Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the VCR, remote control 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 VCRs ventilation openings. 3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or remote control. 4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the VCR or remote control. 5. AVOID violent shocks to the VCR during transport.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

**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 conditionsjust 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 VCRs power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry before inserting a tape.

If you press MENU after the clock has been set, the Cable Box Brand Set screen appears.
Although the supplied Controller is compatible with many different cable box brands, it is possible that it will not work with your cable box. If your cable box doesnt respond to any code between 1 and 25, you cant 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 of timer recording. Please contact your cable company about the possibility of exchanging your current cable box with one that is compatible with your VCR. The VCR can only change the cable box channel through the Controller during timer recording. If your cable box is one that cant be operated with a remote control (because it has no remote sensor), you cant 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 of timer recording. If the VCR's memory backup expires because of a power failure, set the cable box output channel and brand again. If you are unable to set the Controller, please contact JVC toll free at 1-800-537-5722.

You can also use the remote control's JOG dial/SHUTTLE ring for the operations described on this page. First press the JOG/SHUTTLE button on the remote control so that the button lights up before use. Refer to the SHUTTLE ring illustration below as you read the procedures. NOTE: When using the JOG dial during playback on the DV deck, turn the JOG dial slowly.

PLAYBACK AND RECORDING FEATURES (cont.)

Manual Tracking

(VHS deck only)
Once playback begins, the VCRs automatic tracking function is engaged. If tracking noise appears in the picture, you can override this and make the adjustment manually.
ENGAGE MANUAL TRACKING MODE
During playback, press the CH + and buttons on the VCR's front panel simultaneously to cancel the automatic tracking mode and enable manual tracking adjust.

ADJUST MANUAL TRACKING

Press CH + or on the VCR's front panel or remote. Press briefly for fine adjust, or press and hold for coarse adjust. Watch the screen and continue adjusting until optimum picture and sound quality are achieved.
RE-ENGAGE AUTOMATIC TRACKING
Press the CH + and buttons on the VCR's front panel simultaneously. When automatic tracking is re-engaged, Video Calibration is automatically activated.
To obtain a noiseless still picture it may be necessary to adjust tracking in slow playback and then engage Pause. Manual tracking is possible during hands-free slow-motion. During hands-free slow-motion playback, simply press CH + or on the VCR's front panel or remote to adjust tracking.

If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, there may be cases where the picture becomes more stable with Digital TBC/NR set to off. When Digital TBC/NR is set to on, if you play back a tape where certain types of signals are recorded (using a PC or some character generators), the playback picture may be distorted. If this is the case, turn off Digital TBC/NR. Digital TBC/NR and Video Stabilizer ( pg. 30) 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 off when you want to use Video Stabilizer.

Super VHS ET (VHS deck only)
Your VCR is equipped with Super VHS ET that makes it possible to record with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes.
This facility allows recording with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes. You can play back those cassettes recorded in S-VHS ET on a VCR equipped with S-VHS ET.

ENGAGE S-VHS ET MODE

Press S-VHS ET on the VCR. You can check the current setting ("S-VHS ET : ON" or "S-VHS ET : OFF") if "SUPERIMPOSE" is set to "ON" ( pg. 27). If "S-VHS ET : OFF" appears on the TV screen, press S-VHS ET again in about 5 seconds to set it to "ON". The S-VHS indicator lights up on the front display panel.
You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function..while recording is in progress.while timer-recording (incl. Instant Timer Recording pg. 49) is in progress.while Video Calibration ( pg. 34) is in progress.when the VCR's power is off. S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.
To obtain the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a longer period on this model, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tape is recommended. You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this VCR but also on another VHS VCR equipped with S-VHS ET. * It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings. S-VHS ET recordings can also be played back on an SVHS VCR or a VHS VCR equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. However, there may be cases where S-VHS ET playback is not possible on a particular VCR. Frequent still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback may damage the tape and cause picture degradation. With some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is recommended that you do test record beforehand to make sure whether better results can be obtained. High Grade tapes are recommended for superior results. Make sure that "VIDEO CALIBRATION" is set to "ON" at the Function screen ( pg. 34). During S-VHS ET playback, noise may appear depending on tape quality. Noise may appear during still, frame-by-frame and slowmotion playback. If the playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.

TIMER RECORDING

Timer recording allows you to program the VCR to automatically record a program that will be broadcast at some future time. The timer record function can be programmed using the VCR Plus+ or Express Timer programming up to 6 shows each on the VHS and DV decks as far as a year in advance. ( pg. 40 or 44) The VCR Plus+ timer programming system eliminates the need to input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the timer record function. Simply key in the PlusCode number for the TV program you wish to record and the VCR's timer will be automatically programmed. (The PlusCode programming numbers are the numbers next to the program in most TV listing.)
VCR Plus+ Timer Programming
Insert a VHS (or S-VHS) cassette with the record safety tab intact, or a Mini DV cassette with the erase protection switch set to "REC". The VCRs power comes on automatically.
