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.
And 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 oper-
ating 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 require-
ments for the grounding electrode.
IMPORTANT RECYCLING INFORMATION
This product utilizes both a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and other com-
ponents that contain lead. Disposal of these materials may be regu-
lated in your community due to environmental considerations. For
disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authori-
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 open-
ings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or elec-
trical 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 addi-
tions may result in a hazard.

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 quali-
fied 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 person-
nel.
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 1
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. This information includes basic instructions
on operating your remote control, making a simple cable/antenna and optional VCR connection
and, finally, information on programming your television's Auto Tuner.
If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult
other sections of this manual.
Step One - The Remote Control
The remote control is the key to operating your television's many great features. Before you
can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).
For RM-C255, RM-C253 and RM-C252, lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote to
open. For RM-C205, raise the latch on the remote’s back cover to remove. Insert two batteries
(included) carefully noting the “+” and “–” markings, placing the “–” end in the unit first. Snap
the cover back into place.
RM-C255, RM-C253 and RM-C252
RM-C205 ONLY
Basic Operation
POWER
Turn the television on and off by pressing the POWER button at the top right corner of
the remote.
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 an back through the available chan-
nels. The right and left buttons will turn the volume up or down.
These buttons are also marked with four arrows and are also
used with JVC's onscreen menu system. You will need to use
these buttons later in the Quick Setup.
The next step is to connect your television to an antenna or
cable.

Step Three - The Plug In Menu
When you turn your television on for the first time the Plug In Menu will appear. This menu sets
some of the basic settings for your television. A complete description of the Plug In Menu can
be found starting on page 25. We recommend you complete the Plug In Menu items before you
start using your television. But to begin watching your television right away you only need to
run the Auto Tuner Setup. This lets your television learn the channels it is able to receive. To
run the Auto Tuner Setup follow the steps below.

Cable and VCR Connections
There are three basic types of antenna or cable connections:
• If you have an antenna or have a cable system that does not require you use a cable box
to select channels, please refer to Diagram #1.
• If you have a cable system that requires the use of a cable box to access all the channels,
please refer to Diagram #2.
• If you have a cable system that requires the use of a cable box to access certain premium
channels, but not “basic” cable channels, please refer to Diagram #3.
• For your convenience, connection to a VCR is also shown in the following diagrams. A
VCR is not necessary for operation of the television. You may omit the VCR from your
connections if you wish.

Remote Control
Remote Control Basics
• Before you can operate the remote control, you must first
install the batteries (included). See “Changing the Batteries”
at the bottom of this page for instructions. (For an illustra-
tion, please see page 11.)
• Press the POWER button to turn the television on or off.
• Make sure the TV/CATV switch is set to TV. Move the switch
to CATV only if you need to operate a cable box. (Except for
RM-C205).
• Slide the VCR/DVD selector switch to VCR to control a
VCR, slide to DVD to control a DVD player. Please see
pages 20 to 22 for instructions on programming your remote
control to
operate a Cable box, VCR or DVD player. (Except for
RM-C205).
• Press the CH+ and CH- buttons to scan through the chan-
nels. Tap the CH+ or CH- button to move through the chan-
nels one channel at a time.
• To move rapidly through the channels using JVC’s
Hyperscan feature, press and hold CH+ or CH-. The chan-
nels will zip by at a rate of five channels per second.
• Press VOL+ or VOL - to raise or lower the volume. An indica-
tor bar will appear onscreen to show you the television vol-
ume level.
• The CH+/- and VOL+/- buttons are also used to navigate
JVC’s onscreen menu system.
• You can directly access specific channels using the 10-key
pad.
• For more information on remote control button features, see
pages 43 to 46. For information on using the onscreen
menus, see page 23.
Notes: Remote control model RM-C252 is shown at the left.
A different model remote control may have come with your
television.
Changing the Batteries
For RM-C255, RM-C253 and RM-C252, lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote to
open. For RM-C205, Raise the latch on the remote’s back cover to remove.
Insert two AA batteries (supplied), carefully noting the "+" and "-" markings on the batteries and
on the remote control. To avoid a potential short circuit, insert the "-" end first. Be sure to use
only size AA batteries. When batteries are installed, snap the cover back into place (until it
clicks into position).
• If the remote control acts erratically, replace the batteries. Typical battery life is six months to
one year. We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.
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 may have to be reset, except for RM-C205 (see page 20-22).

Movie 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 chil-
dren'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.
