How to best use TV models AV-56WP94 and AV-65WP94
What’s ATSC?
ATSC, which stands for Advanced Television Systems Committee, is a broadcasting system of
terrestrial digital broadcasting. To receive A TSC, you need an antenna. An indoor antenna is able
to receive a signal, but use of outdoor antenna is recommended. You can also receive a signal by
Cable, but service may not be provided by certain Cable companies. Ask your cable company for
more information.
How to receive ATSC
In order to receive an ATSC signal, you must first run the AUTO TUNER SETUP available in the
“Interactive Plug In Menu” or regular “Menu” on your TV. When the Auto Tuner Setup is executed,
the level indicator of the Scan Menu can be set at a higher sensitivity than the normal range. In
this case, an ATSC capable channel may be set at a high level, but the real level may be too low
to receive the A TSC signal. Under these conditio ns, you will not be able to receive that cha nnel. If
this happens, please follow the steps below , “How to Adjust Y ou r Antenna” in order to receive your
channel.

Channel Number Display
Regarding ATSC broadcasting channels, the RF channels that are now broadcast and the
channels that are displayed on screen are sometimes different from each other. With this TV,
channels that are received once and stored in the CHANNEL SUMMARY will be used as the
database, and the information will be memorized. After this, every channel number can be
selected, but the channel indications that broadcasting stations express will take priority.
The Channel up/down on the remote control will only scan RF channels. Sub channels will be
skipped. Up/down of Sub channels will scan all ATSC channels.
Also, if you turn the power off while receiving Sub channels, or if you execute CH Return, channel
receiving will start from the main channel of the channel.
In this TV , on the screen display (D##) means RF channels. (## is the channel number which you
select.)

When not receiving a TV broadcast
When not receiving a TV broadcast, follow the next steps.
1. Turn the TV off with the remote control. Wait for a while and turn the power back on.
(If you are unable to turn the power off with the remote control, please disconnect the power
cord from the outlet and wait a few moments before plugging it back in.)
2. Select your requested channel.
3. If there is no picture on screen, try selecting other channels. If no channel will be selected,
adjust the antenna, and then execute AUTO TUNER SETUP again. If you still can't receive
any channels, there may be a malfunction. In this case, talk to your dealer.
If the TV can receive signals from other broadcasting stations and receive your requested
channels, press the OK button. When the signal level is strong enough, check if "No Program" is
displayed on screen. If "No program" is displayed, this means there is no data in the broadcast. In
this case, AUTO TUNER SETUP needs to be exe cuted again, or you need to select the broadcast
again after the broadcasting station restarts their program.
Others
When receiving ATSC or playing back i.LINK, this TV's self-diagnose function will operate if the
TV senses and detects an unusual while receiving signals. The Reboot function will automa tically
execute when necessary. At this time, picture and audio will stop for about 10 seconds, and any
timer-recording programs will also be canceled.
What's EPG ?
EPG, stands for Easy Programming Grid, which is a function that allows you to record a TV
3
program easily or set a viewing timer using the program information sent by an ATSC broadcast.
This TV can also receive content information of TV programs, too. However, sometimes the
information might not be sent properly or not be displayed properly depending on the
broadcasting stations.
EPG also allows you to record a program by connecting an Analog recordin g device, or t o reco rd
in D-VHS mode by connecting using i.LINK. With an Analog connection, you need to set a
recording timer on the VCR as well. With regard to EPG functions, please note the following
things.
Recording and timer recording by EPG
You can set the Rec Timer View Timer easily. The View timer is available only when TV power is
set to ON. If the clock time passes a programmed time, the timer program will be erased. This TV
executes the timer indicator of A TSC and the timer-recording operation b ased on time information
that is sent by a broadcasting station. Sometimes, the time information might be wrong depending
on the signal of that broadcasting station. Therefore, please be aware of the following things
regarding the timer recording operation.
z
When trying a timer recording, if you turn the TV off from a channel which was sending the
wrong time, the timer recording will not operate as you set it, even though the programmed
time passes the actual time. Be careful with the time indicator of broadcasting stations.
z
While you watch a program which is broadcast in a wrong time, you might not be able to
check the other broadcasting station's TV program list by EPG. This is because there is a big
time difference among each broadcasting station.
z
Using Easy Rec Timer, if a timer recording is set for a program which has already starting its
broadcast, the timer recording will start right after you complete setting the timer recording.
However, if the TV progra m will be over within 3 minutes, the timer recording will not operate.
z
Once a timer recorded program starts, a channel of the ATSC tuner can not be changed.
Also, it's impossible to display EPG during recording.
z
If you want to stop a timer recording which has already starting recording, you need to delete
the timer program from Timer List.
z
It's impossible to edit a timer setting that is set by EPG because the timer setting is
recognized as its event's timer setting. It's possible only to delete the timer setting.
Manual recording and viewing
Please note the following things when you set a timer recording manually
z
In case of manual setting, it's impossible to set a serial timer setting. Therefore, when setting
4
the timer recording of a serial TV program, the ending time of the first program needs to be
shortened by 1 minute, or the starting time of the next program needs to be delayed by 1
minute. Further, it's possible to set a timer recording of serial TV programs using EPG
system.
z
When setting "Stop Mode" in "Event" with the manual record setting, you need program
information from EPG. If you set a timer recording of a program which has no program
information, you only can select "Manual" for "Stop Mode". Furthermore, when setting a timer
recording in "Event", it's impossible to set Daily, Weekly, or Mon-Fri. Press BACK when
editing the timer recording in "Event".
z
When setting recording or timer recording, the default setting of the starting time is the
current time. If you want to start recording from the present time immediately, please be
aware that it's impossible to set the start time if it passes the displayed current time.
About i.LINK.
The TV supports the copy protection technologies of DTLA (Digital Transmission Licensing
Administer). It is impossible to record copy-limited broadcasting signals. When connecting to
other devices, only the operation of devices which support DTLA is guaranteed. In this TV, also
the picture of NTSC (480i) will not be outputted from the rear panel i.LINK port in order to protect
the copyrights. (If you need this function, you need to use the component output of D-VHS deck
and set it to 480i in DVHS deck menu).
Connectable devices
Currently, the i.LINK function of this TV can only be used for D-VHS decks. In the future, other
devices may become available to utilize i.LINK. This TV can connect with JVC High Definition
Camcorder GR-HD1 in MPEG mode through i.LINK, and you can use the fundamental functions,
but you can not use in GR-HD1 in DV mode. (This TV is not able to recognize DV signal .) If you
have trouble when connecting 2 or more JVC D-VHS devices, please set the LINC function of
JVC D-VHS to off.
Recording while monitoring the output of D-VHS and Recording control from D-VHS
Normally you can record a program through the i.LINK/Timer menu on this TV. You can record a
program with your VCR while monitoring D-VHS and control that recording with your TV or VCR
5
remote. However, if you are unable to monitor the program you wish to record, please push the
STOP key within the control menu of i.LINK/Timer. Once you push STOP, you should be able to
record the program. This operation will be needed especially for multi-channel broadcasting
situations. In the case of this recording way, you can change a channel and display EPG. Please
refer to "Recording and timer recording by EPG" on page 4.
Device recognition
i.LINK recognizes a connected device automatically. Also, this TV is recognized as a tuner by
other i.LINK devices because it takes a role of tuner. This TV can not recognize other tuners;
therefore, other tuners will not be listed in this TV's "Device List". Hence, it's impo ssible to watch a
program on this TV which is received by another tuner connected via i.LINK.
AutoPlay function
This TV has an AutoPlay function for D-VHS playback. While AutoPlay is set to on, this TV will
also be in i.LINK playback mode automatically as D-VHS is in playback mode. On the other hand,
if AutoPlay is set to off, it's impossible to watch a picture played back by D-VHS, unless you press
the Play key in the Controller Menu of the i.LINK/Timer.
