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  
(POLARIZED-TYPE)  
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.  
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.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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).  
Slide the cover on the back of the  
remote down towards the bottom of  
the remote control. Insert two batteries  
(included) carefully noting the “+” and  
“–” markings, placing the “–” end in the  
unit first. Slide 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 22 - 25.  
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.

Basic Operation  
Turn the television on and off by pressing the POWER button at the top right corner  
of the remote. If this is the first time you are turning on the TV, the interactive  
plug-in menu appears.  
�  
• Make sure the TV/CATV switch is set to TV. Move the switch to CATV only if  
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 22 to 25 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.  
• If you have a satellite television system, please refer to the satellite TV manual.

Connecting to an AV Receiver using your television's  
V1 Smart Input  
By connecting your AV Receiver to your television's V1 Smart Input, you can watch picture  
sources from many different devices, without having to change or use the other input  
connections on your TV. This allows you to free up the other input connections so you can  
connect more devices to your television.

Notes:  
• Please refer to your AV Receiver instruction manual for more information on connecting your  
speakers and other devices like a DVD player.  
• Use your AV Receiver's remote to switch to the different devices you have connected.  
• Some AV Receivers may not respond when the V1 Smart Input function is turned on.  
• If you have video connections for each input device connected to your AV Receiver, you  
should not connect them using both S-Video and Composite connection at the same time  
when you are using V1 Input as the V1 Smart Input. In this case we recommend using the  
S-Video connection.

Step 3 – The Interactive Plug In Menu  
When you turn your television on for the first time the interactive plug-in menu will appear. The  
plug-in menu helps you to get your TV ready to use by letting you set your preferences for:  
• The language in which you want the onscreen menus to appear.  
• Setting the TV’s clock to the correct time so your timer functions will work properly. You can  
choose “AUTO” or “MANUAL” for setting the clock.  
• The auto tuner setup of which channels you wish to receive.  
We recommend you complete the interactive plug-in items before you start using your  
television.  
Language  
After the “JVC INTERACTIVE PLUG IN MENU” has been displayed, the TV automatically  
switches to the LANGUAGE settings. You can choose to view your onscreen menus in three  
languages: English, French (Français) or Spanish (Español).

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 31 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

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.

Multi Screen Function  
PIP displays two separate pictures on screen. Your television has 2-Tuner PIP, meaning you  
can view pictures from two different channels simultaneously. A special set of PIP control  
buttons are located on the upper part of the remote control. Descriptions of each button  
appear on this page.  
Cable Box Note:  
The 2–Tuner Multi Screen function may not operate when used with certain cable boxes.  
This is because while some models of cable boxes may receive up to 181 channels, and  
may only send the signal from one channel to your television. (Please refer to diagram on  
page 12). For the 2–Tuner Multi screen function to operate correctly, it must have access  
to all available channels. Since the television is receiving the signal from only one channel  
from the cable box, it is impossible for the 2–Tuner Multi screen function to display a second,  
different channel. Because there are many different models of cable boxes in use today,  
if you are having problems operating your 2–Tuner Multi screen function feature with your  
cable box, we recommend you contact your local cable company for connection advice.
