Warnings

Displaying ﬁ xed 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:

Caring for the Cabinet

Caring for the Screen

Avoiding Ghost Images

XYZ XYZ

TV on TV off

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.

For example...

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.

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.

Quick Setup Getting Started

Getting Started

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.

Step 1 - Using the stand

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.

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.

LCT1881-001A-A ENG 12 4/26/05, 9:39:49 AM

Quick Setup Getting Started

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.

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.

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.

Step 2 – The Remote Control

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.

This feature will help you adjust the picture you are watching to give you the best possible

picture quality.

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.

Aspect Ratios

PANORAMA - With this ratio a normal

4:3 aspect picture 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 to fill the 16:9 screen.

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.

CINEMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches

the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to

eliminate the black surrounding bars.

SLIM - This aspect mode shrinks the

screen of 16:9 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.

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.
