available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling.

Warnings

Avoiding Ghost Images

Displaying ﬁ xed images for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but temporary ghost image on your screen. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern.

Examples include, but are not limited to the following:

• Stock-market report bars

• Shopping channel logos and pricing

displays

• Video game patterns or scoreboards

• Bright station logos

• Internet web sites or other computer-style

images.

• DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs

• Broadcast, cable, satellite channels or

digital television tuners/converters.

TV on

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.

For example...

TV off

XYZ XYZ

Caring for the Screen

The screen is treated with an electrostatic-proof coating. When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. If the screen is very dirty, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in a diluted kitchen cleaner and thoroughly wrung-out. Then wipe immediately after with a clean, dry 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.

Do not push or hit the screen. This could cause scratches on the screen surface and image distortions.

Warnings (Continued...)

How to move the cabinet

Your fingers may become trapped under the TV, causing injuries. Hold the TV at the bottom in the middle, and do not allow the TV to tilt up or down.

The TV may fall causing injuries. Hold the bottom of the stand with your hand and tilt the TV up or down.

Quick Setup Getting Started

Getting Started

These quick setup pages will provide you, in three 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 - Using the stand

This TV comes with a Table Top Stand already attached.

This stand can be used to adjust the direction of the TV screen 5° up, 10° down and 20° to the left or right.

Tilt the TV up or down

While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand, use your other hand to hold the middle of the top of the TV, and slowly tilt the TV up or down.

• As a safety measure, the stand is constructed so that it requires a certain amount of force to tilt the TV.

Rotate the TV left or right

While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand, use your other hand to hold the edge of the panel and slowly adjust the direction of the TV stand.

Cable Holder

A cable holder which keeps your connection cables tidy is attached on the back of the stand. Gently squeeze the left and right of the cable holder, and pull it to remove it from the stand. After putting the cables in the cable holder, attach it to the back of the stand again.

Cable Holder

Quick Setup Getting Started

Step 2 – 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 24 - 27.

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.

Step 3 - Connecting your devices

Remove the terminal cover

There are connection terminals behind the covers on the left and right in the back of the TV. Remove these two covers before connecting an antenna or other devices. The covers can be removed by removing the hooks. When replacing the covers, place the side of the covers against the TV and insert the hooks.

Note:

• Leave the terminal covers off if they do not fit properly. Do not force to replace the covers. Doing so may damage the connection cables and covers.

Connections

Please follow the flow chart below to determine which connection setup is right for you. Then, refer to the appropriate diagrams to connect your television to other devices that you may have. After you are finished connecting your devices, plug the power cord into the nearest power outlet and turn on the TV.

A VCR is not necessary for operation of the television. If you follow these diagrams and the television does not work properly, contact your local cable operator.

• To connect a DVD player, see Diagram #3. A DVD player is optional.

• If you have a satellite television system, please refer to the satellite TV manual.

Notes:

• D.S.T. can be used only for US and Canada when it is set to ON in the SET CLOCK menu.

• Only when the MODE set to AUTO, the Daylight Savings Time feature automatically adjusts your TV’s clock for Daylight Savings. The clock will move forward one hour at 2:00 am on the first Sunday in April. The clock will move back one hour at 2:00 am on the last Sunday in October.

• You will have to reset the clock after a power interruption. You must set the clock before operating any timer functions.
