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 electri- cal shock or fire hazards. In order not te defeat the safeguards
incorporated in this TV set, observe the following basic rules
for its installation, use and servicing. And also follow atl 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).
(POLARIZED-TYPE)
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 sti_]fail to fit, contact your electrician.
Operate 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.
Overloaded 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.
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.
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 pool, etc.

CONNECTIONS CHECKLIST - READ ME FIRST
The Connections Checklist section of this guide is a list of ideas to keep in mind while you
setup your new TV. It is designed to help us not-so-technically-minded individuals make our connections properly. If you read this section and still can't identify the plugs, connectors and
components you have, please ask someone for h_lp in making your connections.
1) Always refer to the connection instructions in the user's guide for your components first. The
manufacturer will provide the most detailed information about their products.
2) Know your jacks and plugs - most are color coded:
Yellow plugs are Video connections
Red plugs are Right Audio connections
White (or black) plugs are Left Audio (or Mono) connections. If your VCR is mono-sound, it will have
only a white or black plug, no second red one).
3) Perform one connection at a time. If you have several accessories to connect, make sure each
connection is correct by checking to see that it works properly before trying the next connection.
4) Unplug the power cord during each connection.
5) Follow the In and Out Concept. Remember In and Out - the Output jack from one device will go to the
Input jack of the other. Read the jack panels, they are all labeled.
6) The AM Compu Link Cable is supplied with certain JVC devices. If you have a JVC Compu Link VCR or
other piece of equipment, but don't have an AV Compu Link cable, contact your local JVC dealer.

Cable and VCR Connections
There are three basic types of antenna or cable connections:
If you have an antenna or have a cable system that does not require you use a cable box to select channels, please refer to Diagram #1.
If you have a cable system that requires the use of a cable box to access all the channels, please refer to Diagram #2.
If you have a cable system that requires the use of a cable box to access certain premium channels, but not "basic" cable channels, please refer to Diagram #3.
For instructions on connecting a VCR only, please see the Quick Setup Guide.

NOTES:
Some Sound Advice
You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS
menu screen. Unfortunately, while many programs are originally broadcast in stereo,
some cable companies may "squash" the transmission to mono sound because they have
only mono equipment. If you are connected to a cable system, the sound quality is determined
by the cable company. If they broadcast only in mono, you will receive only mono sound, even if
the program was aired in stereo.
Fortunately, most stereo programs are broadcast by the major television networks. If
you connect an antenna to your TV instead of cable and set the tuner mode in Auto Tuner
Setup to "Air" instead of "Cable" you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in their
original stereo format
You can leave the Sound Settings menu at any #me by pressing the EXITbutton on the remote control.
