Caring for the frame and stand

Caring for the Screen

Your TV has a glossy frame and stand which have protection sheets attached to them. Peel

them off before use, but only after the TV has been properly placed. Take care with handling

the glossy frame and stand because these surfaces are delicate.

Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.

If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth, slightly

moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to help

remove spots of oily dirt.

• DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.

• DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.

• DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surface.

• DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.

The screen is treated with an electrostatic-proof coating. When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a

soft cloth. If the screen is very dirty, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in a diluted kitchen cleaner

and thoroughly wrung-out. Then wipe immediately after with a clean, dry cloth.

• DO NOT apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the

screen. These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.

• DO NOT push or hit the screen. This could cause scratches on the screen surface and image

distortions.

Cable Users: After your auto tuner setup is complete, you may, (depending on the type of

hookup), have only 1 channel, usually 2, 3 or 4 in the auto tuner memory. This

is normal.

Notes:

• If you use a set top box (satellite or cable box), press Exit to skip this step.

• If you want to turn off the Auto Demo, press the MENU button.

We have an important note for customers who subscribe to basic cable services (do not have

a separate cable box) and plan to use their JVC TV remote control to select channels.

Once you run the Auto Tuner Setup (which detects and programs all the channels your TV is

receiving through the RF input), every channel number available from your cable company

will appear in your television’s Channel Summary and they will all be marked as available for

scanning. Even though every channel is detected and appears as available, you will only be

able to view those that you specifi cally subscribe to from your cable company. This will likely

mean there are blank channels between those channels you wish to scan or “surf”.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it is important to note that this is

not a malfunction of your television. If you want to sequentially scan those channels you

subscribe to without blank ones in between, you can contact your cable company for their

cable box and remote, or manually deselect them using the edit / skip feature on page 33.

Customizing your TV

Aspect

Panorama - When watching a 4:3 aspect

picture it is stretched to fit the

dimensions of the 16:9 aspect

screen.

Cinema - This ratio “zooms in” on

the center part of a 4:3

aspect picture, blowing it up

proportionally to fill the 16:9

screen.

Full - When watching a 4:3 aspect picture,

it is stretched to fit the dimensions of

the TV. When watching a 16:9 aspect

picture, it displays 95% of the ratio.

Full Native - This ratio displays 100%

of the ratio. Normally, all

aspects except for Full Native

display about 95%.

Regular - When watching a 4:3 aspect

picture without modifying

the original picture to fit the

dimensions of your 16:9 screen.

Black bars will appear along the

picture’s sides. The picture will be

centered within the boundaries of

the 16:9 screen.

Allows you to adjust the way the image appears on your TV based on the format that is being

received.

Notes:

• Depending on the signal format, some aspect modes are unavailable.

• If you change the aspect mode after the television changed it to Full automatically, the

television will change to the aspect mode you choose. It also turns to Full automatically

when the TV receives an HD (1080p, 1080i or 720p) signal.

• In iPod mode, selections of Aspect menu changes to Full / Regular / 16:9 Mini / 4:3 Mini.

Slim - This aspect mode shrinks the

screen of a 16:9 broadcast to 4:3.

There are some programming that

is already stretched by mistake at

broadcasting companies, so this

mode corrects it. Black side bars will

appear.

Refer to the table below to check the condition. If you think that there is a problem, contact the

JVC Service Center where you purchased the television.

Troubleshooting

• See if the power cord became unplugged.

• Check for a blown fuse or circuit breaker or a power outage.

There is no picture or sound

• The antenna could be disconnected.

• The tuner could be set improperly. See page 58.

• The TV station may be having diffi culties. Check to see if other stations are working.

• Use the HDMI cable with HDMI logo.

• If you have a device connected to INPUT-1, INPUT-2 or INPUT-3, you will not be able to

hear any audio from the AUDIO OUT on the back of the TV.

• You cannot output audio using the DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL OUT when you have digital

sound from an HDMI device connected to the INPUT-1, INPUT-2 or INPUT-3 connection on

the back of the TV.

• This TV can accept 480i (Composite / S / HDMI / Component), 480p, 720p, 1080i and

1080p signals. Please check your settings.

Remote control is not operating properly or at all

• Check to see that the batteries are still working and properly installed.

• Make sure the remote has a clear sight path to the TV.

• You may be too far from the TV. You must be within 23 feet (7 meters).

The power turns off by itself

• Make sure the set did not become unplugged.

• Perhaps the Auto Shut Off is set. See page 41.

• Check to see if the Sleep Timer was set. See page 18.

It does not operate correctly

• This television is operated by a microprocessor. It is possible that external noise or

interference is causing the problem. If the television does not function correctly, remove

the electrical plug from the wall outlet and wait a while before inserting it into the wall outlet

again and operating the television.

The color quality is poor

• Tint and Color may be improperly adjusted. See page 26.

There are lines across the picture

• There could be interference from another electrical appliance, such as a computer, another

TV or VCR. Move any such appliances further away from the TV.

• There could be interference from a high-wattage appliance, like a hairdryer or vacuum,

operating nearby. Move the antenna away from the appliance or change to a coaxial cable

connection which is less prone to interference.

There are double pictures (ghosts)

• A building or passing airplane can refl ect the original signal and produce a second, slightly

delayed one. Adjust your antenna position.

LCT2518-002C-A.indd 64LCT2518-002C-A.indd 64 6/29/09 3:46:49 PM6/29/09 3:46:49 PM
