Warnings
Screen 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.
IMAGE SHIFT
The picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down and to the left and right at regular
intervals. In order to prevent burn-in, set this function to FAST or STD. (Refer to page 42.)
Even if the IMAGE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture will shift to the left or right when the
channel or input is changed. This is only when the ASPECT function is in REGULAR mode.
VIDEO STATUS
The VIDEO STATUS function is initially set to DYNAMIC. Unless the TV is being watched in an
extremely bright room, it is recommended to change the VIDEO STATUS setting to standard,
theater or game. Doing so will reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the life of the PDP.
(Refer to page 61).
❑ Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.
TV on
XYZ XYZ
For example...
• Reduce PICTURE and BRIGHT on the PICTURE ADJUST menu (page 50) when viewing.
❑ Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 63).
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 PANORAMA mode to display the picture on the
entire screen.
TV on
For example...
❑ Do not view for long periods of time using the TWIN function (page 57) or INDEX
function (page 57).
TV off
TV off

Warnings
If Burn-in has occurred
If burn-in occurs, try the BURN-IN IMAGE REDUCER function (page 52). 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.
The phenomenon described below is not a malfunction.
If the television is used at a location above an altitude of 2,000 m, a buzzing noise and image
distortion may occur. This phenomenon is peculiar to PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and could
occur with any television using PDP. It is not a malfunction.
Caring for the Cabinet
Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.
If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth,
slightly moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to
help remove spots of oily dirt.
DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.
DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.
DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surface.
DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.
Caring for the Screen
When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.
Do not apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the screen.
These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.

Getting Started
These quick setup pages will provide you, in four easy steps, with the basic information you
need to begin using your new television right away.
If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult
other sections of this manual.
Step 1 – The Remote Control
Before you can operate your remote control, you
first need to install the batteries (included).
Lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote
control to open. Insert two batteries (included)
carefully noting the “+” and “–” markings, placing
the “–” end in the unit first. Snap the cover back
into place.
When you change the batteries, try to
complete the task within three minutes. If you
take longer than three minutes, the remote
control codes for your VCR, DVD, and/or
cable box/satellite receiver may have to be
reset. See pages 26 - 29.
Key Feature Buttons
The four key feature buttons at the center of the remote can be
used for basic operation of the television. The top and bottom
buttons will scan forward and back through the available
channels. To move rapidly through the channels using
JVC’s Hyperscan feature, press and hold CH+ or CH –. The
channels will zip by at a rate of five channels per second. The
right and left buttons will turn the volume up or down. These
buttons are also marked with four arrows and are used with
JVC’s onscreen menu system. To use the onscreen menus,
press the M
ENU button.
