INSTRUCTIONS

LCT1781-001A

Thank you for buying this JVC colour television. To make sure you understand how to use your new TV, please read this manual thoroughly before you begin.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

WARNING

Always use the power cords which are supplied with the TV and receiver. Some power cords are supplied with this TV. Use the power cord which best suits the area in which you live, and insert it into a correctly earthed outlet. Failure to use the supplied power cord or to insert it into a correctly earthed outlet may result in electric shocks.

WARNING FOR TABLE TOP STAND:

To ensure safety in an emergency such as an earthquake, and to prevent accidents, ensure that measures are taken to prevent the TV dropping or falling over.

• Use the supplied screws to firmly attach the supplied hooks to the back of the TV, and use commercially available cord to fix the TV to rigid components such as walls and columns.

• The table top stand is an option.

ENGLISH

Supplied hooks

CAUTION:

• Operate only from the power source specified (AC 110 – 240 V, 50/60 Hz) on the unit.

• Avoid damaging the AC plug and power cord.

• When you are not using this unit for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from the main outlet.

• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Distance recommendations

Avoid improper installation and never position the unit where good ventilation is impossible. When installing this TV, distance recommendations must be maintained between the set and the wall, as well as inside a tightly enclosed area or piece of furniture. Keep to the minimum distance guidelines shown for safe operation.

Burn-in

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) is that displaying the same image for a long time causes a part of the image to stay on the screen (this is called phosphor burn-in).

Avoid burn-in as follows.



Use the PICTURE SHIFT function. To prevent burn-in, the picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down and to the left and right at regular intervals. See page 44 for details.

• Even if the PICTURE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture may shift to the left or right when the channel or input is changed.

 The PICTURE MODE function is initially set to BRIGHT. Unless the TV is being

watched in an extremely bright room, we recommend you change the PICTURE MODE setting to either STANDARD or SOFT. Doing so will reduce the chance of burn-in and extend the life of the PDP. See “PICTURE MODE” on page 30.

 Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.

While an image is displayed With power OFF

ENGLISH

19:03

Burn-in example

19:03

• Reduce CONTRAST and BRIGHT on the PICTURE menu (page 30) when viewing.

 Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 19).

Screen size is normally chosen to ensure that the picture is displayed on the entire screen. After viewing in the REGULAR mode in which black bands may occur at the left and right of the screen, it is recommended to change to the PANORAMIC mode to display the picture on the entire screen.

While an image is displayed With power OFF

Burn-in example

 Do not view for long periods of time using the MULTI-PICTURE function (page 21).

If Burn-in has occurred

If burn-in occurs, try the REFRESH function (page 38). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.

Note: Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Pixel defects

PDPs use collections of fine dots (“pixels”) to display images. While there is no problem with more than 99.99% of these pixels, please understand that a very small number of pixels may not light, or may light all the time.

Do not install the TV near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves

It may cause interference in images, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.

ENGLISH

Effect on infrared devices

There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.

Failure to take the following precautions may result in damage to the TV or remote control.

DO NOT block the TV’s ventilation openings or holes.

(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

DO NOT place anything on top of the TV.

(such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.)

DO NOT allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings.

(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the TV.

The surface of the TV screen is easily damaged. Be very careful with it when handling the TV. Should the TV screen become soiled, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never rub it hard. Never use any cleaner or detergent on it.

As both sides of speaker panel can be easily scratched, cleaning should be done carefully. If the speaker panel is dirty, please wipe with a soft cleaning cloth (such as the cloth used to clean a compact disc).

Speaker panels

In the event of a fault, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover.

PICTURE MANAGEMENT demonstration

 DIGITAL VNR

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the amount of ‘noise’ (‘snow’ or interference) in the original picture. You can choose from the three DIGITAL VNR function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

AUTO(LOW)/AUTO(HIGH):

The TV will automatically adjust the level of the DIGITAL VNR effect to match the amount of noise in the picture, giving you the best possible picture.

• If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too high it can make the picture less sharp. It is recommended you use the AUTO(LOW) setting if you can. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO(LOW) but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO(LOW) to AUTO(HIGH).

MIN:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the minimum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO(LOW) but feel that the sharpness of the original picture has not been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO(LOW) to MIN.

• The MIN setting is not suitable for lowquality pictures which contain a lot of noise.

AUTO(LOW)

AUTO AUTO

MAX:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the maximum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO(HIGH) but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO(HIGH) to MAX.

• The MAX setting is not suitable for highquality pictures which contain very little noise.

 Super DigiPure

The Super DigiPure function uses the latest in digital technology to give you a naturallooking picture. The Super DigiPure function includes the following two functions.

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a naturallooking picture by eliminating unnecessary edges from high-contrast and crisp images. For images with low-contrast, edges are added to produce a sharper, more detailed picture. You can choose from the three DigiPure function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

• If you set the DigiPure effect too high on a low-quality picture that contains a lot of noise, this may actually make the noise worse. We recommend you use the AUTO setting if you can.

Picture motion compensation function:

This function displays fast-moving pictures (for example, the players or ball in a football game) more smoothly and naturally on the screen.

• The effect level of the picture motion compensation function cannot be changed. The effect level is the same no matter which of the AUTO, MIN or MAX settings is used.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of the DigiPure effect to match the amount of noise in the picture, giving the best possible picture.

Troubleshooting

If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this troubleshooting guide carefully before you ask to have the TV repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the mains plug is disconnected from the mains outlet, or the TV aerial has problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.

Important:

• This troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose causes are not easy to decide. If you have a question when you are operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully, not this troubleshooting guide.

• If you follow the advice in this troubleshooting guide without any success, unplug the mains plug and ask for your TV to be repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or to remove the rear cover of the TV.

ENGLISH

 If you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the mains plug connected to the mains outlet?

• Is the power lamp lit? If not, press the A button on the TV.

• Make sure you set the PIP/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV on when the PIP/TV/DVD switch is set to the DVD position.

• Make sure you set the PIP/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV off when the PIP/TV/DVD switch is set to the DVD position.

 No picture or no sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel with very poor reception? If so, the BLUE BACK function will be activated: the entire screen becomes blue, and the sound is muted. If you still want to view the TV channel, follow the description “BLUE BACK” on page 38 to change the BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.

• If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel is incorrect, it may prevent the sound from being issued. Follow the description “EDIT/MANUAL” on page 39 to use the MANUAL function to try to change the SYSTEM setting.

– Have the TV and aerial been connected

properly? – Has the aerial cable been damaged? – Is the aerial pointing in the right

direction? – Is the aerial itself faulty?

• If the TV or aerial suffers interference from other equipment, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move any equipment such as an amplifier, personal computer, or a hair drier, that can cause interference away from your TV. Or try moving the TV. If the aerial suffers interference from a radio tower or highvoltage wire, please contact your local dealer.

• If the TV suffers interference from signals reflecting from mountains or buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will occur. Try to change the aerial’s direction or replace it with one with better directionality.

• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings correct? Follow the description “COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 32 to try to solve the trouble.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted properly? Follow the description “BRIGHT” and “COLOUR” on page 30 to try to adjust them properly.

• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may not record correctly.

 Poor picture

• If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture, there may be a problem with the aerial or aerial cable. Check the following to try to solve the problem:

Troubleshooting

• When viewing images from commercially available video software products, or videos from videotapes which have been recorded improperly, the top of the image may be distorted. This is due to the condition of the video signal. There is nothing wrong with the TV.

ENGLISH

• Since this TV is designed to make full use of the resolution of the original video source, the motion may appear unnatural when the video source is input with 576p progressive-scanning component signals. If this occurs, change the output setting of the connected device to 576i interlacescanning component signal output. See the instructions that came with the device for more information.

 Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow the description “BASS” or “TREBLE” on page 34.

• When TV channel reception is poor, it can be hard to hear stereo or bilingual sound. In this case, follow the description “STEREO / I • II” on page 34 to hear the sound more easily by changing it to a mono sound.

• If you cannot hear the normal sound even if the picture of the TV channel appears normally. Follow the description “EDIT/ MANUAL” on page 39 to use the MANUAL function to change the SYSTEM setting.

 If the TV does not respond to the

remote control

• Have the batteries of the remote control worn out? Follow the description “Putting the batteries into the remote control” on page 7 and replace them with new batteries.

• Have you attempted to use the remote control from the sides or rear of the TV or from more than seven metres away from the TV? Use the remote control in front of your TV or from less than seven metres away.

• When you are viewing a teletext programme, you cannot operate the menus. Press the 4 button to return to the ordinary TV programme, and then try operating the menus.

• If the TV suddenly stops responding,

press the A button on the receiver and turn off the TV. Press the A button again to turn on the TV. If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.

 Other issues

• If the CHILD LOCK function set to ON, you cannot operate the TV with the front control buttons of the TV. Set the CHILD LOCK function to OFF.

• When the SLEEP TIMER function or AUTO SHUTOFF function operates, the TV is automatically turned off. If the TV suddenly turns off, try to press the # (standby) button to turn on the TV once again. If the TV goes back to normal, there is no problem.

• When the TV is receiving a wide-screen signal (WSS) or a signal from an external device affecting the screen size, the ZOOM mode automatically changes. When you want to resume the previous ZOOM mode, press the c button again.

• If you bring magnetised equipment such as a speaker near to your TV, the picture may be warped or unnatural colours may appear at the corners of the screen. In this case, keep the equipment away from your TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use magnetically-shielded speakers instead.

• It takes a short period of time from the time an operation such as changing channels is performed until an image is displayed. This is not a fault. This is the time needed for the image to stabilize before it can be displayed.

• The TV may make a crackling sound due to a sudden change in temperature. The picture or sound may be normal. If you hear crackling sounds frequently while you are viewing the TV, there may be other causes. As a precaution, ask your service technician to inspect it.

• Touching the screen may cause you to feel a slight electric shock due to its static electricity. This is unavoidable due to the construction of the picture tube. It is not a problem with the TV. You can rest assured that this static discharge is not harmful.
