Warning

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adaptor or consult your dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

If a new mains plug has to be fitted, then follow the instruction given below:

Important

Do not make any connection to the larger terminal which is

marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

The wires in the mains lead on this product are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

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.

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 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, 50/60 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.

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 30 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, it is recommended to change the PICTURE MODE setting to either STANDARD or SOFT. Doing so will reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the life of the PDP. See “PICTURE MODE” on page 21

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

While an image is displayed

With power OFF

19:03	19:03
Burn-in example

• Reduce CONTRAST and BRIGHT on the PICTURE SETTING menu (page 21) when viewing.

Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 15).

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 16) or MULTI-PICTURE function (page 17).

If Burn-in has occurred

If burn-in occurs, try the REFRESH function (page 30). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.

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

2

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 heed 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.

When you have a T-V LINK compatible VCR connected to the EXT-2 Terminal on the TV, it is easier to set up the VCR and to view videos. T-V LINK uses the following features:

To use T-V LINK functions:

A “T-V LINK compatible VCR” means a JVC video cassette recorder with the T-V LINK logo, or with one of the following logos. However, these VCRs may support some or all of the features described earlier. For details, see your VCR instruction manual.

“Q-LINK” (a trademark of Panasonic Corporation) “Data Logic” (a trademark of Metz Corporation) “Easy Link” (a trademark of Phillips Corporation) “Megalogic” (a trademark of Grundig Corporation) “SMARTLINK” (a trademark of Sony Corporation).

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.

TV auto power on/VCR image view

When the VCR starts playing, the TV automatically turns on and the images from the EXT-2 terminal appear on the screen.

When the VCR menu is operated, the TV automatically turns on and the images from the EXT-2 terminal appear on the screen.

•Check that the AC plugs on the power cords from the TV and receiver are connected to AC outlets.

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:

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 to use the AUTO setting if you can.

•AUTO cannot be chosen when you are watching the EXT-4 picture.

MIN:

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

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

MAX:

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

•The MAX setting is not suitable for high-quality pictures which contain very little noise.

•When a progressive-scanning picture is being displayed, “DIGITAL VNR” cannot be selected.

•The DIGITAL VNR function does not work for progressive-scanning pictures.

Super DigiPure

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

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a natural-looking 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.

The level of DigiPure effect is set to the maximum. If you set the Super DigiPure function to AUTO but feel that the original picture quality has not been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO to MAX.

S-IN (S-VIDEO input)

You can connect a device (such as an S-VHS VCR) to enjoy the high-quality picture of the S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal).

Preparation:

•First read the device’s instruction manual and “Additional preparation” on page 37 to connect the device to the TV properly. Second, follow the device’s instruction manual to set the device so that it sends an S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) to the TV.

•Do not set S-IN (S-VIDEO input) to the EXT terminal connected to a device which cannot output an S-VIDEO (Y/C signal). If it is set wrongly, a picture cannot appear.
