FCC Notice:

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warnings

Screen Burn-in

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) is that displaying the same image for a long time causes a part of the image to stay on the screen (this is called phosphor burn-in).

Avoid burn-in as follows.

IMAGE SHIFT

The picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down and to the left and right at regular intervals. In order to prevent burn-in, set this function to FAST or STD. (Refer to page 42.) Even if the IMAGE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture will shift to the left or right when the channel or input is changed. This is only when the ASPECT function is in REGULAR mode.

VIDEO STATUS

The VIDEO STATUS function is initially set to DYNAMIC. Unless the TV is being watched in an extremely bright room, it is recommended to change the VIDEO STATUS setting to standard, theater or game. Doing so will reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the life of the PDP. (Refer to page 61).

❑ Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.

TV on

XYZ XYZ

For example...

• Reduce PICTURE and BRIGHT on the PICTURE ADJUST menu (page 50) when viewing.

❑ Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 63).

Screen size is normally chosen to ensure that the picture is displayed on the entire screen. After viewing in the REGULAR mode in which black bands may occur at the left and right of the screen, it is recommended to change to the PANORAMA mode to display the picture on the entire screen.

TV on

For example...

❑ Do not view for long periods of time using the TWIN function (page 57) or INDEX

function (page 57).

TV off

Warnings

If Burn-in has occurred

If burn-in occurs, try the BURN-IN IMAGE REDUCER function (page 52). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.

Note: Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Point defects

PDPs use collections of fine pixels to display images. While there is no problem with more than

99.99% of these pixels, please understand that a very small number of pixels may not light or

may light all the time.

Do not install the TV near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves

It may cause interference in images, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.

Effect on infrared devices

There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.

The phenomenon described below is not a malfunction.

If the television is used at a location above an altitude of 2,000 m, a buzzing noise and image distortion may occur. This phenomenon is peculiar to PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and could occur with any television using PDP. It is not a malfunction.

Caring for the Cabinet

Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.

If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth, slightly moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to help remove spots of oily dirt.

DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.

DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.

DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surface.

DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.

Caring for the Screen

When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.

Do not apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the screen. These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.

Quick Setup Getting Started

Getting Started

These quick setup pages will provide you, in four easy steps, with the basic information you need to begin using your new television right away.

If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult other sections of this manual.

Step 1 – The Remote Control

Before you can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).

Lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote control to open. Insert two batteries (included) carefully noting the “+” and “–” markings, placing the “–” end in the unit first. Snap the cover back into place.

When you change the batteries, try to complete the task within three minutes. If you take longer than three minutes, the remote control codes for your VCR, DVD, and/or cable box/satellite receiver may have to be reset. See pages 26 - 29.

Key Feature Buttons

The four key feature buttons at the center of the remote can be used for basic operation of the television. The top and bottom buttons will scan forward and back through the available channels. To move rapidly through the channels using JVC’s Hyperscan feature, press and hold CH+ or CH –. The channels will zip by at a rate of five channels per second. The right and left buttons will turn the volume up or down. These buttons are also marked with four arrows and are used with JVC’s onscreen menu system. To use the onscreen menus, press the M

ENU button.

Connecting to JVC AV Compu Link

JVC’s AV CompuLink feature makes playing video tapes or DVDs totally automatic. Simply insert a pre-recorded tape into your JVC brand VCR or DVD into your JVC DVD player and the device will automatically turn on and begin playback. At the same time, using the AV CompuLink, the VCR or DVD player sends a signal to the television telling it to turn on and switch to the proper video input.

• The AV CompuLink cable may be included with the JVC AV CompuLink unit you wish to connect. If it is not, contact JVC Parts Department at (800)-882-2345, or www.jvcservice.com for part # EWP 805-012.

• AV CompuLink can only be used with JVC brand products.

AV CompuLink Cable

To Connect: Plug one end of the AV compu link cable into the AV COMPU LINK INPUT on your VCR, DVD, or other compu link device. Plug the other end of the AV compu link cable into the AV COMPU LINK at the rear of the TV.

Notes:

• Please refer to your AV Receiver instruction manual for more information on connecting your speakers and other devices like a DVD player.

• Use your AV Receiver's remote to switch to the different devices you have connected.

• Some AV Receiver's may not respond when the V1 Smart Input function is turned on.

• If you have video connections for each input device connected to your AV Receiver, you should not connect them using both S-Video and Composite connection at the same time when you are using V1 input as the V1 Smart Input. In this case we recommend using the S-Video connection.
