Unpacking Your Television

Thank you for your purchase of JVC???s model AV-56WP30 or AV-48WP30 Color Television. Before you begin setting up your new television, please check to make sure you have all of the following items. In addition to this guide, your television box should include:

Once you have unpacked your television, the next step is to connect it to your antenna/cable or satellite system and to connect the audio/video devices you want to use with your television. To make these connections you will use plugs like the ones illustrated below.

We recommend that before you start using your new television, you read your entire User???s Guide so you can learn about your new television???s many great features. But if you???re anxious to start using your television right away, a quick setup guide follows on the next three pages.

Quick Setup 1

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

The remote control is the key to operating your television's many great features. 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.

Basic Operation

Turn the television on and off by pressing the POWER button at the top right corner of the remote.

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. The right and left buttons will turn the volume up or down. These buttons are also marked with four arrows and are also used with JVC's onscreen menu system. You will need to use these buttons later in the Quick Setup.

The next step is to connect your television to an antenna or cable.

Proceed to Step Two

U.S. Parental Rating Systems

Programs with the following Ratings are appropriate for Children.

Programs are created for very young viewers and should be suitable for all ages, including children ages 2 - 6.

TV-Y7 is for Older Children. Most parents would find such programs suitable for children 7 and above. They may contain some mild fantasy violence or comedic violence, which children should be able to discern from reality.

Programs with the following Ratings are designed for the entire audience.

TV-G stands for General Audience. Most parents would find these programs suitable for all age groups. They contain little or no violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialog or situations.

TV-PG Parental Guidance Suggested. May contain some, but not much, strong language, limited violence, and some suggestive sexual dialog or situations. It is recommended that parents watch these programs first, or with their children.

TV-14 Parents Strongly Cautioned. Programs contain some material that may be unsuitable for children under the age of 14 including possible intense violence, sexual situations, strong coarse language, or intensely suggestive dialog. Parents are cautioned against unattended viewing by children under 14.

MPAA (Motion Picture Assoc. of America) 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??? 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.

X - No One under 18. Inappropriate material for anyone under 18.

Special Note about Ratings

Some programs are broadcast without a ratings signal. Therefore, even if you setup V-CHIP ratings limits, these programs will not be blocked. Parents are cautioned to preview the

contents of these programs or movies.

Note (for Canadian viewers): The V-CHIP function is based on specifications designed for the United States and therefore may not work properly in Canada.

???Select STEREO for your normal listening needs. With this setting programs broadcast in stereo will be played by the TV in stereo. Programs broadcast in mono sound only will be played in mono sound.

???Select MONO if you are receiving a weak signal. Mono sound will usually give clearer sound from weak signals than will stereo. With this setting all broadcasts, mono and stereo, will be played in mono sound only by the television.

???Select SAP (Second Audio Program) to listen to an alternate soundtrack (if one is being broadcast). Alternate soundtracks may be the dialog of a program in a different language or additional information about a program topic. A logo will appear at the beginning of a program with SAP to inform you that an alternate soundtrack is available.

Some Sound Advice

You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS menu. Unfortunately, some cable companies may ???squash??? the transmission of stereo programs because they have only monaural equipment. If you are connected to a cable system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company. If they broadcast only monaural signals, your television will only receive a mono signal even if the program was originally broadcast in stereo.

Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television networks. If you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the tuner mode in the AUTO TUNER SETUP to ???AIR??? instead of ???CABLE??? you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in stereo.

Troubleshooting

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.

???The operation of this television is not guaranteed below 0??C. If the power is turned on when the temperature is below 0??C, the picture may be disturbed. Use the television when the temperature is 0??C or higher.

???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.

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.

Appendix A

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 of the AV-56WP30 or AV-48WP30 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.
