Caring for the frame and stand
Your TV has a glossy frame and stand which have protection sheets attached to them. Peel
them off before use, but only after the TV has been properly placed. Take care with handling
the glossy frame and stand because these surfaces are delicate.
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.
Frame
Stand
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.

is normal.
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 specifically 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, or manually deselect them using the edit / skip feature on page 33.

Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below to check the condition. If you think that there is a problem, contact the

• Check for a blown fuse or circuit breaker or a power outage.
There is no picture or sound
• The antenna could be disconnected.
• The tuner could be set improperly. See page 44.
• The TV station may be having difficulties. Check to see if other stations are working.
• Use the HDMI cable with HDMI logo.
• If you have a device connected to INPUT-1, INPUT-2 or INPUT-3, you will not be able to
hear any audio from the AUDIO OUT on the back of the TV.
• You cannot output audio using the DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL OUT when you have digital
sound from an HDMI device connected to the INPUT-1, INPUT-2 or INPUT-3 connection on
the back of the TV.
• This TV can accept 480i (Composite / S / HDMI / Component), 480p, 720p, 1080i and
1080p signals. Please check your settings.
Remote control is not operating properly or at all
• Check to see that the batteries are still working and properly installed.
• Make sure the remote has a clear sight path to the TV.
• You may be too far from the TV. You must be within 23 feet (7 meters).
The power turns off by itself
• Make sure the set did not become unplugged.
• Perhaps the Auto Shut Off is set. See page 41.
• Check to see if the Sleep Timer was set. See page 19.
It does not operate correctly
• This television is operated by a microprocessor. It is possible that external noise or
interference is causing the problem. If the television does not function correctly, remove
the electrical plug from the wall outlet and wait a while before inserting it into the wall outlet
again and operating the television.
The color quality is poor
• Tint and Color may be improperly adjusted. See page 26.
• The Video Status mode may be turned to the wrong setting. See page 26.
There are lines across the picture
• There could be interference from another electrical appliance, such as a computer, another
TV or VCR. Move any such appliances further away from the TV.
The picture is spotted
• There could be interference from a high-wattage appliance, like a hairdryer or vacuum,
operating nearby. Move the antenna away from the appliance or change to a coaxial cable
connection which is less prone to interference.
There are double pictures (ghosts)
• A building or passing airplane can reflect the original signal and produce a second, slightly
delayed one. Adjust your antenna position.

Digital Television Transition Notice:
This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV
programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the
United States on February 17, 2009.
Some older television receivers, if they rely on a TV antenna, will need a TV Converter to receive
over the air digital programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g.,
for watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies,
or playing video games).
