Operating Video Components

IMPORTANT:

To operate JVC’s video components using this remote control:

You need to connect JVC’s video components through the AV COMPU LINK jacks (see page 53) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see pages 12 and 13).

Some JVC’s VCRs can accept two types of control signals—remote codes “A” and “B.” Before using this remote control, make sure that the remote control code of the VCR connected to the VCR 1 IN jacks is set to code “A.”

When another JVC’s VCR is connected to the VCR 2 IN jacks, set its remote control code to code “B.” (This remote control cannot emit the control signals of code “B.”)

Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on each component, not on the receiver.

To operate the video component(s) using the RF signals emitted from this remote control, the IR signal transmitter and the RF rod antenna must be connected to this receiver.

Place the IR signal transmitter so that it is aimed at the remote sensor(s) on the target video component(s).

The RF signal-reachable distance may differ depending on the operating conditions and circumstances.

The IR signal transmitter can send signals from a distance of 3 m (10 feet).

When using the remote control:

Set the ZONE 1/ZONE 2 selector to ZONE 1 or ZONE 2 correctly.
