SECTION 1
PRECAUTION
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(1) The design of this product contains special hardware,
many circuits and components specially for safety purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the original design unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuits. Service should be performed by qualified personnel only.
(2) Alterations of the design or circuitry of the products should
not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer's warranty and will further relieve the manufacturer of responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
(3) Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have
special safety-related characteristics. These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in the parts list of Service manual. Electrical components
having such features are identified by shading on the schematics and by ( ) on the parts list in Service manual. The use of a substitute replacement which does
not have the same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part shown in the parts list of Service manual may cause shock, fire, or other hazards.
(4) Don't short between the LIVE side ground and
ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) side ground or EARTH side ground when repairing.
Some model's power circuit is partly different in the GND. The difference of the GND is shown by the LIVE : ( ) side GND, the ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) : ( ) side GND and EARTH : ( ) side GND. Don't short between the LIVE side GND and ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) side GND or EARTH side GND and never measure the LIVE side GND and ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) side GND or EARTH side GND at the same time with a measuring apparatus (oscilloscope etc.). If above note will not be kept, a fuse or any parts will be broken.
(5) When service is required, observe the original lead dress.
Extra precaution should be given to assure correct lead dress in the high voltage circuit area. Where a short circuit has occurred, those components that indicate evidence of overheating should be replaced. Always use the manufacturer's replacement components.
(6) Isolation Check (Safety for Electrical Shock Hazard)
After re-assembling the product, always perform an isolation check on the exposed metal parts of the cabinet (antenna terminals, video/audio input and output terminals, Control knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, earphone jack, control shafts, etc.) to be sure the product is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock.
a) Dielectric Strength Test
The isolation between the AC primary circuit and all metal parts exposed to the user, particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis should withstand a voltage of 3000V AC (r.m.s.) for a period of one second. (. . . . Withstand a voltage of 1100V AC (r.m.s.) to an appliance rated up to 120V, and 3000V AC (r.m.s.) to an appliance rated 200V or more, for a period of one second.) This method of test requires a test equipment not generally found in the service trade.
b) Leakage Current Check
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet (do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.). Using a "Leakage Current Tester", measure the leakage current from each exposed metal part of the cabinet, particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, to a known good earth ground (water pipe, etc.). Any leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.). However, in tropical area, this must not exceed 0.2mA AC (r.m.s.).
Alternate Check Method
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet (do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.). Use
an AC voltmeter having 1000 per volt or more sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1500 10W resistor paralleled by a 0.15µF AC-type capacitor
between an exposed metal part and a known good earth ground (water pipe, etc.). Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the AC voltmeter. Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part, particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, and measure the AC voltage across the resistor. Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and repeat each measurement. Any voltage measured must not exceed 0.75V AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to
0.5mA AC (r.m.s.). However, in tropical area, this must not exceed 0.3V AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to 0.2mA AC (r.m.s.).

1.3 HANDLING LCD PANEL
1.3.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION
When transporting the unit, pressure exerted on the internal LCD panel due to improper handling (such as tossing and dropping) may cause damages even when the unit is carefully packed. To prevent accidents from occurring during transportation, pay careful attention before delivery, such as through explaining the handling instructions to transporters. Ensure that the following requirements are met during transportation, as the LCD panel of this unit is made of glass and therefore fragile:
(1) USE A SPECIAL PACKING CASE FOR THE LCD PANEL
When transporting the LCD panel of the unit, use a special packing case (packing materials). A special packing case is used when a LCD panel is supplied as a service spare part.
(2) ATTACH PROTECTION SHEET TO THE FRONT
Since the front (display part) of the panel is vulnerable, attach the protection sheet to the front of the LCD panel before transportation. Protection sheet is used when a LCD panel is supplied as a service spare part.
(3) AVOID VIBRATIONS AND IMPACTS
The unit may be broken if it is toppled sideways even when properly packed. Continuous vibration may shift the gap of the panel, and the unit may not be able to display images properly. Ensure that the unit is carried by at least 2 persons and pay careful attention not to exert any vibration or impact on it.
(4) DO NOT PLACE EQUIPMENT HORIZONTALLY
Ensure that it is placed upright and not horizontally during transportation and storage as the LCD panel is very vulnerable to lateral impacts and may break. During transportation, ensure that the unit is loaded along the traveling direction of the vehicle, and avoid stacking them on one another. For storage, ensure that they are stacked in 2 layers or less even when placed upright.
1.3.2 OPTICAL FILTER (ON THE FRONT OF THE LCD PANEL)
(1) Avoid placing the unit under direct sunlight over a
prolonged period of time. This may cause the optical filter to deteriorate in quality and color.
(2) Clean the filter surface by wiping it softly and lightly with a
soft and lightly fuzz cloth (such as outing flannel).
(3) Do not use solvents such as benzene or thinner to wipe the
filter surface. This may cause the filter to deteriorate in quality or the coating on the surface to come off. When cleaning the filter, usually use the neutral detergent diluted with water. When cleaning the dirty filter, use water-diluted ethanol.
(4) Since the filter surface is fragile, do not scratch or hit it with
hard materials. Be careful enough not to touch the front surface, especially when taking the unit out of the packing case or during transportation.
1.3.3 PRECAUTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF EXTERIOR PARTS
Take note of the following when replacing exterior parts (REAR COVER, FRONT PANEL, etc.):
(1) Do not exert pressure on the front of the LCD panel (filter
surface). It may cause irregular color.
(2) Pay careful attention not to scratch or stain the front of the
LCD panel (filter surface) with hands.
(3) When replacing exterior parts, the front (LCD panel) should
be placed facing downward. Place a mat, etc. underneath to avoid causing scratches to the front (filter surface).

Warnings
We have an important note for customers who subscribe to basic cable services (do not have a separate cable box) and plan to use their JVC TV remote control to select channels.
Once you run the Auto Tuner Setup (which detects and programs all the channels your TV is receiving through the RF input), every channel number available from your cable company will appear in your television’s Channel Summary and they will all be marked as available for scanning. Even though every channel is detected and appears as available, you will only be able to view those that you specifi cally subscribe to from your cable company. This will likely mean there are blank channels between those channels you wish to scan or “surf”.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it is important to note that this is not a malfunction of your television. If you want to sequentially scan those channels you subscribe to without blank ones in between, you can contact your cable company for their cable box and remote.
Avoiding Ghost Images
Displaying fi xed images for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but temporary ghost image on your screen. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern.
Examples include, but are not limited to the following:
• Stock-market report bars
• Shopping channel logos and pricing
displays
• Video game patterns or scoreboards
• Bright station logos
• Internet web sites or other computer-style
images.
• DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs
• Broadcast, cable, satellite channels or
digital television tuners/converters.

Warnings (Continued...)
Caring for the Cabinet
Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.
If you wish to wipe down the television, 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 TV through the ventilation slots.
• DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.
• DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surface.
• DO NOT rub or scrub the TV 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.

Getting Started
These quick setup pages will provide you, in three easy steps, with the basic information you need to begin using your new television right away. If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult other sections of this manual.
Step 1 – The Remote Control
Before you can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).
Slide the cover on the back of the remote down towards the bottom of the remote control. Insert two batteries (included) carefully noting the “+” and “–” markings, placing the “–” end in the unit first. Slide the cover back into place.
When you change the batteries, try to complete the task within three minutes. If you take longer than three minutes, the remote control codes for your VCR, DVD, and/or cable box/satellite receiver may have to be reset. See pages 27 - 30.
Key Feature Buttons
The four key feature buttons at the center of the remote can be used for basic operation of the television. The top and bottom buttons will scan forward and back through the available channels. To move rapidly through the channels using JVC’s Hyperscan feature, press and hold CH+ or CH –. The channels will zip by at a rate of five channels per second. The right and left buttons will turn the volume up or down. These buttons are also marked with four arrows and are used with JVC’s onscreen menu system. To use the onscreen menus, press the M
ENU button.

Note (for Canadian viewers): The V-Chip function is based on specifications designed for the United States and therefore may not work properly in Canada.
You can customize the V-Chip settings of your television to match your personal tastes. The V-Chip menu below is the starting point for your V-Chip settings
You can use US V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from the United States), Canadian V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from Canada), and movie ratings.

PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned
Parents with children under 13 are cautioned that the content of movies with this rating may include more explicit sexual, language, and violence content than movies rated PG.
R – Restricted
These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for unsupervised children under the age of 17.

REGULAR - The regular ratio is used when you want to watch a 4:3 broadcast or recorded program without modifying the original picture to fit the dimensions of your 16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture will fill the screen from top to bottom, while black bars will appear to fill up the remaining space along the picture’s sides. The 4:3 picture will be centered within the boundaries of the 16:9 screen.

PROBLEMS CHECK
There is no power
• See if the power cord became unplugged.
• Check for a blown fuse or circuit breaker or a power outage.
There is no picture or sound
Remote control is not operating properly or at all
You cannot select a certain channel
The power turns off by itself
It does not operate correctly
The clock is wrong
• The antenna could be disconnected.
• The input mode could be set improperly. See page 64.
• The tuner (Auto Tuner Setup) could be set improperly. See page 34.
• The TV station may be having difficulties. Check to see if other stations are working.
• Use the HDMI cable with HDMI logo . See page 20.

2) When you have analog sound from a DVI device connected to the AUDIO IN "FOR HDMI 1" connection. (See page 19).
• When you have an HDMI device connected to the HDMI 1 connection on the back of your TV, your TV detects it, and blocks the analog audio signal coming into the "FOR HDMI 1” jacks. Therefore, you can not hear any analog sound from the other device conected to the "FOR HDMI 1" jacks, while you are viewing the images from the HDMI device. (See page 20).
• Check to see that the batteries are still working and properly installed.
• Make sure the remote has a clear sight path to the TV.
• Check that the TV/CATV switch is in the proper position.
• You may be too far from the TV. You must be within 23 feet (7 meters).
• Make sure the channels have been programmed. See "Channel Summary", page 35.
• Check to see if the channel is locked. See "Channel Summary - Lock" page 36.
• Make sure the set did not become unplugged.
• Perhaps the On/Off Timer is set. See page 61.
• Check to see if the Sleep Timer was set. See page 67.
• This television is operated by a microprocessor. It is possible that external noise or interference is causing the problem.
