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 requirements for the grounding electrode.
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
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.
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.

AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
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 adjust-
ment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the TV set to normal operation.
8 TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet
to allow heat generated during operation to be released.
Therefore:
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.
— 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.
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.
— Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.
— Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat registe.r
9 To avoid personal injury:
17 When replacement parts are required, have the service tech-
nician 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 pre-
vent fire, shock, or other hazards.
— Donot placea TVset 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 thresh-
olds or deep pile carpets.
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.
— Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by
the manufacturer.
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
service technician to dispose of the TV set.
USE
10 Caution children about dropping or pushing objectsinto the TV set
through cabinet openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous
voltages and contact can result in a fire or electrical shock.
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.
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

CONNECTIONS CHECKLIST - READ ME FIRST
The Connections Checklist section of this guide is a list of ideas to keep in mind while you
setup your new TV. It is designed to help us not-so-technically-minded individuals make our
connections properly. If you read this section and still can’t identify the plugs, connectors and
components you have, please ask someone for help in making your connections.
1) Always refer to the connection instructions in the
user’s guide for your components first. The
manufacturer will provide the most detailed
information about their products.
2) Know your jacks and plugs - most are color coded:
A/V Input Plug
• Yellow plugs are Video connections
• Red plugs are Right Audio connections
• White (or black) plugs are Left Audio (or Mono)
connections. If your VCR is mono-sound, it will have
only a white or black plug, no second red one).
3) Perform one connection at a time. If you have
RF Connectors
several accessories to connect, make sure each
connection is correct by checking to see that it works
properly before trying the next connection.
4) Unplug the power cord during each connection.
5) Follow the In and Out Concept. Remember In and
Out - the Output jack from one device will go to the
Input jack of the other. Read the jack panels, they are
all labeled.
S-Video Plug
6) The AV Compu Link Cable is supplied with certain
JVC devices. If you have a JVC Compu Link VCR or
other piece of equipment, but don’t have an AV
Compu Link cable, contact your local JVC dealer.

Changing the Batteries
Be sure to use only size AA batteries.
Push down on the remotes’ back cover and
slide towards the bottom to remove it.
1
Insert two AA batteries (supplied), carefully
noting the "+" and "-" markings on the
2
batteries and on the remote control. To avoid
a potential short circuit, insert the "-" end first.
When batteries are installed, slide the cover
back into place (until it clicks into position).
3
• 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
and/or Cable Box may have to be reset (page 12-13).

guidelines. Programs which exceed the ratings limits
you set will be blocked.
❒ TVY is Appropriate for All Children.
Programs are created for very young viewers
and should be suitable for all ages, including
children ages 2 - 6.
When a viewer attempts to watch a blocked channel,
this message appears:
❒ TV Y7 is for Older Children.
Most parents would find such programs
suitable for children 7 and above. They may
contain some mild fantasy violence or
comedic violence, which children should be
able to discern from reality.
Programs with the following Ratings
are designed for the entire audience.
To watch a blocked channel, enter the lock code
(page 14) using the 10 key pad.
❒ TV G stands for General Audience.
Most parents would find these programs
suitable for all age groups. They contain little
or no violence, no strong language, and little
or no sexual dialog or situations.
❒ TV PG Parental Guidance Suggested.
May contain some, but not much, strong
language, limited violence, and some
suggestive sexual dialog or situations. It is
recommended that parents watch these
programs first, or with their children.
❒ TV 14 Parents Strongly Cautioned.
Programs contain some material that may be
unsuitable for children under the age of 14
including possible intense violence, sexual
situations, strong coarse language, or
intensely suggestive dialog. Parents are
cautioned against unattended viewing by
children under 14.
❒ TV MA Mature Audiences Only.
