cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
6) Attachments -- Do not use attachments not recommended by
the manufacturer of this product as they may cause hazards.
7) Water and Moisture -- Do not expose this product to rain, water
and moisture, or operate it near water -- for example near a
bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
basement or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8) Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked
or covered.
· Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed,
sofa, rug or other similar surface.
· Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
9) Power Sources -- Operate your product only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. If your product is intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
10) Grounding or Polarization
Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
11) Power Cord Protection -- Power supply cords should be routed
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the product.
12) Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding
electrode. Example of antenna
grounding is illustrated in here.

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 "Common Operations" on pages
10 to 12.
· The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent
from 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 buildup 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 AC power cord 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
