Thank you for purchasing this JVC multi-format monitor. Before using it, read and follow
all instructions carefully to take full advantage of the monitor’s capabilities.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING :

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS MONITOR TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION :

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

This monitor is equipped with a 3-blade grounding-type
plug to satisfy FCC rule. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your electrician.

FCC INFORMATION

CAUTION: Changes or modification not approved by

JVC could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

䡵 PRECAUTIONS

● Use only the power source specified on the unit.

(120 V AC, 50 Hz/60 Hz)

● Keep flammable material, water, and metal objects away
from the unit – especially the interior of the unit.

● This unit incorporates high voltage circuitry.
For your own safety and that of your equipment, do not
attempt to modify or disassemble this monitor.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

● Video or audio signals cannot be input to this monitor
without optional input cards.

● In these instructions, all explanations (except where noted)
refer to the DT-V1700CG with input cards installed.

SCREEN BURN

● It is not recommended to keep a certain still image
displayed on screen for a long time as well as displaying
extremely bright images on screen. This may cause a
burning (sticking) phenomenon on the screen of cathode-ray
tube. This problem does not occur as far as displaying
normal video playback motion images.

䡵 HANDLING

● Avoid shocks or vibrations. These may damage the unit and

cause it to malfunction.

● Do not block the ventilation slots.

● Do not expose this unit to high temperatures.

Extended exposure to direct sunlight or a heater could
deform the cabinet or cause the performance of internal
components to deteriorate.

● Do not place the unit near appliances generating strong
electric or magnetic fields. There can generate picture noise
and instability.

● Keep the monitor clean by wiping the cabinet and CRT
screen with a piece of soft cloth. Do not apply thinner or
benzine. These chemicals can damage the finish and erase
printed letters. When the unit is excessively dirty, use a
diluted neutral cleanser, then wipe away the cleanser with a
dry cloth.

DEGAUSS

● Do not use a magnet eraser to degauss the monitor’s
cathode ray tube from the outside. Doing so may distort its
aperture grill and cause a malfunction.
