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.

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 5° up, 10° down and 20° 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.
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.

Step 2 – The Remote Control
Before you can operate your remote control, you first
need to install the batteries (included).
Lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote
control to open. Insert two batteries (included)
carefully noting the “+” and “–” markings, placing
the “–” end in the unit first. Snap 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 19 - 22.
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 cover on the rear
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 bottom of the
cover against the TV and insert the hooks.
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.
Connections
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.
• To connect a DVD player, see Diagram #3. A DVD player is optional.
