Do not remove cover (or back).

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 magni-

tude 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:

CAUTION:

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 specified on the unit.

2. Avoid damaging the AC plug and power cord.

3. Avoid Improper installation and never position the unit where good venti-

lation 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 dis-

connect 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 exten-

sion cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully insert-

ed 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)

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.

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.

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 require-

ments for the grounding electrode.

2 Operate the TV set 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.

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.

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.

E 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.

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 on any of these steps, please consult

other sections of this manual.

Step One -The Remote Control

dren's programming, foreign programs, or adult material.

G - General Audience.

In the opinion of the review board, these films contain nothing in the way of sexual content,

violence, or language that would be unsuitable for audiences of any age.

Parental Guidance means the movie may contain some contents such as mild violence,

some brief nudity, and strong language. The contents are not deemed intense.

_3 PG-13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned.

Parents with children under 13 are cautioned that the content of movies with this rating may

include more explicit sexual, language, and violence content than movies rated PG.

These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for

unsupervised children under the age of 17.
