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.

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 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.

19 When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper

disposal could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a

qualiﬁed 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.

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.

RF Connectors

1) Refer to the connection instructions in the user’s

guide for each component you plan to connect.

They will provide more detailed information about

their products, and they will tell you what plugs and

cables are required.

2) Most A/V input jacks and plugs are color coded:

• Yellow plugs are Video connections

• Red plugs are for Right Audio connections

S-Video Plug

• White plugs are Left Audio (Mono) connections

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.

(For example, always start with the RF or Cable

connections, make sure it works, then move on to

video or VCR connections.)

A/V Input Plug

4) Unplug the power cord between each connection.

5) Each jack on the back of the TV is labeled. If you

read these instructions and still do not fully under-

stand the connections process, seek assistance.

6) The IR Mouse lets TV Guide Plus+ control your

IR Mouse

cable box and/or your VCR. You must place the

transmitter of the IR Mouse in front of the correspond-

ing window on the cable box or VCR.

7) The AV Compu Link Cable is supplied with the

JVC device which you want to connect. If you do

not have one, but you do have a JVC Compu Link

capable VCR or HiFi, contact your local JVC dealer.

CONNECTING TO JVC AV COMPU LINK

CAPABLE COMPONENTS

AV Compu Link makes playing video tapes totally automatic. Simply insert a pre-recorded tape* into

the JVC brand VCR, and the VCR automatically turns on and starts playing. At the same time, the

VCR sends an AV Compu Link signal to the television telling it to turn on and switch to the correct

video input.

NOTE: The AV Compu Link cable should be included with the AV Compu Link capable accessory

you intend to connect. If it is not, contact an authorized JVC Service Center for Part # EWP 805-012.

NOTES:

A) The AV Compu Link cable has a male 3.5 mm (mono) mini plug on each end.

B) If your JVC brand VCR has A Code/B Code Remote Control Switching (see your VCR instructions),

using VCR A Code will switch the TV to Video Input 1. If you use Input 1 for Video out from the

cable box, use Input 2 here. Using B Code will switch the TV to Video Input 2.

C) To connect a JVC HiFi receiver or ampliﬁer for a completely automated home theater, see the HiFi

receiver's instructions for detailed hookup diagrams.

* In order for the VCR to start playback automatically, the recording tabs must be removed from the

VHS tape. If the tab is in place, automatic switching starts when you push the VCR PLAY button.

** AV COMPU LINK EX is compatible with the following 1998 receivers: RX-664V, RX-665V, RX-774V,

RX-884V, RX-1024V, and later receiver models.

found.)

1. Press the GREEN button if your VCR switches to

Channel 9.

2. If your VCR does not switch to Channel 9, press

YELLOW and TV will try another version of your code.

(If TV Guide Plus+ does not recognize your VCR, a screen stating, “VCR test

2 T V G U I D E P L U S + S E T U P

END OF SETUP

1. A screen telling you that TV Guide Plus+ will be ready for use within 24

hours appears. Make sure that you turn the cable box ON and the VCR

OFF. If you have a system with a cable box, make sure you change the VCR

channel back to where you normally watch or record from the cable box

(typically Channel 03 or 04.)

2. Press the BLUE button to exit setup.

3. Turn the TV off.

4. Data downloading usually takes less than 15 minutes. However, on some

cable systems, this download may take as much as two hours.

NOTE: If you do not have a cable box, you can watch TV while the Host Search

and Download are in progress. Also, note that TV GuidePlus+ will not be

available until the Host Search and download functions are complete. Refer to

page 23 for TV Guide Plus+ messages.

CHANNEL MAPPING

After the data for TV Guide Plus+ is set up, a “channel map” has been created. If there is more than one

cable company servicing your local area, the Host Search will yield the Channel Mapping Screen which will

appear the ﬁrst time you press the GUIDE/TV button. Essentially, TV Guide Plus+ is asking you to complete

the host search by identifying which cable company you use. Identify your cable company by conﬁrming

which stations actually are found on the channel numbers indicated by TV Guide Plus+.

CHANNEL MAPPING

The Channel Mapping Screen may appear the ﬁrst time you turn on TV Guide

Plus+, after the Initial Setup download, if the channel map is not identiﬁed.

1. Determine which channels the stations displayed are on

(as in this example FAM and WGN).

2. Press GREEN or

to move the cursor left, YELLOW or

to move the cursor right.

3. Press BLUE for Select when the cursor is on the proper

channel numbers.

NOTE: If you do not know at what channel number the listed stations are found, press the round EXIT button on the remote,

go to those channels to check the channel numbers, and then come back to TV Guide Plus+ (by pressing the GUIDE/TV

button) to complete the setup.

SOME VERY IMPORTANT FINAL WORDS ON TV GUIDE PLUS+

NOTE 1: TV Guide Plus+ automatically includes up to 50 channels in the guide. See page 33 “TV Guide Plus+ Channel

Editor” if you have a cable system with more than 50 channels or to customize the list to your level of cable

service.

NOTE 2: If the channels are O.K., but there are no listings of programs, or there are only partial listings, don’t worry, you

just need more data. The time for the next data download is displayed in the blue information box (upper right

corner of TV Guide Plus+ screen when you tune a channel that says, “No Listing”).

NOTE 3: If you use a Cable Box the TV Power must be OFF in order for the data download to work.

TV GUIDE PLUS+ MESSAGES TO THE VIEWER

Once TV Guide Plus+ is set up, you can start enjoying the many features of your new TV! But,

before we jump right into it, there are some operating features of TV Guide Plus+ that you should

be aware of...

DOWNLOADING DA TA

There are two types of data download — the “Host Search” and “Data Download”.

THE HOST SEARCH — The Host Search is the Download search that we have been discussing thus

far. This search begins automatically once you begin the TV Guide Plus+ Setup. Once completed:

• The TV’s Clock is automatically set to the correct time

• Station ID’s are set via the information that TV Guide Plus+ collects. If you use a cable box,

the station ID's will not be set.

DATA DOWNLOAD — The second type of data download is based on the broadcasting schedule.

Several times a day TV Guide Plus+ will complete a download that updates the data information.

HOST SEARCH MESSAGES

During the initial host search, TV Guide Plus+ information and PIP are not available.

USING TV GUIDE PLUS+

Below are common screens that you will see when using TV Guide Plus+. Since TV Guide Plus+

contains downloadable data, new program information comes in daily, the screens in this book

are not actual. They are representations of what you are likely to see.

As with the program information, the Features and options or categories of TV Guide Plus+ are

also downloadable and therefore these too can change daily. This is really the information

superhighway coming to your living room. There will be more options available to you in the future

as we come up with even more really good ideas. For now, enjoy!

T V G U I D E P L U S +

SURFING

You can SURF the channels through TV Guide Plus+. The TV Guide Plus+ PIP window will display

each show as you go, and when you exit TV Guide Plus+ you will automatically go to the channel last

displayed in the PIP window.

WHAT’S NEXT!

You can see what’s on next for the channel that you are viewing, and still see the current program in

the PIP window.

T V G U I D E P L U S +

SCANNING

You can SCAN what’s on later today, or even all day tomorrow, and still watch whatever you were

watching in the TV Guide Plus+ PIP window.

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 your TV is 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.
