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.

Warnings  
Thank you for purchasing a JVC HDTV-ready projection television which uses the high-quality  
HD-ILA projection system. This is one of the highest quality and most technologically advanced  
televisions available today. It is recommended that you read this instruction manual before using  
your television in order to learn about it’s many features. Cautions related to the safe use of the  
device and important information which will help you to be able to use this device for a long time  
is in the Appendix. Once again, thank you for purchasing this television and please enjoy using  
it.  
In order to use the television for a long time  
This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Before using this television,  
please read the safety cautions and information about this television which are summarized  
below.  
1. When the power is turned on, the warming up commences  
This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Once the lamp has warmed  
up, you can enjoy the pictures at their full brightness. What happens when the power is turned  
on is explained below. Immediately after the power is turned on, since the lamp has not had  
time to warm up, the picture is displayed only dimly on the screen. As the lamp warms up, the  
picture becomes brighter. It takes approximately one minute for the lamp to warm up to it’s  
normal operating temperature. There are 2 LED indicators on the front panel of the television  
that can be used as a guide. When the POWER button is pressed, the LAMP/PROGRAM LED  
indicator blinks in orange for approximately 1 minute at approximately every 2 seconds, and then  
goes out.  
Note: It is impossible to turn the power off during this period. After 1 or more minutes have  
passed, you can turn off the power.  
2. Cooling the inside of the television and the lamp  
Cooling is also performed while the television is being shut down.  
When the POWER button is pressed to turn off the power, the following operations are  
performed. When the television is turned off, the picture on the screen disappears. Once  
the screen is dark, cooling is performed for approximately 1 minute. When the cooling is  
being performed, the LAMP/PROGRAM LED indicator on the front panel blinks in orange at  
approximately every 3 seconds. The television can not be operated while the cooling is  
being performed. After the cooling has been performed for 1 minute, the power is turned  
off. Do not remove the electrical plug until after the cooling process has completed. If  
the electrical plug is removed before the cooling process has completed, the internal circuits  
and lamp may overheat leading to the life of the lamp being shortened and the possibility of  
malfunctions.  
Do not block the ventilation holes.  
Do not block the ventilation holes while the power is turned on. Do not block the air intake holes  
behind the speaker grills.  
3. The lamp is a consumable item  
Replace the lamp when it has blown or when the picture becomes dark. The lamp is a user  
replaceable item. The lamp must be recycled. For a detailed explanation on how to recycle the  
lamp, refer to the Appendix and the instructions that are included with the replacement lamp kit.  
The life of the lamp changes depending on the atmospheric temperature and altitude in which  
the TV is being used.

Warnings  
4. The television requires a lot of electrical power  
It is recommended that the television is connected directly to the wall socket, and not to another  
device. When connecting the television to a wall socket that is being used by another device, or  
when using an extension cord, be careful not to exceed the electrical capacity of the socket.  
Do not turn the power on and off repeatedly in a short amount of time.  
It subjects the television and the lamp to stress and may lead to malfunctions and the life of the  
lamp being shortened.  
5. The screen is made of plastic  
Handle the screen very carefully as it can scratch easily. Do not rub, hit or press on it with any  
hard objects. When the screen is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Refer to the Appendix for  
details on how to clean the screen.  
6. Caution! Warm air from the air ducts  
This unit has an air duct for cooling. The duct will blow warm air while the television is operating.  
When placing the television, make sure not to locate it too close to wallpaper. The warm air  
could cause the color of the wallpaper to change. Also, take care to keep children and pets  
away from the warm air ducts. Long exposure to the warm air from the ducts could cause a  
minor burn.  
7. Caution! Moving this television  
When lifting this television, Do not hold by the screen frame. Holding the screen frame could  
cause it to detach, causing the television to fall.  
8. Do not replace the lamp immediately after use  
The lamp becomes extremely hot during use. If the lamp is touched immediately after use  
before it has a chance to cool down, there is a danger of burns. Be careful when handling the  
lamp.  
9. Do not touch the lamp glass  
If the lamp is used when there is dirt from ngers on the lamp glass, there is a possibility of the  
lamp breaking. Be careful not to touch the lamp glass.  
10. ILA element characteristics  
Do not project still pictures or pictures that have still segments for a long period of time. The still  
parts of the picture may remain on the screen. This is a characteristic of ILA elements and not a  
malfunction. The picture will disappear over time.  
11. Condensation  
When a heater is turned on or the television is moved from a cold place to a hot place, droplets  
of water may form on the lamp and screen. This is called condensation. If the television is used  
while this condensation is still present, the picture may seem distorted, and the inside of the  
screen may become dirty. In this case, wait until the condensation has gone before using the  
television.  
12. Do not open the rear cabinet of this television  
This television has a DIGITAL-IN terminal. Opening up the rear cabinet will violate the copyright  
of the program or software shown on the television. Please do not open the rear cabinet.  
13. Usable Time  
Do not keep the TV on for more than 24 hours consecutively. There is a possibility of the life of  
the lamp being shortened.

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 DVD discs 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 41 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.

Aspect  
This feature will help you adjust the picture you are watching to give you the best possible  
picture quality.  
Aspect Ratios  
PANORAMA - With this ratio a normal  
4:3 aspect picture is stretched to fit the  
dimensions of the 16:9 aspect screen.  
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  
will appear to fill up the remaining space  
along the picture’s sides. The 4:3 picture  
will be centered within the boundaries of the  
16:9 screen.  
CINEMA - This ratio “zooms in” on the  
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.  
PANORAMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches  
the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to  
eliminate the black side bars.

surface. When the lamp heats up to its operating temperature, the oil will cause a  
difference in temperature on the lamp surface that will likely cause the lamp to break.  
Replace the lamp with part number TS-CL110U only! The television is designed  
to work specifically with this lamp. Using a different lamp, or a third-party  
manufacturer’s lamp could cause a malfunction and or damage to the television.  
This television uses a 110-Watt high-pressure mercury lamp to project images onto the  
television screen. When the lamp nears the end of its operating life, you may notice the picture  
becoming dark. When the picture begins to darken, or the lamp burns out, it is time to replace  
the lamp. The following instructions will tell you how to safely replace the lamp.  
WARNING!  
Under operating conditions, THE LAMP WILL GET EXTREMELY HOT AND WILL  
CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF TOUCHED.  
Before attempting to replace the lamp, make sure the television has completely run  
through its cooling cycle. Turn the power off and wait until the LAMP/PROGRAM LED  
blinks very slowly and turns off completely. Unplug the TV. If you feel any warmth  
as you place your hand near the lamp, DO NOT TOUCH IT. Wait until the lamp has  
completely cooled before attempting to replace it. After turning the power off, wait at  
least 1 hour or more.  
NEVER attempt to replace the lamp with the television plugged into a wall outlet.  
Attempting to replace the lamp with the TV plugged in could lead to a severe electrical  
shock.  
Do not keep the TV on for more than 24 hours consecutively. There is the possibility  
of the life of the lamp being shortened.  
The life of the lamp changes depending on the atmospheric temperature and altitude  
in which the TV is being used.  
Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel  
unsure about replacing the lamp yourself, call a service technician.

How to Replace the Lamp  
Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel  
unsure about replacing the lamp yourself, call a service technician. Please observe all  
safety warnings.  
1) Turn off the television.  
Press the POWER button on the remote control or TV front panel. Wait until the picture has  
closed and the LAMP LED on the front panel has stopped blinking indicating the lamp cool  
down is complete.  
Warning: The cool-down process cools the lamp from its operating temperature. This  
does not mean that the lamp will now be cool enough to handle safely. We strongly  
recommend you wait at least one hour before proceeding.  
2) Unplug the television.  
Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Make sure that the LAMP LED light has stopped  
blinking before you unplug the set. Never attempt to replace the lamp with the television  
plugged in.  
3) Remove the lamp cover.  
The lamp is located behind the lamp cover below the left side of the  
television. To access the lamp you will need to remove the lamp cover.  
First, remove the screw located on the lamp cover using a Philips head  
type screwdriver (cross-head type). Once the screw has been removed,  
gently pull the knob towards you and the panel will come away from the  
television. Set it aside.  
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove the assembly until the lamp has fully cooled. If you  
feel any heat near the lamp, STOP and wait until the lamp has FULLY COOLED.  
NEVER attempt to remove the lamp with the television plugged into an outlet.  
DO NOT DROP the used lamp. The inside of the lamp is under pressure. Dropping or other  
hard shock could cause the lamp to shatter.  
ALWAYS recycle the used lamp. Because the lamp contains a small amount of mercury, it  
cannot be thrown away with regular trash. Follow the recycling instructions included with the  
Lamp Replacement Kit.

4) Remove the lamp unit.  
Using a Philips head type screwdriver (cross-head type), loosen the two screws fastening the  
lamp unit. When the screws have been loosened, remove the lamp by raising the handle and  
gently sliding the unit straight towards you. Place it carefully in the recycling packaging.  
5) Install the new lamp unit.  
Holding the handle attached to the new lamp unit, slide and push the new lamp straight into the  
television and back into the lamp housing area. Do not forget to re-tighten the two screws.  
Note: If the lamp does not sit securely in the TV (flat in the lamp housing area), it won’t turn on.  
Make sure the lamp sits securely and flat in the housing area.  
WARNING!  
Remember it is very important that YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP SURFACE. Please  
read the warnings on page 85 again.  
Also, replace the lamp with part number TS-CL110U only! The television is designed  
to work specifically with this lamp. Lamps other than TS-CL110U may cause  
malfunctions and/or other damage to the television.  
NOTICE (for USA)

has a role to help prevent the danger of an electrical shock, tighten the screw using your  
fingers.  
Note:  
• After installing the new lamp unit, do not forget to reset the lamp timer. See page 65.
