Setting up your TV

• When you install the TV on the wall, only use a JVC wall mounting unit (optional) which is designed for this TV.

• Make sure that the TV is installed on the wall by a skilled installer.

Installation

Cautions for installation

• Install the TV in a corner on a wall or on the floor so as to keep cords out of the way.

• The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient space is available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling. See “Distance recommendations” on page 2.

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.

 Tilt the TV up and 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 and 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 to the left and 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 screen.
