• 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 cords which are supplied with the TV. 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 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.

ENGLISH

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.

ENGLISH

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.

 Pre-set download

The VCR will automatically download the registered data on the TV channels from the TV. This means you do not need to set up the program channels on your VCR manually. The preset download function automatically begins when the initial setting is complete or whenever you carry out the AUTO PROGRAM or EDIT/MANUAL functions.

You can also carry out this function using your VCR controls.

When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed:

If “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed, the download was not performed correctly. Before trying to download again, check that:

• 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.
