RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION

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

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)

IMPORTANT RECYCLING INFORMATION

This product utilizes both a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and other components that contain lead. Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities, or the Electronic Industries Alliance: http://www.eiae.org

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.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING

AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

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 it’s useful life, improper disposal could result in a

picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose 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.

Your AV-56WP30 or AV-48WP30 television is HDTV and SDTV-Ready. This means it can display High Definition television images when connected to a digital television receiver*. DTV Decoders are available separately. For best image quality, we recommend using a DTV Decoder which uses Component Video (Y, PB, PR) Output to connect to the television. The diagram below shows how to connect a DTV Decoder with using the television’s Component Video-in jacks.

1) Connect Green cable out from the DTV Decoder “Y” Video Output, in to TV “Y” Component Input.

2) Connect Blue cable out from the DTV Decoder “PB” Video Output, in to TV “PB” Component Input.

3) Connect Red cable out from the DTV Decoder “PR” Video Output, in to TV PR” Component Input.

4) Connect White Audio cable out the DTV Decoder Left Audio Output, in to TV Left Audio Input.

5) Connect Red Audio cable out the DTV Decoder Right Audio Output, in to TV Right Audio Input.

Make sure you use the same numbered input for both the Component Input and Audio Input. For instance, if you use Component Input 2, also use Audio Input 2.

• Green, blue and red are the most common colors for Component Video cables. Some

models may vary colors, please consult the user’s manual for your DTV Decoder for more information.

• Be careful not to confuse the red Component Video cable with the red audio cable. It is best

to complete one set of connections (Audio or Video) before starting the other to avoid accidentally switching the cables.

* Notes About HDTV Operation

The AV-56WP30 or AV-48WP30 can display 480p, 480i, 1080i and 720p signal formats using the Component Video Inputs. It cannot display 1080p signal. For High Definition (HDTV) picture display a DTV decoder must be connected to the TV.

DTV decode Digital-Out terminal output setting to 1080i, 720p or 480p. For detailed information, refer to the DTV decoder instruction manual. If you can not display the picture because your DTV decoder does not have a Digital-Out terminal output setting, use the component Video Input (or the S-Video Input or Video Input). (Refer to page 15) In this case the picture will be displayed as an analog signal.

• The Digital-In terminal is not compatible with the picture signal of a personal computer.

• Use a DVI-D Single Link 19-pin cable (commercially available) in order to digitally connect

the television with a DTV decoder.

If 480p signals (640x480 or 720x480) are displayed on the screen, the horizontal balance may be slightly shifted. In cases such as this, the horizontal balance can be adjusted by accessing “DIGITAL-IN” in the INITIAL SETUP Menu. (Refer to page 41.)

JVC’s AV Compu Link III feature makes playing video tapes totally automatic. Simply insert a pre-recorded tape* into your JVC-brand VCR and the VCR will automatically turn on and begin playback. At the same time, using the AV Compu Link, the VCR sends a signal to the television telling it to turn on and switch to the proper video input to watch a video tape.

• The AV Compu Link cable may be included with the JVC AV Compu Link accessory you wish

to connect. If it is not, contact an authorized JVC Service Center for part # EWP 805-012.

• AV Compu Link III can only be used with JVC-brand products.

To Connect: Plug one end of the AV Compu Link cable into the AV Compu Link input on your VCR or other Compu Link device. Plug the other end of the AV Compu Link cable into the AV Compu Link input at the rear of the television.

Notes:

* In order for the VCR playback to begin automatically, the recording tabs must be removed

from the VHS tape. If the tab is in place, automatic switching will occur when you push the VCR’s P

LAY button.

• The AV Compu Link cable has a male 3.5 mm (mono) plug on each end.

• If your JVC-brand VCR has “A Code/B Code Remote Control Switching” (see your VCR’s instruction book), using VCR A Code will switch the TV to input 1. If you use Input 1 for video input from your cable box, use VCR B Code to select the TV Video Input 2.

• To connect a JVC HiFi receiver or amplifier for a completely automated home theater, see the HiFi’s connection instructions for detailed connection information.

• AV COMPU LINK III is compatible with all JVC AV COMPU LINK III devices

• The AV-56WP30 or AV-48WP30 can also receive Compu-Link signals from a DVD player. For details on operating a DVD player with AV Compu Link, please see your DVD player’s owners manual.

Remote Control

Install the Batteries

• Before you can operate the remote control, you must first install the batteries (included).

• Push down on the remote’s back cover and slide towards the bottom to remove it.

• Insert two AA batteries (supplied), carefully noting the “+” and “–” markings on the batteries

and on the remote control. To avoid a potential short circuit, insert the “–” end first. Be sure to use only size AA batteries.

• When batteries are installed, slide the cover back into place (until it clicks into position).

• If the remote control acts erratically, replace the batteries. Typical battery life is six months to

one year. We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.

• 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 may have to be reset (pages 22-24).
