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.
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some pro t e c t i o n
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810
of the National Electrical Code provides information with re s p e c t
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting stru c t u re ,
g rounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection re q u i rements for the grounding electro d e .
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.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

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 help 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.

Troubleshooting 35
36Notes on Operation
I m p o rt a n t : Do Not leave stationary or letterboxed images on screen for
extended periods of time.
Displaying the same image frequently or for long periods of time can leave a subtle, but permanent ghost
image on the screen. Stationary black bars, like letterboxing, can also leave a ghost image if used too
frequently. To keep this from happening, make sure you mix the types of images shown. It is best not to
have a stationary image displayed for more than 15% of the television’s total operating time in a given week.
Your projection television uses picture tubes to project images onto the screen. As they age, their light output
will gradually decrease. Under normal conditions, the tubes will age at a consistent rate across the screen.
Frequent display of stationary images though can cause the tubes to age unevenly. Uneven picture tube aging
is not covered by the warranty.
Some examples of signals which include stationary images include:
Letterbox top/bottom bars - These are the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when a wide-screen
video is displayed on a standard TV.
Side bar images - These are the black bars on the sides of the picture displayed when a standard-size
television program is shown on a wide screen TV.
Stock-Market Report Bars - These are the “ticker” bars often displayed on the bottom of the screen during
financial reports.
Shopping Channel logos or pricing bars - These are the bright displays often shown on shopping channels
for extended periods of time.
Bright TV Station Logos - Subtle, low-contrast logos are less likely to cause uneven aging.
Video Game patters or scoreboards
On-line (Internet) web sites - Web sites, or other computer-generated images that are not changed or are
displayed for extended periods of time.
Speakers
If you place speakers next to the television, make sure they are magnetically shielded. Because of their strong
magnets, ordinary speakers may cause distortion of the television picture if they are placed too close to the TV.
Cleaning
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.
Appendix 1- Screen Shield 37
The Screen Shield provides a layer of protection for
your television screen. It has a subtle tint which
enhances picture contrast. The screen shield comes
installed on your D-Series projection television. You
can remove the screen shield if you prefer.
To Remove the Screen Shield:
• To begin removal of the screen shield, remove the
top molding clip with a small flat head screwdriver
pressed into the opening at the upper corner of
the television. (Illustration 1)
• Remove the bottom molding clip by using a flat
head screwdriver as in the previous step.
• After loosening all four corners, gently press on
the sides of the screen shield to bow the screen
out towards you. (Illustration 2) It will pop out of
position, pull gently towards you to remove it
completely.
Store the screen shield carefully, in a safe place
where it won’t become scratched or soiled. If you
later decide you wish to reinstall the screen shield,
do the following:
Molding Clip
Illustration 1
• Insert the screen shield into the channel on the
right side of the television.
• Gently press on the sides of the screen shield to
bow it out towards you. (Illustration 2) Be sure to
keep the right side of the shield in the right-side
channel. Carefully slide the left side of the shield
into the channel on the left-side of the television.
• Reinstall the two molding clips. Press the clips
into place gently, do not force.
Wear cotton gloves when working with the screen
shield to guard against fingerprints.

38Appendix 2 - Bypassing the Parent Lock
Cut along dotted line and file after reading.
After you set the lock code, you will need it to:
• view a locked program,
• view a locked channel,
• turn the lock on or off.
If you forget your code, you can bypass it by using the remote control. To
bypass the lock, press the QV and 9 buttons at the same time whenever the
code is requested. Unlocking the TV this way is temporary.
To change or permanently cancel the lock:
1) Turn on your TV. If the lock code is requested, press QV and 9 at the
same time.
2) Press MENU to access the main menu.
3) Use the arrows to move to V-Chip Parent Lock and press ENTER.
4) The on screen display will ask for the lock code. Press QV and 9 at
the same time.
5) The on screen display will now ask you to enter a new code:
• To permanently cancel the passcode, press MENU or ENTER
• To enter a new code, use the 10 key pad to enter your new code
number, then press ENTER.
Notes
You must use the remote which came with the television to bypass the lock
code. You cannot use a remote from another JVC product, other
manufacturer, or universal remote.
When you set a new lock code, write it down and place it in a safe place
away from other potential viewers.
