Warnings

We have an important note for customers who subscribe to basic cable services (do not have a separate cable box) and plan to use their JVC TV remote control to select channels.

Once you run the Auto Tuner Setup (which detects and programs all the channels your TV is receiving through the RF input), every channel number available from your cable company will appear in your television’s Channel Summary and they will all be marked as available for scanning. Even though every channel is detected and appears as available, you will only be able to view those that you specifically subscribe to from your cable company. This will likely mean there are blank channels between those channels you wish to scan or “surf”.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it is important to note that this is not a malfunction of your television. If you want to sequentially scan those channels you subscribe to without blank ones in between, you can contact your cable company for their cable box and remote.

Avoiding Ghost Images

Displaying fixed 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

For example...

 

TV on

TV off

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

Warnings

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.

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.

Tidying the cables

A cable holder which keeps your connection cables tidy is attached to the back of the stand.

Note:

This illustration is for models LT-37X688, LT-42X688, LT-37XM48 and LT-42XM48. The rear panel for models LT-42X788 and LT-47X788 are slightly different in shape.

Warnings

Disconnecting the stand

If you disconnect the stand, attach the bottom cover and the screw (supplied) into the hole.

This illustration is for models LT-37X688, LT-42X688, LT-37XM48 and LT-42XM48. You can disconnect the stand for models LT-42X788 and LT-47X788 using the same method.

1)Place the TV face down on a soft cloth on a table.

2)Remove the four screws from the back of the TV.

3) Pull out the stand from the TV.

4) Cover the hole with a bottom cover and tighten the screw.

Note:

• To re-install the stand, reverse the procedure from 4) to 1).

Quick Setup

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 – The Remote Control

Before you can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).

Raise the latch on the remote's back cover to remove.

Insert two batteries, carefully noting the "+" and "–" markings. Place 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 (ex. VCR, DVD) may have to be reset. See pages 67 - 72.

Basic Operation

POWER

Turn the television on and off by pressing the POWER button at the top right corner of the remote. If this is the first time you are turning on the TV, the interactive plug-in menu appears.

At first, to watch your TV, select the TV mode by pressing the MODE button on the remote control before you turn the TV power on.

See page 58 to 66 for details regarding the remote control buttons.

Using Menu Buttons

To use the menu functions, press the MENU button. Next, select a menu using the four arrow keys. The four arrow keys are used only for menu selections.

When you do the above connection, set "Video-1 Audio" in the External Input menu to "Analog". See "Video-1 Audio", page 45.

The Analog Audio input can only be used with the HDMI INPUT-1.

When setting the “Video-1 Audio - Analog/Digital” menu setting on the TV, please note that this setting only effects the HDMI INPUT-1 jack and that if you use a DVI to HDMI adapter this connection must be made to the HDMI INPUT-1 along with analog audio cables.

Quick Setup

Connecting to an HDMI Compatible Device

By connecting an HDMI compatible device, high definition pictures can be displayed on your

TV in their digital form. Some HDMI devices can include DVD players, D-VHS or any HDMI compatible device.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry supported, uncompressed, all digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, A/V receiver or an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).

1)Connect the HDMI Cable from the DIGITAL OUT on the back of your DTV or HDMI device to the HDMI INPUT-1 on the back of the TV.

Notes:

When you do the above connection, set "Video-1 Audio" in the External Input menu to Digital.

See "Video-1 Audio", page 45.

Some decoders may not respond depending on the equipment that is connected to the HDMI.

If the HDMI output device signal is changed (for example, 480i/60Hz is changed to 480p/60Hz), the screen may turn green and there may be some distortion for a short time until the signal becomes stable.

This TV can accept 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p signals via HDMI.

Quick Setup

Connecting to an AV Receiver using your television's V3 Smart Input

By connecting your AV Receiver to your television's V3 Smart Input, you can watch picture sources from many different devices, without having to change or use the other input connections on your TV. This allows you to free up the other input connections so you can connect more devices to your television.

5)Connect a Red Component Cable from the AV Receiver's PR MONITOR OUT, into the PR VIDEO INPUT-3 on the back of the TV.

Notes:

Please refer to your AV Receiver instruction manual for more information on connecting your 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 V3 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 V3 Input as the V3 Smart Input. In this case we recommend using the S-Video connection.
