• Handle all glass panels or covers with care.

• Never operate this equipment if it appears damaged or operates abnormally. Turn the power off, disconnect the main power plug and consult your dealer.

• Never remove any affixed panels or covers. Doing so may result in electrical shock.

• Never leave this equipment operating unattended unless otherwise specifically stated that it is designed to do so or in standby mode. Only use the designated power switch to turn off the power and ensure that all potential users are instructed how to do so. Make special arrangements for infirm or handicapped persons.

• Never watch TV while operating a motor vehicle. It is illegal to watch TV while driving.

• Never listen to headphones at high volume. Doing so may damage your hearing.

• Never obstruct the ventilation of this equipment. Doing so may cause overheating and result in a malfunction or damage.

• Never use makeshift stands or attempt to affix legs with wood screws. When using a manufacturer’s approved stand or legs, use only the fixtures provided and follow the installation instructions.

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 cord which is supplied with the TV 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 FOR TABLE TOP STAND:

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.

Supplied hooks

CAUTION:

• Operate only from the power source specified (AC 110 – 240 V, 50 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.

Distance recommendations

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.

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.



Use the PICTURE SHIFT function. To prevent burn-in, the picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down and to the left and right at regular intervals. See page 45 for details.

• Even if the PICTURE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture may shift to the left or right when the channel or input is changed.

 The PICTURE MODE function is initially set to BRIGHT. Unless the TV is being

watched in an extremely bright room, we recommend you change the PICTURE MODE setting to either STANDARD or SOFT. Doing so will reduce the chance of burn-in and extend the life of the PDP. See “PICTURE MODE” on page 29.

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

While an image is displayed With power OFF

19:03

Burn-in example

19:03

• Reduce CONTRAST and BRIGHT on the PICTURE menu (page 29) 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 MULTI-PICTURE function (page 20).

If Burn-in has occurred

If burn-in occurs, try the REFRESH function (page 37). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.

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

Pixel defects

PDPs use collections of fine dots (“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.

Failure to take the following precautions may result in damage to the TV 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.

The surface of the TV screen is easily damaged. Be very careful with it when handling the TV. Should the TV screen become soiled, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never rub it hard. Never use any cleaner or detergent on it.

In the event of a fault, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover.

• the VCR power is turned on

• the VCR is T-V LINK compatible

• the VCR is connected to the EXT-2 terminal

• the SCART cable is fully wired.

 Direct Rec

“What You See Is What You Record” You can easily record to VCR the images

that you are watching on the TV. For details, read the manual for your VCR.

Use your VCR controls. “VCR IS RECORDING” is displayed.

In the following situations, the VCR will stop recording if the TV is turned off, if the TV channel or input is changed, or if the menu is displayed on the TV:

• when recording images from an external device connected to the TV (for example a camcorder)

• when recording a TV channel after it has been unscrambled on a decoder

• when recording a TV channel by using the TV’s output because the VCR’s own tuner cannot properly receive that channel.

When the VCR is not ready (for example when there is no tape inserted), “NO RECORDING” is displayed. You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your TV’s control. Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV channel that it cannot receive properly on its own tuner, even if you can view that TV channel on the TV. However, some VCRs can record a TV channel by using the TV’s output if that channel can be viewed on the TV. For details, see your VCR instruction manual.

 DIGITAL VNR

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the amount of ‘noise’ (‘snow’ or interference) in the original picture. You can choose from the three DIGITAL VNR function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

AUTO(LOW)/AUTO(HIGH):

The TV will automatically adjust the level of the DIGITAL VNR effect to match the amount of noise in the picture, giving you the best possible picture.

• If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too high it can make the picture less sharp. It is recommended you use the AUTO(LOW) setting if you can. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO(LOW) but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO(LOW) to AUTO(HIGH).

MIN:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the minimum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO(LOW) but feel that the sharpness of the original picture has not been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO(LOW) to MIN.

• The MIN setting is not suitable for lowquality pictures which contain a lot of noise.

AUTO(LOW)

MAX:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the maximum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO(HIGH) but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO(HIGH) to MAX.

• The MAX setting is not suitable for highquality pictures which contain very little noise.

 Super DigiPure

The Super DigiPure function uses the latest in digital technology to give you a naturallooking picture. The Super DigiPure function includes the following two functions.

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a naturallooking picture by eliminating unnecessary edges from high-contrast and crisp images. For images with low-contrast, edges are added to produce a sharper, more detailed picture. You can choose from the three DigiPure function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

• If you set the DigiPure effect too high on a low-quality picture that contains a lot of noise, this may actually make the noise worse. We recommend you use the AUTO setting if you can.

Picture motion compensation function:

This function displays fast-moving pictures (for example, the players or ball in a football game) more smoothly and naturally on the screen.

• The effect level of the picture motion compensation function cannot be changed. The effect level is the same no matter which of the AUTO, MIN or MAX settings is used.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of the DigiPure effect to match the amount of noise in the picture, giving the best possible picture.

MIN:

The level of DigiPure effect is set to the minimum. When you set the Super DigiPure function to AUTO and notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO to MIN.

CH/CC numbers

• When two CH/CC numbers correspond to one Channel number, choose either one according to the current COUNTRY setting. When the COUNTRY setting is other than FRANCE, choose a two-digit CH/CC number. When the COUNTRY setting is FRANCE, choose a three-digit CH/ CC number.

• Find the CH/CC number (CC110 to CC161) corresponding to the TV channel (SECAM-L system) from a French cable TV station, based on the broadcast frequency of the TV channel. When you do not know the broadcast frequency, please contact the cable TV station.

• The CH/CC numbers of CH102-CH169 and CC110-CC161 correspond to the TV channels being broadcast by a SECAM-L system. The other CH/CC numbers correspond to the TV channels being broadcast by a method other than a SECAM-L system.

Troubleshooting

If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this troubleshooting guide carefully before you ask to have the TV repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the mains plug is disconnected from the mains outlet, or the TV aerial has problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.

Important:

• This troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose causes are not easy to decide. If you have a question when you are operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully, not this troubleshooting guide.

• If you follow the advice in this troubleshooting guide without any success, unplug the mains plug and ask for your TV to be repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or to remove the rear cover of the TV.

 If you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the mains plug connected to the mains outlet?

• Is the power lamp lit? If not, press the main power button.

• Make sure you set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV on when the VCR/TV/DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.

 If you cannot turn off the TV

• Make sure you set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV off when the VCR/TV/DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.

 No picture or no sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel with very poor reception? If so, the BLUE BACK function will be activated: the entire screen becomes blue, and the sound is muted. If you still want to view the TV channel, follow the description “BLUE BACK” on page 36 to change the BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.

• If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel is incorrect, it may prevent the sound from being issued. Follow the description “EDIT/MANUAL” on page 38 to use the MANUAL function to try to change the SYSTEM setting.

 Poor picture

• If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture, there may be a problem with the aerial or aerial cable. Check the following to try to solve the problem:

–Have the TV and aerial been connected

properly? –Has the aerial cable been damaged? –Is the aerial pointing in the right

direction? –Is the aerial itself faulty?

• If the TV or aerial suffers interference from other equipment, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move any equipment such as an amplifier, personal computer, or a hair drier, that can cause interference away from your TV. Or try moving the TV. If the aerial suffers interference from a radio tower or highvoltage wire, please contact your local dealer.

• If the TV suffers interference from signals reflecting from mountains or buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will occur. Try to change the aerial’s direction or replace it with one with better directionality.

• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings correct? Follow the description “COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 32 to try to solve the trouble.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted properly? Follow the description “BRIGHT” and “COLOUR” on page 29 to try to adjust them properly.

• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may not record correctly.

• When a white and bright still image (such as a white dress) is displayed on the screen, the white part may look as if it is coloured. This is unavoidable due to the nature of the picture tube itself, and not due to a TV failure. When the picture disappears from the screen, the unnatural colours will also disappear.

Troubleshooting

• When viewing images from commercially available video software products, or videos from videotapes which have been recorded improperly, the top of the image may be distorted. This is due to the condition of the video signal. There is nothing wrong with the TV.

• Since this TV is designed to make full use of the resolution of the original video source, the motion may appear unnatural when the video source is input with 625p progressive-scanning component signals. If this occurs, change the output setting of the connected device to 625i interlacescanning component signal output. See the instructions that came with the device for more information.

 Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow the description “BASS” or “TREBLE” on page 33.

• When TV channel reception is poor, it can be hard to hear stereo or bilingual sound. In this case, follow the description “STEREO / I • II” on page 33 to hear the sound more easily by changing it to a mono sound.

 If the TV does not respond to the

remote control

• Have the batteries of the remote control worn out? Follow the description “Putting the batteries into the remote control” on page 8 and replace them with new batteries.

• Have you attempted to use the remote control from the sides or rear of the TV or from more than seven metres away from the TV? Use the remote control in front of your TV or from less than seven metres away.

• When you are viewing a teletext programme, you cannot operate the menus. Press the b button to return to the ordinary TV programme, and then try operating the menus.

• If the TV suddenly stops responding, press the A button on the TV and turn off the TV. Press the A button again to turn on the TV. If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.

 Other issues

• When the SLEEP TIMER function operates, the TV is automatically turned off. If the TV suddenly turns off, try to press the # (standby) button to turn on the TV once again. If the TV goes back to normal, there is no problem.

• When the TV is receiving a wide-screen signal (WSS) or a signal from an external device affecting the screen size, the ZOOM mode automatically changes. When you want to resume the previous ZOOM mode, press the c button again.

• If you bring magnetised equipment such as a speaker near to your TV, the picture may be warped or unnatural colours may appear at the corners of the screen. In this case, keep the equipment away from your TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use magnetically-shielded speakers instead.

• It takes a short period of time from the time an operation such as changing channels is performed until an image is displayed. This is not a fault. This is the time needed for the image to stabilize before it can be displayed.

• The TV may make a crackling sound due to a sudden change in temperature. The picture or sound may be normal. If you hear crackling sounds frequently while you are viewing the TV, there may be other causes. As a precaution, ask your service technician to inspect it.

• Touching the screen may cause you to feel a slight electric shock due to its static electricity. This is unavoidable due to the construction of the picture tube. It is not a problem with the TV. You can rest assured that this static discharge is not harmful.
