POWER CONNECTION
The power supply voltage rating of this product is 120 V AC (For U.S.A. and Canada only) and 220 – 240 V AC (For European countries or United Kingdom), the power cord attached conforms to the following power supply voltage and countries. Use only the power cord designated to ensure Safety and EMC regulations of each countries.
Power cord
Power supply voltage : 120 V AC 220 – 240 V AC 220 – 240 V AC Countries : U.S.A. and Canada European countries United Kingdom
Warning:
÷
Do not use the same Power Cord for 120 V AC as for 220 – 240 V AC. Doing so may cause malfunction, electric shock or fire.
Note for the United Kingdom power cord only
The plug on the United Kingdom power cord has a built-in fuse. When replacing the fuse, be sure to use only a correctly rated approved type, re-fit the fuse cover. (Consult your dealer or qualified service personnel.)
How to replace the fuse
Open the fuse compartment with the blade screw driver, and replace the fuse. (* An example is shown in the illustration.)

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.
If youre 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) or INPUT B (VIDEO)) with the INPUT SELECT buttons on the front panel.
The ASPECT RATIO or INPUT A/B settings can be controlled via the REMOTE terminal by setting ASPECT REMOTE or INPUT REMOTE in the
<SET-UP MENU> screen to valid. (Refer to pages 9 and 10.)

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.
Dark stripes appear at the top and bottom of the screen, picture vertically squeezed.
Function buttons on the front panel do not function.
The INPUT SELECT buttons do 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?
Is the aspect ratio set to 16:9?
Has control of the buttons been locked? (Has the CONTROL LOCK function been set to ON?)
Is input selection under external control? (Has the INPUT REMOTE function been set to valid (A/B)?)
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 7.)
Connect the video signal cable firmly. (See page 12 and 13.)
Set the connected component correctly.
Adjust the speaker volume with the VOLUME/ SELECT button. (See page 7.)
Connect the audio signal cable firmly. (See page 12 and 13.)
Move the device away from the monitor until the picture stabilizes.
Set COLOR SYSTEM in the <MENU> screen to AUTO. (See page 8.)
Set each picture control to the standard setting. (See page 7.)
Move the device away from the monitor and turn the monitors power off. Wait at least 30 minutes, then turn the power on again.
Set ASPECT RATIO in the <MENU> screen to [4 – 3 (4 : 3)]. (See page 8.) When controlling externally, ASPECT RATIO should be set to [4 – 3 (4 : 3)]. (See page 12.)
Set CONTROL LOCK in the <SET-UP MENU> screen to OFF. (See pages 9 and 10.)
Set INPUT REMOTE in the <SET-UP MENU> screen to OFF. (See pages 9 and 10.)
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.
