No user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the
product's 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.

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS TV
SET TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

TO INSURE PERSONAL SAFETY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
REGARDING THE USE OF THIS UNIT.

RULES

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.
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.

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 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.

INSTALLATION
1 Your 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.

(POLARIZED-TYPE)

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 fire 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 fire hazard.
5 Do not use this TV set near water -- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.

kitchen sink, or

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.

Getting Started
These quick setup pages will provide you, in three easy steps, with the basic information you
need to begin using your new television right away. This information includes basic instructions
on operating your remote control, making a simple cable/antenna and optional VCR connection
and, finally, information on programming your television's Auto Tuner.
If you have questions, or for more detailed information
other sections of this manual.

on any of these steps, please consult

Step One -The Remote Control
The remote control is the key to operating your television's many great features. Before you can
operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).
For RM-C255, RM-C253 and RM-C252, lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote to
open. For RM-C205, raise the latch on the remote's back cover to remove. Insert two batteries
(included) carefully noting the "+" and "-' markings, placing the "-" end in the unit first. Snap the
