IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
CAUTION:  
Please read and retain for your safety.  
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV set has been engineered  
and manufactured to assure your personal safety. But improper use can result in poten-  
tial electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in  
this TV set, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.  
And also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
DO NOT OPEN  
CAUTION:To reduce the risk of electric shock.  
Do not remove cover (or back).  
No user serviceable parts inside.  
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.  
INSTALLATION  
1 Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one blade of the plug is wider  
than the other).  
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,  
within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert  
the user to the presence of uninsulated “dan-  
gerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure  
that may be of sufficient magnitude to consti-  
tute a risk of electric shock to persons.  
(POLARIZED-TYPE)  
This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power outlet only one way. Should  
you be unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.  
Should it still fail to fit, contact your electrician.  
The exclamation point within an equilateral tri-  
angle is intended to alert the user to the pres-  
ence of important operating and maintenance  
(servicing) instructions in the literature accom-  
panying the appliance.  
2 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the  
operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power  
supply to your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery  
operation, refer to the operating instructions.  
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT  
EXPOSE THIS TV SET TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.  
3 Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power  
cords and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service  
technician for replacement.  
CAUTION: TO INSURE PERSONAL SAFETY, OBSERVE THE  
FOLLOWING RULES REGARDING THE USE OF  
THIS UNIT.  
4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV  
set where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire  
hazard.  
1. Operate only from the power source specified on the unit.  
2. Avoid damaging the AC plug and power cord.  
3. Avoid Improper installation and never position the unit where good  
ventilation is unattainable.  
4. Do not allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings.  
5. In the event of trouble, unplug the unit and call a service technician.  
Do not attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover.  
5 Do not use this TV set near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen  
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.  
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.  
Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the warranty.  
* When you don’t use this TV set for a long period of time, be sure to  
disconnect both the power plug from the AC outlet and antenna for  
your safety.  
* To prevent electric shock do not use this polarized plug with an  
extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be  
fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.  
 
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  
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 period 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.  
fatal.  
14 A TV set and cart combination should be moved with  
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven sur-  
faces may cause the TV set and cart combination to  
overturn.  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING  
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE  
SERVICE  
15 Unplug this TV set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service per-  
sonnel under the following conditions:  
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
B. If liquid has been spilled into the TV set.  
C. If the TV set has been exposed to rain or water.  
D. If the TV set does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.  
Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions as  
improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require  
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV set to normal operation.  
E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
F. When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a  
need for service.  
8 TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow heat generated  
during operation to be released.  
Therefore:  
— Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV set by placing it on a  
bed, sofa, rug, etc.  
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 personnel.  
— Never place a TV set in a “built-in” enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.  
— Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.  
— Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat register.  
9 To avoid personal injury:  
17 When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify in writing  
that the replacement parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the orig-  
inal parts. Use of manufacturer’s specified replacement parts can prevent fire,  
shock, or other hazards.  
— Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.  
— Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV set manufacturer.  
— Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.  
— Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should  
use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.  
18 Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV set, please ask the service techni-  
cian to perform the safety check described in the manufacturer’s service literature.  
19 When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a pic-  
USE  
ture tube implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the TV set.  
10 Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet openings.  
Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or electrical shock.  
20 Note to CATV system installer.  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-  
40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, spec-  
ifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the build-  
ing, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.  
11 Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or an  
aerosol cleaner.  
12 Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for this purpose.  
Such additions may result in a hazard.

Changing the Batteries  
Push down on the remotes back cover and slide towards the bottom to remove it.  
Insert two AA batteries (supplied), carefully noting the "+" and "-" markings on the batteries and on the remote  
control. To avoid a potential short circuit, insert the "-" end first. Be sure to use only size AA batteries.  
When batteries are installed, slide the cover back into place (until it clicks into position).  
If the remote control acts erratically, replace the batteries. Typical battery life is six months to one  
year. We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.  
When you change the batteries, try to complete the task within three minutes. If you take longer than three  
minutes, the remote control codes for your VCR, DVD, and/or Cable Box may have to be reset (page 16-18).
