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 electri-
cal 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.

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 perform-
ance — 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 tech-
nician verify in writing that the replacement parts he uses

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
Welcome...
Thank you for purchasing JVC’s model AV-61S902 “D’Ahlia” HDTV-ready projection television which uses the
high-quality D-ILA projection system.
The D’Ahlia is one of the highest quality and most technologically advanced televisions available today.
It is recommended that you read this instruction manual before using the television in order to learn about the
many features.
Cautions related to the safe use of the device and important information which will help you to be able to use this
device for a long time are in Appendixes A to C.
Once again, thank you for purchasing this television and please enjoy using it.
In order to be able to use the television for a long time
This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen.
Before using the television, please read the safety cautions and information about this television which are summarized below.
1. When the power is turned on, the warming-up commences
This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen.
Once the lamp has warmed up, you can enjoy the pictures at their full brightness.
What happens when the power is turned on is explained below.
Immediately after the power is turned on, since the lamp has not had time to warm up, the picture is displayed
only dimly on the screen. As the lamp warms up, the picture becomes brighter. It takes approximately one
minute for the lamp to warm up to its normal operating temperature.
There are 10 LED indicators on the front panel of the television and these can be used as a guide.
When the P
OWER button is pressed, the 10 LED indicators light green and then go out one at a time approxi-
mately every 5 seconds.
2. Cooling the inside of the television and the lamp
Cooling is also performed while the television being shut down.
When the P
OWER button is pressed to turn the power off, the following operations are performed.
When the television is turned off, the picture on the screen darkens from the outsides like a pair of curtains
closing. If the P
OWER button is pressed again while the curtains are still closing, the power can be turned back
on again.
Once the curtains have fully closed and the screen is dark, cooling is performed for approximately one
minute.
While the cooling is being performed, the 10 LED indicators on the front panel light two at a time while moving
clockwise. The television can not be operated while the cooling is being performed.
After the cooling has been performed for approximately one minute, the power is turned off.
Do not remove the electric plug until after the cooling has been completed. If the electric plug is removed
without performing the cooling operation, the internal circuits and lamp may overheat leading to the life of the
lamp being shortened and the possibilities of malfunctions.
Do not block the ventilation holes
Do not block the ventilation holes while the power is turned on. Do not block the air intake holes behind the
speaker grills.
Clean the air filter once every three months.
In order for cold air to be fed inside the device, the two filters which are behind the speaker grills, must be
regularly cleaned. If cold air is not fed into the device, the internal circuits and lamp may overheat leading to
the life of the lamp being shortened and the possibilities of malfunctions. Refer to Appendix A for the details
about cleaning the air filters.
3. The lamp is a consumable item
Replace the lamp when it has blown or when the pictures becomes dark. The lamp is a user-replaceable item.
The lamp must be recycled. For a detailed explanation of how to recycle the lamp, refer to Appendix B and
the instruction that are included with the replacement lamp kit.
4. The television requires a lot of electric power
It is recommended that the television is connected directly to the wall socket, and not to another device. When
connecting the television to a wall socket that is being used by another device or when using an extension
cord, be careful not to exceed the capacity of the socket.
Do not turn the power on and off repeatedly in a short time.
It subjects the television and lamp to stress and may lead to malfunctions and the life of the lamp being shortened.
5. The screen is made of plastic
Handle the screen carefully as it scratches easily. Do not rub, hit or press it with any hard objects.
When the screen is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Refer to Appendix A for details of how to clean the
screen.
6. Caution! Warm air from air duct
This unit has an air duct for cooling. The duct will blow warm air while the television is operating. When placing
the television, make sure not to locate the unit too close to wallpaper. The warm air could cause the color of
the wallpaper to change. Also take care to keep children and pets away from the warm air ducts. Long exposure to the warm air from the ducts could cause a minor burn.
7 Caution! Moving this unit
This unit has casters. When you are moving the unit, try to only push the unit from the sides. Attempting to
push the unit from the front or back could cause the unit to tip over.
When lifting this unit, do not hold by the screen frame. Holding the screen frame could cause it to detach from
the unit and fall.
8. Do not replace the lamp immediately after use
The lamp becomes extremely hot during use. If the lamp is touched immediately after use before it has had a
chance to cool down, there is a danger of burns. Be careful when handling the lamp.
9. Do not touch the lamp glass
If the lamp is used when there is dirt from fingers on the lamp glass, there is a possibility of the lamp breaking.
Be careful not to touch the lamp glass.
10.
ILA element characteristics
Do not project still pictures or pictures which have still segments for a long time.
The still parts of the picture may remain on the screen. This is a characteristic of ILA elements and not a malfunction. The picture will disappear over time.
11. Condensation
When a heater is turned on or the television is moved from a cold place to a hot place, droplets of water may
be formed on the lamp and screen. This is called condensation. If the television is used while this condensation is still present, the picture may seem distorted, and the inside of the screen may become dirty.
In such cases, wait until the condensation has gone before using the television.
12. Do not open the rear cabinet of this unit
This unit has a DIGITAL-IN terminal. Opening the rear cabinet will violate the copyright of program or software
shown on this television. Please do not open the rear cabinet.

DTV Decoder Connection
Your AV-61S902 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, P
B, 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.

Connections
DTV Decoder Connection
<When connecting a DTV decoder which has a copy-protect Digital-Out terminal>
By inputting a High-band with Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the Digital-In terminal of
this television, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is for use
in the future when High-band with Digital Content Protection DTV decoders and DVD players and D-VHS are put
on the market.)
1) Connect the DTV digital RGB output terminal to the INPUT-5 digital input terminal of the television, and then
tighten the 2 screws.
2) Connect the DTV decoder left audio output to the INPUT-5 left audio input.
3) Connect the DTV decoder right audio output to the INPUT-5 right audio input.
• The Digital-In terminal can only be used with 1080i and 480p picture signals. Set the DTV decode Digital-Out
terminal output setting to 1080i 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 25-pin cable (commercially available) in order to digitally connect the television with a DTV
decoder.
• If the connection shown above is used, the DTV signal will be available on Digital-In on the INPUT MENU.
(refer to page 54).
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 37.)
After the connections have
been made,
tighten the
screw to
secure the
cables.

AV Compu-Link
JVC’s AV Compu Link 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 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.
• When the television is in cool down mode, it will not accept signals from an AV Compu Link device.
• 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 EX is compatible with the following receivers: RX-664V, RX-665V, RX-668VBK, RX-774V, RX-778VBK, RX-884V,
RX-888VBK, RX-1024V, RX-1028VBK, and later receiver models.
• The AV-61S902 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 22-25).
Remote Control Basics

- Make sure the TV/CATV switch is set to TV. Move the switch to CATV only if you
need to operate a cable box.

a DVD player. Please see pages 22 to 25 for instructions on programming your
remote control to operate a Cable box, VCR or DVD player.
- Press the C
H+ and CH– buttons to scan through the channels. Tap the CH+ or CH-
button to move through the channels one channel at a time.
- To move rapidly through the channels using JVC’s Hyperscan feature, press and hold
C
H+ or CH–. The channels will zip by at a rate of five channels per second.
- Press V
OL+ or VOL - to raise or lower the volume. An indicator bar will appear
onscreen to show you the television volume level.
