PDP COLOUR TELEVISION

INSTRUCTIONS

LCT1665-001B

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, 50/60 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 apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

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 40 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.

ENGLISH

 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 26.

 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 26) 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 MULTI-PICTURE function (page 17).

If Burn-in has occurred

If burn-in occurs, try the REFRESH function (page 34). 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.

PICTURE MANAGEMENT demonstration
