IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
CAUTION:  
Please read and retain for your safety.  
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV set has been engineered and  
manufactured to assure your personal safety. But improper use can result in potential  
electrical shock or fire hazards! In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this TV  
set, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.  
And also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.  
INSTALLATION  
1) Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one blade of the plug is wider than  
the other).  
(POLARIZED-TYPE)  
This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power outlet only one way. Should you be  
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.  
Should it still fail to fit, contact your electrician.  
2) Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the  
operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to  
your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer  
to the operating instructions.  
3) Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords  
and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service technician for  
replacement.  
4) Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV set  
where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.  
5) Do not use this TV set near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,  
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.  
6) If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the antenna system is grounded  
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section  
810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of  
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge  
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection  
requirements for the grounding electrode.  
IMPORTANT RECYCLING INFORMATION  
This product utilizes both a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and other  
components that contain lead. Disposal of these materials may be  
regulated in your community due to environmental considerations.  
For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
7) An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or  
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.  
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from  
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING  
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE  
8) TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow heat generated during  
operation to be released.  
Therefore:  
— Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV set by placing it on a bed, sofa,  
rug, etc.  
— Never place a TV set in a “built-in” enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.  
— Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.  
— Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat register.  
9) To avoid personal injury:  
— Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.  
— Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV set manufacturer.  
— Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.  
— Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a  
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.  
USE  
10) Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet  
openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or  
electrical shock.  
11) Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or an aerosol  
cleaner.  
12) Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for this purpose. Such  
additions may result in a hazard.

13) For added protection of the TV set during a lightning storm or when the TV set is to be left  
unattended for an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect  
the antenna. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning storms or power line  
surges.  
14) A TV set and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,  
and uneven surfaces may cause the TV set and cart combination to overturn.  
SERVICE  
15) Unplug this TV set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel  
under the following conditions:  
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
B. If liquid has been spilled into the TV set.  
C. If the TV set has been exposed to rain or water.  
D. If the TV set does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust  
only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions as improper  
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work  
by a qualified technician to restore the TV set to normal operation.  
E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
F. When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for  
service.  
16) Do not attempt to service this TV set yourself as opening or removing covers may expose  
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service  
personnel.  
17) When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify in writing that the  
replacement parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use  
of manufacturer’s specified replacement parts can prevent fire, shock, or other hazards.  
18) Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV set, please ask the service technician  
to perform the safety check described in the manufacturer’s service literature.  
19) When a TV set reaches the end of it’s useful life, improper disposal could result in a  
picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose the TV set.  
20) Note to CATV system installer.  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of  
the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the  
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the  
point of cable entry as practical.

Quick Setup 1  
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. This information includes basic instructions  
on operating your remote control, making a simple cable/antenna and optional VCR connection  
and, finally, information on programming your television's Auto Tuner.  
If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult  
other sections of this manual.  
Step One - The Remote Control  
The remote control is the key to operating your television's many great features. 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.  
Basic Operation  
Turn the television on and off by pressing the POWER button at the top right corner of the  
remote.

Connecting a DVD Player, DTV Decoder, and D-VHS  
Your AV-56WP30 or AV-48WP30 television is HDTV and SDTV-Ready. This means it can  
display High Definition television images when connected to a digital television receiver*. DTV  
Decoders are available separately. For best image quality, we recommend using a DTV  
Decoder which uses Component Video (Y, PB, PR) Output to connect to the television. The  
diagram below shows how to connect a DTV Decoder with using the television’s Component  
Video-in jacks.

DTV decode Digital-Out terminal output setting to 1080i, 720p or 480p. For detailed  
information, refer to the DTV decoder instruction manual. If you can not display the picture  
because your DTV decoder does not have a Digital-Out terminal output setting, use the  
component Video Input (or the S-Video Input or Video Input). (Refer to page 15) In this case  
the picture will be displayed as an analog signal.  
• The Digital-In terminal is not compatible with the picture signal of a personal computer.  
• Use a DVI-D Single Link 19-pin cable (commercially available) in order to digitally connect  
the television with a DTV decoder.  
If 480p signals (640x480 or 720x480) are displayed on the screen, the horizontal balance may  
be slightly shifted. In cases such as this, the horizontal balance can be adjusted by accessing  
“DIGITAL-IN” in the INITIAL SETUP Menu. (Refer to page 41.)

JVC’s AV Compu Link III feature makes playing video tapes totally automatic. Simply insert a  
pre-recorded tape* into your JVC-brand VCR and the VCR will automatically turn on and begin  
playback. At the same time, using the AV Compu Link, the VCR sends a signal to the television  
telling it to turn on and switch to the proper video input to watch a video tape.  
• The AV Compu Link cable may be included with the JVC AV Compu Link accessory you wish  
to connect. If it is not, contact an authorized JVC Service Center for part # EWP 805-012.

Remote Control  
Install the Batteries  
• Before you can operate the remote control, you must first install the batteries (included).  
• Push down on the remote’s back cover and slide towards the bottom to remove it.  
• Insert two AA batteries (supplied), carefully noting the “+” and “–” markings on the batteries  
and on the remote control. To avoid a potential short circuit, insert the “–” end first. Be sure to  
use only size AA batteries.  
• When batteries are installed, slide the cover back into place (until it clicks into position).  
• If the remote control acts erratically, replace the batteries. Typical battery life is six months to  
one year. We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.  
• 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  
may have to be reset (pages 22-24).

V-Chip  
V-Chip  
Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which enables TV Parental Guideline and Movie  
(MPAA) Guideline controls. V-Chip technology allows you to program your TV to receive, or not  
to receive, programs based on content according to the guidelines. Programs which exceed the  
ratings limits you set will be blocked from viewing.  
U.S. Parental Rating Systems  
Programs with the following Ratings are appropriate for Children.  
TV-Y is Appropriate for All Children. Programs are created for very young viewers  
and should be suitable for all ages, including children ages 2 - 6.  
TV-Y7 is for Older Children. Most parents would find such programs suitable for  
children 7 and above. They may contain some mild fantasy violence or comedic violence,  
which children should be able to discern from reality.  
Programs with the following Ratings are designed for the entire  
audience.  
TV-G stands for General Audience. Most parents would find these programs  
suitable for all age groups. They contain little or no violence, no strong language, and little or  
no sexual dialog or situations.  
TV-PG Parental Guidance Suggested. May contain some, but not much, strong  
language, limited violence, and some suggestive sexual dialog or situations. It is recommended  
that parents watch these programs first, or with their children.  
TV-14 Parents Strongly Cautioned. Programs contain some material that may be  
unsuitable for children under the age of 14 including possible intense violence, sexual  
situations, strong coarse language, or intensely suggestive dialog. Parents are cautioned  
against unattended viewing by children under 14.  
TV-MA Mature Audiences Only. These programs are specifically for adults and may  
be unsuitable for anyone under 17 years of age. TV-MA programs may have extensive V, S, L,  
or D.  
Viewing Guidelines  
In addition to general ratings, programs may include specific information on content. The  
following codes are used:  
• V/FV is for VIOLENCE/FANTASY VIOLENCE  
• S stands for SEXUAL CONTENT  
• L stands for strong LANGUAGE  
• D stands for suggestive DIALOG

MPAA (Motion Picture Assoc. of America) 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” 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.  
Special Note about Ratings  
Some programs are broadcast without a ratings signal. Therefore, even if you setup V-CHIP  
ratings limits, these programs will not be blocked. Parents are cautioned to preview the  
contents of these programs or movies.  
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.

STEREO SAP  
MONO  
Many broadcasts today contain more than one audio signal. In addition to stereo and mono  
soundtracks, some broadcasts also contain a second soundtrack in a different language. Use  
MTS to select the audio signal you wish to listen to.  
• Select STEREO for your normal listening needs. With this setting programs broadcast in  
stereo will be played by the TV in stereo. Programs broadcast in mono sound only will be  
played in mono sound.  
• Select MONO if you are receiving a weak signal. Mono sound will usually give clearer sound  
from weak signals than will stereo. With this setting all broadcasts, mono and stereo, will be  
played in mono sound only by the television.  
• Select SAP (Second Audio Program) to listen to an alternate soundtrack (if one is being  
broadcast). Alternate soundtracks may be the dialog of a program in a different language or  
additional information about a program topic. A logo will appear at the beginning of a  
program with SAP to inform you that an alternate soundtrack is available.  
Some Sound Advice  
You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the  
MTS menu. Unfortunately, some cable companies may “squash” the transmission of stereo  
programs because they have only monaural equipment. If you are connected to a cable  
system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company. If they broadcast only monaural  
signals, your television will only receive a mono signal even if the program was originally  
broadcast in stereo.  
Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television  
networks. If you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the tuner mode in  
the AUTO TUNER SETUP to “AIR” instead of “CABLE” you will be able to pick up stereo  
broadcasts in stereo.

Aspect  
Aspect  
Your television can display images in one of four aspect ratios. The aspect ratio is the ratio of  
image width to height as displayed on the screen. The AV-56WP30 or AV-48WP30 has a “wide  
screen” with an aspect ratio of 16:9.  
A traditional television picture has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Since you will likely view programs  
from several different ratios, this feature will help you adjust your picture image to match, giving  
you the best possible picture quality.  
Press the ASPECT button on the remote control. The menu shown (left) will appear. To select  
the aspect ratio you wish to view, press the ASPECT button to move down the list. Each press  
will move to the next ratio, the onscreen display will change automatically. The aspect ratios  
are:  
PANORAMA - With this ratio a normal 4:3 aspect picture is  
stretched to fit the dimensions of the 16:9 aspect screen.  
ASPECT  
PANORAMA  
• CINEMA - This ratio “zooms in” on the center part of a 4:3  
aspect picture, blowing it up to fill the 16:9 screen.  
CINEMA  
FULL  
REGULAR  
• FULL - This is the ratio to use when watching 16:9  
High-Definition broadcasts.  
• REGULAR - The Regular ratio is used when you want to watch a  
4:3 broad cast or recorded program without modifying the original  
picture to fit the dimensions of your 16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture  
will fill the AV-56WP30’s or AV-48WP30’s 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.  
When you have selected the ASPECT ratio you wish to view, either press ENTER or wait a few  
seconds for the ASPECT menu to disappear. You may change the ASPECT at any time.

Adjusting CRT Color Convergence  
This TV has three color projection tubes: one for red, green, and blue. When mixed together in  
the proper portions, the output of these three color tubes can produce any color. To produce  
these colors, however, the beams must be precisely aligned over each other so that the colors  
can be mixed. The produce of aligning these picture beams is called “convergence”.  
Attention:  
• This adjustment will be needed only when the colors of the characters/lines are seperated  
and lack in distinction.  
• If not, please don’t perform the adjustment.  
Colors may become seperated after the TV has been moved, or over a long period of time if  
regularly subjected to low levels of vibrations. If the colors become seperated, please perform

• This function will not work when the picture from component terminal or HDCP terminal is  
displayed.  
• SWAP function will not work.  
Cable Box Note:  
The 2–Tuner Multi Screen function may not operate when used with certain cable boxes. This  
is because while some models of cable boxes may receive up to 181 channels, and may only  
send the signal from one channel to your television. (Please refer to diagram on page 14).  
For the 2–Tuner Multi screen function to operate correctly, it must have access to all available  
channels. Since the television is receiving the signal from only one channel from the cable  
box, it is impossible for the 2–Tuner Multi screen function to display a second, different  
channel. Because there are many different models of cable boxes in use today, if you are  
having problems operating your 2–Tuner Multi screen function feature with your cable box, we  
recommend you contact your local cable company for connection advice.

Appendix A  
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 of the AV-56WP30 or AV-48WP30 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.
