Warnings
Avoiding Ghost Images
Displaying fi xed images for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but temporary ghost
image on your screen. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern.
Examples include, but are not limited to the following:
• Stock-market report bars
• Shopping channel logos and pricing
displays
• Video game patterns or scoreboards
• Bright station logos
• Internet web sites or other computer-style
images.
• DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs
• Broadcast, cable, satellite channels or
digital television tuners/converters.
TV on
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.
For example...
TV off
XYZXYZ
Caring for the Screen
The screen is treated with an electrostatic-proof coating. When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a
soft cloth. If the screen is very dirty, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in a diluted kitchen cleaner
and thoroughly wrung-out. Then wipe immediately after with a clean, dry 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.
Do not push or hit the screen. This could cause scratches on the screen surface and image
distortions.
5
Warnings (Continued...)
How to move the cabinet
Your fingers may become trapped under
the TV, causing injuries. Hold the TV at the
bottom in the middle, and do not allow the TV
to tilt up or down.
The TV may fall causing injuries. Hold the
bottom of the stand with your hand and tilt
the TV up or down.

Quick Setup Getting Started
Getting Started
These quick setup pages will provide you, in three 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 - Using the stand
This TV comes with a Table Top Stand already attached.
This stand can be used to adjust the direction of the TV screen 5° up, 10° down and 20° to the
left or right.
Tilt the TV up or down
While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand,
use your other hand to hold the middle of the top of the
TV, and slowly tilt the TV up or down.
• As a safety measure, the stand is constructed so that
it requires a certain amount of force to tilt the TV.
Rotate the TV left or right
While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand,
use your other hand to hold the edge of the panel
and slowly adjust the direction of the TV stand.
Cable Holder
A cable holder which keeps your connection cables tidy is attached on the back of the stand.
Gently squeeze the left and right of the cable holder, and pull it to remove it from the stand.
After putting the cables in the cable holder, attach it to the back of the stand again.

Step 2 – 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 24 - 27.
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.

Step 3 - Connecting your devices
Remove the terminal cover
There are connection terminals behind the covers on the left and right
in the back of the TV. Remove these two covers before connecting an
antenna or other devices. The covers can be removed by removing the
hooks. When replacing the covers, place the side of the covers against
the TV and insert the hooks.
Note:
• Leave the terminal covers off if they do not fit properly. Do not force to
replace the covers. Doing so may damage the connection cables and
covers.
Connections
Please follow the flow chart below to determine which connection setup is right for you. Then,
refer to the appropriate diagrams to connect your television to other devices that you may
have. After you are finished connecting your devices, plug the power cord into the nearest
power outlet and turn on the TV.
A VCR is not necessary for operation of the television. If you follow these diagrams and the
television does not work properly, contact your local cable operator.
• To connect a DVD player, see Diagram #3. A DVD player is optional.
• If you have a satellite television system, please refer to the satellite TV manual.

Step 4 – The Interactive Plug In Menu
When you turn your television on for the first time the interactive plug-in menu will appear. The
plug-in menu helps you to get your TV ready to use by letting you set your preferences for:
• The language in which you want the onscreen menus to appear.
• Setting the TV’s clock to the correct time so your timer functions will work properly. You can
choose “AUTO” or “MANUAL” for setting the clock.
• The auto tuner setup of which channels you wish to receive.
We recommend you complete the interactive plug-in items before you start using your
television.
Notes:
• The interactive plug-in menu setting does not appear if your TV has been turned on before.
In this case use the onscreen menus to perform these settings. See pages 40, 50, 31.
• If you press the Menu button while setting up the interactive plug-in menu, it will skip over it.
Language
After the “JVC INTERACTIVE PLUG IN MENU” has been displayed, the TV automatically

Movies Ratings
❒ NR – Not Rated
This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries

NR (Not Rated) Programming may contain all types of programming including children’s
programming, foreign programs, or adult material.
❒ G – General Audience
In the opinion of the review board, these films contain nothing in the way of sexual content,
violence, or language that would be unsuitable for audiences of any age.

Parental Guidance means the movie may contain some contents such as mild violence,
some brief nudity, and strong language. The contents are not deemed intense.
❒ PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned
Parents with children under 13 are cautioned that the content of movies with this rating may
include more explicit sexual, language, and violence content than movies rated PG.
❒ R – Restricted
These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for
unsupervised children under the age of 17.
❒ NC-17 – No One Under 17
These movies contain content which most parents would feel is too adult for their children
to view. Content can consist of strong language, nudity, violence, and suggestive or explicit
subject matter.

4:3 aspect picture is stretched to fit the
dimensions of the 16:9 aspect screen.
CINEMA - This ratio “zooms in” on the
center part of a 4:3 aspect picture, blowing
it up to fill the 16:9 screen.
FULL - This is the ratio to use when
watching 16:9 High-Definition broadcasts.

the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to
eliminate the black side bars.
REGULAR - The regular ratio is used
when you want to watch a 4:3 broadcast
or recorded program without modifying the
original picture to fit the dimensions of your
16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture will fill the
screen from top to bottom, while black bars
will appear to fill up the remaining space
along the picture’s sides. The 4:3 picture
will be centered within the boundaries of the
16:9 screen.
CINEMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches
the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to
