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. 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). 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.  
(POLARIZED-TYPE)  
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.

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.

PORTABLE CART WARNING (Symbol provided by RETAC)  
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 its useful life, improper disposal could result in a picture tube  
implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of 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  
Getting Started  
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.  
If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult  
other sections of this manual.  
Step 1 – The Remote Control  
Before you can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).  
Lift and pull the latch on the back of the  
remote control to open. Insert two batteries  
(included) carefully noting the “+” and “–”  
markings, placing the “–” end in the unit first.  
Snap the cover back into place.  
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/satellite receiver  
may have to be reset. See pages 18 - 21.  
Key Feature Buttons  
The four key feature buttons at the center of the remote  
 
�  
can be used for basic operation of the television. The  
top and bottom buttons will scan forward and back  
through the available channels. To move rapidly through  
the channels using JVC’s Hyperscan feature, press  
and hold CH+ or CH–. The channels will zip by at a  
rate of five channels per second. The right and left  
buttons will turn the volume up or down. These buttons  
are also marked with four arrows and are used with  
JVC’s onscreen menu system. To use the onscreen  
menus, press the MENU button.

you need to operate a cable box.  
• Slide the VCR/DVD selector switch to VCR to control a VCR. Slide to  
DVD to control a DVD player. Please see pages 18 to 21 for instructions on  
programming your remote control to operate a cable box, VCR or DVD player.  
Step 2 – Connecting Your Devices  
Please follow the flow chart below to determine which connection setup is right for you. Then,  
refer to the appropriate diagrams to connect your television to other devices that you may have.  
After you are finished connecting your devices, plug the power cord into the nearest power  
outlet and turn on the TV.  
A VCR is not necessary for operation of the television. If you follow these diagrams and the  
television does not work properly, contact your local cable operator.  
To connect a DVD player, see Diagram #3. A DVD player is optional.

• Green, blue and red are the most common colors for DVD cables. Some models may vary  
colors. Please consult the user’s manual for your DVD player for more information.  
• Be careful not to confuse the red DVD cable with the red audio cable. It is best to complete  
one set of connections (DVD or audio output) before starting the other to avoid accidentally  
switching the cables.

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 a DVD discs, VCR tapes 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 26 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

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.
