available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling.

Warnings

Screen Burn-in

By displaying ﬁ xed images for extended periods of time, can leave a subtle but permanent ghost image in your picture. This is referred to as "burn-in". 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.

Note: Warranty DOES NOT cover screen burn-in or uneven picture tube aging.

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.

For example...

TV on TV off

XYZ XYZ

Caring for the Screen

The screen is treated with an electrostatic-proof coating. When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft 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

How to move the cabinet

Your fingers may become trapped under the TV, causing injuries. Hold the TV at the bottom in the middle, and do not allow the TV to tilt up or down.

P O

W E R

Speaker panel note

Do not press hard on the speaker area at the bottom front panel of the TV . Doing so can cause a dent to occur on the plastic grid.

The TV may fall causing injuries. Hold the bottom of the stand with your hand and tilt the TV up or down.

Notes:

• This television model has three video inputs, therefore the INPUT 4 (V4) button on your

remote control will have no effect.

• For information on remote control buttons, see pages 47 - 55.

Quick Setup Getting Started

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 - Using the stand

This TV comes with a Table Top Stand already attached.

This stand can be used to adjust the direction of the TV screen 5º up, 10º down and 20º to the left or right.

Tilt the TV up or down

While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand, use your other hand to hold the middle of the top of the TV, and slowly tilt the TV up or down.

• As a safety measure, the stand is constructed so that it requires a certain amount of force to tilt the TV.

Rotate the TV left or right

While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand, use your other hand to hold the edge of the panel and slowly adjust the direction of the TV stand.

Cable Holder

A cable holder which keeps your connection cables tidy is attached on the back of the stand. Gently squeeze the left and right of the cable holder, and pull it to remove it from the stand. After putting the cables in the cable holder, attach it to the back of the stand again.

Quick Setup Getting Started

Step 2 – 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 23 - 26.

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.

Basic Operation

Turn the television on and off by pressing the POWER button at the top right corner of the remote. If this is the first time you are turning on the TV, the interactive plug-in menu appears.

• Make sure the TV/CATV switch is set to TV. Move the switch to CATV only if

you need to operate a cable box.

• Slide the VCR/DVD selector switch to VCR to control a VCR. Slide to

Step 3 - Connecting your devices

Remove the terminal cover

There are connection terminals behind the covers on the left and right in the back of the TV. Remove these two covers before connecting an antenna or other devices. The covers can be removed by removing the hook at the bottom and then pull out while slightly lifting. To replace the covers, first connect the hook at the top of the cover, and then insert the hook at the bottom.

Note:

• Leave the terminal covers off if they do not fit properly. Do

not force to replace the covers. Doing so may damage the connection cables and covers.

Connections

Please follow the flow chart below to determine which connection setup is right for you. Then, refer to the appropriate diagrams to connect your television to other devices that you may have. After you are finished connecting your devices, plug the power cord into the nearest power outlet and turn on the TV.

A VCR is not necessary for operation of the television. If you follow these diagrams and the television does not work properly, contact your local cable operator.

• To connect a DVD player, see Diagram #3. A DVD player is optional.

• If you have a satellite television system, please refer to the satellite TV manual.

2) Connect the DTV decoder LEFT AUDIO OUTPUT to the DIGITAL-IN LEFT AUDIO INPUT.

3) Connect the DTV decoder RIGHT AUDIO OUTPUT to the DIGITAL-IN RIGHT AUDIO INPUT.

• The Digital-In terminal can only be used with 1080i, 720p and 480p picture signals. Set

the DTV decode digital-out terminal output setting to 1080i, 720p or 480p. For detailed information, refer to the DTV decoder instruction manual. If you can not display the picture because your DTV decoder does not have a digital-out terminal output setting, use the component video input (or the S-Video input or video input). Refer to page 15. In this case the picture will be displayed as an analog signal.

• The digital-in terminal is not compatible with the picture signal of a personal computer.

• Use a DVI-D single link 19-pin cable (commercially available) in order to digitally connect the

television with a DTV decoder.

If 480p signals (640x480 or 720x480) are displayed on the screen, the horizontal balance may be slightly shifted. In cases such as this, the horizontal balance can be adjusted by accessing “DIGITAL-IN” in the INITIAL SETUP menu. (Refer to page 41.)

Before you use any of your TV’s timer functions, you must first set the clock. You may precisely set your clock using the XDS time signal broadcast by most public broadcasting stations. If you do not have this in your area, you will have to set the clock manually. See manual clock set below. To set the clock using the XDS signal:
