zYou can send the channel information programmed on the TV to the “T-V LINK” compatible device, so that both

the TV and the external device have the same channel settings. When connecting a new external device,

channel information is loaded into it, allowing channel setup to be completed very quickly. For more details,

refer to the external device’s manual.

zYou can easily record the TV programme you are viewing on a “T-V LINK” compatible device by using the

“Direct Rec” feature. For more details, refer to the external device’s manual.

What is “ACI” (Automatic Channel Installation)?

Some cable companies transmit a signal called “ACI” which contains information that allows TV channels to be

registered automatically on your TV.

Auto in “Zoom”

received.

zThe aspect ratio will turn to the ratio obtained from WSS (Wide Screen Identification Signal), video signal, or

100Hz Clear Motion Drive

Most conventional LCD panel uses 50 frames per second (50 Hz) to display an image which needs long holding

time (time it takes to display single frame), causing blurring or ghost images when there is rapid or complex

movement across the screen - a phenomenon common to all LCD panels.

This TV is equipped with JVC’s original “100Hz Clear Motion Drive” technology, which displays two frames (the

original plus the new interpolated frame) in the time a 50 Hz set displays a single frame. Resulting to double the

typical rate, 100 frames per second (100 Hz) and half the holding time without reducing brightness or contrast.

By using this technology you will be able to reduce blurring or ghost images when there is rapid or complex

movement across the screen.

By using “Auto Demonstration”, you can display the differences between conventional LCD (50 Hz) and LCD panel

equipped with “100Hz Clear Motion Drive”.

*1 To simulate Moving image of conventional LCD, the TV will display two same frames at a time.

* The illustrations are emphasized to make clear differences between LCD panel equipped with “100Hz Clear

Motion Drive” and conventional LCD.

zSet “Auto Demonstration” to “On” “Off”. g “Auto Demonstration” (P. 38)

zWhen set to “On”, it automatically enters demonstration every time no operation is made for approximately 3

minutes. To stop automatic demonstration, set “Auto Demonstration” to “Off”.

zWhen the images are 60 frames per second (60 Hz), it will be produced as 120 frames per second (120 Hz).
