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
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.
— 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
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.
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.

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
S-Video Plug
• Red plugs are for Right Audio connections
• 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.
AV Compu Link Cable
6) 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.

C O N N E C T I O N S 9
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 COMPULINK EX is compatible with the following 1998 receivers: RX-664V, RX-665V, RX-774V,
RX-884V, RX-1024V, and later receiver models.

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.
