IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 electri- cal 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. And 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).
(POLARIZED-TYPE)
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS TV SET TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION: TO INSURE PERSONAL SAFETY,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RULES REGARDING THE USE OF THIS UNIT.
1. Operate only from the power source speci­fied on the unit.
2. Avoid damaging the ACplug and power cord .
3. Avoid Improper installation and never posi­tion the unit where good ventilation is unat­tainable.
4. Do not allow objects or liquid into the cabi­net openings.
5. In the event of trouble, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover.
Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the warranty.
* When you don’t use this TV set for a long period of time, be sure to disconnect both the power plug from the AC outlet and antenna for your safety.
* To prevent electric shock do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, recepta­cle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
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 TVset, be sure the
this purpose. Such additions may result in a hazard .
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 s t o rms or power line surg e s .
14 A TVset and cart combination should be moved with care .
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the TV set and cart combination to overt u rn .
SERVICE
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 c o v e red in the operating instructions as improper adjust­ment of other controls may result in damage and will often re q u i re extensive work by a qualified technician to re s t o re
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 perform-
ance — this indicates a need for service.
1 6 Do not attempt to service this TVset yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service person­n e l .
17 When replacement parts are re q u i red, have the service tech-
nician verify in writing that the replacement parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the original part s . Use of manufacture r’s specified replacement parts can pre­vent fire, shock, or other hazard s .
18 Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV s e t ,
please ask the service technician to perf o rm the safety check described in the manufacture r’s service literature .
19 When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper dis-
posal could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified s e rvice 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.
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some pro t e c t i o n against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with re s p e c t to proper grounding of the mast and supporting stru c t u re , g rounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection re q u i rements for the grounding electro d e .
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.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
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 re g i s t e r.
9 To avoid personal injury:
— Do not place a TVset on a sloping shelf unless properly secure d . — Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV s e t
m a n u f a c t u re r.
— Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresh-
olds or deep pile carpets.
— Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by
the manufacturer.
USE
10 Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set
t h rough cabinet openings. Some internal parts carry hazard o u s 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
Precautions About Video
Precautions for Recording TV Programs
About Copyright
The recordings you make from TV programs or pre­recorded tapes cannot be used without permission from the copyright holders, except when they are used solely for personal enjoyment.
Trial Recording Before Making Important Recordings
Make a trial recording before an important program to be sure that you can record and playback audio and video properly.
Disclaimer:
JVC assumes no liability for failure to record or playback audio and video properly with this unit.
Precautions About Video Cassettes
Keep these points in mind while working with video cassettes.
Recording
• If you record on a previously recorded tape, the original content will be automatically erased.
• Video cassettes cannot be reversed or “flipped over”
like audio cassettes.
Handling Cassettes Properly
• To store cassettes, place them inside their cases. The cases should then be stored vertically.
• Do not drop cassettes, or give them any other hard shock.
• Rewind cassettes before storing.
• Do not repeatedly load and unload tapes without running them in between.
Do Not Store in the Following Places
• Exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating device.
• Exposed to excessive humidity, smoke, or dust.
• Near a strong magnet (including speakers).
Prevent Accidental Erasure
Remove the small plastic tab at the rear of the cassette. Without this tab, the cassette cannot be used for record­ing. It is recommended that you remove the tabs from important cassettes to prevent accidental erasure. To record on a cassette whose tabs have been removed, cover the tab hole with two layers of adhesive tape.
Precautions About Moisture Condensation
What is Moisture Condensation?
When you put cold water into a glass, water droplets form on its surface. This phenomenon is called moisture condensation.
If Moisture Condensation Occurs
The video unit may fail to operate, or may operate errati­cally potentially damaging the unit and video cassettes.
When Does Condensation Occur?
• When equipment is moved from a colder to a warmer place.
• Immediately after a room heater is started.
• When the unit is exposed to a cold air flow (like from an air conditioner).
• In high humidity or when steam is present.
To Prevent Condensation
• Wait about an hour before operating the unit so that it can become accustomed to the room conditions.
• Provide proper ventilation.
If the unit fails to operate or operates poorly and you think condensation may be the cause, turn the unit’s power off and wait a few hours before trying to operate the unit again.
Enjoying Clear Video
Cleaning the Video Heads
After a long, or frequent use, the video heads inside the unit may become dirty, possibly resulting in poor picture quality. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended you clean the unit frequently with a head cleaning cassette (TCL-2 or 3, sold separately).
If Video Quality is Still Poor After Cleaning
Try cleaning the unit two or three times instead of just once. If the repeated cleaning still fails to produce better picture quality, an internal malfunction may be the cause. Call your local dealer for servicing.

CONNECTIONS CHECKLIST - READ ME FIRST
The Connections Checklist section of this guide is a list of ideas to keep in mind while you setup your new TV. It is designed to help us not-so-technically-minded individuals make our connections properly. If you read this section and still can’t identify the plugs, connectors and components you have, please ask someone for help in making your connections.
1) Always refer to the connection instructions in the user’s guide for your components first. The manufacturer will provide the most detailed information about their products.
2) Know your jacks and plugs - most are color coded:
• Yellow plugs are for Video connections
• Red plugs are for Right Audio connections
• White or Black plugs are Left Audio (or Mono)
connections. If your camcorder is a stereo model, use a stereo-to-monaural conversion cable to connect to the TV/VCR combo. Conversion cables may be purchased separately.
3) Perform one connection at a time. If you have several accessories to connect, make sure each connection is correct by checking to see that it works properly before trying the next connection.
4) Unplug the power cord during each connection.
5) Follow the In and Out Concept. Remember In and
Out - the Output jack from one device will go to the Input jack of the other. Read the jack panels, they are all labeled.

Introduction
The Plug In Menu comes up automatically when you first turn on the TV/VCR Combo after plugging it in. The Plug In Menu helps you to get your Combo ready to use by letting you set your preferences for:
• The Language in which you want the onscreen menus to appear,
• The Auto Tuner Setup of which channels you wish to receive,
• VCR Plus+ Guide Setup to get your Combo unit ready for easy recording of your favorite programs,
• Setting the TV’s clock to the correct time so your timer functions will work properly.
Descriptions of each of the Plug In Menu features appear on the next three pages. We recommend you complete the Plug In Menu setup first so your TV/VCR Combo is set up just the way you want, right away.

Some Sound Advice
You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS menu screen. Unfortunately, while many programs are originally broadcast in stereo, some cable companies may “squash” the
transmission to mono sound because they have only mono equipment. If you are connected to a
cable system, the sound quality is determined
by the cable company. If they broadcast only in mono, you will receive only mono sound, even if
the program was aired in stereo.
Fortunately, most stereo programs are broadcast by the major television networks. If you connect an antenna to your TV instead of
cable and set the tuner mode in Auto Tuner Setup to “Air” instead of “Cable” you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in their
original stereo format.
You can leave the Sound Settings menu at any time by pressing the EXIT button on the remote control.

NOTES:

INDEX SEARCH +
Scans tape forward for index marks. If there are numerous programs recorded on one tape, you can press the Index Search button a number of times to search for that number of marks. (For example four presses will move ahead four index marks.) A recording up to nine index marks ahead may be accessed.
INDEX SEARCH -

Tracking Adjustment
During playback, if tracking (the alignment of the video heads on the video cassette tape) deviates, an unclear picture is displayed. This TV/VCR combo is equipped with an automatic tracking function. But, there are cases when manual tracking adjustment may be needed. They include:
• When the Auto Tracking does not work properly and the picture remains unclear.
• If the picture moves vertically during playback. To manually adjust tracking, open the cover of the TV/VCR combo front panel.
CHANNEL + and CHANNEL - on the front panel simultaneously during playback.
• No special tracking indication will appear onscreen.
Either the CHANNEL + or CHANNEL - buttons to reduce the disturbance or vertical vibration of the picture.
• Once the video cassette is removed, manual tracking will automatically be turned off.
• Index marks are a function of JVC-brand video decks. Therefore Index Search cannot be used on commercially produced tapes or tapes recorded on non-JVC brand VCR’s since these tapes will not have the JVC index marks recorded on them.
• If you try to begin an Index Search at a point on the tape between two programs, index search may not work correctly. Either fast-forward or rewind the tape a bit and try index search again.

Notes for Canadian customers regarding the clock feature of the TV-20241
The XDS and EDS signals are carried only by certain broadcast television stations (for example, the signal is carried by most Public Broadcasting Service stations). You must be able to receive a station carrying the XDS or EDS signal to use the Semi-Auto feature to set your TV/VCR's internal clock. If you live in an area that does not broadcast XDS or EDS signals, you must set the clock manually. Please see page 15 for instructions on how to manually set your TV/VCR's clock.
Special note for residents of Newfoundland.
The Set Clock (Semi-Auto) feature cannot be used to set the TV/VCR's internal clock to Newfoundland time. The time zone command does not include a setting for the Newfoundland time zone. Trying to use the Semi-Auto feature in the Newfoundland time zone could result in an incorrect time setting or no setting at all. Please set your TV/VCR's clock using the “Set Clock - Manual” option.
