17) Cautions for installation

— Do not tilt the TV towards the left or right, or towards the back.

— Install the TV in a corner 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.

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.

• i.LINK MENU, TIMER, SUB CHANNEL, FAVORITE 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 5° up, 10° down and 20° to the left or right.

These illustrations are for LT-26X776 and LT-32X776. The stands for the LT-37X776 and LT-40X776 are different. You can only adjust the direction of the TV screen 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.

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.

Quick Setup Getting Started

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.

Cable Holder

Illustration of LT-37X776 and LT-40X776

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 hooks. When replacing the covers, place the side of the covers 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.

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 28 - 31.

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.

speakers and other devices like a DVD player.

• Use your AV Receiver's remote to switch to the different devices you have connected.

• Some AV Receivers may not respond when the V1 Smart Input function is turned on.

• If you have video connections for each input device connected to your AV Receiver, you

should not connect them using both S-Video and Composite connection at the same time when you are using V1 Input as the V1 Smart Input. In this case we recommend using the S-Video connection.

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.

• 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 45, 57, 35.

• 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).
