Quick Setup Getting Started
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).
Lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote control to open. Insert two batteries
(included) carefully noting the “+” and “–” markings, placing the “–” end in the unit first.
Snap 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 18 - 20.
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
ENU
button.

Step 2 – Connecting Your Devices
Please follow the flow chart below to determine which connection setup is right for you. Then, refer to the appropriate diagrams to connect your television to other devices that you may have.

Quick Setup Connections
Notes:
• Green, blue and red are the most common colors for DVD cables. Some models may vary colors. Please consult the user’s manual for your DVD player for more information.
• Be careful not to confuse the red DVD cable with the red audio cable. It is best to complete one set of connections (DVD or audio output) before starting the other to avoid accidentally switching the cables.
• If you use INPUT 2 (Component-In), for a DVD connection, you must select
"V2-COMPONENT" by pressing the I
NPUT
button, for proper display of the DVD signal.
• Progressive DVD players (players with an output scan of 31.5 KHz) will not work properly with this television. Set your DVD player’s output to “interlaced”, or non-progressive mode.

Quick Setup Plug-In Menu
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.
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).

Auto Clock Set
Before you use any of your TV’s timer functions, you must first set the clock. You may precisely set your clock using the XDS time signal broadcast by most public broadcasting stations. If you do not have this in your area, you will have to set the clock manually. See manual clock set below. To set the clock using the XDS signal:

October.
• You will have to reset the clock after a power interruption. You must set the clock before operating any timer functions.

In auto tuner setup, the TV automatically scans through all available channels, memorizing the active ones and skipping over blank ones or channels with weak signals. This means when you scan (using the C
