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 onTV off
XYZXYZ
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.

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.
PO
WE
R
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.

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.

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.

the television, and then tighten the 2 screws.
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.)

Movies Ratings
q NR – Not Rated
This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries
which do not use the MPAA ratings system. Other NR films may be from amateur
producers who didn’t intend to have their film widely released.
NR (Not Rated) Programming may contain all types of programming including children’s
programming, foreign programs, or adult material.
q G – General Audience
In the opinion of the review board, these films contain nothing in the way of sexual content,
violence, or language that would be unsuitable for audiences of any age.
q PG – Parental Guidance
Parental Guidance means the movie may contain some contents such as mild violence,
some brief nudity, and strong language. The contents are not deemed intense.
q PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned
Parents with children under 13 are cautioned that the content of movies with this rating
may include more explicit sexual, language, and violence content than movies rated PG.
q R – Restricted
These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for
unsupervised children under the age of 17.
q NC-17 – No One Under 17
These movies contain content which most parents would feel is too adult for their children
to view. Content can consist of strong language, nudity, violence, and suggestive or explicit
subject matter.
q X – No One under 18
Inappropriate material for anyone under 18.

Cable Box Note:
The 2–Tuner Multi Screen function may not operate when used with certain cable boxes.
This is because while some models of cable boxes may receive up to 181 channels, and may
only send the signal from one channel to your television. (Please refer to diagram on page
15). For the 2–Tuner Multi screen function to operate correctly, it must have access to all
available channels. Since the television is receiving the signal from only one channel from the
cable box, it is impossible for the 2–Tuner Multi screen function to display a second, different
channel. Because there are many different models of cable boxes in use today, if you are
having problems operating your 2–Tuner Multi screen function feature with your cable box, we
recommend you contact your local cable company for connection advice.

Aspect
This feature will help you adjust the picture you are watching to give you the best possible
picture quality.
Aspect Ratios
PANORAMA - With this ratio a normal
4:3 aspect picture is stretched to fit the
dimensions of the 16:9 aspect screen.
CINEMA - This ratio “zooms in” on the
center part of a 4:3 aspect picture, blowing
it up to fill the 16:9 screen.
FULL - This is the ratio to use when
watching 16:9 High-Definition broadcasts.
HD PANORAMA - This ratio stretches
the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to
eliminate the black side bars.
REGULAR - The regular ratio is used
when you want to watch a 4:3 broadcast
or recorded program without modifying the
original picture to fit the dimensions of your
16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture will fill the
screen from top to bottom, while black bars
will appear to fill up the remaining space
along the picture’s sides. The 4:3 picture
will be centered within the boundaries of the
16:9 screen.
CINEMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches
the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to
eliminate the black surrounding bars.
