IMPORTANT RECYCLING INFORMATION
This product utilizes both a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and other components that contain lead. Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities, or the Electronic Industries Alliance: http://www.eiae.org
CAUTION:
Please read and retain for your safety.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV set has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. But improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this TV set, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing. Also follow all
warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.
INSTALLATION
1 Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one
blade of the plug is wider than the other). This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power outlet only one way. Should you be unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it still fail to fit, contact your electrician.
2 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the
operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer to the operating instructions.
3 Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords
and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service technician for replacement.
4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV set
where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.
5 Do not use this TV set near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.
6 If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection requirements for the grounding electrode.
(POLARIZED-TYPE)
Important Safeguards
• As an “ENERGY STAR®” partner, JVC has determined that this product or product model meets the “ENERGY STAR®” guidelines for energy efficiency.
7 An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
8 TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow heat generated during
operation to be released.
Therefore:
— Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV set by placing it on a bed, sofa,
rug, etc.
— Never place a TV set in a “built-in” enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided. — Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material. — Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat register.
9 To avoid personal injury:
— Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.
— Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV set manufacturer. — Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets. — Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.
10 Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet
openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or electrical shock.
11 Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or an aerosol
cleaner.
12 Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for this purpose. Such
additions may result in a hazard.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
Use
13 For added protection of the TV set during a lightning storm or when the TV set is to be left
unattended for an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning storms or power line surges.
14 A TV set and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the TV set and cart combination to overturn.
15 Unplug this TV set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions: A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. B. If liquid has been spilled into the TV set. C. If the TV set has been exposed to rain or water. D. If the TV set does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV set to normal operation.
E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way. F. When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for
service.
16 Do not attempt to service this TV set yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
17 When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify in writing that the
replacement parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use of manufacturer’s specified replacement parts can prevent fire, shock, or other hazards.
18 Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV set, please ask the service technician
to perform the safety check described in the manufacturer’s service literature.
19 When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a picture
tube implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the TV set.
20 Note to CATV system installer.
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Your television has three kinds of screen: SPLIT (2 channels), POP (4 channels), and INDEX (12 channels).
Two channels (or input) will now appear onscreen. The channel (or input) you were watching before pressing SPLIT will appear on the left, the new channel will appear on the right. The sound will continue to come from the main screen channel (or input). To turn split-screen off and return to normal television viewing, press SPLIT again or press the BACK button.
Activate the split-screen option by pressing SPLIT on the remote control.
Note:
• You can enter the SPLIT mode when the screen is in NORMAL, POP or INDEX mode.
• Split-screen functions will not work with locked channels or channels blocked by V-Chip ratings limits. A grey screen will display instead.
• With split screen, the picture from the component terminal and HDCP terminal will not be displayed.
• The aspect of MAIN CHANNEL PICTURE becomes 16:9 when you input the picture of 480p, 720p and 1080i from the component terminal and HDCP terminal.
• After you press the SELECT button, and select SPLIT SCREEN when you press the OK button, select normal screen. If you don’t operate, the MAIN CHANNEL SCREEN will be automatically selected about 8 seconds later.

Notes:
• This function will not work when the picture from all external input is displayed.
• SWAP function will not work.
Cable Box Note:
The 2–Tuner Multi Screen function may not operate when used with certain cable boxes. This is because while some models of cable boxes may receive up to 181 channels, and may only send the signal from one channel to your television. (Please refer to diagram on page
12). For the 2–Tuner Multi screen function to operate correctly, it must have access to all
available channels. Since the television is receiving the signal from only one channel from the cable box, it is impossible for the 2–Tuner Multi screen function to display a second, different channel. Because there are many different models of cable boxes in use today, if you are having problems operating your 2–Tuner Multi screen function feature with your cable box, we recommend you contact your local cable company for connection advice.

Troubleshooting

The following are not malfunctions.
• The television may make a creaking sound if the temperature of the room or the temperature of the inside of the television changes. If there is no problem with the screen or sound, then there is no need to worry.
• The operation of this television is not guaranteed below 0°C. If the power is turned on when the temperature is below 0°C, the picture may be disturbed. Use the television when the temperature is 0°C or higher.
• Although the picture may be temporarily disturbed and noise may be seen on the screen if the power is turned on immediately after it has been turned off, this is not a malfunction.
Refer to the table below to check the condition. If you think that there is a problem, contact the JVC Service Center where you purchased the television.
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.
