Thank you for purchasing this JVC color video monitor. Before using it, read and follow all
instructions carefully to take full advantage of the monitor's capabilities.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING :
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS MONITOR TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION :
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
This monitor is equipped with a 3-blade grounding-type
plug to satisfy FCC rule. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your electrician.
FCC INFORMATION (U.S.A. only)
CAUTION: Changes or modification not approved by
JVC could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
■PRECAUTIONS
● Use only the power source specified on the unit.
(120 V AC, 50/60 Hz)
● Keep flammable material, water, and metal objects away
from the unit – especially the interior of the unit.
● This unit incorporates high voltage circuitry.
For your own safety and that of your equipment, do not
attempt to modify or disassemble this monitor.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
● Unplug the monitor when you’re not going to be using it for a
long period.
SCREEN BURN
● It is not recommended to keep a certain still image displayed
on screen for a long time as well as displaying extremely
bright images on screen. This may cause a burning
(sticking) phenomenon on the screen of cathode-ray tube.
This problem does not occur as far as displaying normal
video playback motion images.
■ HANDLING
● Avoid shocks or vibrations. These may damage the unit
and cause it to malfunction.
● Do not block the ventilation slots.
● Do not expose this unit to high temperatures.
Extended exposure to direct sunlight or a heater could
deform the cabinet or cause the performance of internal
components to deteriorate.
● Do not place the unit near appliances generating strong
electric or magnetic fields. There can generate picture
noise and instability.
● Keep the monitor clean by wiping the cabinet and CRT
screen with a piece of soft cloth. Do not apply thinner or
benzine. These chemicals can damage the finish and
erase printed letters. When the unit is excessively dirty, use
a diluted neutral cleanser, then wipe away the cleanser
with a dry cloth.

Notes:
● BRIGHTNESS P.S. (or B.P.S.) stands for
Brightness Peak Suppressor. This function

portion of the picture, so as to reduce the
picture's burning on the screen (cathode
ray tube).
● When the BRIGHTNESS P.S. (or B.P.S.)
function is ON, the suppressed white peak
portion (for example, the lit part of a
fluorescent lamp) seems to be blurred.
If required, lower the setting for the B.P.S.

BASIC CONNECTION EXAMPLE
Notes:
● Before connecting your system, make sure that all units are turned off.
● The illustration below shows some examples of different connections. Terminal connections may differ depending on the
component connected. Be sure to refer to the instructions provided with the unit(s) you are connecting.
● Each pair of input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals are bridge-connected.
● If you’re not connecting any equipment to a bridged output (OUT) terminal, be sure not to connect any other cables to the
bridged output (OUT) terminal as this will cause the terminating resistance switch to open (auto terminate function).
● When making a bridge connection, connect the input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals on the monitor to separate video
components.
(For example, if both terminals are connected to the same VCR, resonance may occur except during playback. This is caused
by the same video signal “looping” between the VCRs, and is not a malfunction.)
● Select the video input (Input A (VIDEO), Input B (Y/C) or Input B (VIDEO)) with the input select button on the front panel.
● The ASPECT RATIO or BRIGHTNESS P.S. function can be controlled via the REMOTE terminal. To do this, set REMOTE
SELECT in the <SET-UP MENU> mode. (Refer to page 8 and 9.)

The following are not malfunctions:
● When a bright still image (such as a white cloth) is displayed for a long period, it may appear to be colored. This is due to the
structure of the cathode ray tube and will be deleted when another image is displayed.
● You experience a mild electric shock when you touch the picture tube. This phenomenon is due to a normal buildup of static
electricity on the CRT and is not harmful.
● The monitor emits a strange sound when the room temperature changes suddenly. This is only a problem if an abnormality
appears on the screen as well.
● If two or more monitors are operated next to each other, their images may shake or be distorted. This phenomenon is due to
mutual interference; it is not a malfunction.
Move the monitors away from each other until the interference disappears or turn the power off on any monitor that is not being
used.
