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 speci fi 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.

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.

Warnings

Thank you for purchasing a JVC HDTV-ready projection television which uses the high-quality

HD-ILA projection system. This is one of the highest quality and most technologically advanced televisions available today. It is recommended that you read this instruction manual before using your television in order to learn about it’s many features. Cautions related to the safe use of the device and important information which will help you to be able to use this device for a long time is in the Appendix. Once again, thank you for purchasing this television and please enjoy using it.

In order to use the television for a long time

This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Before using this television, please read the safety cautions and information about this television which are summarized below.

1. When the power is turned on, the warming up commences

This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Once the lamp has warmed up, you can enjoy the pictures at their full brightness. What happens when the power is turned on is explained below. Immediately after the power is turned on, since the lamp has not had time to warm up, the picture is displayed only dimly on the screen. As the lamp warms up, the picture becomes brighter. It takes approximately one minute for the lamp to warm up to it’s normal operating temperature. There are 2 LED indicators on the front panel of the television that can be used as a guide. When the POWER button is pressed, the LAMP LED indicator blinks in orange for approximately 1 minute at approximately every 2 seconds, and then goes out.

Note: It is impossible to turn the power off during this period. After 1 or more minutes have passed, you can turn off the power.

2. Cooling the inside of the television and the lamp

Cooling is also performed while the television is being shut down.

When the POWER button is pressed to turn off the power, the following operations are performed. When the television is turned off, the picture on the screen disappears. Once the screen is dark, cooling is performed for approximately 1 minute. When the cooling is being performed, the LAMP LED indicator on the front panel blinks in orange at approximately every

3 seconds. The television can not be operated while the cooling is being performed.

After the cooling has been performed for 1 minute, the power is turned off. Do not remove the electrical plug until after the cooling process has completed.

If the electrical plug is removed before the cooling process has completed, the internal circuits and lamp may overheat leading to the life of the lamp being shortened and the possibility of malfunctions.

Do not block the ventilation holes.

Do not block the ventilation holes while the power is turned on. Do not block the air intake holes behind the speaker grills.

3. The lamp is a consumable item

Replace the lamp when it has blown or when the picture becomes dark. The lamp is a user replaceable item. The lamp must be recycled. For a detailed explanation on how to recycle the lamp, refer to the Appendix and the instructions that are included with the replacement lamp kit.

The life of the lamp changes depending on the atmospheric temperature and altitude in which the TV is being used.

Warnings

4. The television requires a lot of electrical power

It is recommended that the television is connected directly to the wall socket, and not to another device. When connecting the television to a wall socket that is being used by another device, or when using an extension cord, be careful not to exceed the electrical capacity of the socket.

Do not turn the power on and off repeatedly in a short amount of time.

It subjects the television and the lamp to stress and may lead to malfunctions and the life of the lamp being shortened.

5. The screen is made of plastic

Handle the screen very carefully as it can scratch easily. Do not rub, hit or press on it with any hard objects. When the screen is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Refer to the Appendix for details on how to clean the screen.

6. Caution! Warm air from the air ducts

This unit has an air duct for cooling. The duct will blow warm air while the television is operating.

When placing the television, make sure not to locate it too close to wallpaper. The warm air could cause the color of the wallpaper to change. Also, take care to keep children and pets away from the warm air ducts. Long exposure to the warm air from the ducts could cause a minor burn.

7. Caution! Moving this television

When lifting this television, Do not hold by the screen frame. Holding the screen frame could cause it to detach, causing the television to fall.

8. Do not replace the lamp immediately after use

The lamp becomes extremely hot during use. If the lamp is touched immediately after use before it has a chance to cool down, there is a danger of burns. Be careful when handling the lamp.

9. Do not touch the lamp glass

If the lamp is used when there is dirt from fi ngers on the lamp glass, there is a possibility of the lamp breaking. Be careful not to touch the lamp glass.

10. ILA element characteristics

Do not project still pictures or pictures that have still segments for a long period of time. The still parts of the picture may remain on the screen. This is a characteristic of ILA elements and not a malfunction. The picture will disappear over time.

11. Condensation

When a heater is turned on or the television is moved from a cold place to a hot place, droplets of water may form on the lamp and screen. This is called condensation. If the television is used while this condensation is still present, the picture may seem distorted, and the inside of the screen may become dirty. In this case, wait until the condensation has gone before using the television.

12. Do not open the rear cabinet of this television

This television has a DIGITAL-IN terminal. Opening up the rear cabinet will violate the copyright of the program or software shown on the television. Please do not open the rear cabinet.

13. Usable Time

Do not keep the TV on for more than 24 hours consecutively. There is a possibility of the life of the lamp being shortened.

V-Chip

Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which enables you to block channels or content that you feel to be inappropriate for children, based on US and Canada rating guidelines.

V-Chip has no effect on video signals from DVD discs or Camcorder connection.

Note: Some programs, and movies are broadcast without a ratings signal. Even if you set up V-CHIP ratings limits, these programs will not be blocked. See page 38 for information on how to block unrated programs.

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

V-Chip menu below is the starting point for your V-Chip settings

You can use US V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from the United States), Canadian

V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from Canada), and movie ratings. You may use any or all of the settings (US V-Chip, Canada V-Chip, Movie ratings). Descriptions for setting each of the three V-Chip formats appear in the next six pages along with descriptions of the rating categories.

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.

Aspect

This feature will help you adjust the picture you are watching to give you the best possible picture quality.

Aspect Ratios

PANORAMA - With this ratio a normal

4:3 aspect picture is stretched to fit the dimensions of the 16:9 aspect screen.

REGULAR - The regular ratio is used when you want to watch a 4:3 broadcast or recorded program without modifying the original picture to fit the dimensions of your

16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture will fill the screen from top to bottom, while black bars will appear to fill up the remaining space along the picture’s sides. The 4:3 picture will be centered within the boundaries of the

16:9 screen. CINEMA - This ratio “zooms in” on the center part of a 4:3 aspect picture, blowing it up to fill the 16:9 screen.

FULL - This is the ratio to use when watching 16:9 High-Definition broadcasts.

SLIM - This aspect mode shrinks the screen of 16:9 to 4:3. There are some programming that is already stretched by mistake at broadcasting companies, so this mode corrects it. Black side bars will appear.

PANORAMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to eliminate the black side bars.

Aspect Ratios in PC Mode

REGULAR - This is the original aspect mode.

CINEMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to eliminate the black surrounding bars.

Lamp Replacement

Changing the Lamp

WARNING!

It is very important that you NEVER TOUCH THE GLASS SURFACE OF THE NEW

LAMP. Touching the glass surface will deposit oils from your hand onto the lamp surface. When the lamp heats up to its operating temperature, the oil will cause a difference in temperature on the lamp surface that will likely cause the lamp to break.

Replace the lamp with part number TS-CL110U only! The television is designed to work specifically with this lamp. Using a different lamp, or a third-party manufacturer’s lamp could cause a malfunction and or damage to the television.

This television uses a 110-Watt high-pressure mercury lamp to project images onto the television screen. When the lamp nears the end of its operating life, you may notice the picture becoming dark. When the picture begins to darken, or the lamp burns out, it is time to replace the lamp. The following instructions will tell you how to safely replace the lamp.

WARNING!

Under operating conditions, THE LAMP WILL GET EXTREMELY HOT AND WILL

CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF TOUCHED.

Before attempting to replace the lamp, make sure the television has completely run through its cooling cycle. Turn the power off and wait until the LAMP/PROGRAM LED blinks very slowly and turns off completely. Unplug the TV. If you feel any warmth as you place your hand near the lamp, DO NOT TOUCH IT. Wait until the lamp has completely cooled before attempting to replace it. After turning the power off, wait at least 1 hour or more.

NEVER attempt to replace the lamp with the television plugged into a wall outlet.

Attempting to replace the lamp with the TV plugged in could lead to a severe electrical shock.

Do not keep the TV on for more than 24 hours consecutively. There is the possibility of the life of the lamp being shortened.

The life of the lamp changes depending on the atmospheric temperature and altitude in which the TV is being used.

Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel unsure about replacing the lamp yourself, call a service technician.

76

Lamp Replacement

Replacement Lamp Kit

Before replacing the lamp, you will need to purchase a replacement kit, part number

TS-CL110U. To purchase this kit, consult your dealer or call 1-800-252-5722, or go to www.jvc.

com.

The replacement kit will include the following:

1 High-Pressure Mercury Lamp 1 Instruction Manual

Because the lamp contains a small amount of mercury, it cannot be disposed of with normal trash.

Lamp Message

LAMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL FOR

REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS.

AFTER REPLACING THE LAMP,

PLEASE RESET TIMER IN THE TV

MENU.

PRESS OK, IF YOU DO NOT WANT

TO SEE THIS MESSAGE AGAIN.

If this message appears when you turn the TV on, you need to replace the lamp. See page 78 on how to replace the lamp.

Note:

• This message will appear every time you turn on the TV when the lamp needs to be replaced. Press the OK button to make the message disappear, or replace the lamp.

77

Lamp Replacement

How to Replace the Lamp

Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel unsure about replacing the lamp yourself, call a service technician.

Please observe all safety warnings.

1) Turn off the television.

Press the POWER button on the remote control or TV front panel. Wait until the picture has closed and the LAMP LED on the front panel has stopped blinking indicating the lamp cool down is complete.

Warning: The cool-down process cools the lamp from its operating temperature. This does not mean that the lamp will now be cool enough to handle safely. We strongly recommend you wait at least one hour before proceeding.

2) Unplug the television.

Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Make sure that the LAMP LED light has stopped blinking before you unplug the set. Never attempt to replace the lamp with the television plugged in.

3) Remove the lamp cover.

The lamp is located behind the lamp cover below the left side of the television. To access the lamp you will need to remove the lamp cover.

First, remove the screw located on the lamp cover using a Philips head type screwdriver (cross-head type). Once the screw has been removed, gently pull the knob towards you and the panel will come away from the television. Set it aside.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove the assembly until the lamp has fully cooled. If you feel any heat near the lamp, STOP and wait until the lamp has FULLY COOLED.

NEVER attempt to remove the lamp with the television plugged into an outlet.

DO NOT DROP the used lamp. The inside of the lamp is under pressure. Dropping or other hard shock could cause the lamp to shatter.

ALWAYS recycle the used lamp. Because the lamp contains a small amount of mercury, it cannot be thrown away with regular trash. Follow the recycling instructions included with the

Lamp Replacement Kit.

78

Lamp Replacement

4) Remove the lamp unit.

Using a Philips head type screwdriver (cross-head type), loosen the two screws fastening the lamp unit. When the screws have been loosened, remove the lamp by raising the handle and gently sliding the unit straight towards you. Place it carefully in the recycling packaging.

5) Install the new lamp unit.

Holding the handle attached to the new lamp unit, slide and push the new lamp straight into the television and back into the lamp housing area. Do not forget to re-tighten the two screws.

Note: If the lamp does not sit securely in the TV (flat in the lamp housing area), it won’t turn on.

Make sure the lamp sits securely and flat in the housing area.

WARNING!

Remember it is very important that YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP SURFACE. Please read the warnings on page 76 again.

Also, replace the lamp with part number TS-CL110U only! The television is designed to work specifically with this lamp. Lamps other than TS-CL110U may cause malfunctions and/or other damage to the television.

NOTICE (for USA)

This product has a High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp that contains a small amount of mercury. It also contains lead in some components. Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities, or the

Electronics Industries Alliance: http://www.eiae.org

To purchase a replacement lamp kit, please call 1-800-252-5722.

6) Re-install the lamp cover.

Insert the lamp cover in the right concave and close the lamp cover. Because the lamp cover has a role to help prevent the danger of an electrical shock, tighten the screw using your fingers.

Note:

• After installing the new lamp unit, do not forget to reset the lamp timer. See page 61.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEMS

Static electricity

CHECK

• It is normal to feel static electricity if you brush or touch the screen.

You hear occasional crackling sounds

• It is normal for the TV to make crackling sounds when first turned on or off. Unless

the sound or picture become abnormal, this is fine.

The following are not malfunctions.

• The television may make a creaking sound if the temperature of the room or the temperature inside the television changes. If there is no problem with the screen or sound, then there is no need to worry.

• The lamp may make a noise when it blows, but this is not dangerous.

• The lamp may make a noise when the power is turned on and a picture is displayed on the screen. This noise is caused when the mercury inside the lamp is heated, and is not a malfunction.

• The still parts of a picture may remain on the screen. This is a characteristic of HD-ILA elements and not a malfunction. The picture will disappear over time.

• The operation of this television is not guaranteed below 0ºC. If the power is turned on while the temperature is below 0ºC, the picture may be disturbed. Use the television when the temperature is 0ºC or higher.

• Although the HD-ILA element is manufactured with high-precision technology, please understand that some pixels may be lost or permanently displayed.

• There is a cooling fan built-in to the television. Please understand that this fan will make some noise when the television is on and while cooling.

• Although the picture may be temporarily disturbed and noise may be seen on the screen if the power is turned on immediately after it has been turned off. This is not a malfunction.
