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.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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 32.

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

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.

8

Precautions

Attach the stand to the TV

To prevent scratches on the panel, lay a piece of soft cloth on an even platform and place the TV
onto it.

1) 2)

Notes:

• To reinstall the stand, reverse the procedure from 2) to 1).

• If you fi nd it diffi cult to remove the screws from inset screw wells, use a magnetized

screwdriver.

Install your TV

To prevent the TV from falling, thread the belt
through the hole on the back of the standand
secure it to the TV rack.

Tidying the cables

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

When attaching the TV to the wall

Seal up the two holes at the bottom of the
TV using the plates provided. Peel off the
protection fi lm on the plates. Then, peel the
plates from the paper and stick them on the
holes.

How to clean the frame and stand

Your TV has a glossy frame and stand which
have protection sheets attached to them. Peel
them off before use, but only after the TV has
been properly placed. Take care with handling
the glossy frame and stand because these
surfaces are delicate. If the glossy frame or
stand becomes dirty, first dust it off, then wipe it
softly with a cleaning cloth. If you wipe without
dusting off, you may damage it.

Aspect

Allows you to adjust the way the image appears on your TV based on the format that is being
received.

Panorama - When watching a 4:3 aspect picture it 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
proportionally to fill the 16:9 screen.

Full - When watching a 4:3 aspect picture, it is stretched to fit the dimensions of the TV. When
watching a 16:9 aspect picture, it displays 95% of the ratio.

Panorama Zoom - When watching a High-Definition 16:9 aspect picture it is stretched to
eliminate the black side bars.

Cinema Zoom - This ratio “zooms in” on the center part of a 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%.

Regular - When watching a 4:3 aspect picture without modifying the original picture to fit the
dimensions of your 16:9 screen. Black bars will appear along the picture’s sides. The picture
will be centered within the boundaries of the 16:9 screen.

Slim - This aspect mode shrinks the screen of a 16:9 broadcast 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.

Notes:

• Depending on the signal format, some aspect modes are unavailable.

• Slim can only be displayed when the signal is ATSC (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i) or HD (720p,
1080i).

• If the television receives a 16:9 signal from your HDMI device, the aspect mode will turn to
Full automatically. If the television receives a 4:3 signal from your HDMI device when you are
in Full aspect mode, it will return to Regular aspect mode. If you change the aspect mode
after the television changed it to Full automatically, the television will change to the aspect
mode you choose. It also turns to Full automatically when the TV receives an HD (1080i or
720p) signal.

• You can access the aspect modes using the buttons on the side of the TV, by using the

MENU button, then – CH + button.

Troubleshooting

Refer to the table below to check the condition. If you think that there is a problem, contact the
JVC Service Center where you purchased the television.

PROBLEMS CHECK

There is no power

There is no picture
or sound

• 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 tuner could be set improperly. See page 31.

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

• Use the HDMI cable with HDMI logo . See page 47.

• If you have a device connected to INPUT-1, INPUT-2 or INPUT-3, 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 DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL OUTPUT when you have
digital sound from an HDMI device connected to the INPUT-1, INPUT-2 or INPUT-3
connection on the back of the TV.

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

Remote control is not
operating properly or
at all

The power turns off
by itself

It does not operate
correctly

The color quality
is poor

There are lines
across the picture

The picture is spotted

There are double
pictures (ghosts)

Picture is snowy
(image noise)

• 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 set did not become unplugged.

• Perhaps the Auto Shut Off is set. See page 42.

• Check to see if the Sleep Timer was set. See page 40.

• 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.

• Tint and Color may be improperly adjusted. See page 25.

• The Video Status mode may be turned to the wrong setting. See page 24.

• There could be interference from another electrical appliance, such as a computer,
another TV or VCR. Move any such appliances further away from the TV.

• 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.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEMS CHECK

Screen is 80% black

Stereo or bilingual
programs can't be
heard

Static electricity

You hear occasional
crackling sounds

The picture is slightly
cut off when you use
1080p format only

The screen
disappears except for
the menu screen

My HDMI device
doesn’t work or
doesn’t work properly

No signal or
signal can not be
displayed

• The Closed Caption Text mode is on. Turn it off in the Closed Caption Menu, page 30.

• Make sure the MTS settings are correct. See page 39.

• It is normal to feel static electricity if you brush or touch the screen.

• 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.

• 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
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 manual for complete
details on choosing the correct output.

• 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.

• 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.

• Even if "No signal or signal can not be displayed" 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.

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.

• 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.

Digital Television Transition Notice:

This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV
programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the
United States on February 17, 2009.

Some older television receivers, if they rely on a TV antenna, will need a TV Converter to receive
over the air digital programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g.,
for watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies,
or playing video games).

For more information, see http://www.DTV.gov or call 1-888-CALL-FCC. For converter box
information, see http://www.dtv2009.gov or call the NTIA at 1–888–DTV–2009.
