Warnings
Avoiding Ghost Images
Displaying fixed images for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but temporary ghost
image on your screen. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern.
Examples include, but are not limited to the following:
• Stock-market report bars
• Shopping channel logos and pricing
displays
• Video game patterns or scoreboards
• Bright station logos
• Internet web sites or other computer-style
images.
• DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs
• Broadcast, cable, satellite channels or
digital television tuners/converters.

For example...
TV on

TV off

XYZ

XYZ

Caring for the Cabinet
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.

Caring for the Screen
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.

Quick Setup

Getting Started

Getting Started
These quick setup pages will provide you, in four easy steps, with the basic information you
need to begin using your new television right away.
If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult
other sections of this manual.

Step 1 - Using the stand
This TV comes with a Table Top Stand already attached.
This stand can be used to adjust the direction of the TV screen 5° up, 10° down and 20° to the
left or right.
These illustrations are for LT-26X776 and LT-32X776. The stand for the LT-37X776 is
different. You can only adjust the direction of the TV screen 20º to the left or right.

Tilt the TV up or down
While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand,
use your other hand to hold the middle of the top of the
TV, and slowly tilt the TV up or down.
• As a safety measure, the stand is constructed so that
it requires a certain amount of force to tilt the TV.

Rotate the TV left or right
While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand,
use your other hand to hold the edge of the panel
and slowly adjust the direction of the TV stand.

Cable Holder
A cable holder which keeps your connection cables tidy is attached on the back of the stand.
Gently squeeze the left and right of the cable holder, and pull it to remove it from the stand.
After putting the cables in the cable holder, attach it to the back of the stand again.

Remove the terminal cover
There are connection terminals behind the covers on the left and right in the back of the TV.
Remove these two covers before connecting an antenna or other devices. The covers can
be removed by removing the hooks. When replacing the covers, place the side of the covers
against the TV and insert the hooks.
Note:
• Leave the terminal covers off if they do not fit properly. Do not force to replace the covers.
Doing so may damage the connection cables and covers.

Quick Setup

Getting Started

Step 2 – The Remote Control
Before you can operate your remote control, you
first need to install the batteries (included).
Slide the cover on the back of the remote down
towards the bottom of the remote control. Insert
two batteries (included) carefully noting the “+”
and “–” markings, placing the “–” end in the unit
first. Slide the cover back into place.
When you change the batteries, try to
complete the task within three minutes. If you
take longer than three minutes, the remote
control codes for your VCR, DVD, and/or
cable box/satellite receiver may have to be
reset. See pages 28 - 31.

Key Feature Buttons
The four key feature buttons at the center of the remote can be
used for basic operation of the television. The top and bottom
buttons will scan forward and back through the available
channels. 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. The
right and left buttons will turn the volume up or down. These
buttons are also marked with four arrows and are used with
JVC’s onscreen menu system. To use the onscreen menus,
press the MENU button.

colors. Please consult the user’s manual for your DVD player for more information.
• Be careful not to confuse the red DVD cable with the red audio cable. It is best to complete
one set of connections (DVD or audio output) before starting the other to avoid accidentally
switching the cables.
• You may also connect the DVD player to Input 1.

Movies Ratings
❒ NR – Not Rated
This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries
which do not use the MPAA ratings system. Other NR films may be from amateur producers
who didn’t intend to have their film widely released.
NR (Not Rated) Programming may contain all types of programming including children’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.
❒ PG – Parental Guidance
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.
❒ 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.
❒ R – Restricted
These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for
unsupervised children under the age of 17.
❒ NC-17 – No One Under 17
These movies contain content which most parents would feel is too adult for their children
to view. Content can consist of strong language, nudity, violence, and suggestive or explicit
subject matter.

PANORAMA - With this ratio a normal
4:3 aspect picture is stretched to fit the
dimensions of the 16:9 aspect screen.

REGULAR - The regular ratio is used
when you want to watch a 4:3 broadcast
or recorded program without modifying the
original picture to fit the dimensions of your
16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture will fill the
screen from top to bottom, while black bars
will appear to fill up the remaining space
along the picture’s sides. The 4:3 picture
will be centered within the boundaries of the
16:9 screen.

CINEMA - This ratio “zooms in” on the
center part of a 4:3 aspect picture, blowing
it up to fill the 16:9 screen.

CINEMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches
the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to
eliminate the black surrounding bars.
FULL - This is the ratio to use when
watching 16:9 High-Definition broadcasts.

PANORAMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches
the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to
eliminate the black side bars.

SLIM - This aspect mode shrinks the
screen of 16:9 to 4:3. There are some

OSD Information
Weak Signal
This OSD warning appears when the digital channel that you have selected is too weak to
receive or no signal is being detected for that channel.

Weak Signal
15

No Program
If the TV channel you selected, or were watching is not receiving a signal, "NO PROGRAM"
appears on the television screen. It appears when that channel is not receiving a signal and you
have the Noise Muting function OFF and you have a single screen. It moves automatically every
two seconds to prevent the screen from burn-in.
Note:
• Even if "NO PROGRAM" appears on the screen, your timer functions and auto shut off
functions that you set, are still active.

Troubleshooting
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.
PROBLEMS

CHECK

There is no power

• 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 input mode could be set improperly. See page 61.
• The tuner (Auto Tuner Setup) could be set improperly. See page 35.
• The TV station may be having difficulties. Check to see if other stations are working.

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.
• Check that the TV/CATV switch is in the proper position.
• You may be too far from the TV. You must be within 23 feet (7 meters).

You cannot select a
certain channel

• Make sure the channels have been programmed. See "Channel Summary", page 36.
• Check to see if the channel is locked. See "Channel Summary - Lock" page 37.

The power turns off
by itself

• Make sure the set did not become unplugged.
• Perhaps the On/Off Timer is set. See page 58.
• Check to see if the Sleep Timer was set. See page 64.

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 clock is wrong

• The power was interrupted and the clock was not reset. See page 57.

The color quality
is poor

• Tint and Color may be improperly adjusted. See page 53.
• The Video Status mode may be turned to the wrong setting. See page 63.

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.

The picture is spotted

• 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 reflect the original signal and produce a second,
slightly delayed one. Adjust your antenna position.

Picture is snowy
(image noise)

• Your antenna may be damaged, disconnected or turned. Check the antenna
connection. If the antenna is damaged, replace it.

Screen is 80% black

• The Closed Caption Text mode is on. Turn it off in the Closed Caption Menu, page 46.

Stereo or bilingual
programs can't be
heard

• Make sure the MTS settings are correct. See page 64.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEMS

CHECK

Static electricity

• It is normal to feel static electricity if you brush or touch the screen.

You hear occasional
crackling sounds

• It is normal for the TV to make crackling sounds when first turned on or off. Unless
the sound or picture become abnormal, this is fine.

The AUTO DEMO
finished automatically

• The On Timer that you programmed has started.
• The channel that the AUTO DEMO is using is a channel that is blocked by V-Chip.
• The Auto Shut Off that you programed has occured.

It does not operate
correctly

• Press the CHANNEL- and VOLUME- buttons on the front panel of the TV simultaneously
for a few seconds. The Digital Tuner will be reset. If this does not reset it correctly, unplug
the power cord and plug it back in.

The following are not malfunctions.
• The television may make a creaking sound if the temperature of the room or the
temperature of the inside of the television changes. If there is no problem with the screen or
sound, then there is no need to worry.
• Although the picture may be temporarily disturbed and noise may be seen on the screen if
the power is turned on immediately after it has been turned off, this is not a malfunction.
