Warnings
FCC Notice:
Caution: Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
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, or manually deselect them using the edit / skip feature on page 30.
Precautions
Avoiding Temporary Burn-in
Displaying fi xed images for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but temporary burn-in
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

Precautions
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.

Precautions
Disconnecting the stand
