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. 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 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.

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.

��

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 openings. Some

internal parts carry hazardous 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.

PORTABLE CART WARNING (Symbol provided by RETAC)

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 qualified 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 personnel.

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

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.

If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult

other sections of this manual.

Step 1 – The Remote Control

Before you can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).

Lift and pull the latch on the back of the

remote control to open. Insert two batteries

(included) carefully noting the “+” and “–”

markings, placing the “–” end in the unit first.

Snap the cover back into place.

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/satellite receiver

may have to be reset. See pages 18 - 20.

Key Feature Buttons

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 and back

through the available channels. To move rapidly through

the channels using JVC’s Hyperscan feature, press

and hold CH+ or CH–. The channels will zip by at a

rate of five channels per second. The right and left

buttons will turn the volume up or down. These buttons

are also marked with four arrows and are used with

JVC’s onscreen menu system. To use the onscreen

menus, press the MENU button.

Notes:

• Green, blue and red are the most common colors for DVD cables. Some models may vary

colors. Please consult the user’s manual for your DVD player for more information.

up V-CHIP ratings limits, these programs will not be blocked. See page 26 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

Movies Ratings

 NR – Not Rated

This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries

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.
