The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION • As an “ENERGY STAR®” partner, JVC has determined that this product or product model meets the “ENERGY STAR®” guidelines for energy efficiency. 3 1) Read these instructions. 2) Keep these instructions. 3) Heed all warnings. 4) Follow all instructions. 5) Do not use this apparatus near water. 6) Clean only with dry cloth. 7) Do not block any ventilation openings.

To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern. Examples include, but are not limited to the following: Avoiding Ghost Images XYZ XYZ TV on TV off For example... • Stock-market report bars • Shopping channel logos and pricing displays • 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. 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 specifi cally 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. 6 Warnings Caring for the Cabinet Caring for the Screen 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. 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. 7 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). 8 Table of Contents Important Safety Precautions . . 2 Warnings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 Quick Setup . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 Unpacking your TV . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 TV Models . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 TV Remote Control . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Getting Started . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 The Remote Control . . . . . . . . . . 12 Connecting Your Devices . . . . . . . 13 Interactive Plug In Menu . . . . . . . . 21 Onscreen Menus . . . . . . . . . 24 Using the Guide . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 Onscreen Menu System . . . . . . . . . 25 Initial Setup . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 Noise Muting . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 Language . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 Front Panel Lock . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 V-Chip . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29 Set Lock Code . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35 Closed Caption . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36 Auto Shut Off . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 Software Version . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 Power Indicator . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 Quick Startup . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 39 Auto Tuner Setup . . . . . . . . . . . . 40 Channel Summary . . . . . . . . . . . . 41 Channel Label . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 Find Channel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 43 Digital Antenna Level . . . . . . . . . . 43 HDMI Size . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 44 Video-1 Audio . . . . . . . . . . . . . 44 Video Input Label . . . . . . . . . . . 45 Picture Adjust . . . . . . . . . . . . . 46 Picture Settings . . . . . . . . . . . . . 46 Color Temperature . . . . . . . . . . . . 46 Color Management . . . . . . . . . . . . 47 Dynamic Gamma . . . . . . . . . . . . . 47 Noise Reduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 47 Natural Cinema . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 Position Adjustment . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 Reset . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 49 Sound Adjust . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 Sound Settings . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 Optical Out . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 Turn On Volume . . . . . . . . . . . . . 51 Volume Limit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 51 Reset . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 51 Clock/Timers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 Set Clock . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 On/Off Timer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 53 Photo Viewer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54 Auto Demo . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 56 Button Functions . . . . . . . . . . 57 Power . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 57 Number Buttons . . . . . . . . . . . . . 57 Tune . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 57 Input . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 57 Channel +/- . . . . . . . . . . . . . 57 Volume +/- . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58 Return+/TV . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58 Sound . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58 Muting . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58 Video Status . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 59 Sleep Timer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 59 Display . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60 C.C. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60 Aspect . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 61 Aspect Ratios . . . . . . . . . . . . . 61 Menu . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 62 OK . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 62 Back . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 62 ML/MTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 63 Sub Channel . . . . . . . . . . . . . 63 Favorite . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 64 Guide . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 64 OSD Information . . . . . . . . . . 65 Weak Signal . . . . . . . . . . . . . 65 Audio/Data Only Channel . . . . . . . 65 Troubleshooting . . . . . . . . . . 66 Specifications . . . . . . . . . . 68 Warranty . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70 Authorized Service Center . . . 71 9 Two AA Batteries 1 Television 1 Remote Control Quick Setup Thank you for your purchase of a JVC LCD Flat Television.
