Warnings

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.

TV on

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 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. 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.

Warnings (Continued...)

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.

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

• For information on remote control buttons, see pages 60 - 70 and 74 - 79.

• i.LINK MENU, TIMER, SUB CHANNEL and GUIDE buttons are for digital channels. If your TV is connected to an ATSC antenna or Digital Cable, you can use these buttons.

Quick Setup Getting Started

Getting Started

These quick setup pages will provide you, in four 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 20° to the left or right.

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.

Remove the terminal cover

There are connection terminals behind the cover on the left in the back of the TV. Remove the cover before connecting an antenna or other devices. The cover can be removed by removing the hooks. When replacing the cover, place the side of the cover against the TV and insert the hooks.

Note:

• Leave the terminal cover off if they do not fit properly. Do not force to replace the cover. Doing so may damage the connection cables and cover.

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 29 - 32.

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.

Connecting to a HDMI Compatible Device

By connecting a HDMI compatible device, high definition pictures can be displayed on your TV in their digital form. Some HDMI devices can include DVD players, D-VHS or any HDMI compatible device.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry supported, uncompressed, all digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides and interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, A/V receiver or an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).

Connecting an i.LINK compatible device to the back of your television

i.LINK is a digital serial interface that allows devices equipped with an i.LINK connector to exchange digital video signals, digital audio signals and device control signals bi-directionally over a single cable. (For example, a JVC D-VHS VCR).

i.LINK refers to the IEEE1394-1995 industry specification and extensions thereof. The logo is used for products compliant with the i.LINK standard.

This projection television uses a four-pin i.LINK connector to input and output MPEG2 video signals, audio signals and control signals.

i.LINK Compatible Device

1) Connect the i.LINK cable from underneath the TV to the back of the i.LINK compatible

device.

Notes:

• Use only the S400 i.LINK cable when connection your devices.

• See page 75 on how to select the i.LINK device.

• Refer to your owners manual on using your i.LINK device.

• When recording or playing back video with an i.LINK device, if you perform the Auto Tuner Setup, the video signal you are recording or playing back may stop or you may not be able to perform the Digital Auto Tuner Setup.

• Your television can connect with i.LINK D-VHS decks and HD-Camcorders (JVC brand only). If you connect other brand devices, with i.LINK cable, they will not work.

• It can play only the recorded contents in Digital Mode.

• Use only tapes bearing the DVHS (SVHS) mark for recording.

Quick Setup Plug-In Menu

Step 4 – The Interactive Plug In Menu

When you turn your television on for the first time the interactive plug-in menu will appear. The plug-in menu helps you to get your TV ready to use by letting you set your preferences for:

• The language in which you want the onscreen menus to appear.

• Setting the TV’s clock to the correct time so your timer functions will work properly. You can choose “AUTO” or “MANUAL” for setting the clock.

• The auto tuner setup of which channels you wish to receive.

We recommend you complete the interactive plug-in items before you start using your television.

Notes:

• The interactive plug-in menu setting does not appear if your TV has been turned on before. In this case use the onscreen menus to perform these settings. See pages 46, 58, 36.

• If you press the Menu button while setting up the interactive plug-in menu, it will skip over it.

Language

After the “JVC INTERACTIVE PLUG IN MENU” has been displayed, the TV automatically switches to the LANGUAGE settings. You can choose to view your onscreen menus in three languages: English, French (Français) or Spanish (Español).
