VCR sends picture and sound  
signals through the connecting  
cable to your TV on channel 3 or  
4. The VCR's switch is pre-set to  
CH3 prior to shipment. Set this  
switch to CH4 in areas where  
channel 3 is used for broadcasting.  
To operate the VCR with your TV using an RF  
connection, it is always necessary to set your TV's  
channel to the one you set the VCR to in this step.  
Even if your TV is connected using AV input  
connectors, it is necessary to also connect your VCR  
and TV using the RF cable if you ever wish to watch  
a program while recording another (p. 23).

the INDEX Plus+ manual).

Setting your VCR's tuner and Cable Box Controller  
Follow these steps if you use an external Cable Box (descrambler) to receive cable stations. When properly set-up, the Multi-System  
Cable Box Controller will automatically switch channels on your Cable Box so you can timer-record two or more cable TV stations. It  
works for Cable TV shows that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (p. 26) or On-Screen (p. 28) programming.  
Suggested Locations  
PLACE CONTROLLER IN A GOOD  
LOCATION  
Attach to top of VCR with Controller's transmitter pointed towards  
Cable Box's remote sensor window.  
Find a location for the Controller which offers an  
1
unobstructed path to the Cable Box's remote sensor window;  
otherwise the Controller's infrared beam will not be able to  
reach and control your Cable Box.  
Attach the Controller using the supplied adhesive strips.

Setting up the VCR Plus+ feature  
Depending on the broadcast stations that are receivable in your area, or the cable stations offered by your cable supplier, you may have  
to make certain changes in your VCR's "Guide Channel Set" menu to get proper results. Please read on and find out what you need  
(and don't need) to do. (After host station scanning, Guide Channel Setting is accomplished automatically, so there's no need for you  
to do it manually. Refer to page 6 of the INDEX Plus+manual).  
Make sure that you have already...  
set the VCR's clock  
set the VCR's tuner.  
Then...  
COMPARE CHANNEL NUMBERS  
set the Cable Box Controller (p. 12) if using a Cable Box.  
Most TV listings will have a chart indicating the "Guide Channel"  
number that each TV station has been assigned for purposes of  
VCR Plus+ programming. Check in your TV listing and see  
whether that number is the same as the channel number you receive  
that station on with your VCR or Cable Box.*  
(If NOT using Cable Box)  
+
If the numbers match, you don't have to do anything. You can  
go directly to "Timer-Recording with VCR Plus+" p. 26.  
If there are stations where the numbers are different, and  
you want to be able to timer-record them, you will have to  
"tell" the VCR about the mismatch. Go to step 1.

with a second non-JVC VCR. The controller is compatible with  
various major VCR brands — convenient especially if you already  
own a VCR other than JVC. For compatible systems and  
availability, please consult your JVC dealer.  
This function requires that index marks are previously recorded  
on your tape at the desired edit points.  
NOTE:  
You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes you want to  
edit in steps 11 – 12.  
Since you can hear the soundtrack during selection, you can avoid  
abrupt or unnatural sounding scene-to-scene connections.

If You Have Any Questions (cont'd)  
Notes regarding...  
Tuner Set  
Remote TV Operation  
Since receivable channels differ by locale, it will be necessary to  
reset your VCR's channels when you move to another location. Auto  
Channel Set is the easiest way to do this. p. 10  
Whenever you replace batteries in the remote control, it is necessary  
to reset the TV code if your television is not a JVC TV.  
With some televisions, the TV/VIDEO button functions only to  
switch the TV to the VIDEO(AV) mode.  
Although the provided remote control unit is compatible with JVC  
televisions as well as many TV models manufactured by others, it is  
possible that the provided remote control will not work with your TV.  
Playback  
If the end of the tape is reached during play or search, it is  
automatically rewound to the beginning and stops.  
The VCR automatically stops when the still mode is left activated for  
more than 5 minutes.  
Remote Cable Box Operation  
Whenever you replace batteries in the remote control, it is necessary  
to reset the Cable Box code.  
If the still picture is unstable, use the VCR's CH –/+ buttons to  
correct the picture.  
During search playback, some noise bars will appear.  
If noise bars appear during playback or slow motion, correct using  
manual tracking. p. 17.  
Although the provided remote control unit is compatible with many  
different Cable Box brands, it is possible that the provided remote  
control will not work with your Cable Box.  
There is no audio during search, slow, still, or frame-by-frame  
playback.  
When playing back LP recordings during search, still or frame-by-  
frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss  
of color.  
Insert Editing  
To stop insert editing automatically, first determine the edit-out point  
on the recording tape (the end of the segment to be replaced) and  
press the remote control's C.RESET button. Then follow steps 8  
through 11 in "Insert Editing" (p.32); insert editing will stop  
automatically at the counter reading of 0:00:00.  
When a tape is first inserted, the recorder enters the automatic  
tracking mode automatically.  
During multi-speed search, some noise bars will appear.  
If adjacent index codes are too close to each other, Index Search may  
not function properly.  
Insert editing cannot be started from a non-recorded segment.  
A small portion of the recording which precedes an insert edit may  
become erased.  
If the cassette's safety tab has been removed, index codes cannot be  
marked or erased.  
You do not have to set to NORM when playing back tapes with  
normal sound track only.  
When MIX is selected, both "Hi-Fi" and "NORM" appear on the TV  
screen when the OSD button is pressed.  
Video or audio insert cannot be performed if the safety tab is absent.  
Video or audio insert cannot be performed on a tape recorded at LP  
speed.  
Distortion may occur in the inserted video if the recording tape had  
discontinuous video or video recorded at different speeds.  
Audio Dubbing  
Recording  
When monitoring the sound during Audio Dubbing, the normal  
soundtrack will be automatically selected. If you wish to hear the  
mixed sound (Hi-Fi + normal soundtracks), p. 18.  
Audio dubbing is not possible with cassettes whose safety tab is  
absent.  
To start recording with the VCR's Record button, press it once on its  
own. Pressing Record more than once activates Instant Timer  
Recording. p. 24.  
After pause, when recording is resumed, a few frames recorded  
before the pause may be overlapped by the new recording. This is  
meant to reduce picture distortion and is not a malfunction.  
The VCR automatically stops when record-pause continues for more  
than 5 minutes.  
If the end of the tape is reached while recording, it is automatically  
rewound to the beginning and stops.  
If the Record button does not work, check to see if the cassette's  
safety tab has been removed.  
Random Assemble Editing  
When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the  
playback tape between the locations you choose as cut-in/out points  
and the locations the VCR recognizes as those points.  
For any scene, the cut-out point must have a counter reading that is at  
least 1 second after the cut-in point. A cut-out point with a counter  
reading less than or the same as the cut-in point will not be  
registered.  
The channel cannot be changed while recording is in progress. To  
change the channel, press Pause, then change the channel.  
Since the playback deck prerolls during Random Assemble Editing,  
there must be at least 15 seconds worth of recorded material prior to  
any cut-in point on the playback tape.  
If the search time for a cut-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording  
deck's Record-Pause mode will be cancelled and editing will not take  
place.  
R.A.Edit is also possible with another JVC VCR which doesn't have  
a PAUSE terminal but does have an R.A.EDIT connector. In this  
case, connect both VCRs by their R.A.EDIT connectors.  
Timer-Recording  
When timer-recording is successfully completed, the VCR power is  
automatically switched off.  
If the end of tape is reached while timer-recording, the cassette is  
automatically ejected.  
Since the timer starts and stops recording based on the time being  
kept by the VCR's built-in clock, the clock's time must be accurate  
for correct timer-recording results.  
When you program the timer while viewing a program or a tape, the  
TV screen will show the on-screen menu but the audio will continue  
to be heard.  
You can also program the timer while the VCR is recording; the on-  
screen menu will not be recorded on tape.  
Although the provided Cable Box Controller is compatible with  
many different cable box brands, it is possible that it will not work  
with your cable box.

HR-IP820U INDEX Plus+ 97.5.20 5:44 PM Page 3  
System Outline  
Introduction  
Information Screens  
INDEX Plus+ is a video tape indexing and management  
system that gives you:  
1. Random access to programs you have recorded,  
2. An easy way to organize your video library, and  
3. Simplified timer recording.  
Channel Related Information Screen  
These screens display various types of information  
which can include the date and time, channel number,  
channel name, name of program and time remaining  
of the program currently being received (refer to page  
10 of this instruction manual).  
INDEX Plus+ also enables automatic setting of time  
and date.  
CH 23 CNN 3/08 10:25AM  
World news  
For programs recorded using the HR-IP820U,  
program data is automatically stored in the VCR's  
memory. Tapes made using a non-INDEX Plus+ VCR  
can be indexed retroactively, and their index data will  
also be stored in the deck's memory. This allows you  
to create a video library, providing both organization  
and quick, precise access to all programs.  
REMAINING 1:10  
Channel Specific Program Guide (CSPG) Screen  
Programming schedules from host broadcasting  
stations are also made available by INDEX Plus+ (refer  
to page 10 of this instruction manual). The necessary  
operations, as described later in this manual, can be  
performed simply and in a relatively short time.  
The Program data is obtained from a host channel.  
The host channel transmits the program schedule and  
channel identification for broadcast and cable TV  
stations. This is called Channel Specific Program  
Guide data (CSPG). Program Related Information  
(PRI) for the program currently being received may  
also be sent by the TV station broadcasting the  
program. In some cases a non-host station may send  
its own program schedule (CSPG).

INDEX Plus+ is an inherently flexible system. For  
example, when you initiate a search for a particular  
program, there are multiple options from which the  
VCR can choose. It selects the method that will most  
quickly and accurately find the program, depending on  
the type of tape used (see page 13 for details on tape  
types).

Program Related Information (PRI) Screen  
Depending on the program, you may also have  
access to certain information (PRI) related to a  
program being broadcast (refer to page 11 of this  
instruction manual). This information could be in the  
form of stats of one of the players in a baseball game,  
a recipe from a cooking show, or questions and  
answers from a quiz show or educational program.

About Cassettes...  
INDEX Plus+ System recognizes three different types  
of tapes. In order to ensure the most effective use of  
INDEX Plus+, familiarize yourself with the three tape  
classifications.  
One of the following screens appears, depending on  
the results:  
Tape Types  
Home-recorded tape (HR): A tape recorded on the  
HR-IP820U or a similar INDEX Plus+ VCR. The index  
is written and updated for each program, and in this  
case stored in the deck's memory, at the time of  
recording.  
TAPE#0123  
MUSIC TV  
The VCR was able to successfully read the tape.  
Pre-recorded tape (PR): Unlike tapes currently on  
the market, PR tapes contain a directory input by the  
video publisher. You can access the directory using  
your INDEX Plus+ VCR.  
Retroactively-indexed tape (RI): A tape that was  
recorded on a non-INDEX Plus+ VCR. You can use  
INDEX Plus+ to add an index.  
DIRECTORY DOES NOT EXIST  
IN THIS VCR  
The tape was successfully read, but no directory exists for it  
in memory.  
Reading The Tape  
Preparation  
1. Turn on the power to the TV and the VCR.  
2. Set the TV to the channel or mode appropriate for  
video playback.  
TAPE# CAN NOT BE READ  
Procedure  
In order to determine the tape type, the VCR  
automatically goes into PLAY mode for a few seconds  
after the tape is inserted.  
The tape is new, or could not be read.  
NOTE: If the safety tab has been removed from the  
cassette, playback begins automatically.

Plus+ VCR, the directory is already stored in the  
VCR's memory and is quickly accessible. Press  
INDEX Plus+ to display the directory.  
If the program you want to watch is on an HR tape  
that was recorded on a different INDEX Plus+ VCR,  
the directory must be uploaded before it can be  
displayed. (See page 23.)  
Preparation  
1. Turn on the power to the TV and the VCR.  
2. Set the TV to the channel or mode appropriate for  
video playback.

2 There's no tape in the machine, and you want the

Once the directory appears, you can make your  
selection. Using the CURSOR button (VOL+/–), place  
the cursor next to the name of the program you want

Helpful terms and information  
The following glossary is to help you better  
understand INDEX Plus+ and its operation.  
Host station: A data center which receives  
information from regular and cable TV broadcasters,  
and sends it, along with the host station's own CSPG  
and PRI, to users of INDEX Plus+. Each host station  
covers a specific region.  
VISS (VHS Index Search System): A VISS mark, or  
index mark, is written on the tape during recording. Its  
purpose is to indicate to the VCR, during playback,  
that a new program is beginning. VISS marks are  
always written on HR and RI tapes, but are optional  
on PR tapes.  
On-Screen Menu System: The specially-designed  
screens, at which required data can be input and  
functions or options selected, make INDEX Plus+  
operations easy to perform.  
RF (Radio Frequency) Connection: This describes  
the VCR-to-TV connection where the RF OUT  
terminal of the VCR is connected to the ANTENNA  
terminal of the TV. When this method of connection is  
employed, the VCR essentially "broadcasts" the  
program to your TV on channel 3 or 4.  
AV (Audio/Video) Connection: This describes the  
VCR-to-TV connection where the AUDIO OUT and  
VIDEO OUT terminals of the VCR are connected to  
the AV IN terminals of the TV. As the audio and video  
signals are sent independently and directly to the TV,  
there's no need to convert them into RF signals.  
Tuner: Off-the-air and cable TV signals are received  
by this section of the VCR. This VCR's Frequency-  
Synthesized Tuner is extremely accurate, and has a  
maximum reception capability of 181 channels.  
Mode: The word used to describe the operational  
status of the VCR at any given time. For example,  
when the tape is being rewound, the VCR is in the  
Rewind mode.  
VCR Plus+: The easy timer-programming system  
which allows you to set your VCR by simply inputting  
the desired program's code number from the TV  
listings in newspapers and magazines.  
Cable Box: This box serves as a control unit for cable  
TV subscribers, and is usually placed on or near the  
TV.  
INDEX Plus+: The name for the system described in  
this manual. The system was designed to give you  
random access to recorded programs, and to make it  
easy for you to organize your video library (see  
"library" below).  
CSPG (Channel-Specific Program Guide): A listing  
of upcoming programs on the currently-selected  
channel. If sent by the broadcaster, this listing can be  
displayed on screen, and you can use the data for  
timer recording.  
PRI (Program-Related Information): Information  
relevant to the program currently being received. If the  
broadcaster is sending this information, you can  
access it and display it on screen. Typical PRI  
includes a particular player's statistics from a sporting  
event, recipes or techniques from a cooking show, or  
questions and answers from an educational program.  
HR (Home-Recorded) Tape: A tape containing  
programs you've recorded at home on an INDEX Plus+  
VCR.  
PR (Pre-Recorded) Tape: A tape produced by a  
video publisher, and available for purchase, which  
contains an INDEX Plus+ directory (see "directory"  
below).  
RI (Retroactively-Indexed) Tape: A tape consisting  
of programs recorded at home on a non-INDEX Plus+  
VCR. You can add INDEX Plus+ data to this type of  
tape using the HR-IP820U.  
Library: This term describes a person's entire video  
collection, including HR and PR tapes.  
Directory: A listing of all programs contained on a  
particular tape. The listing can be called to the screen,  
and contains such information as tape name and  
number, program names, and each program's  
recording mode.  
Download: The capability of receiving CSPG and  
storing it in the VCR's internal memory, for easy  
access at a later time.  
Preferred channel: If you live in an area in which a  
great many regular and cable TV channels are  
available, the title data for these stations may exceed  
the VCR's memory capacity. To prepare for this, you  
can select preferred channels. In the event of memory  
overload, the data for the channel(s) you select will be  
kept.  
Cable Box Controller: A remote unit that sends  
signals to the cable box during timer recording.  
Guide Channel: The number assigned to a TV  
broadcaster for purposes of VCR Plus+ programming.  
This number must match the number of the channel  
on which your VCR receives the station before you  
can use VCR Plus+ to record programs shown on that  
particular station.
