Warnings
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 JVC’s model HD-52G586, HD-52G576 or HD-52G566 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 90 seconds. 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 90 seconds, 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 fingers 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 37 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.

Appendix
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 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.

Appendix
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, loosen the screw located on the lamp cover using your
fingers. If the screw is difficult to loosen using your fingers, loosen
by using a coin. Once the screw has been loosened, 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.
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 70 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
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 57.
