SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards, but like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of
equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug
when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way
—switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended
operation or has a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is
illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s
approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case—this

could result in a fatal electrical shock.

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!

Introduction

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 on the remote control.
You can use the buttons both on the remote control and
on the unit for the same operations if they have the
same or similar names (or marks), unless mentioned
otherwise.

• 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
and 10.

• The following marks 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.

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 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.

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.
