5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture.

Distance of Remote Control Operation

Change the custom code for remote control

If you operate this DVD/VCR with another JVC's VCR simultaneously arranging them side by side, the both recorders will react to this remote control. In this case, you can change the remote control and DVD/VCR to other frequency ("☐"). Then you can operate only this DVD/VCR with this changed remote control.

When you purchased, the DVD/VCR and remote control have been set to the frequency-“ ”.

Example: Change frequency to

Remote control:

While holding VCR, press 2 (code: b) of Number keys. (in case of code: A, press 1). Then press OK.

DVD/VCR:

In the POWER off mode, press and hold PLAY for more than 5 seconds. The current code (“A” or “b”) will appear on the display. Then press ■ on the remote control. The current code of the remote control will be transmitted to the unit and the unit will be adjusted to the transmitted code. Then the code will disappear after approx. 4 seconds.

NOTE:

• If the remote control has been set to b, the DVD/VCR also must be set to b. Otherwise, the DVD/VCR can not be operated with this remote control.
• To reset to “A”, repeat above procedure. However press 1 instead of 2.

Connect your DVD/VCR to your home's antenna and to your TV-set as shown in the illustration.

When you have finished these connections you connect your DVD/VCR to the 230 V / 50 Hz mains.

Connect a TV with the Scart socket

In addition to the coaxial cable connection, connect also with scart cable. The picture and sound will be transmitted best through the scart cable. In this case, the TV need not be tuned to the video recorder. The AV-channel also need not be tuned. The video recorder switch the television to video operation through the scart cable automatically. The stereo-playback is possible in only case through a scart cable!

If your TV-set does not switch to video-playback operation automatically, please turn your TV's video switch to VIDEO position manually.

The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the DVD/VCR is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the Owner's Manual provided with each component for the location of SCART socket.

Connection to a Satellite Receiver

If a Satellite Receiver is used, we recommend the following configuration:

Connect to a Stereo Amplifier with Audio Output

If your DVD/VCR is connected to a stereo amplifier, the video soundtrack can output through the loudspeakers of the stereo system.

Connect to an AV Amplifier with built-in digital surround

If you are using an Amplifier with a built-in digital surround as follows, you can enjoy the various audio systems such as Dolby Digital and DTS by using the Coaxial Digital Output.

Use this connection to connect an:

• AV amplifier with built-in *Dolby Digital decoder
• AV amplifier with built-in *DTS decoder

Connecting the optical digital cable

You may connect to an AV Amplifier with an Optical digital cable (not supplied) instead of a Coaxial digital cable.

When you connect the optical digital cable (not supplied), remove the dust protection cap from the rear panel. When not using the optical digital cable, attach the dust protection cap to protect against dust.

NOTES:

• The OPTICAL, COAXIAL jacks are useful only for DVD section.
  VHS signal is output only from the SCART-sockets, AUDIO L/R jacks and RF OUT jack.
• When you make the connections above, do not set DOLBY DIGITAL to DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS to ON on the AV Amplifier. If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
• DTS audio will be output only from the COAXIAL output. To hear DTS audio, DTS-Decoder is necessary. When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analogue stereo outputs.
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.

We recommend that television and DVD/VCR are being connected with a scart cable.

In this case, the setting of AV-channel is not necessary. Picture and sound of video cassette will be transmitted to television through the scart cable automatically. Please read the next page.

In case of no scart cable connection, you must set the television to the AV-channel. Pay attention to the following notice:

A built-in TV-broadcast in DVD/VCR can do the video playback through the supplied antenna cable. This broadcast is sent on UHF, channel 36. To receive this broadcast, you must tune your television to channel 36 in UHF-band.(see step 2)

In case a broadcast has already sent to channel 36 in your area or you connect a additional equipment (e.g. Satellite receiver) with a coaxial cable (without a scart cable), you must tune the sending channel in DVD/VCR (see step 3). In your television store the both equipment (the DVD/VCR and the satellite receiver) to 2 different program positions.

Example: Your satellite receiver is sent to channel 36. You tune the DVD/VCR to channel 40 (see step 3).

(If your DVD/VCR is also sent to channel 36, the interference will occur.) In your television store the channel 36 to e.g. program position 3 and store the channel 40 to e.g. program position 4. Note that the program position 4 must be suitable for video-playback especially. Please see the owner's manual for your television. If the playback picture is often distorted, you must select the other program position for DVD/VCR.

Preparation

• Turn on the TV.
• Make sure the power of DVD/VCR has been turned off.

1 Press the DVD/VCR's ⏻/I (not the one on your remote control) and keep pressing it until the display shows rF:. The number next to rF: is the channel in UHF-band to which you must tune your TV-set.

2 Switch your television to the program position on which the video playback is seen. Start the channel search of your television until "TEST" appears. Store this tuning in television like also the case of the reception for normal television-channels you would store.

If you want to use your DVD/VCR, switch your television to this program position.

3 If there is interference in the picture (you see 2 programs simultaneously or what is called Ghosts), change the sending channel in DVD/VCR. To do this, go back to the step 1. Use PR button on the DVD/VCR to change the number next to the rF:. Then return to step 2 and tune the television newly.
4 Press ⏻/I button to turn off the DVD/VCR.

Note:

If you receive one TV-program on channel 35, 36 or 37, the interference can be occurred to the built-in TV channel in DVD/VCR. If you use a scart cable for the transmission of picture and sound, you can cut off the built-in TV-program. Then the video playback through the supplied antenna cable is not possible any more. Press PR repeatedly (at step 1) until OFF will appear.(OFF appears after 69 or before 23)

VPS/PDC is a service provided by the public TV station. When you select a VPS/PDC-compatible TV station and activate the VPS/PDC function, the beginning and the end of the timer recording will be controlled by the TV station. Any program air time delays will be taken care of. The private TV companies have not provided this service yet. Thus, please turn OFF the VPS/PDC function when performing timer recordings of programs aired by private TV stations.

Example: Assume you want to record a sports event that is scheduled to be aired from 21:00 to 23:00 and perform your timer programming accordingly. However, the beginning of the sports event is postponed to 21:30 so that the program will now end at 24:00. Using the VPS/PDC function, you can still make sure that the entire TV program is recorded.

The user's timer programming setting:

Actually, however, the sports event is aired from 21:30 to 24:00.

Recording without VPS/PDC function:

Recording with VPS/PDC function:

When you perform the timer programming be sure to observe the following points:

1.) Date and time should be correctly set.

The following points from 2 to 5 will be automatically taken care of by the ShowView feature. Therefore, be sure to keep them in mind when doing recordings without the ShowView feature.

2.) Set the starting time precisely to the minute according to the data in the TV program magazine (not a single minute earlier or later); otherwise an automatic recording will not be possible.
3.) If an additional 2nd time is specified in parentheses, which in most cases is explicitly stated as “VPS/PDC time”, make sure to enter only this time data.
4.) The starting time of the subsequent TV program is considered to be the end time of the recording.
5.) If you program the recording of several subsequent TV programs, enter the start and end times separately for each TV program. It is not sufficient to solely enter the start time of the first and the end time of the last program (in this case only the first program will be recorded unless the VPS/PDC function is turned off).

Please look up in your TV program magazine which TV stations transmit the VPS/PDC signal. A VPS/PDC on-screen indication (during auto search) does not mean that the respective TV station is actually VPS/PDC-compatible. Therefore, make sure to turn OFF the VPS/PDC function if you want to make timer recordings of programs aired by a station that is not VPS/PDC-compatible. Otherwise the TV program will not be recorded in its entirety.

It is preferable to deactivate the VPS/PDC function even for VPS/PDC-compatible TV stations — at least it simplifies the programming procedure — if you want to record several programs of the same TV station in direct sequence.

For instance: at 20:00, recording of the “Tagesschau” news program, subsequently, at 20:15, recording of a movie, and subsequently, from 21:45 to 22:45, recording of a sports program.

Using the VPS/PDC function, enter the start and end times of each program separately; however, if the VPS/PDC function is turned OFF, it will be sufficient to enter the start time of 20:00 and the end time of 22:45.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have the DVD/VCR checked by qualified service personnel.

NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
- To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
