Introduction

English

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to

obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual

for future reference.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• The manual mainly explains operations using the

buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the
buttons on the remote control if they have the same or
similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.
If operation using the remote control is different from
that using the unit, it is then explained.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated for
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/off the unit, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, etc., which are
explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 9
to 11.

• The following symbols are used in this manual:

Gives you warning and caution to prevent
damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Furthermore, it gives you information about
what is not good for obtaining the best possible
performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you should
know.

Precautions

Power sources

• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull
on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the
following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place

Should condensation occur, the unit may malfunction. In this
case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat
buildup inside the unit.

For safety, observe the following carefully:

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the
unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage
the unit.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation
openings or holes. If they are blocked by a
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be
able to get out.

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.

1

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before
operating any further.

• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no
user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
