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.
■ 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.
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.

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. However, the Y/C input terminal (Y/C IN) has no output
terminal (OUT) corresponding to it.
● 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 or Input B) with the input select button on the front panel.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Solutions to common problems related to your monitor are described here. If none of the solutions presented here
solves the problem, unplug the monitor and consult a JVC-authorized dealer or service center for assistance.
Problems
No power supply.
No picture with the
power on.
No sound.
Shaking picture.
No colors, wrong
color, or dark picture.
Unnatural, irregularly
colored, or distorted
picture.
Front panel button
does not function.
Points to be checked
Is the power plug loosened or disconnected?
Is the video signal output from the connected
component?
Is the input signal selected properly?
Is the video cable disconnected?
Is the audio signal output from the connected
component?
Is the volume output set to minimum?
Is the audio cable disconnected?
Is the monitor close to a device generating a
strong magnetic field?
Is the color system selected properly?
Has the picture control setting (CONTRAST,
BRIGHT, CHROMA or PHASE) been changed?
Is the monitor close to a speaker, magnet or any
other device generating a strong magnetic field?
Are the operation buttons on the front panel
locked? ( Has CONTROL LOCK function set to
ON?)
Measures (Remedy)
Firmly insert the power plug.
Set the connected component correctly.
Select the required video signal input with the
Input select button. (See page 6.)
Connect the video signal cable firmly.
(See page 11.)
Set the connected component correctly.
Adjust the speaker volume with the VOLUME/
SELECT buttons. (See page 6.)
Connect the audio signal cable firmly.
(See page 11.)
Move the device away from the monitor until the
picture stabilizes.
Set the COLOR SYSTEM in the <MENU> screen
mode to [AUTO] mode. (See page 7.)
Set each picture control to the standard setting.
(See page 6.)
Move the device away from the monitor and turn
the monitor’s power off. Wait at least 30 minutes,
then turn the power on again.
Set the CONTROL LOCK to OFF in the <SETUP MENU> screen mode. (See pages 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.
