INSTRUCTIONS

LCT1373-001A

Thank you for buying this JVC colour television. To make sure you understand how to use your new TV, please read this manual thoroughly before you begin.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE.

WARNING

Always use the power cords which are supplied with the TV and receiver. Some power cords are supplied with this TV. Use the power cord which best suits the area in which you live, and insert it into a correctly earthed outlet. Failure to use the supplied power cord or to insert it into a correctly earthed outlet may result in electric shocks.

WARNING

To ensure safety in an emergency such as an earthquake, and to prevent accidents, ensure that measures are taken to prevent the TV dropping or falling over.

• Use the supplied screws to firmly attach the supplied hooks to the back of the TV, and use commercially available cord to fix the TV to rigid components such as walls and columns.

CAUTION:

• Operate only from the power source specified (AC 110– 240 V, 50/60 Hz) on the unit.

• Avoid damaging the AC plug and power cord.

• When you are not using this unit for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from the main outlet.

• The ambient temperature for using this unit is 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F). Using the unit outside of this range may lead to it not working correctly or being broken.

ENGLISH

Burn-in

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) is that displaying the same image for a long time causes a part of the image to stay on the screen (this is called phosphor burn-in).

Avoid burn-in as follows.

Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.



While an image is displayed With power OFF

ENGLISH

Burn-in example

19:03

• Reduce CONTRAST and BRIGHT on the PICTURE SETTING menu (page 25) when viewing.

Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 18).



Screen size is normally chosen to ensure that the picture is displayed on the entire screen. After viewing in the REGULAR mode in which black bands may occur at the left and right of the screen, it is recommended to change to the PANORAMIC mode to display the picture on the entire screen.

While an image is displayed With power OFF

Burn-in example

Do not view for long periods of time using the PIP function (page 20) or MULTI-PICTURE function (page 21).



If Burn-in has occurred

If burn-in occurs, try the SNOW NOISE function (page 33). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.

Note: Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Point defects

PDPs use collections of fine pixels to display images. While there is no problem with more than 99.99% of these pixels, please understand that a very small number of pixels may not light or may light all the time.

Do not install the TV near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves

It may cause interference in images, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.

Effect on infrared devices

There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.

Avoid improper installation and never position the unit where good ventilation is impossible. When installing this TV, distance recommendations must be maintained between the set and the wall, as well as inside a tightly enclosed area or piece of furniture. Keep to the minimum distance guidelines shown for safe operation.

Failure to take the following precautions may cause damage to the television or remote control.

DO NOT block the TV’s ventilation openings or holes.

(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

DO NOT place anything on top of the TV.

(such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.)

DO NOT allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings.

(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the TV.

Setting up your TV

 Preparing the subwoofer

Either stand the subwoofer vertically or lay it down on its side, peel the paper from the supplied rubber feet, and stick the feet in the four corners on the surface to be used as the base. The rubber feet prevent slipping and resonance, and also protect the speaker cord.

Rubber feet

• The subwoofer is not designed to withstand electromagnetic fields. Furthermore, it vibrates in operation and should therefore not be installed near equipment such as VCR, or equipment where it will be subject to vibration or electromagnetic fields.

Subwoofer

Mounting example: Subwoofer to be used lying down

Installation

Cautions for installation

• Do not tilt the TV towards the left or right, or towards the back.

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

• Grip the TV (not the front speakers) when moving or installing it after mounting the front speakers to the TV.

• The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient space is available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling.
