5. In the event of trouble, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover. Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the warranty. * When you don’t use this TV set for a long period of time, be sure to disconnect both the power plug from the AC outlet and antenna for your safety. - Page 4 INSTALLATION 1 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer to the operating instructions.
- Page 5 8 An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
- Page 6 14 For added protection of the TV set during a lightning storm or when the TV set is to be left unattended for an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning storms or power line surges.
- Page 7 WARNING Burn-in A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) is that displaying the same image for a long time causes a part of the image to stay on the screen (this is called phosphor burn-in). Avoid burn-in as follows. IMAGE SHIFT The picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down and to the left and right at regular intervals.
- Page 8 WARNING If Burn-in has occurred If burn-in occurs, try the BURN-IN IMAGE REDUCER function (page 50). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable. Note: Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely. Point defects PDPs use collections of fine pixels to display images. While there is no problem with more than 99.99% of these pixels, please understand that a very small number of pixels may not light or may light all the time.
