Setting up your TV

• When you install the TV on the wall, only use a JVC wall mounting unit (optional) which is designed for this TV.

• Make sure that the TV is installed on the wall by a skilled installer.

Installation

Cautions for installation

• Install the TV in a corner on a wall or on the floor so as to keep cords out of the way.

• The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient space is available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling. See “Distance recommendations” on page 4.

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 5° up, 10° down, and 20° to the left or right.

 Tilt the TV up and 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 and down.

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

 Rotate the TV to the left and 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 screen.

LT-32&26D50BJSJ_Eng.book Page 9 Thursday, October 7, 2004 4:42 PM

Setting up your TV

Connecting the aerial

For viewing digital terrestrial signals only, connect the antenna directly to the digital aerial socket.

• The connecting cables are not provided.

• For further details, refer to the manuals provided with the devices to be connected.

Caution

• Turn off all the equipment including the TV before connecting anything.

 If you connect via a device with an

antenna terminal such as a VCR, follow A → B → C in the diagram opposite.

 If you connect the antenna

directly to the TV, follow 1.

• For viewing digital terrestrial and analogue TV signals, using a two-way signal splitter, connect one output to the digital aerial socket, the other output to the analogue aerial socket.

Without terminal covers

Aerial

It is possible to view analogue TV & teletext by using the VCR tuner, this can be achieve by switching to the EXT input to which the 21 pin SCART cable linking the TV and VCR is connected.

• To connect more equipment, please see “Connecting external equipment” on page 63.

• To connect additional audio equipment, see “Connecting speakers/amplifier” on page 66.

• When receiving Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T), reception can suddenly be lost if the signal becomes weak. Use a correctly installed highperformance antenna.

• When connecting via a device with an antenna terminal such as a VCR, depending on the connection method, the signal may be weakened. If this happens, use a booster to increase the signal strength.

• In areas with a lot of radio communication such as near ports or airports, noise may be introduced into the picture or sound. In such cases, reception may be improved by using a high-performance antenna.

• Read the instruction manual of the devices which you connect to the TV.

 Pre-set download

The VCR will automatically download the registered data on the TV Analogue terrestrial broadcasting channels from the TV. This means you do not need to set up 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

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.

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.

Basic operations (Remote control)

• 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 progressive-scanning component signals. If this happens, change the output setting of the connected device to interlacescanning component signal output. See the instructions that came with the device for more information.

• The PC sound is the same as the EXT-3 sound.

If a WSS signal is not included, the picture is displayed according to the ZOOM mode set with the 4:3 AUTO ASPECT function.

• For details of the 4:3 AUTO ASPECT function, see “4:3 AUTO ASPECT” on page 48.

This stretches the left and right sides of a normal picture (4:3 aspect ratio) to fill the screen, without making the picture appear unnatural.

This mode may result in information such as headlines or rolling text at the very top or bottom of the screen not being fully viewable on some programmes. In such cases the picture can be moved up or down using 6 keys, alternatively switch to FULL mode.

14:9 ZOOM:

This zooms up the wide picture (14:9 aspect ratio) to the upper and lower limits of the screen.

16:9 ZOOM:

This zooms up the wide picture (16:9 aspect ratio) to the full screen.

16:9 ZOOM SUBTITLE:

This zooms up the wide picture (16:9 aspect ratio) with subtitles to the full screen.

FULL:
