iMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION:

Please read and retain for your safety.
Electricai energy can perform many useful functions. This TV set has been engineered and
manufactured to assure your personai safety. But improper use can reauJt in potential

electrical shock or fire hazards! in order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this TV
set, observe the following basic ruies for its instailation, use and servicing.

And also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.

1) Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one blade of the plug is wider than
the other).

(POLARIZED:TYPE)

This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power outtet only one way. Should you be
unable to insert the plug fuity 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 toil 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.

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 buiit=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.

We recommend that before you start using your new television, you read your entire User's
Guide so you can learn about your new television's many great features. But if you're anxious

to start using your television right away, a quick setup guide follows on the next three pages.

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, This information includes basic instructions

on operating your remote control, making a simple cable!antenna and optional VCR connection
and, finally, information on programming your television's Auto Tuner.

if you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult
other sections of this manual.

Step One -The Remote Control

The remote control is the key to operating your television's many great features. Before you
can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).

Slide the cover on the back of the remote down towards the bottom of the remote control.
insert two batteries (included) carefully noting the "+" and "-" markings, placing the "-" end in

the unit first. Slide the cover back into place.

Basic Operation

Turn the television on and off by pressing the POWER button at the top right corner of the
remote.

Power Button 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. The right and left buttons will turn the volume up or down. These buttons are atso
marked with four arrows and are atso used with JVC's onscreen menu system. You will need

to use these buttons later in the Quick Setup.

The next step is to connect your television to an antenna or cable.

Proceed to Step Two

Step Two o Making Basic Connections

Next you will need to connect your television to an antenna, VCR or cable system. The most
basic VCR and antenna!cable connection is shown below. For more detaiIed connections,

such as ones where a cable box is required, or connecting with a combination of a cable box
and VCR, home stereo system, etc., see pages 12 to 20.

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).

stereo will be played by the TV in stereo. Programs broadcast in mono sound only will be

played in mono sound.

Select MONO if you are receiving a weak signal. Mono sound will usuaity give clearer sound

played in mono sound only by the television.
Select SAP (Second Audio Program) to listen to an alternate soundtrack (if one is being

broadcast). Alternate soundtracks may be the dialog of a program in a different language or
additional information about a program topic. A logo will appear at the beginning of a

program with SAP to inform you that an alternate soundtrack is available.

Some Sound Advice

You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AiR arrow in the
MTS menu. Unfortunately, some cable companies may "squash" the transmission of stereo

programs because they have only monaural equipment, if you are connected to a cable
system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company, if they broadcast only monaural

signals, your television will only receive a mono signal even if the program was originally
broadcast in stereo.

Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television
networks, if you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the tuner mode in

the AUTO TUNER SETUP to "AIR" instead of "CABLE" you will be able to pick up stereo
broadcasts in stereo.

is because while some models of cable boxes may receive up to 181 channels, and may only

send the signai from one channel to your television. (Please refer to diagram on page 14).
For the 2-Tuner Muiti screen function to operate correctly, it must have access to ail available

channels. Since the television is receiving the signai from only one channel from the cable
box, it is impossible for the 2-Tuner Multi screen function to display a second, different

channel. Because there are many different models of cable boxes in use today, if you are
having problems operating your 2-Tuner Multi screen function feature with your cable box, we

recommend you contact your local cable company for connection advice.

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.

Caring for the Screen

The screen of the AV=56WP30 or AV=48WP30 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.
