PDP COLOUR TELEVISION

INSTRUCTIONS

LCT1665-001A

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.

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 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.

 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(LOW)/AUTO(HIGH):

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 you use the AUTO(LOW)
setting if you can. If you set the DIGITAL
VNR function to AUTO(LOW) but still
notice some noise, change the setting from
AUTO(LOW) to AUTO(HIGH).

MIN:

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

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

noise.

 Super DigiPure

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

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a natural­looking 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.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of
the DigiPure effect to match the amount of
noise in the picture, giving the best possible
picture.

Troubleshooting

If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this troubleshooting guide carefully
before you ask to have the TV repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example,
if the mains plug is disconnected from the mains outlet, or the TV aerial has problems, you may
think there is a problem with the TV itself.

Important:

• This troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose causes are not easy to decide. If you
have a question when you are operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully,
not this troubleshooting guide.

• If you follow the advice in this troubleshooting guide without any success, unplug the mains
plug and ask for your TV to be repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or to
remove the rear cover of the TV.

 If you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the mains plug connected to the mains
outlet?

• Is the power lamp lit? If not, press the
main power button.

• Make sure you set the PIP/TV/DVD
switch to the TV position. You cannot
turn the TV on when the PIP/TV/DVD
switch is set to the DVD position.

 If you cannot turn off the TV

• Make sure you set the PIP/TV/DVD
switch to the TV position. You cannot
turn the TV off when the PIP/TV/DVD
switch is set to the DVD position.

 No picture or no sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel with very
poor reception? If so, the BLUE BACK
function will be activated: the entire
screen becomes blue, and the sound is
muted. If you still want to view the TV
channel, follow the description “BLUE
BACK” on page 34 to change the BLUE
BACK function setting to OFF.

• If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel
is incorrect, it may prevent the sound
from being issued. Follow the description
“EDIT/MANUAL” on page 35 to use the
MANUAL function to try to change the
SYSTEM setting.

 Poor picture

• If noise (snow) totally blocks out the
picture, there may be a problem with the
aerial or aerial cable. Check the following
to try to solve the problem:

– Have the TV and aerial been connected

properly?
– Has the aerial cable been damaged?
– Is the aerial pointing in the right

direction?
– Is the aerial itself faulty?

• If the TV or aerial suffers interference
from other equipment, stripes or noise
may appear in the picture. Move any
equipment such as an amplifier, personal
computer, or a hair drier, that can cause
interference away from your TV. Or try
moving the TV. If the aerial suffers
interference from a radio tower or high­voltage wire, please contact your local
dealer.

• If the TV suffers interference from signals
reflecting from mountains or buildings,
double-pictures (ghosting) will occur. Try
to change the aerial’s direction or replace
it with one with better directionality.

• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings
correct? Follow the description
“COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 28 to try
to solve the trouble.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings
been adjusted properly? Follow the
description “BRIGHT” and “COLOUR”
on page 26 to try to adjust them properly.

• Videotaping teletext is not recommended
because it may not record correctly.

• When a white and bright still image (such
as a white dress) is displayed on the
screen, the white part may look as if it is
coloured. This is unavoidable due to the
nature of the picture tube itself, and not
due to a TV failure. When the picture
disappears from the screen, the unnatural
colours will also disappear.

ENGLISH

47

Troubleshooting

• When viewing images from commercially
available video software products, or
videos from videotapes which have been
recorded improperly, the top of the image
may be distorted. This is due to the
condition of the video signal. There is
nothing wrong with the TV.

ENGLISH

• Since this TV is designed to make full use
of the resolution of the original video
source, the motion may appear unnatural
when the video source is input with 625p
progressive-scanning component signals.
If this occurs, change the output setting of
the connected device to 625i interlace­scanning component signal output. See
the instructions that came with the device
for more information.

 Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE
properly? If not, follow the description
“BASS” or “TREBLE” on page 30.

• When TV channel reception is poor, it can
be hard to hear stereo or bilingual sound.
In this case, follow the description
“STEREO / I • II” on page 30 to hear the
sound more easily by changing it to a
mono sound.

• If you cannot hear the normal sound even
if the picture of the TV channel appears
normally. Follow the description “EDIT/
MANUAL” on page 35 to use the
MANUAL function to change the
SYSTEM setting.

 If the TV does not respond to the

remote control

• Have the batteries of the remote control
worn out? Follow the description “Putting
the batteries into the remote control” on
page 9 and replace them with new batteries.

• Have you attempted to use the remote
control from the sides or rear of the TV or
from more than seven metres away from the
TV? Use the remote control in front of your
TV or from less than seven metres away.

• When you are viewing a teletext
programme, you cannot operate the
menus. Press the 4 button to
return to the ordinary TV programme, and
then try operating the menus.

48

• If the TV suddenly stops responding,

press the A button on the TV and turn off
the TV. Press the A button again to turn
on the TV. If the TV returns to a normal
state, it is not a failure.

 Other issues

• If the CHILD LOCK function set to ON,
you cannot operate the TV with the front
control buttons of the TV. Set the CHILD
LOCK function to OFF.

• When the SLEEP TIMER function or
AUTO SHUTOFF function operates, the
TV is automatically turned off. If the TV
suddenly turns off, try to press the #
(standby) button to turn on the TV once
again. If the TV goes back to normal,
there is no problem.

• When the TV is receiving a wide-screen
signal (WSS) or a signal from an external
device affecting the screen size, the
ZOOM mode automatically changes.
When you want to resume the previous
ZOOM mode, press the c button
again.

• If you bring magnetised equipment such
as a speaker near to your TV, the picture
may be warped or unnatural colours may
appear at the corners of the screen. In this
case, keep the equipment away from your
TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use
magnetically-shielded speakers instead.

• It takes a short period of time from the
time an operation such as changing
channels is performed until an image is
displayed. This is not a fault. This is the
time needed for the image to stabilize
before it can be displayed.

• The TV may make a crackling sound due
to a sudden change in temperature. The
picture or sound may be normal. If you
hear crackling sounds frequently while
you are viewing the TV, there may be
other causes. As a precaution, ask your
service technician to inspect it.

• Touching the screen may cause you to
feel a slight electric shock due to its static
electricity. This is unavoidable due to the
construction of the picture tube. It is not a
problem with the TV. You can rest
assured that this static discharge is not
harmful.
