• the VCR must be connected to the EXT-2 terminal on the TV by a fully wired
SCART cable.
■ T-V LINK compatible VCRs:
In addition to all JVC VCRs that have the T-V LINK logo, any VCR that has one of
the following logos are available for use:
Note:
• Not all VCRs support this type of
data communication. Some may
support certain features and not
support others. For complete
details, refer to the VCR Instruc-
tion Manual.
“Q-LINK” (a trademark of Panasonic Corporation)
“Data Logic” (a trademark of Metz Corporation)
“Easy Link” (a trademark of Phillips Corporation)
“Megalogic” (a trademark of Grundig Corporation)

• These VCRs may support some or all of the features described above. For de-
tails, refer to the VCR Instruction Manual.
■ When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed:

load was not performed correctly. Confirm the following before re-executing down-
load:
• that the VCR power is turned on.
• that the VCR is T-V LINK compatible.
• that the VCR is connected to the EXT-2 terminal.
• that the SCART cable is fully wired.
■ Operating Precautions for DIRECT REC:
• Generally, the VCR cannot record a channel that cannot be received properly by
the VCR’s tuner even though that channel could be viewed on the TV.
• In the following conditions, the VCR will stop recording if the TV is turned off, if
the TV channel or input is switched, or if the menu is displayed on the TV:
– When recording images from an external device connected to the EXT-1,
EXT-3 or EXT-4 terminal.
– When recording a channel after it has been unscrambled on a decoder.
– When recording a channel by using the TV’s output because that channel can-
not be properly received on the VCR’s tuner.
Note:
• Some VCRs can record a chan-
nel by using the TV’s output if
that channel can be viewed on
the TV, even though the channel
cannot be received properly by
the VCR’s tuner.
For details, refer to the VCR In-
struction Manual.

When viewing a picture which contains a lot of noise,
the picture noise may become less noticeable by

the DigiPure setting from AUTO to MAX. However,
since using the edge compensation at maximum may
have the reverse effect of amplifying the noise, MAX is
not suitable for a picture which contains a lot of noise.
Digital VNR
The Digital VNR function is a function to reduce the noise
which is currently included in the picture. However, if the Dig-

Troubleshooting
The following are normal and are NOT malfunctions:
• When touching the picture tube surface, you might feel a slight charge of static electricity. This is because the picture tube
contains static electricity; it does not affect the human body.
• The TV may emit a crackling sound due to a sudden change in temperature. There is no problem unless the picture or sound
is abnormal.
• When a still, bright image (of a white dress, for example) appears on the screen, the image may be coloured. This problem
occurs in all picture tubes, and as the bright image disappears, the colour also disappears.
• This TV is equipped with a microcomputer that may operate abnormally due to interference from external components. If this
happens, turn off the main power and disconnect the power cord from the AC socket. Then reconnect the power cord to the
AC socket and turn on the main power again.
• It takes a short period of time from the time an operation such as changing channels is performed until an image is displayed.
This is not a malfunction. This is the time required for the image to stabilize before it can be displayed.
• When viewing images from commercially available video software products, or videos from videotapes which have been re-
corded improperly, the top of the image may be distorted. This is due to the condition of the video signal, and not because of
malfunction.
