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.  
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.  
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.  
SERVICE  
15 Unplug this TV set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to  
qualied 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 adjust-  
ment 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.  
8 TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet  
to allow heat generated during operation to be released.  
Therefore:  
E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
F. When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in perfor-  
mance — this indicates a need for service.  
— 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.  
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.  
— Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.  
— Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat registe.r  
9 To avoid personal injury:  
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.  
— 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.  
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.  
— Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresh-  
olds or deep pile carpets.  
Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by  
the manufacturer.  
19 When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper  
disposal could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a  
qualied service technician to dispose of the TV set.  
USE  
20 Note to CATV system installer.  
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.  
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.  
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.

PRECAUTIONS ABOUT VIDEO  
Before operating the video unit, please read the precautions on this page.  
Precautions About Moistur  
e
Precautions for Recording TV  
Condensation  
Programs  
What is Moisture Condensation?  
When you put cold water into a glass, water droplets  
form on its surface. This phenomenon is called  
moisture condensation.  
If Moisture Condensation Occurs  
The video unit may fail to operate, or may operate  
erratically potentially damaging the unit and video  
cassettes.  
When Does Condensation Occur?  
• When equipment is moved from a colder to a  
warmer place.  
About Copyright  
The recordings you make from TV programs or pre-  
recorded tapes cannot be used without permission  
from the copyright holders, except when they are  
used solely for personal enjoyment.  
Trial Recording Before Making Important  
Recordings  
Make a trial recording before an important program  
to be sure that you can record and playback audio  
and video properly.  
• Immediately after a room heater is started.  
• When the unit is exposed to a cold air flow (like  
from an air conditioner)  
• In high humidity or when steam is present.  
To Prevent Condensation  
• Wait about an hour before operating the unit so  
that it can become accustomed to the room  
conditions.  
Disclaimer:  
JVC assumes no liability for failure to record or  
playback audio and video properly with this unit.  
Precautions About Video Cassettes  
Keep these points in mind while working with video  
cassettes.  
Recording  
• Provide proper ventilation.  
• If you record on a previously recorded tape, the  
original content will be automatically erased.  
• Video cassettes cannot be reversed or “flipped  
over” like audio cassettes.  
If the unit fails to operate or operates poorly and you  
think condensation may be the cause, turn the units  
power off and wait a few hours before trying to  
operate the unit again.  
Handling Cassettes Properly  
• To store cassettes, place them inside their cases.  
The cases should then be stored vertically.  
• Do not drop cassettes, or give them any other  
hard shock.  
• Rewind cassettes before storing.  
• Do not repeatedly load and unload tapes without  
running them in between.  
Do Not Store in the Following Places  
• Exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating  
device.  
• Exposed to excessive humidity, smoke, or dust.  
• Near a strong magnet (including speakers).  
Enjoying Clear Video  
Cleaning the Video Heads  
After a long, or frequent use, the video heads inside  
the unit may become dirty, possibly resulting in poor  
picture quality. To prevent this from happening, it is  
recommended you clean the unit frequently with a  
head cleaning cassette (TCL-2 or 3, sold  
separately).  
If Video Quality is Still Poor After Cleaning  
Try cleaning the unit two or three times instead of  
just once. If the repeated cleaning still fails to  
produce better picture quality, an internal  
malfunction may be the cause. Call your local dealer  
for servicing.  
Prevent Accidental Erasur  
e
Remove the small plastic tab at the rear of the  
cassette. Without this tab, the cassette cannot be  
used for recording. It is recommended that you  
remove the tabs from important cassettes to prevent  
accidental erasure. To record on a cassette whose  
tabs have ben removed, cover the tab hole with two  
layers of adhesive tape.  
Video Heads beginning to get dirty  
Video Heads totally clogged  
Video Heads now fairly dirty

CONNECTIONS CHECKLIST — READ ME FIRST!  
The Connections Checklist — Read Me First! section of this guide is a list of ideas to keep in mind  
when you set out to perform your connections. It is designed to help us not-so-technically-  
advanced individuals. If you read this section, and can’t identify the plugs, connectors, and  
components you have, do not be afraid to seek help.  
1) Always refer to the connection instructions in the user’s  
A/V input plug  
guide for your components first! The manufacturer will  
provide the most detailed information about their products.  
2) Know your jacks and plugs — most are color coded:  
• Yellow plugs are Video connections  
• Red plugs are Right Audio connections  
• White or black plugs are Left Audio (Mono) connec-  
tions (if your camcorder is a stereo model, use a  
stereo-to-monaural conversion cable to connect to the  
Combo unit. Conversion cables may be purchased  
separately.)  
RF Connectors  
3) Perform one hookup at a time. If you have many  
accessories to connect, make sure each connection is  
correct by checking to see that it works properly before  
attempting the next connection.  
4) Unplug the power cord between each connection.

USING THIS GUIDE:  
Throughout this guide there are certain symbols we use  
as shorthand to show you what to do. When you see  
them, keep these factors in mind:  
Up and down arrows mean press the MENU UP or  
MENU DOWN buttons. Pressing the up or down  
buttons allows you to:  
• Move vertically in the main menu screen  
• Move through a submenu, or  
• Move to the next letter, number, or other  
choice in a submenu, or  
• Back up to correct an error  
PICTURE SETTINGS  
Left and right arrows mean press the MENU LEFT or  
MENU RIGHT button to:  
• Select the highlighted item, or  
• Select the options in a submenu  
The “Press Button” means you should press  
that button on the remote control  
The “Helping Hand” points to the highlighted or  
selected item in a menu.  
SOUND SETTINGS  
Important information, or a note, about a feature  
follows a cube like this one.  
SMALL CAPITAL LETTERS are used when we refer  
to buttons … this is important because some  
menu functions have the same name.  
THE ONSCREEN MENUS:  
To bring up the onscreen menu, press the MENU  
button on the remote, and the menu will appear on the  
screen. The "Helping Hand" will appear next to an item  
that is selected.  
TIMER SETUP ITEMS  
When you first turn on the TV, the “Picture Settings”  
menu will appear. However, “Initial Setup” is so  
important, that this guide begins here.

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, it is common for some cable companies to squash the transmission of  
stereo programs to mono because they only have mono equipment. If connected to a cable  
system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company — if they broadcast in mono, you  
receive mono sound regardless of the original stereo programming.  
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.
