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

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

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.

3 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.

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 pool, 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 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.

(POLARIZED-TYPE)

3

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 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.

8 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 “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.

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

openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or
electrical shock.

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

cleaner.

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

additions may result in a hazard.

PORTABLE CART WARNING

(Symbol provided by RETAC)

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 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.

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
personnel.

17 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.

18 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.

19 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.

20 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.

Warnings

Screen Burn-in

Displaying fi xed images on your screen for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but
permanent ghost image in your screen. This is referred to as "burn-in". To avoid this, mix your
viewing patterns and aspect modes from time to time.

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.

• Aspect modes that leave solid black bars
on the top and bottom, or both sides of the
screen.

Note: Warranty DOES NOT cover screen
burn-in or uneven picture tube aging.

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

XYZ XYZ

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.

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 – 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

Quick Setup Plug-In Menu

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 42, 53 and 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
