IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 potential electrical
shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this TVset,
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
And also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.
INSTALLATION
1Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one blade of the plug is wider than the
other).
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.
2Operate the TVset only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the oper-
ating 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.
3Overloaded 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.
4Do 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.
5Do 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.
6If 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 require-
ments for the grounding electrode.
(POLARIZED-TYPE)
AV-27,32,36F7/802 A 9/4/01 9:44 AM Page 3

7An 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.
8TV 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.
— 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.
9To avoid personal injury:
— Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.
—Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TVset 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.
USE
10 Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet open-
ings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or elec-
trical shock.
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 addi-
tions may result in a hazard.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
AV-27,32,36F7/802 A 9/4/01 9:44 AM Page 4

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 ATVset 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.
SERVICE
15 Unplug this TV set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
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 quali-
fied 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.
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 person-
nel.
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 original parts. Use
of manufacturer’s specified replacement parts can prevent fire, shock, or other hazards.
18 Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV set, please ask the service technician
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 picture
tube implosion.Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the TV set.
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, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as practical.

the device will automatically turn on and begin playback. At the same time, using the AV
Compu Link, the VCR or DVD player sends a signal to the television telling it to turn on and
switch to the proper video input.
•The AV Compu Link cable may be included with the JVC AV Compu Link accessory you
wish to connect. If it is not, contact an authorized JVCService Center for
part # EWP 805-012.
• AV Compu Link can only be used with JVC-brand products.
NOTE:
• In order for the VCR playback to begin automatically, the recording tabs must be remove from
the VHS tape. If the tab is in place, automatic switching will occur when you push the VCR’s
PLAY button.
• The AV Compu Link cable has a male 3.5 mm (mono) plug on each end.
•If your JVC-brand VCR has “A Code/B Code Remote Control Switching”(see your VCR’s
instruction book), using VCR A Code will switch the TV to input 1.
• To connect a JVC HiFi receiver or amplifier for a completely automated home theater, see
the HiFi’s connection instructions for detailed connection information.
• AVCOMPU LINK EX is compatible with the following receivers:RX-664V, RX-665V,
RX-668VBK, RX-774V, RX-778VBK, RX-884V, RX-888VBK, RX-1024V, RX-1028VBK, and
later receiver models.

Remote Control
•Before you can operate the remote control, you must first
install the batteries (included). See “Changing the
Batteries” at the bottom of this page for instructions. (For
an illustration, please see page 8.)
• Press the POWER button to turn the television on or off.
•Make sure the TV/CATV switch is set to TV. Move the
switch to CATV only if you need to operate a cable box.
• Slide the VCR/DVD selector switch to VCR to control a
VCR, slide to DVD to control a DVD player. Please see
pages 18 to 20 for instructions on programming your
remote control to operate a Cable box, VCR or DVD player.
•Press the CH+ and CH– buttons to scan through the chan-
nels. Tap the CH+ or CH– button to move through the
channels one channel at a time.
• To move rapidly through the channels using JVC’s
Hyperscan feature, press and hold CH+ or CH–. The
channels will zip by at a rate of five channels per second.
•Press VOL+ or VOL– to raise or lower the volume. An indi-
cator bar will appear onscreen to show you the television

Changing the Batteries
Push down on the remote’s 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 min-
utes, the remote control codes for your VCR, DVD, and/or Cable Box may have to be reset
(see pages 18-20).
Remote Control Basics
