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 in
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/off the unit, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are
explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 9
to 11.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent
damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Also warns you against actions which prevent
you from obtaining the best possible
performance from the unit.

Power sources

• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull 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 this 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, and then plug it in again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit 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.

Gives you information and hints you should
know.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold — between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat from building up in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

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

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

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.
