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.

Warnings

Thank you for purchasing JVC’s model HD-61Z576, HD-52G586, HD-52G576 or HD-52G566

HDTV-ready projection television which uses the high-quality HD-ILA projection system. This

is one of the highest quality and most technologically advanced televisions available today. It

is recommended that you read this instruction manual before using your television in order to

learn about it’s many features. Cautions related to the safe use of the device and important

information which will help you to be able to use this device for a long time is in the Appendix.

Once again, thank you for purchasing this television and please enjoy using it.

In order to use the television for a long time

This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Before using this television,

please read the safety cautions and information about this television which are summarized

below.

1. When the power is turned on, the warming up commences

This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Once the lamp has warmed

up, you can enjoy the pictures at their full brightness. What happens when the power is turned

on is explained below. Immediately after the power is turned on, since the lamp has not had

time to warm up, the picture is displayed only dimly on the screen. As the lamp warms up, the

picture becomes brighter. It takes approximately one minute for the lamp to warm up to it’s

normal operating temperature. There are 2 LED indicators on the front panel of the television

that can be used as a guide. When the POWER button is pressed, the Lamp LED indicator

blinks in orange for approximately 1 minute at approximately every 2 seconds, and then goes

out.

Note: It is impossible to turn the power off during this period. After 1 or more minutes have

passed, you can turn off the power.

2. Cooling the inside of the television and the lamp

Cooling is also performed while the television is being shut down.

When the POWER button is pressed to turn off the power, the following operations are

performed. When the television is turned off, the picture on the screen disappears. Once the

screen is dark, cooling is performed for approximately 90 seconds. When the cooling is being

performed, the Lamp LED indicator on the front panel blinks in orange at approximately every

3 seconds. The television can not be operated while the cooling is being performed.

After the cooling has been performed for 90 seconds, the power is turned off. Do not remove

the electrical plug until after the cooling process has completed. If the electrical plug is

removed before the cooling process has completed, the internal circuits and lamp may overheat

leading to the life of the lamp being shortened and the possibility of malfunctions.

Do not block the ventilation holes.

Do not block the ventilation holes while the power is turned on. Do not block the air intake holes

behind the speaker grills.

3. The lamp is a consumable item

Replace the lamp when it has blown or when the picture becomes dark. The lamp is a user

replaceable item. The lamp must be recycled. For a detailed explanation on how to recycle the

lamp, refer to the Appendix and the instructions that are included with the replacement lamp kit.

The life of the lamp changes depending on the atmospheric temperature and altitude in which

the TV is being used.

Warnings

4. The television requires a lot of electrical power

It is recommended that the television is connected directly to the wall socket, and not to another

device. When connecting the television to a wall socket that is being used by another device, or

when using an extension cord, be careful not to exceed the electrical capacity of the socket.

Do not turn the power on and off repeatedly in a short amount of time.

It subjects the television and the lamp to stress and may lead to malfunctions and the life of the

lamp being shortened.

5. The screen is made of plastic

Handle the screen very carefully as it can scratch easily. Do not rub, hit or press on it with any

hard objects. When the screen is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Refer to the Appendix for

details on how to clean the screen.

6. Caution! Warm air from the air ducts

This unit has an air duct for cooling. The duct will blow warm air while the television is operating.

When placing the television, make sure not to locate it too close to wallpaper. The warm air

could cause the color of the wallpaper to change. Also, take care to keep children and pets

away from the warm air ducts. Long exposure to the warm air from the ducts could cause a

minor burn.

7. Caution! Moving this television

When lifting this television, Do not hold by the screen frame. Holding the screen frame could

cause it to detach, causing the television to fall.

8. Do not replace the lamp immediately after use

The lamp becomes extremely hot during use. If the lamp is touched immediately after use

before it has a chance to cool down, there is a danger of burns. Be careful when handling the

lamp.

9. Do not touch the lamp glass

If the lamp is used when there is dirt from ﬁngers on the lamp glass, there is a possibility of the

lamp breaking. Be careful not to touch the lamp glass.

10. ILA element characteristics

Do not project still pictures or pictures that have still segments for a long period of time. The still

parts of the picture may remain on the screen. This is a characteristic of ILA elements and not a

malfunction. The picture will disappear over time.

11. Condensation

When a heater is turned on or the television is moved from a cold place to a hot place, droplets

of water may form on the lamp and screen. This is called condensation. If the television is used

while this condensation is still present, the picture may seem distorted, and the inside of the

screen may become dirty. In this case, wait until the condensation has gone before using the

television.

12. Do not open the rear cabinet of this television

This television has a DIGITAL-IN terminal. Opening up the rear cabinet will violate the copyright

of the program or software shown on the television. Please do not open the rear cabinet.

13. Usable Time

Do not keep the TV on for more than 24 hours consecutively. There is a possibility of the life of

the lamp being shortened.

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 DVD discs 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 37 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.

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.

Changing the Lamp

WARNING!

It is very important that you NEVER TOUCH THE GLASS SURFACE OF THE NEW

LAMP. Touching the glass surface will deposit oils from your hand onto the lamp

surface. When the lamp heats up to its operating temperature, the oil will cause a

difference in temperature on the lamp surface that will likely cause the lamp to break.

Replace the lamp with part number TS-CL110U only! The television is designed

to work specifically with this lamp. Using a different lamp, or a third-party

manufacturer’s lamp could cause a malfunction and or damage to the television.

This television uses a 110-Watt high-pressure mercury lamp to project images onto the

television screen. When the lamp nears the end of its operating life, you may notice the picture

becoming dark. When the picture begins to darken, or the lamp burns out, it is time to replace

the lamp. The following instructions will tell you how to safely replace the lamp.

WARNING!

Under operating conditions, THE LAMP WILL GET EXTREMELY HOT AND WILL

CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF TOUCHED.

Before attempting to replace the lamp, make sure the television has completely run

through its cooling cycle. Turn the power off and wait until the LAMP LED blinks very

slowly and turns off completely. Unplug the TV. If you feel any warmth as you place

your hand near the lamp, DO NOT TOUCH IT. Wait until the lamp has completely

cooled before attempting to replace it. After turning the power off, wait at least 1 hour

or more.

NEVER attempt to replace the lamp with the television plugged into a wall outlet.

Attempting to replace the lamp with the TV plugged in could lead to a severe electrical

shock.

Do not keep the TV on for more than 24 hours consecutively. There is the possibility

of the life of the lamp being shortened.

The life of the lamp changes depending on the atmospheric temperature and altitude

in which the TV is being used.

Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel

unsure about replacing the lamp yourself, call a service technician.

Appendix

How to Replace the Lamp

Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel

unsure about replacing the lamp yourself, call a service technician. Please observe all

safety warnings.

1) Turn off the television.

Press the POWER button on the remote control or TV front panel. Wait until the picture has

closed and the LAMP LED on the front panel has stopped blinking indicating the lamp cool

down is complete.

Warning: The cool-down process cools the lamp from its operating temperature. This

does not mean that the lamp will now be cool enough to handle safely. We strongly

recommend you wait at least one hour before proceeding.

2) Unplug the television.

Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Make sure that the LAMP LED light has stopped

blinking before you unplug the set. Never attempt to replace the lamp with the television

plugged in.

3) Remove the lamp cover.

The lamp is located behind the lamp cover below the left side of the

television. To access the lamp you will need to remove the lamp

cover. First, loosen the screw located on the lamp cover using your

fingers. If the screw is difﬁcult to loosen using your ﬁngers, loosen

by using a coin. Once the screw has been loosened, gently pull the

knob towards you and the panel will come away from the television.

Set it aside.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove the assembly until the lamp has fully cooled. If you

feel any heat near the lamp, STOP and wait until the lamp has FULLY COOLED.

NEVER attempt to remove the lamp with the television plugged into an outlet.

DO NOT DROP the used lamp. The inside of the lamp is under pressure. Dropping or other

hard shock could cause the lamp to shatter.

ALWAYS recycle the used lamp. Because the lamp contains a small amount of mercury, it

cannot be thrown away with regular trash. Follow the recycling instructions included with the

Lamp Replacement Kit.

4) Remove the lamp unit.

Using a Philips head type screwdriver (cross-head type), loosen the two screws fastening the

lamp unit. When the screws have been loosened, remove the lamp by raising the handle and

gently sliding the unit straight towards you. Place it carefully in the recycling packaging.

Appendix

5) Install the new lamp unit.

Holding the handle attached to the new lamp unit, slide and push the new lamp straight into the

television and back into the lamp housing area. Do not forget to re-tighten the two screws.

Note: If the lamp does not sit securely in the TV (flat in the lamp housing area), it won’t turn on.

Make sure the lamp sits securely and flat in the housing area.

WARNING!

Remember it is very important that YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP SURFACE. Please

read the warnings on page 70 again.

Also, replace the lamp with part number TS-CL110U only! The television is designed

to work specifically with this lamp. Lamps other than TS-CL110U may cause

malfunctions and/or other damage to the television.

NOTICE (for USA)

This product has a High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp that

contains a small amount of mercury. It also contains lead in some

components. Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your

community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or

recycling information, please contact your local authorities, or the

Electronics Industries Alliance: http://www.eiae.org

To purchase a replacement lamp kit, please call 1-800-252-5722.

6) Re-install the lamp cover.

Insert the lamp cover in the right concave and close the lamp cover. Because the lamp cover

has a role to help prevent the danger of an electrical shock, tighten the screw using your

fingers.

Note:

• After installing the new lamp unit, do not forget to reset the lamp timer. See page 57.
