Warnings  
We have an important note for customers who subscribe to basic cable services (do not have  
a separate cable box) and plan to use their JVC TV remote control to select channels.  
Once you run the Auto Tuner Setup (which detects and programs all the channels your TV is  
receiving through the RF input), every channel number available from your cable company  
will appear in your television’s Channel Summary and they will all be marked as available for  
scanning. Even though every channel is detected and appears as available, you will only be  
able to view those that you specically subscribe to from your cable company. This will likely  
mean there are blank channels between those channels you wish to scan or “surf”.  
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it is important to note that this is  
not a malfunction of your television. If you want to sequentially scan those channels you  
subscribe to without blank ones in between, you can contact your cable company for their  
cable box and remote.  
Avoiding Ghost Images  
Displaying xed images for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but temporary ghost  
image on your screen. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern.  
Examples include, but are not limited to the following:  
For example...  
• Stock-market report bars  
• Shopping channel logos and pricing  
displays  
TV on  
TV off  
• Video game patterns or scoreboards  
• Bright station logos  
• Internet web sites or other computer-style  
images.  
• DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs  
• Broadcast, cable, satellite channels or  
digital television tuners/converters.

Warnings  
Caring for the Cabinet  
Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.  
If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth, slightly  
moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to help  
remove spots of oily dirt.  
• DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.  
• DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.  
• DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surface.  
• DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.  
Caring for the Screen  
The screen is treated with an electrostatic-proof coating. When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a  
soft cloth. If the screen is very dirty, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in a diluted kitchen cleaner  
and thoroughly wrung-out. Then wipe immediately after with a clean, dry cloth.  
Do not apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the screen.  
These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.  
Do not push or hit the screen. This could cause scratches on the screen surface and image  
distortions.  
Tidying the cables  
A cable holder which keeps your connection cables tidy is attached to the back of the stand.

Warnings  
Disconnecting the stand  
If you disconnect the stand, attach the bottom cover and the screw (supplied) into the hole.  
1) Place the TV face down on a soft cloth on a table.  
2) Remove the four screws from the back of the TV.  
3) Pull out the stand from the TV.  
4) Cover the hole with a bottom cover and tighten the screw.  
Note:  
To re-install the stand, reverse the procedure from 4) to 1).

Quick Setup  
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.  
Note:  
• If you press the MENU button while setting up the interactive plug-in menu, it will skip over it.  
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 or Spanish.

Initial Setup  
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 34 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 categories.

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.  
X – No One under 18  
Inappropriate material for anyone under 18.

Regular - The regular ratio is used when  
you want to watch a 4:3 broadcast or  
recorded program without modifying the  
original picture to fit the dimensions of your  
16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture will fill the  
screen from top to bottom, while black bars

along the picture’s sides. The 4:3 picture  
will be centered within the boundaries of the  
16:9 screen.

center part of a 4:3 aspect picture, blowing  
it up to fill the 16:9 screen.  
Slim - This aspect mode shrinks the  
screen of 16:9 to 4:3. There are some  
programming that is already stretched by  
mistake at broadcasting companies, so  
this mode corrects it. Black side bars will  
appear.  
Full - This is the ratio to use when watching  
16:9 High-Definition broadcasts.

the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to  
eliminate the black side bars.

Troubleshooting  
PROBLEMS  
CHECK  
Static electricity  
• It is normal to feel static electricity if you brush or touch the screen.  
You hear occasional  
crackling sounds  
• It is normal for the TV to make crackling sounds when first turned on or off. Unless  
the sound or picture become abnormal, this is fine.  
It does not operate  
correctly  
• Press the CHANNEL- and VOLUME- buttons on the side panel of the TV simultaneously  
for a few seconds. The Digital Tuner will be reset. If this does not reset it correctly, unplug  
the power cord and plug it back in.  
The following are not malfunctions.  
The television may make a creaking sound if the temperature of the room or the  
temperature of the inside of the television changes. If there is no problem with the screen or  
sound, then there is no need to worry.  
Although the picture may be temporarily disturbed and noise may be seen on the screen if  
the power is turned on immediately after it has been turned off, this is not a malfunction.
