• Before attempting to use this equipment, read the operating instructions thoroughly.

• Ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads, etc.) have been made in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• If ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of this equipment, consult your dealer.

• Handle all glass panels or covers with care.

• Never operate this equipment if it appears damaged or operates abnormally. Turn the power off, disconnect the main power plug and consult your dealer.

• Never remove any affixed panels or covers. Doing so may result in electrical shock.

• Never leave this equipment operating unattended unless otherwise specifically stated that it is designed to do so or in standby mode. Only use the designated power switch to turn off the power and ensure that all potential users are instructed how to do so. Make special arrangements for infirm or handicapped persons.

• Never watch TV while operating a motor vehicle. It is illegal to watch TV while driving.

• Never listen to headphones at high volume. Doing so may damage your hearing.

• Never obstruct the ventilation of this equipment. Doing so may cause overheating and result in a malfunction or damage.

• Never use makeshift stands or attempt to affix legs with wood screws. When using a manufacturer’s approved stand or legs, use only the fixtures provided and follow the installation instructions.

• Never allow this equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

• Never allow anyone, especially children, to insert anything into an opening in the case. Doing so may result in a fatal electrical shock.

• Never guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind. It is better to be safe than sorry.

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

When replacing the fuse only a correctly rated approved type should be used and be sure to re-fit the fuse cover.

 If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.

Thank you for buying this JVC colour television. To make sure you understand how to use your new TV, please read this manual thoroughly before you begin.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE.

WARNING

Always use the power cords which are supplied with the TV. Two power cords are supplied with this TV. Use the power cord which best suits the area in which you live, and insert it into a correctly earthed outlet. Failure to use the supplied power cord or to insert it into a correctly earthed outlet may result in electric shocks.

WARNING

The flat design of this TV means that it is more likely to fall over than an ordinary TV. When installing this TV, ensure that the measures for preventing the TV from falling over are taken as shown below. If the measures for preventing the TV from falling over are not taken, in the case of an earthquake or shocks, the TV may fall over and break or cause injuries.

Screw holes

Commercially available screw or hook

Supplied fixtures

Supplied screws

Supplied cords

Floor

Wall

Use the supplied fixtures, screws and cords as well as commercially available screws or hooks to carry out the measures to prevent the TV from falling over. Use the supplied screws to firmly fix the supplied fixtures to the back of the TV. Use the supplied cords to secure the fixtures on the back of the TV with commercially available screws or hooks which have been affixed to a solid object such as a wall or pillar. Ensure enough space for ventilation by keeping the TV as far away from the wall as possible without pulling the cable too tight. While carrying out the measures to prevent the TV from falling over, ensure that there is enough space for ventilation.

CAUTION:

• Operate only from the power source specified (AC 220 – 240 V, 50 Hz) on the unit.

• Avoid damaging the AC plug and power cord.

• When you are not using this unit for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from the main outlet.

• The ambient temperature for using this unit is 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F). Using the unit outside of this range may lead to it not working correctly or being broken.

ENGLISH

CAUTION

When moving the TV, always hold it at the specified places. Holding at anywhere other than the specified places may result in injuries or the TV being damaged or broken.

• Be careful not to trap your feet when lowering the TV.

• To ensure safety, the TV should always be carried by two or more people.

Hold it here so that it doesn’t fall

forwards or backwards.

Hold the TV here in order to lift it safely.

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). In order to prevent this burn-in, avoid displaying the same image for long periods of time or using the TV in the regular mode as much as possible. If burn-in occurs, display moving images such as video software. If the burn-in is not too bad, it may gradually become less noticeable. However, once burn-in has occurred, it will never totally disappear. If still images are frequently displayed, it is recommended that the brightness be reduced, the screen be scrolled or the display position be changed, or the TV be used in full mode.

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.

Effect on infrared devices

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

Note

The remote controller supplied with this unit is a Class 1 LED product.

Avoid improper installation and never position the unit where good ventilation is impossible. When installing this TV, distance recommendations must be maintained between the floor and wall, as well as installation in a tightly enclosed area or piece of furniture. Keep to the minimum distance guidelines shown for safe operation.

Failure to take the following precautions may cause damage to the television or remote control.

DO NOT block the TV’s ventilation openings or holes.

(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

DO NOT place anything on top of the TV.

(such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.)

DO NOT allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings.

(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the TV.

The surface of the TV screen is easily damaged. Be very careful with it when handling the TV. Should the TV screen become soiled, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never rub it forcefully. Never use any cleaner or detergent on it.

If there is a fault, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover.

 DIGITAL VNR (video noise reduction)

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the amount of noise (interference or snowing) in the original picture. You can choose from the three DIGITAL VNR function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of the DIGITAL VNR effect to match the amount of noise in the picture, giving you the best possible picture.

• If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too high it can make the picture less sharp. We recommend you use the AUTO setting if you can.

MIN:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the minimum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO but feel that the sharpness of the original picture has not been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO to MIN.

• The MIN setting is not suitable for low-quality pictures which contain a lot of noise.

MAX:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the maximum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO to MAX.

• The MAX setting is not suitable for high-quality pictures which contain very little noise.

 DigiPure Pro

The DigiPure Pro function uses the latest in digital technology to give you a natural-looking picture. The DigiPure Pro function includes the following two functions.

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a natural-looking picture by eliminating unnecessary edges from high-contrast and crisp images. For images with low-contrast, edges are added to produce a sharper, more detailed picture. You can choose from the three DigiPure function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

• If you set the DigiPure effect too high on a low-quality picture that contains a lot of noise, this may actually make the noise worse. We recommend you use the AUTO setting if you can.

Picture motion compensation function:

This function displays fast-moving pictures (for example, the players or ball in a football game) more smoothly and naturally on the screen.

• The effect level of the picture motion compensation function cannot be changed. The effect level is the same no matter which of the AUTO, MIN or MAX settings is used.
