Thank you for buying this JVC LCD flat television.
To make sure you understand how to use your new TV, please read this manual thoroughly before you
begin. (“LCD” stands for Liquid Crystal Display.)
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
WARNING
• The TV may fall causing injuries. Hold the bottom of the
stand with your hand and tilt the TV up and down.
• Do not allow children to hang from the TV, place their
elbows on the TV or lean against the TV. Doing so may
cause the TV to fall over and lead to injuries.
CAUTION
• The TV screen may be damaged if the TV is carried as
shown in the diagram below.
The TV should always be carried by two people.
Pixel defects
LCDs use collections of fine points (“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.
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.

Failure to take the following precautions may cause damage to the television
or remote control.
DO NOT block the TV’s ventilation openings or holes.

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.
DO NOT subject the TV to direct sunlight.
Cleaning the screen
The screen is coated with a special thin film to reduce reflection. If this film is damaged, uneven
colors, discoloration, scratches, and other problems that cannot be repaired may occur. Pay
attention to the following when handling the screen.
• Do not use glue or adhesive tape on the screen.
• Do not write on the screen.
• Do not allow the screen to come in contact with any hard objects.
• Do not allow condensation to form on the screen.

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 forcefully.
Never use any cleaner or detergent on it.
If there is a fault, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself
or remove the rear cover.
CAUTION:
• Operate only from the power source specified (AC 110 – 240 V, 50/60 Hz) on the unit.

Pre-set download
The VCR will automatically download the

program channels on your VCR manually.
The preset download function automatically
begins when the initial setting is complete or
whenever you carry out the AUTO
PROGRAM or EDIT/MANUAL functions.
You can also carry out this function using
your VCR controls.
When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is
displayed:
If “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is
displayed, the download was not performed
correctly. Before trying to download again,
check that:
• the VCR power is turned on
• the VCR is T-V LINK compatible
• the VCR is connected to the EXT-2
terminal
• the SCART cable is fully wired.
Direct Rec
“What You See Is What You Record”
You can easily record to VCR the images
that you are watching on the TV.
For details, read the manual for your VCR.
Use your VCR controls. “DEVICE IS
RECORDING” is displayed.
In the following situations, the VCR
will stop recording if the TV is turned
off, if the TV channel or input is
changed, or if the menu is displayed
on the TV:
• when recording images from an external
device connected to the TV (for example
a camcorder)
• when recording a TV channel after it has
been unscrambled on a decoder
• when recording a TV channel by using the
TV’s output because the VCR’s own
tuner cannot properly receive that
channel.
You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your
TV’s control.
Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV
channel that it cannot receive properly on its
own tuner, even if you can view that TV
channel on the TV. However, some VCRs
can record a TV channel by using the TV’s
output if that channel can be viewed on the
TV. For details, see your VCR instruction
manual.
When the VCR is not ready, the following
messages are displayed.
