Warnings  
Screen Burn-in  
A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) is that displaying the same image for a long  
time causes a part of the image to stay on the screen (this is called phosphor burn-in).  
Avoid burn-in as follows.  
IMAGE SHIFT  
The picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down and to the left and right at regular  
intervals. In order to prevent burn-in, set this function to FAST or STD. (Refer to page 42.)  
Even if the IMAGE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture will shift to the left or right when the  
channel or input is changed. This is only when the ASPECT function is in REGULAR mode.  
VIDEO STATUS  
The VIDEO STATUS function is initially set to DYNAMIC. Unless the TV is being watched in an  
extremely bright room, it is recommended to change the VIDEO STATUS setting to standard,  
theater or game. Doing so will reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the life of the PDP.  
(Refer to page 61).  
Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.  
TV off  
TV on  
XYZ  
XYZ  
For example...  
• Reduce PICTURE and BRIGHT on the PICTURE ADJUST menu (page 50) when viewing.  
Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 63).  
Screen size is normally chosen to ensure that the picture is displayed on the entire screen.  
After viewing in the REGULAR mode in which black bands may occur at the left and right of  
the screen, it is recommended to change to the PANORAMA mode to display the picture on the  
entire screen.  
TV off  
TV on  
For example...  
Do not view for long periods of time using the TWIN function (page 57) or INDEX  
function (page 57).

Warnings  
If Burn-in has occurred  
If burn-in occurs, try the BURN-IN IMAGE REDUCER function (page 52). If burn-in is minimal it  
may gradually become less noticeable.  
Note: Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.  
Point defects  
PDPs use collections of fine pixels to display images. While there is no problem with more than  
99.99% of these pixels, please understand that a very small number of pixels may not light or  
may light all the time.  
Do not install the TV near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic  
waves  
It may cause interference in images, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from  
this product.  
Effect on infrared devices  
There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.  
The phenomenon described below is not a malfunction.  
If the television is used at a location above an altitude of 2,000 m, a buzzing noise and image  
distortion may occur. This phenomenon is peculiar to PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and could  
occur with any television using PDP. It is not a malfunction.  
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  
When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft 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.

Getting Started  
Getting Started  
These quick setup pages will provide you, in four 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 26 - 29.  
Key Feature Buttons  
The four key feature buttons at the center of the remote can be

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 42, 55 and 33.  
• If you press the Menu button while setting up the interactive plug-in menu, it will skip over it.

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 a DVD discs, VCR tapes 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 36 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.

Dynamic Gamma  
JVC's Dynamic Gamma Circuitry (DGC) makes it easier to see dark areas when a picture  
has many dark areas, and makes it easier to see the bright areas when a picture has many  
bright areas. DGC is turned on, DGC analyzes and adjusts the total level of picture brightness  
balance, especially in dark areas where the level of greyscale is often lost, turning completely  
to black. DGC automatically enhances the detail in these dark areas providing a more dynamic  
image with ner detail, so the optimum picture settings are automatically set for each picture.  
Normally use with DGC on.
