Warnings  
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 specically 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.  
Avoiding Ghost Images  
Displaying xed images for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but temporary ghost  
image on your screen. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern.  
Examples include, but are not limited to the following:  
For example...  
• Stock-market report bars  
• Shopping channel logos and pricing  
displays  
TV on  
TV off  
• 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

Warnings  
Caring for the Cabinet  
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.  
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.  
Tidying the cables  
A cable holder which keeps your connection cables tidy is attached to the back of the stand.  
Note:  
• This illustration is for models LT-37X688, LT-42X688, LT-37XM48 and LT-42XM48. The rear  
panel for models LT-42X788 and LT-47X788 are slightly different in shape.

If you disconnect the stand, attach the bottom cover and the screw (supplied) into the hole.  
This illustration is for models LT-37X688, LT-42X688, LT-37XM48 and LT-42XM48. You can  
disconnect the stand for models LT-42X788 and LT-47X788 using the same method.  
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.

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).  
Raise the latch on the remote's back cover to remove.  
Insert two batteries, carefully noting the "+" and "–"  
markings. Place 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 (ex. VCR,  
DVD) may have to be reset. See pages 67 - 72.  
POWER  
Basic Operation  
Turn the television on and off by pressing the POWER button at the top right corner  
of the remote. If this is the first time you are turning on the TV, the interactive  
plug-in menu appears.  
• At first, to watch your TV, select the TV mode by pressing the MODE button on  
the remote control before you turn the TV power on.  
• See page 58 to 66 for details regarding the remote control buttons.  
Using Menu Buttons  
To use the menu functions, press the MENU button. Next,  
select a menu using the four arrow keys. The four arrow keys  
are used only for menu selections.

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.  
• Be careful not to confuse the red DVD cable with the red audio cable. It is best to complete  
one set of connections (DVD or audio output) before starting the other to avoid accidentally  
switching the cables.  
You may also connect the DVD player to Input 1.

with a DTV decoder.  
Notes:  
• If 480p signals (640x480 or 720x480) are displayed on the screen, the horizontal balance  
may be slightly shifted. Access the “HDMI Size” in the External Input menu to adjust it. (Refer  
to page 45.)  
• When you do the above connection, set "Video-1 Audio" in the External Input menu to  
"Analog". See "Video-1 Audio", page 45.  
• The Analog Audio input can only be used with the HDMI INPUT-1.  
• When setting the “Video-1 Audio - Analog/Digital” menu setting on the TV, please note that  
this setting only effects the HDMI INPUT-1 jack and that if you use a DVI to HDMI adapter this  
connection must be made to the HDMI INPUT-1 along with analog audio cables.

Quick Setup  
Connecting to an HDMI Compatible Device  
By connecting an HDMI compatible device, high definition pictures can be displayed on your  
TV in their digital form. Some HDMI devices can include DVD players, D-VHS or any HDMI  
compatible device.  
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry supported, uncompressed, all  
digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source,  
such as a set-top box, DVD player, A/V receiver or an audio and/or video monitor, such as a  
digital television (DTV).

the HDMI INPUT-1 on the back of the TV.  
Notes:  
• When you do the above connection, set "Video-1 Audio" in the External Input menu to Digital.  
See "Video-1 Audio", page 45.  
• Some decoders may not respond depending on the equipment that is connected to the HDMI.  
• If the HDMI output device signal is changed (for example, 480i/60Hz is changed to  
480p/60Hz), the screen may turn green and there may be some distortion for a short time  
until the signal becomes stable.  
• This TV can accept 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p signals via HDMI.

• Use your AV Receiver's remote to switch to the different devices you have connected.  
• Some AV Receivers may not respond when the V3 Smart Input function is turned on.  
• If you have video connections for each input device connected to your AV Receiver, you  
should not connect them using both S-Video and Composite connection at the same time  
when you are using V3 Input as the V3 Smart Input. In this case we recommend using the  
S-Video connection.

Quick Setup  
Step 3 – The Interactive Plug-in Menu  
When you turn your television on for the first time the interactive plug-in menu will appear. The  
plug-in menu helps you to get your TV ready to use by letting you set your preferences for:  
• The language in which you want the onscreen menus to appear.  
• Setting the TV’s clock to the correct time so your timer functions will work properly. You can  
choose “Auto” or “Manual” for setting the clock.  
• The auto tuner setup of which channels you wish to receive.  
We recommend you complete the interactive plug-in items before you start using your  
television. After the first time you turn on your TV, you can access the Interactive Plug-In Menu  
from the main menu. See page 28.  
Note:  
• If you press the MENU button while setting up the interactive plug-in menu, it will skip over it.  
Language  
After the “JVC Interactive Plug-in Menu” has been displayed, the TV automatically switches  
to the "Language" settings. You can choose to view your onscreen menus in three languages:  
English, French or Spanish.

Notes:  
You can choose Scan Mode only when Tuner Mode is Cable.  
• If you want to cancel the Auto Tuner Setup, press the MENU button.  
• Noise muting will not work during Auto Tuner Setup.  
• If you choose "Skip", it finished without doing the Auto Tuner Setup.  
Cable Users: After your auto tuner setup is complete, you may, (depending on the type of  
hookup), have only 1 channel, usually 3 or 4 in the auto tuner memory. This is normal.

Initial Setup  
V-Chip  
Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which enables you to block channels or content  
that you feel to be inappropriate for children, based on US and Canada rating guidelines.  
V-Chip has no effect on video signals from a DVD discs, VCR tapes or Camcorder connection.  
Note: Some programs, and movies are broadcast without a ratings signal. Even if you set up  
V-Chip ratings limits, these programs will not be blocked. See page 35 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 or all of the settings (US V-Chip, Canada V-Chip, Movie ratings). Descriptions for setting  
each of the three V-Chip formats appear in the next six pages along with descriptions of the  
rating categories.  
To access the rating categories:

Movies Ratings  
NR – Not Rated  
This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries  
which do not use the MPAA ratings system. Other NR films may be from amateur producers  
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.  
NC-17 – No One Under 17  
These movies contain content which most parents would feel is too adult for their children  
to view. Content can consist of strong language, nudity, violence, and suggestive or explicit  
subject matter.  
X – No One under 18  
Inappropriate material for anyone under 18.

Aspect  
This feature will help you adjust the picture you are watching to give you the best possible  
picture quality.  
Aspect Ratios  
Panorama - With this ratio a normal  
4:3 aspect picture is stretched to fit the  
dimensions of the 16:9 aspect screen.  
Regular - The regular ratio is used when  
you want to watch a 4:3 broadcast or  
recorded program without modifying the  
original picture to fit the dimensions of your  
16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture will fill the  
screen from top to bottom, while black bars  
will appear to fill up the remaining space  
along the picture’s sides. The 4:3 picture  
will be centered within the boundaries of the  
16:9 screen.  
Cinema - This ratio “zooms in” on the  
center part of a 4:3 aspect picture, blowing  
it up to fill the 16:9 screen.  
Slim - This aspect mode shrinks the  
screen of 16:9 to 4:3. There are some  
programming that is already stretched by  
mistake at broadcasting companies, so  
this mode corrects it. Black side bars will  
appear.  
Full - This is the ratio to use when watching  
16:9 High-Definition broadcasts.  
Panorama Zoom - This ratio stretches  
the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to  
eliminate the black side bars.  
Full Native - This ratio displays 100% of the  
ratio. Normally, all aspects except for Full  
Native display about 95%.  
Cinema Zoom - This ratio stretches the  
High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to  
eliminate the black surrounding bars.

the menu screen  
• This occurs when you select a digital menu when your input source is from the HDMI  
connection. Press the menu button.  
The following are not malfunctions.  
The television may make a creaking sound if the temperature of the room or the  
temperature of the inside of the television changes. If there is no problem with the screen or  
sound, then there is no need to worry.  
Although the picture may be temporarily disturbed and noise may be seen on the screen if  
the power is turned on immediately after it has been turned off, this is not a malfunction.
