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. And also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.

INSTALLATION

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.

2 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the oper-

ating 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.

3 Overloaded AG 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.

4 Do 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.

5 Do 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 poo!, etc.

6 If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the antenna system is grounded so

as to provide some protection against voItage 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 require- ments for the grounding electrode.

(POLARIZED-TYPE)

This product utilizes both a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and other com.

portents that contain lead. Disposal of these materials may be regu,

lated in your community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authori- ties, or the Electronic Industries Alliance: http:/hvww.eiae.org

AV 32/36S33/36/320/330/360 ENG 10/2/_M Page 4

7 An 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 fail 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.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING

AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

TV 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 "builtdn" 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.

9 To 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

10 Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet open-

ings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or elec-

trical shock.

1t Unplug the TV set fromthe wailoutlet before cleaning, Do not useliquid or anaerosol

cleaner.

12 Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for this purpose. Such addi-

tions may result in a hazard.

AV 32/36S33/36/320/330/360 ENG 10/2/_M Page 5

13 For 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.

14 A 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 15 Unplug this TV set from the wali 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 quali-

fied technician to restore the TV set to normal operation.

E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way. R When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance -- this indicates a need for

service.

16 Do 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 person- nel.

When 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,

Upon 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.

When 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.

Note 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.

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. This information includes basic instructions

on operating your remote control, making a simple cable/antenna and optional VCR connection and, finally, information on programming your television's Auto Tuner.

If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult

other sections of this manual.

Step One -The Remote Control

The remote control is the key to operating your television's many great features. Before you can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).

For RM-C255 and RM-C254, lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote to open. For

RM-C205, raise the latch on the remote's back cover to remove. Insert two batteries (included) carefully noting the "+" and "-" markings, placing the '-" end in the unit first. Snap the cover

back into place.

RM-C255 and RM-C254 RM-C205 ONLY

Basic Operation

Turn the television on and off by pressing the POWERbutton at the top right corner of the remote,

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 an back through the available chan-

nels. The right and left buttons will turn the volume up or down. These buttons are also marked with four arrows and are also

used with JVC's onscreen menu system. You will need to use these buttons later in the Quick Setup.

The next step is to connect your television to an antenna or cable.
