TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION:
TO INSURE PERSONAL SAFETY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RULES
REGARDING THE USE OF THIS UNIT.
1. Operate only from the power source specified on the unit.
2. Avoid damaging the AC plug and power cord.
3. Avoid Improper installation and never position the unit where good
ventilation is unattainable.
4. Do not allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings.
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.
* To prevent electric shock do not use this polarized plug with an
extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully
inserted to prevent blade exposure.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not
remove cover (or back). No user serviceable
parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within
the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.

with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15) Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids,

17) Cautions for installation
-- Do not tilt the TV towards the left or right, or towards the back.

-- The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient space
is available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling.
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. In order to prevent burn-in, set this function to FAST or STD. (Refer to page 43.)
Even if the IMAGE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture will shift to the left or right when the
channel or input is changed. This is only when the ASPECT function is in REGULAR mode.
VIDEO STATUS
The VIDEO STATUS function is initially set to DYNAMIC. Unless the TV is being watched in an
extremely bright room, it is recommended to change the VIDEO STATUS setting to standard,
theater or game. Doing so will reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the life of the
PDP. (Refer to page 56).
Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.
While an image is displayed
With power OFF
Burn-in example
· Reduce PICTURE and BRIGHT on the PICTURE ADJUST menu (page 47) when viewing.
Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 58).
Screen size is normally chosen to ensure that the picture is displayed on the entire screen.
After viewing in the REGULAR mode in which black bands may occur at the left and right of
the screen, it is recommended to change to the PANORAMA mode to display the picture on
the entire screen.
While an image is displayed
With power OFF
Burn-in example
Do not view for long periods of time using the SPLIT function (page 52) or INDEX
function (page 53).
