Welcome...
Thank you for purchasing JVC???s model
The D???Ahlia is one of the highest quality and most technologically advanced televisions available today.
It is recommended that you read this instruction manual before using the television in order to learn about the many features.
Cautions related to the safe use of the device and important information which will help you to be able to use this device for a long time are in Appendixes A to C.
Once again, thank you for purchasing this television and please enjoy using it.
In order to be able to use the television for a long time
This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen.
Before using the television, please read the safety cautions and information about this television which are sum- marized below.
1.When the power is turned on, the
This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen.
Once the lamp has warmed up, you can enjoy the pictures at their full brightness. What happens when the power is turned on is explained below.
Immediately after the power is turned on, since the lamp has not had time to warm up, the picture is displayed only dimly on the screen. As the lamp warms up, the picture becomes brighter. It takes approximately one minute for the lamp to warm up to its normal operating temperature.
There are 10 LED indicators on the front panel of the television and these can be used as a guide.
When the POWER button is pressed, the 10 LED indicators light green and then go out one at a time approxi- mately every 5 seconds.
2.Cooling the inside of the television and the lamp
Cooling is also performed while the television being shut down.
When the POWER button is pressed to turn the power off, the following operations are performed.
When the television is turned off, the picture on the screen darkens from the outsides like a pair of curtains closing. If the POWER button is pressed again while the curtains are still closing, the power can be turned back on again.
Once the curtains have fully closed and the screen is dark, cooling is performed for approximately one minute.
While the cooling is being performed, the 10 LED indicators on the front panel light two at a time while moving clockwise. The television can not be operated while the cooling is being performed.
After the cooling has been performed for approximately one minute, the power is turned off.
Do not remove the electric plug until after the cooling has been completed. If the electric plug is removed without performing the cooling operation, the internal circuits and lamp may overheat leading to the life of the lamp being shortened and the possibilities of malfunctions.
Do not block the ventilation holes
Do not block the ventilation holes while the power is turned on. Do not block the air intake holes behind the speaker grills.
Clean the air filter once every three months.
In order for cold air to be fed inside the device, the two filters which are behind the speaker grills, must be regularly cleaned. If cold air is not fed into the device, the internal circuits and lamp may overheat leading to the life of the lamp being shortened and the possibilities of malfunctions. Refer to Appendix A for the details about cleaning the air filters.
3.The lamp is a consumable item
Replace the lamp when it has blown or when the pictures becomes dark. The lamp is a
4.The television requires a lot of electric power
It is recommended that the television is connected directly to the wall socket, and not to another device. When connecting the television to a wall socket that is being used by another device or when using an extension cord, be careful not to exceed the capacity of the socket.
Do not turn the power on and off repeatedly in a short time.
It subjects the television and lamp to stress and may lead to malfunctions and the life of the lamp being short- ened.
5.The screen is made of plastic
Handle the screen carefully as it scratches easily. Do not rub, hit or press it with any hard objects.
When the screen is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Refer to Appendix A for details of how to clean the screen.
6.Caution! Warm air from air duct
This unit has an air duct for cooling. The duct will blow warm air while the television is operating. When placing the television, make sure not to locate the unit too close to wallpaper. The warm air could cause the color of the wallpaper to change. Also take care to keep children and pets away from the warm air ducts. Long expo- sure to the warm air from the ducts could cause a minor burn.
7Caution! Moving this unit
This unit has casters. When you are moving the unit, try to only push the unit from the sides. Attempting to push the unit from the front or back could cause the unit to tip over.
When lifting this unit, do not hold by the screen frame. Holding the screen frame could cause it to detach from the unit and fall.
8.Do not replace the lamp immediately after use
The lamp becomes extremely hot during use. If the lamp is touched immediately after use before it has had a chance to cool down, there is a danger of burns. Be careful when handling the lamp.
9.Do not touch the lamp glass
If the lamp is used when there is dirt from fingers on the lamp glass, there is a possibility of the lamp breaking. Be careful not to touch the lamp glass.
10.ILA element characteristics
Do not project still pictures or pictures which have still segments for a long time.
The still parts of the picture may remain on the screen. This is a characteristic of ILA elements and not a mal- function. The picture will disappear over time.
11.Condensation
When a heater is turned on or the television is moved from a cold place to a hot place, droplets of water may be formed on the lamp and screen. This is called condensation. If the television is used while this condensa- tion is still present, the picture may seem distorted, and the inside of the screen may become dirty.
In such cases, wait until the condensation has gone before using the television.
12.Do not open the rear cabinet of this unit

Many broadcasts today contain more than one audio signal. In addition to stereo and mono soundtracks, some broadcasts also contain a second soundtrack in a different language. Use MTS to select the audio signal you wish to listen to.
???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.
