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.  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING  
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

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

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.

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.

U.S. PARENTAL RATING SYSTEMS  
Programs with the following Ratings  
are appropriate for Children.  
V-Chip  
Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which  
enables TV Parental Guideline and Movie (MPAA)  
Guideline controls. V-Chip technology allows you to  
program your TV to receive, or not to receive,  
programs based on content according to the  
guidelines. Programs which exceed the ratings limits  
you set will be blocked.

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.  
These programs are specifically for adults  
and may be unsuitable for anyone under 17
