SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
POWER
Always use the provided AC adapter.
Operate only from the power source specified AC 100-240 V,50/60Hz (6V DC , 1.5A) on the AC adapter.
In using, the AC adapter get heat on the surface of the case. It is normal, not defective.
Do not be covered with any material on case of AC adapter while it is in operation. Leave the 15 cm
space(minimum) around the AC adapter.
The rating information and safety caution of the AC adapter are on its case.
LEADS
Ensure the power supply lead, and all other leads, are positioned so they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by things placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to the power lead, where it enters the
mains plug and where it comes out of the STB. Do not connect or adjust leads when the STB is plugged in.
TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE
Do not leave or use the STB in a hot, cold or humid area. Do not allow the STB to get wet - from drips or
splashes - as this may be dangerous. Do not place water-filled objects such as flower vases, on top of the
STB.
VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the STB cover are for ventilation. Do not cover or block them as this could lead to
overheating.
CLEANING
Unplug the STB before it is cleaned. Use a lightly dampened cloth only. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
HEAT AND FLAMES
The receiver should not be placed near to naked flames or sources of intense heat, such as an electric fire.
Ensure that no naked flames sources, such as lighted candles, are placed on top of the STB.
LIGHTNING
Unplug your STB from the wall socket if there is a storm or lightning, or if it is to be unused for a long time.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
If your STB needs a replacement part, ensure the person undertaking the repair uses parts which are specified
by the manufacturer or have the same specifications as the original part. Other parts may cause a fire,
electric shock or other hazards.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Please ensure that exhausted batteries from the remote control handset are disposed of safely.
SERVICING
Ensure the person who services your STB is qualified to do so. Do not remove the cover yourself - you
could get an electric shock.
We are proud to offer a high-quality product. To keep this level of quality, your STB should be serviced at
a JVC authorised service centre.

PREPARATION
Switching on
Turn on your TV set and select the SCART input (with the AV key, or similar, on the television remote control).
Press the [STANDBY] key on the remote control handset. The power lamp change to green and the receiver's
menu will be seen on the TV screen.
If you do not see the receiver's menu on the television screen, press the AV button on your TV remote control
until you see the First Time Installation menu.
Initial settings
Because this is the first time that the receiver has been used, there are no channels stored in the receiver's
memory and the First Time Installation menu is displayed on the screen.
First you should select the type of TV set you have connected to the STB. Press the [LEFT] or [RIGHT]
keys on the remote control handset to switch the indicator on the screen to show either 16:9, if you have
a 16:9 or 'widescreen' TV, or to 4:3 if you have a standard TV set. Then press [OK] to start the installation
process. The next menu will appear.
Press the [OK] key to start the automatic search.
The receiver will automatically tune to the UHF transmission channels 21 to 68 looking for digital terrestrial
TV broadcasts and displaying the names of channels found. This process will take about five minutes.
When the search is finished, the first channel of the channel list and the information banner is displayed
you can now watch digital terrestrial broadcasting, selecting the channel you require as described in the next
section.
HINT
Depending on the reception conditionsin your particular area, you may find that the list of channels
found includes one or more repeated names. This is because the receiver may detect and store some
channels, including those it cannot receive clearly, from adjacent areas alongside the strong
channels from a transmitter nearby. This is not a problem and the weaker channels can be deleted
from the receiver later, as described in - ADVANCED OPERATION - Editing the channel list/PR list
on page 14.
- 8 -
If no digital terrestrial television broadcasts are
found the receiver will display a message:
You should then refer to the Troubleshooting Guide
on page 20 to establish the cause of the problem.
When you have finished watching digital terrestrial
broadcasting, you may wish to switch the receiver
to standby to save power - although the receiver can
remain powered up continuously, even when the
television is turned off, without harm to the
television or itself.
Hint
In standby, the receiver still consumes power
and thereby contributes to air and water
pollution and the exhaustion of the World's
natural resources. Overnight, or when your
receiver is not going to be used for long
periods of time, you can turn it off at the mains
and this will save energy (and save your
money). You will not have to re-install the
receiver when it is turned on again.
EVERYDAY OPERATION
While using the STB to the full there are great many
buttons to use in different situations. Many of the
menu screens displayed by the receiver have
reminders as to which keys do what, at the base of
the screen. In addition, many screens have further
help available which is displayed when the [i] key
is pressed, as prompted at the bottom right of the
screen.
Providing your TV set SCART socket has switch
control, pressing the [TV/DTV] key at any time while
watching television programmes will switch the TV
set between displaying the digital terrestrial
television programme and its normal analogue
television reception.
CHANGING CHANNELS
You can choose the channel by using the P /
buttons or the number buttons.
When using the number buttons, enter the
programme number as follows.
Example: PR6 press 6, PR12 press 12 ,
PR123 press 1,2 and 3.
Hint
The channel list numbers are assigned by the
broadcasters. Because not all channels are
broadcast free-to-air and stored by the receiver,
the channel list numbers do not run
continuously. The fifteenth channel in the list,
for example, may not be channel number 15 but
channel number 17.
Hint
If you enter a number which does not
correspond to a stored channel, the next valid
channel number is selected instead. If you enter
a number greater than the highest numbered
channel in the channel list, the receiver will
select the last channel in the list.
Information Banner
Whenever you change channel, using the [P+] and
[P-] keys or the number keys, the receiver displays
the channel picture along with an information banner
at the bottom of the screen. This will remain on the
screen for approximately three seconds. The
information banner can also be displayed at any
time while watching TV by pressing the [i] key on the
remote control. Pressing the [i] key again removes
the banner.
Hint
Not all channels broadcast the programme
data. If the name and times of the programme
is not available then ‘No Information’ is
displayed in the information banner.
The information banner gives a number of facts on
the channel selected and the programmes on it. The
name of the channel is displayed, along with its
channel list number and an indication of the strength
of the signal received on this tuning channel.
The name and the start and finish time of the
programme currently showing on the selected
channel are given, and the current time.
- 9 -
Icons are also displayed in the information banner
and if this channel is a favourite channel (see ADVANCED OPERATION - Favourite Channels on
page 15).
favorite channel icon
If the selected channel is locked (see - ADVANCED
OPERATION - Channel Protection on page 14), you
must enter the correct four digit code to view the
channel.
CHANNEL LIST
You can also select the required channel directly
from the on-screen channel list. This is displayed
using the receiver's Main Menu. First bring up the
menu with the [MENU] key on the remote control
handset.
Using the [UP] or [DOWN] keys on the remote
control, choose the Edit PR List and press the
[OK] key, to display the channel list.
Here, you can preview any channel stored by the
receiver before viewing it full screen. The complete
list of channels is displayed in pages of 11 channels
at a time, with their channel list number and a
favourite channel icon if appropriate (see ADVANCED OPERATION - Favourite Channels).
The name and a quarter-screen image of the
channel last viewed is displayed in the top right of
the screen.
Using the [UP] or [DOWN] keys, the highlight is
moved through the list to the channel required.
Pressing [OK] now changes the quarter-screen
display to show the highlighted channel.
Hint
From the Channel List screen, it is possible to
edit the channel list, including changing the
name of stored channels or deleting them.
Editing the list is covered in - ADVANCED
OPERATION - Editing The Channel List on
page 14. When using the Channel List to select
channels, use the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys to
ensure that the highlighted button at the bottom
of the screen is SELECT, so no editing functions
are accidentally begun.
When you leave the Channel List screen, by
pressing [MENU] the channel showing on the quarter
screen is selected for normal viewing on the whole
screen.
ELECTRONIC PROGRAMME GUIDE
The fourth way of selecting a channel is with the
electronic programme guide, or EPG. The EPG is
accessed by pressing the Guide key, [GUIDE]. Like
the Channel List, the EPG screen displays a list of
the stored channels along with information on what
programmes are being broadcast.
Depending on the area where you are located, you
will have either 7 days EPG or Now and Next EPG.
The EPG views information about services on a 7
day basis.
- 10 -
The channels are listed at the left of the screen,
each with the 'current event' (the name of the
programme showing at that time) and the 'next
events' (the following programmes). When the EPG
screen is first displayed, the channel last watched
is highlighted in the list of channels.
Details of the selected programme on that channel
(the name of the programme and, typically, a
synopsis with details of the stars involved, the
teams playing, or similar information) along with the
start and finish times are displayed at the bottom
of the screen.
Moving the highlight through the list of channels
using the [UP] and [DOWN] keys will change the
programme details in the text window to reflect the
channel highlighted.
You can leave the EPG screen, by pressing the
[GUIDE] key again, or the [MENU] key.
Hint
Not all channels broadcast all the programme
information data. Some channels do not
provide the current and next event data and/or
the programme details. In this case the
programme names and/or the details are not
displayed. This is not a fault with your receiver.
While the EPG screen is displayed, pressing the
[UP] or [DOWN] keys changes the time and
displays the highlighted channel's programme details
for the next events in time in the text window. As
before, you can browse through the list, checking
the programmes coming up next on all the channels.
Pressing the [OK] key while the next event details
are displayed will set a reminder to watch that
programme. The scheduled icon will appear.
You can return to the list of channels by pressing
the [LEFT] key or to the time and short event
description list by pressing [RIGHT] key.
You can change the day by pressing [YELLOW] or
[BLUE] keys. Pressing [BLUE] will display events
of the next day. Pressing [YELLOW] will display the
events of the previous day.
You can return to normal television viewing (to watch
the channel last selected in the EPG screen) by
pressing the [GUIDE] key again, or the [MENU] key.
WIDESCREEN
TV sets are available with screens of the standard
(4:3) format and widescreen (16:9) format. When
you first installed your receiver you specified the
format of the connected TV (this can now be altered
if necessary; see Section 3 - ADVANCED
OPERATION - Configuring Your Receiver).
Digital terrestrial television broadcasts are also made
in both standard and widescreen formats. In
particular, films and dramas tend to be broadcast
in widescreen format to closer emulate the cinema
experience, but even some news bulletins are
widescreen. To help get the most from both TV set
and programme when a widescreen film is watched
on a standard TV, or a standard broadcast is viewed
on a widescreen set, the receiver includes the
[WIDE] key.
So long as the receiver has been correctly set up
for the TV set connected, a widescreen programme
will always be displayed correctly on a widescreen
set, and a standard format programme will correctly
fill the screen of a standard format TV.
With a standard format TV displaying a widescreen
programme, the [WIDE] key switches between
displaying the picture with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen, and filling the whole height of
the screen but cropping the sides off according to
instructions broadcast with the programme (called
'pan and scan').
The effect of the [WIDE] key on the picture display
is cancelled by pressing [WIDE] again, changing
channel or turning the receiver to standby.
Subtitle
With Digital terrestrial broadcasting, some
programmes are broadcast with subtitles.
Subtitles can be displayed when watching these
programmes.
- 11 -
TV / DTV Key
If there is no connected VCR device, The TV/DTV
key is used to switch TV and DIGITAL TV modes.

You can still access all the channels in the channel
list by pressing in their channel list number or by
selection from the Channel List in the Edit PR List.
Alternatively you can switch off the favourite mode
from the Favourite Mode line of the Configuration
menu.
Hint
The favourite mode can only be activated if one
or more channels in the channel list are marked
as favourites. Similarly, if the favourite status
is removed from all the channels in the Channel
List, the favourite mode is turned off
automatically.
PROGRAMME REMINDERS AND TIMERS
With the greatly extended channel choice that digital
terrestrial television brings, it is all too easy to miss
a favourite programme. The receiver has two
facilities built in to help you make sure you catch
all the TV shows you want.
PROGRAMME REMINDERS
Programme reminders can be set to signal that a
programme is about to start when you are watching
another channel. A reminder is set from the
Electronic Programme Guide screen.
- 15 -
Press the [GUIDE] key to display the EPG screen
and press [RIGHT] to display the next programme
details in the text window and highlight the name of
the next programme in the list of channels. Press
[OK] when a programme you want to watch is
highlighted and the reminder icon is displayed
against that programme's name.
You can exit the EPG screen in the normal way pressing [GUIDE], [MENU]. Later, shortly before the
programme is due to start, the receiver will display
a reminder on the screen over the picture of the
channel being viewed.
Use the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys to highlight the YES
or NO buttons as appropriate and press [OK]. If you
select the YES button, the receiver switches over
to the reminder channel.
Note: Reminder events are ignored if any timer
event is active at that time.
EVENT TIMER
You can also set a timer to switch the receiver to
any channel without your intervention. This is
intended for making video recordings of
programmes when you are out. If a single
programme is to be recorded, the receiver can be
left switched to the required channel and the timer
set on the VCR. However, if two or more
programmes on different channels are to be
recorded then the receiver's own timer is set as well,
to select the required channel when it is needed.
Display the Main Menu by pressing the [MENU] key
and highlight and select the Timers line to display
the Timer menu screen. Up to five separate timer
events can be set and each is displayed in the Timer
screen, showing the event number, the channel to
be selected, the start time, end time, date and the
mode - whether that event is active (and will be acted
on) or not.
To set an event, highlight its mode button using the
[UP] or [DOWN] keys and press [OK] to display the
timer entry window. Here the five settings of channel
name, start time, end time, date and frequency
mode can be set. You can move freely between
each setting using the [UP] and [DOWN] keys. The
channel name is set using the [LEFT] or [RIGHT]
keys to display the channel which broadcasts the
programme to be recorded. The start time, end time
and date are each set with the number keys on the
remote control in 24-hour format. The frequency
mode determines how often the receiver operates
this event and is set with the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys
to be either Once, Daily, or Weekly.
Hint
If an invalid number for the start or end times
or the date is entered, the highest valid number
is automatically entered in its place. So,
entering 28:30 as the time will automatically
change to 23:30, and a date of 15:14:2002 will
change to 15:12:2002.
Pressing [MENU] or [OK] returns to the Timer screen
with the settings in place in the timer event list. The
event mode is automatically set to Active and you
can now return to normal viewing (press the [MENU]
keys) and at the appointed time the receiver will
switch over to the required channel and at the end
of the event, switch the receiver to standby.
When the Timer screen is displayed, any event can
be set to be Inactive (so it will not occur) or the
channel, times and frequency mode altered by
highlighting the event's Mode button and pressing
[OK] as before.You can exit the Timer screen and
return to normal TV viewing by pressing [MENU].
Hint
If you are watching digital terrestrial TV at the
time the timer event starts, a message is flashed
onto the screen announcing that the receiver is
'Switching to timer channel' so you understand
what is happening.

INSTALLATION
Although your receiver will not lose its settings or
stored channels when switched off, you may wish
to re-install the receiver because you have moved
to a different area with different broadcast
frequencies, you wish to reinstate a channel
previously deleted from the channel list, or you want
to watch new channels which have started
broadcasting.Press the [MENU] key to display the
Main Menu and using the [UP] or [DOWN] keys,
highlight the Installation line and press [OK] to
display the Installation Menu.
You can either perform a First Time Installation,
effectively resetting the receiver to its factory
setting condition, or just search for channels.
FACTORY SETTINGS
To reset the receiver, highlight the First Time
Installation line in the menu and press [OK]. A
warning screen is displayed in case of accidental
operation.
Highlight the YES button with the [LEFT] or [RIGHT]
key and press [OK] to erase all the channels and
settings and switch the receiver to standby. You can
now start again as detailed in - PREPARATION Initial settings on page 8.
ADD CHANNELS
The receiver can search for channels automatically
(searching all the broadcast frequencies for free-toair channels) or manually (searching one specified
broadcast frequency only for any channels to be
found there).
To perform Automatic search, Select Automatic
Search with the [UP] or [DOWN] keys and press
[OK]. A warning message is displayed. This starts
the automatic tuning process and searchesthrough
all the available broadcast frequencies for free-toair channels. Previous channels will be replaced on
automatic search.
If, alternatively, from the search options menu the
Manual Search line is highlighted and [OK] pressed,
the manual search screen is displayed.
Highlight the YES button with the [LEFT] or [RIGHT]
key and press [OK] to start the automatic search.
This is for searching for digital channels on a single
broadcast frequency. The frequency channel
number (21-69) is entered in the box at the top left
of the screen and the received signal level and signal
quality can be observed on the two bar graphs at the
bottom. When [OK] is pressed, the receiver
searches that frequency and display a list of the
channels found. Before returning to the Installation
menu.
Hint
The bar graphs of signal quality and signal
level give a good indication of whether any
channels are likely to be found. If only the signal
level graph shows a high value then it is likely
that an analogue channel occupies that
broadcast frequency. If the signal quality bar is
high as well then it is a digital frequency and
digital channels will probably be found.
Again, channels which duplicate those already in the
channel list are ignored. However, the manual
channel search will find all channels on the broadcast
frequency.When either search is finished, press the
[MENU] key to return to normal broadcast viewing,
to watch the new digital terrestrial television
channels found.
