Important Safeguards

CAUTION:

Please read and retain for your safety.

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV set has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. But improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this TV set, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing. Also follow all

warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.

	INSTALLATION	(POLARIZED-TYPE)
	1 Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one
	blade of the plug is wider than the other). This safety feature
	allows the plug to fit into the power outlet only one way.
	Should you be unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
	try reversing the plug. Should it still fail to fit, contact your
	electrician.

2Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer to the operating instructions.

3Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service technician for replacement.

4Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV set where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.

5Do not use this TV set near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.

6If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection requirements for the grounding electrode.

3

7An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

8TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow heat generated during operation to be released.

Therefore:

—Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV set by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, etc.

—Never place a TV set in a “built-in” enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.

—Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.

—Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat register.

9To avoid personal injury:

—Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.

—Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV set manufacturer.

—Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.

—Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.

Use

10Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or electrical shock.

11Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or an aerosol cleaner.

12Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for this purpose. Such additions may result in a hazard.

4

PORTABLE CART WARNING (Symbol provided by RETAC)

13For added protection of the TV set during a lightning storm or when the TV set is to be left unattended for an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning storms or power line surges.

14A TV set and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the TV set and cart combination to overturn.

Service

15Unplug this TV set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A.When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

B.If liquid has been spilled into the TV set.

C.If the TV set has been exposed to rain or water.

D.If the TV set does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV set to normal operation.

E.If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way.

F.When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for service.

16Do not attempt to service this TV set yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

17When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify in writing that the replacement parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use of manufacturer’s specified replacement parts can prevent fire, shock, or other hazards.

18Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV set, please ask the service technician to perform the safety check described in the manufacturer’s service literature.

19When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the TV set.

20Note to CATV system installer.

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Connecting to an AV Receiver using your television's V1 Smart Input

By connecting your AV Receiver to your television's V1 Smart Input, you can watch picture sources from many different devices, without having to change or use the other input connections on your TV. This allows you to free up the other input connections so you can connect more devices to your television.

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 Receivers 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.

Step 3 – 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 39, 50 and 30.

•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 switches to the LANGUAGE settings. You can choose to view your onscreen menus in three languages: English, French (Français) or Spanish (Español).

Auto Clock Set

Before you use any of your TV’s timer functions, you must first set the clock. You may precisely set your clock using the XDS time signal broadcast by most public analog broadcasting stations. If you do not have this in your area, you will have to set the clock manually. See manual clock set below. To set the clock using the XDS signal:

				è	To choose AUTO
SET CLOCK
				†	To TIME ZONE
				è	To select your time zone: (Atlantic, Eastern,
	MODE	AUTO			Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska or
	TIME	-- : -- --			Hawaii)

	D.S.T.	ON
				è	To turn D.S.T. ON or OFF
	NEXT			†	To NEXT (To Auto Tuner Setup)
	SELECT OPERATE	MENU EXIT

Notes:

•D.S.T. can be used when it is set to ON in the SET CLOCK menu.

•Only when the MODE is set to AUTO, the Daylight Savings Time feature automatically adjusts your TV’s clock for Daylight Savings. The clock will move forward one hour at 2:00 am on the first Sunday in April. The clock will move back one hour at 2:00 am on the last

Sunday in October.

•You will have to reset the clock after a power interruption. You must set the clock before operating any timer functions.

Manual Clock Set

To set your clock manually (without using the XDS signal), choose MANUAL. If you choose AUTO, see auto clock set above.
