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 electri- cal 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. 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. WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS TV SET TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. CAUTION: TO INSURE PERSONAL SAFETY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RULES REGARDING THE USE OF THIS UNIT. 1. Operate only from the power source speci- fied on the unit. 2. Avoid damaging the AC plug and power cord . 3. Avoid Improper installation and never posi- tion the unit where good ventilation is unat- tainable. 4. Do not allow objects or liquid into the cabi- net openings. 5. In the event of trouble, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover. Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the warranty. * When you don’t use this TV set for a long period of time, be sure to disconnect both the power plug from the AC outlet and antenna for your safety. * To prevent electric shock do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, recepta- cle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN C AU T I O N :To reduce the risk of electric shock . Do not remove cover (or back ) . No user serv i c e a ble parts inside. R e fer servicing to qualified service pers o n n e l . The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dan- gerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to consti- tute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral tri- angle is intended to alert the user to the pres- ence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accom- panying the appliance. CAUTION (POLARIZED-TYPE) IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 6 If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some pro t e c t i o n against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with re s p e c t to proper grounding of the mast and supporting stru c t u re , g rounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection re q u i rements for the grounding electro d e . 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. 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 re g i s t e r. 9 To avoid personal injury: — Do not place a TVset on a sloping shelf unless properly secure d . — Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV s e t m a n u f a c t u re r. — Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresh- olds 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 t h rough cabinet openings. Some internal parts carry hazard o u s 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 . 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 peri- od of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning s t o rms or power line surg e s . 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 overt u rn . 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 c o v e red in the operating instructions as improper adjust- ment of other controls may result in damage and will often re q u i re extensive work by a qualified technician to re s t o re 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 perform- ance — this indicates a need for service. 1 6 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- n e l . 17 When replacement parts are re q u i red, have the service tech- nician verify in writing that the replacement parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the original part s . Use of manufacture r’s specified replacement parts can pre- vent fire, shock, or other hazard s . 18 Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV s e t , please ask the service technician to perf o rm the safety check described in the manufacture r’s service literature . 19 When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper dis- posal could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified s e rvice 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 pro- vides 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.

Unfortunately, while many programs are originally broadcast in stereo, some cable companies may “squash” the transmission to mono sound because they have only mono equipment. If you are connected to a cable system, the sound quality is determined by the cable company. If they broadcast only in mono, you will receive only mono sound, even if the program was aired in stereo. Fortunately, most stereo programs are broadcast by the major television networks. If you connect an antenna to your TV instead of cable and set the tuner mode in Auto Tuner Setup to “Air” instead of “Cable” you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in their original stereo format.
