Guidelines for safe operation
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to comply with international safety
standards. However, as with any electrical appliance, care must be taken to ensure optimal results
and operational safety.
• Before attempting to use this equipment, read the operating instructions thoroughly.
• Ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads, etc.) have
been made in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• If ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of this equipment, consult your dealer.
• 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.
• Never allow this equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
• Never allow anyone, especially children, to insert anything into an opening in the case. Doing
so may result in a fatal electrical shock.
• Never guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind. It is better to be safe than sorry.
If the plug fitted is not suitable
As these colours may not correspond with the
coloured marking identifying the terminals in
your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
When replacing the fuse, use only a correctly
rated approved type and always re-fit the fuse
cover.
If in doubt — consult a competent
electrician.
How to replace the fuse

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 displayedWith 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 displayedWith 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.

You can also carry out this function using
your VCR controls.
When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is

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.
