Introduction
About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
· The manual mainly explains operations using the buttons
and controls on the unit. You can also use the buttons on
the remote control if they have the same or similar
names (or marks) as those on the unit.
If operation using the remote control is different from
that using the unit, it is then explained.
· Basic and common information that is the same for
many functions is grouped in one place, and is not
repeated in each procedure. For instance, we do not
repeat the information about turning on/off the unit,
setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and
others, which are explained in the section "Basic
Settings" and "Common Operations" on pages 10, 11,
and 12.
· The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent
from a damage or risk of fire/electric
shock.
Also gives you information which is not
good for obtaining the best possible
performance from the unit.
Gives you information and hints you had
better know.
Precautions
Installation
· Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot
nor too cold -- between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F).
· Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat built-up in the unit.
· Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
· Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid
interference with TV.
DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.
Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to
obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual
for future reference.
Power sources
· When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the
following cases:
· After starting heating in the room
· In a damp room
· If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
place
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in
again.
Others
· Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating
any further.
· If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are
no user serviceable parts inside.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
