Warnings
Caring for the Cabinet
Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your monitor clean.
If you wish to wipe down the monitor, 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 monitor through the ventilation slots.
• DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the monitor.
• DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the monitor’s surface.
• DO NOT rub or scrub the monitor harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.
Caring for the Screen
The screen 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.

Warnings
Thank you for purchasing a JVC HDTV-ready projection monitor which uses the high-quality
HD-ILA projection system. This is one of the highest quality and most technologically advanced
monitor available today. It is recommended that you read this instruction manual before using
your monitor in order to learn about it’s many features. Cautions related to the safe use of the
device and important information which will help you to be able to use this device for a long time
is in the Appendix. Once again, thank you for purchasing this monitor and please enjoy using it.
In order to use the monitor for a long time
This monitor uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Before using this monitor,
please read the safety cautions and information about this monitor which are summarized below.
1. When the power is turned on, the warming up commences
This monitor uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Once the lamp has warmed up,
you can enjoy the pictures at their full brightness. What happens when the power is turned on is
explained below. Immediately after the power is turned on, since the lamp has not had time to
warm up, the picture is displayed only dimly on the screen. As the lamp warms up, the picture
becomes brighter. It takes approximately one minute for the lamp to warm up to it’s normal
operating temperature. There are 2 LED indicators on the front panel of the monitor that can be
used as a guide. When the POWER button is pressed, the LAMP LED indicator blinks in orange
for approximately 1 minute at approximately every 2 seconds, and then goes out.
Note: It is impossible to turn the power off during this period. After 1 or more minutes have
passed, you can turn off the power.
2. Cooling the inside of the monitor and the lamp
Cooling is also performed while the monitor is being shut down.
When the POWER button is pressed to turn off the power, the following operations are
performed. When the monitor is turned off, the picture on the screen disappears. Once the
screen is dark, cooling is performed for approximately 90 seconds. When the cooling is being
performed, the LAMP LED indicator on the front panel blinks in orange at approximately every
3 seconds. The monitor can not be operated while the cooling is being performed. After
the cooling has been performed for 90 seconds, the power is turned off. Do not remove
the electrical plug until after the cooling process has completed. If the electrical plug is
removed before the cooling process has completed, the internal circuits and lamp may overheat
leading to the life of the lamp being shortened and the possibility of malfunctions.
Do not block the ventilation holes.
Do not block the ventilation holes while the power is turned on. Do not block the air intake holes
behind the speaker grills.
3. The lamp is a consumable item
Replace the lamp when it has blown or when the picture becomes dark. The lamp is a user
replaceable item. The lamp must be recycled. For a detailed explanation on how to recycle the
lamp, refer to the Appendix and the instructions that are included with the replacement lamp kit.
The life of the lamp changes depending on the atmospheric temperature and altitude in which
the monitor is being used.
6
Warnings
4. The monitor requires a lot of electrical power
It is recommended that the monitor is connected directly to the wall socket, and not to another
device. When connecting the monitor to a wall socket that is being used by another device, or
when using an extension cord, be careful not to exceed the electrical capacity of the socket.
Do not turn the power on and off repeatedly in a short amount of time.
It subjects the monitor and the lamp to stress and may lead to malfunctions and the life of the
lamp being shortened.
5. The screen is made of plastic
Handle the screen very carefully as it can scratch easily. Do not rub, hit or press on it with any
hard objects. When the screen is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Refer to the Appendix for
details on how to clean the screen.
6. Caution! Warm air from the air ducts
This unit has an air duct for cooling. The duct will blow warm air while the monitor is operating.
When placing the monitor, make sure not to locate it too close to wallpaper. The warm air could
cause the color of the wallpaper to change. Also, take care to keep children and pets away from
the warm air ducts. Long exposure to the warm air from the ducts could cause a minor burn.
7. Caution! Moving this monitor
When lifting this monitor, Do not hold by the screen frame. Holding the screen frame could
cause it to detach, causing the monitor to fall.
8. Do not replace the lamp immediately after use
The lamp becomes extremely hot during use. If the lamp is touched immediately after use
before it has a chance to cool down, there is a danger of burns. Be careful when handling the
lamp.
9. Do not touch the lamp glass
If the lamp is used when there is dirt from fi ngers on the lamp glass, there is a possibility of the
lamp breaking. Be careful not to touch the lamp glass.
10. ILA element characteristics
Do not project still pictures or pictures that have still segments for a long period of time. The still
parts of the picture may remain on the screen. This is a characteristic of ILA elements and not a
malfunction. The picture will disappear over time.
11. Condensation
When a heater is turned on or the monitor is moved from a cold place to a hot place, droplets
of water may form on the lamp and screen. This is called condensation. If the monitor is used
while this condensation is still present, the picture may seem distorted, and the inside of the
screen may become dirty. In this case, wait until the condensation has gone before using the
monitor.
12. Do not open the rear cabinet of this monitor
This monitor has a DIGITAL-IN terminal. Opening up the rear cabinet will violate the copyright of
the program or software shown on the monitor. Please do not open the rear cabinet.
13. Usable Time
Do not keep the monitor on for more than 24 hours consecutively. There is a possibility of the
life of the lamp being shortened.

Connecting to an HDMI Compatible Device
By connecting an HDMI compatible device, high definition pictures can be displayed on your
monitor in their digital form. Some HDMI devices can include DVD players, D-VHS or any
HDMI compatible devices.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry supported, uncompressed, all
digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides and interface between any audio/video source,
such as a set-top box, DVD player, A/V receiver or an audio and/or video monitor, such as a
digital monitor (DTV).

1) Connect the HDMI Cable from the DIGITAL OUT on the back of your DTV or HDMI device, to
the HDMI1 DIGITAL-IN on the back of your monitor.
Notes:
• When you do the above connection, set DIGITAL-IN AUDIO in the Initial Setup menu to
DIGITAL. See "DIGITAL-IN AUDIO", page 44.
• Some decoders may not respond depending on the equipment that you have connected
when it is connected to the HDMI.
• If the HDMI output device signal is changed (for example, 480i/60Hz is changed to
480p/60Hz), the screen may turn green and there may be some distortion for a short time
until the signal becomes stable.
• When you have an HDMI device connected to the HDMI 1 connection on the back of your
monitor, your monitor detects it, and blocks the analog audio signal coming into the "HDMI 1"
jack. Therefore, you can not hear any analog sound from the other device conected to the
"HDMI 1" jack, while you are viewing the images from the HDMI device.
