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 potential electrical shock or re 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.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
INSTALLATION
1 Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one blade of the plug is wider than the other).
(POLARIZED-TYPE)
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS TV SET TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. TO INSURE PERSONAL SAFETY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RULES REGARDING THE USE OF THIS UNIT.
1. Operate only from the power source specied 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. Changes or modications not approved by JVC could void the warranty. * When you dont 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.
CAUTION:
This safety feature allows the plug to t 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 t, contact your electrician. 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. 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 re hazard. Call your service technician for replacement. 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 re hazard. 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. 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
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. 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.

The Connections Checklist Read Me First! section of this guide is a list of ideas to keep in mind when you set out to perform your connections. It is designed to help us not-so-technicallyadvanced individuals. If you read this section, and cant identify the plugs, connectors, and components you have, do not be afraid to seek help.
RF Connectors
1) Refer to the connection instructions in the users guide for each component you plan to connect. They will provide more detailed information about their products, and they will tell you what plugs and cables are required. 2) Most A/V input jacks and plugs are color coded: Yellow plugs are Video connections Red plugs are for Right Audio connections White plugs are Left Audio (Mono) connections 3) Perform one hookup at a time. If you have many accessories to connect, make sure each connection is correct by checking to see that it works properly before attempting the next connection. (For example, always start with the RF or Cable connections, make sure it works, then move on to video or VCR connections.) 4) Unplug the power cord between each connection. 5) Each jack on the back of the TV is labeled. If you read these instructions and still do not fully understand the connections process, seek assistance. 6) The IR Mouse lets TV Guide Plus+ control your cable box and/or your VCR. You must place the transmitter of the IR Mouse in front of the corresponding window on the cable box or VCR. 7) The AV Compu Link Cable is supplied with the JVC device which you want to connect. If you do not have one, but you do have a JVC Compu Link capable VCR or HiFi, contact your local JVC dealer.

CONNECTING TO JVC AV COMPU LINK CAPABLE COMPONENTS
11
AV Compu Link makes playing video tapes totally automatic. Simply insert a pre-recorded tape* into the JVC brand VCR, and the VCR automatically turns on and starts playing. At the same time, the VCR sends an AV Compu Link signal to the television telling it to turn on and switch to the correct video input. NOTE: The AV Compu Link cable should be included with the AV Compu Link capable accessory you intend to connect. If it is not, contact an authorized JVC Service Center for Part # EWP 805-012.
NOTES: A) The AV Compu Link cable has a male 3.5 mm (mono) mini plug on each end. B) If your JVC brand VCR has A Code/B Code Remote Control Switching (see your VCR instructions), using VCR A Code will switch the TV to Video Input 1. If you use Input 1 for Video out from the cable box, use Input 2 here. Using B Code will switch the TV to Video Input 2. C) To connect a JVC HiFi receiver or amplier for a completely automated home theater, see the HiFi receiver's instructions for detailed hookup diagrams. * In order for the VCR to start playback automatically, the recording tabs must be removed from the VHS tape. If the tab is in place, automatic switching starts when you push the VCR PLAY button. ** AV COMPU LINK EX is compatible with the following 1998 receivers: RX-664V, RX-665V, RX-774V, RX-884V, RX-1024V, and later receiver models.

The Balance adjustment feature allows you to center the TVs sound to your needs. To BALANCE To shift the speaker balance to the right To shift the speaker balance to the left To move to next
Some Sound Advice You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS menu. Unfortunately, it is common for some cable companies to squash the transmission of stereo programs to mono because they only have mono equipment. If your TV is connected to a cable system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company if they broadcast in mono, you receive mono sound regardless of the original stereo programming. Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television networks. If you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the Tuner Mode in the Auto Tuner Setup to Air instead of Cable, you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in stereo.
