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 specifi cally 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 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

For example...

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.

6

Warnings

Disconnecting the stand

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

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 69 - 74.

Basic Operation

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 68 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.

Quick Setup

Step 3 – 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 34, 56, 37.

• 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, FRANÇAIS (French) or ESPAÑOL (Spanish).

Movies Ratings

❒ NR – Not Rated

This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries

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.

❒ 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.

❒ 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.

❒ 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.

These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for
unsupervised children under the age of 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.

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.

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.

FULL - This is the ratio to use when
watching 16:9 High-Definition broadcasts.

PANORAMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches
the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to
eliminate the black side bars.

CINEMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches
the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to
eliminate the black surrounding bars.

FULL NATIVE - This ratio displays 100% of
the ratio. Normally, all aspects except for
Full Native display about 95%.

SLIM - This aspect mode shrinks the
screen of 16:9 to 4:3. There are some
programming that is already stretched by
mistake at broadcasting companies, so
this mode corrects it. Black side bars will
appear.

OSD Information

Weak Signal

This OSD appears when the digital channel that you have selected is too weak to receive or no
signal is being detected for that channel.

Weak Signal

0

No Program

It appears when that channel is not receiving a signal and you have the Noise Muting function
OFF and you have a single screen. It moves automatically every two seconds to prevent the
screen from burn-in.

Notes:

• Even if "NO PROGRAM" appears on the screen, your timer functions and auto shut off
functions that you set, are still active.

• If you are watching an analog channel, NO PROGRAM does not appear.

Invalid Signal

If you are inputting a PC signal that is invalid, "Invalid Signal" will appear on the TV screen. It
appears when the input is PC and it is a single screen.

75

• See if the power cord became unplugged.

• Check for a blown fuse or circuit breaker or a power outage.

• The antenna could be disconnected.

• The input mode could be set improperly. See page 59.

• The tuner (Auto Tuner Setup) could be set improperly. See page 37.

• The TV station may be having difficulties. Check to see if other stations are working.

• Use the HDMI cable with HDMI logo . See page 19.

• If you have a device connected to INPUT-1, INPUT-2 or INPUT-5 (set "V5 INPUT" in the
INITIAL SETUP menu to "HDMI"). You will not be able to hear any audio from the
AUDIO OUT on the back of the TV.

• You cannot output audio using the OPTICAL OUTPUT when you have digital sound from
an HDMI device connected to the INPUT-1, INPUT-2 or INPUT-5 (set "V5 INPUT" in the
INITIAL SETUP menu to "HDMI") connection on the back of the TV.
(See page 18).

• This TV can accept 480i (Composite / S / HDMI / Component), 480p, 720p and 1080i
signals. Please check your settings.

• Check to see that the batteries are still working and properly installed.

• Make sure the remote has a clear sight path to the TV.

• You may be too far from the TV. You must be within 23 feet (7 meters).

• Make sure the channels have been programmed. See "Channel Summary", page 38.

• Check to see if the channel is locked. See "Channel Summary - Lock" page 39.

• Make sure the set did not become unplugged.

• Perhaps the On/Off Timer is set. See page 57.

• Check to see if the Sleep Timer was set. See page 66.

• This television is operated by a microprocessor. It is possible that external noise or
interference is causing the problem. If the television does not function correctly, remove the
electrical plug from the wall outlet and wait a while before inserting it into the wall outlet
again and operating the television.

• The power was interrupted and the clock was not reset. See page 56.

• Tint and Color may be improperly adjusted. See page 50.

• There could be interference from a high-wattage appliance, like a hairdryer or vacuum,
operating nearby. Move the antenna away from the appliance or change to a coaxial
cable connection which is less prone to interference.

• A building or passing airplane can reflect the original signal and produce a second,
slightly delayed one. Adjust your antenna position.

• Your antenna may be damaged, disconnected or turned. Check the antenna
connection. If the antenna is damaged, replace it.

• It is normal for the TV to make crackling sounds when first turned on or off. Unless
the sound or picture become abnormal, this is fine.

• Press the CHANNEL- and VOLUME- buttons on the side panel of the TV simultaneously
for a few seconds. The Digital Tuner will be reset. If this does not reset it correctly, unplug
the power cord and plug it back in.

• Change the picture format setting on your external device to 1080i or other resolution.

• This occurs when you select a digital menu when your input source is from the HDMI
connection. Press the menu button.

• This JVC television can accept a variety of HD signals, including 720/60p, 1080/60i and
1080/60p. It does not accept a 1080/24p signal. Please note that in some cases, a Blu-ray
or HD-DVD may only offer the choice of 1080/60i or 1080/24p. In this case, it is necessary
to choose the 1080/60i output. Please refer to your Blu-ray/HD-DVD manual for complete
details on choosing the correct output.

The following are not malfunctions.

• The television may make a creaking sound if the temperature of the room or the
temperature of the inside of the television changes. If there is no problem with the screen or
sound, then there is no need to worry.

• Although the picture may be temporarily disturbed and noise may be seen on the screen if

the power is turned on immediately after it has been turned off, this is not a malfunction.
