Warnings

We have an important note for customers who subscribe to basic cable services (do not have a separate cable box) and plan to use their JVC TV remote control to select channels.

Once you run the Auto Tuner Setup (which detects and programs all the channels your TV is receiving through the RF input), every channel number available from your cable company will appear in your television’s Channel Summary and they will all be marked as available for scanning. Even though every channel is detected and appears as available, you will only be able to view those that you specifi cally subscribe to from your cable company. This will likely mean there are blank channels between those channels you wish to scan or “surf”.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it is important to note that this is not a malfunction of your television. If you want to sequentially scan those channels you subscribe to without blank ones in between, you can contact your cable company for their cable box and remote.

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:

For example...

• 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.

Warnings (Continued...)

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.

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.

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 – The Remote Control

Before you can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).

Slide the cover on the back of the remote down towards the bottom of the remote control. Insert two batteries (included) carefully noting the “+” and “–” markings, placing the “–” end in the unit first. Slide 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 27 - 30.

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

TV in their digital form. Some HDMI devices can include DVD players, D-VHS or any HDMI compatible device.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry supported, uncompressed, all digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides and interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, A/V receiver or an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).

HDMI Cable

1) Connect the HDMI Cable from the DIGITAL OUT on the back of your DTV or HDMI device, to the DIGITAL-IN on the back of your television.

Notes:

• When you do the above connection, set DIGITAL-IN1 AUDIO in the Initial Setup menu to

DIGITAL. See "DIGITAL-IN1 AUDIO", page 52.

• Some decoders may not respond depending on the equipment that you have connected when it is connected to the HDMI.

• If the HDMI output device signal is changed (for example, 480i/60Hz is changed to

480p/60Hz), the screen may turn green and there may be some distortion for a short time until the signal becomes stable.

• When you have an HDMI device connected to the HDMI 1 connection on the back of your TV, your TV detects it, and blocks the analog audio signal coming into the "FOR HDMI 1" jacks.

Therefore, you can not hear any analog sound from the other device conected to the "FOR

HDMI 1" jacks, while you are viewing the images from the HDMI device.

Quick Setup

Step 3 – The Interactive Plug In Menu

When you turn your television on for the first time the interactive plug-in menu will appear. The plug-in menu helps you to get your TV ready to use by letting you set your preferences for:

• The language in which you want the onscreen menus to appear.

• Setting the TV’s clock to the correct time so your timer functions will work properly. You can choose “AUTO” or “MANUAL” for setting the clock.

• The auto tuner setup of which channels you wish to receive.

We recommend you complete the interactive plug-in items before you start using your television.

Notes:

• The interactive plug-in menu setting does not appear if your TV has been turned on before.

In this case use the onscreen menus to perform these settings. See pages 44, 60 and 34.

• If you press the Menu button while setting up the interactive plug-in menu, it will skip over it.

Language

After the “JVC INTERACTIVE PLUG IN MENU” has been displayed, the TV automatically switches to the LANGUAGE settings. You can choose to view your onscreen menus in three languages: English, French (Français) or Spanish (Español).

Note (for Canadian viewers): The V-Chip function is based on specifications designed for the United States and therefore may not work properly in Canada.

You can customize the V-Chip settings of your television to match your personal tastes. The

Movies Ratings

❒ NR – Not Rated

This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries which do not use the MPAA ratings system. Other NR films may be from amateur producers who didn’t intend to have their film widely released.

NR (Not Rated) Programming may contain all types of programming including children’s programming, foreign programs, or adult material.

❒ G – General Audience

In the opinion of the review board, these films contain nothing in the way of sexual content, violence, or language that would be unsuitable for audiences of any age.

❒ PG – Parental Guidance

Parental Guidance means the movie may contain some contents such as mild violence, some brief nudity, and strong language. The contents are not deemed intense.

❒ PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned

Parents with children under 13 are cautioned that the content of movies with this rating may include more explicit sexual, language, and violence content than movies rated PG.

❒ R – Restricted

These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for unsupervised children under the age of 17.

❒ NC-17 – No One Under 17

These movies contain content which most parents would feel is too adult for their children to view. Content can consist of strong language, nudity, violence, and suggestive or explicit subject matter.

❒ X – No One under 18

Inappropriate material for anyone under 18.

Troubleshooting

Refer to the table below to check the condition. If you think that there is a problem, contact the

JVC Service Center where you purchased the television.

PROBLEMS CHECK

There is no power • See if the power cord became unplugged.

• Check for a blown fuse or circuit breaker or a power outage.

There is no picture or sound

• The antenna could be disconnected.

• The input mode could be set improperly. See page 64.

• The tuner (Auto Tuner Setup) could be set improperly. See page 34.

• The TV station may be having difficulties. Check to see if other stations are working.

• Use the HDMI cable with HDMI logo . See page 20.

• You can not output audio using the AUDIO OUTPUT under the following conditions:

HDMI 2 connection on the back of your TV. (See page 20).

2) When you have analog sound from a DVI device connected to the

AUDIO IN "FOR HDMI 1" connection. (See page 19).

• When you have an HDMI device connected to the HDMI 1 connection on the back of your

TV, your TV detects it, and blocks the analog audio signal coming into the "FOR HDMI 1”

jacks. Therefore, you can not hear any analog sound from the other device conected to the

"FOR HDMI 1" jacks, while you are viewing the images from the HDMI device.

(See page 20).
