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
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. 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.
5
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 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.
12
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

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.

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.

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
