Warnings  
Screen 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 48.)  
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 68).  
Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.  
TV off  
TV on  
XYZ  
XYZ  
For example...  
• Reduce PICTURE and BRIGHT on the PICTURE ADJUST menu (page 58) when viewing.  
Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 72).  
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.  
TV off  
TV on  
For example...  
Do not view for long periods of time using the TWIN function (page 64) or INDEX  
function (page 65).

Warnings  
If Burn-in has occurred  
If burn-in occurs, try the BURN-IN IMAGE REDUCER function (page 59). 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.  
Do not install the TV near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic  
waves  
It may cause interference in images, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from  
this product.  
Effect on infrared devices  
There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.  
The phenomenon described below is not a malfunction.  
If the television is used at a location above an altitude of 2,000 m, a buzzing noise and image  
distortion may occur. This phenomenon is peculiar to PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and could  
occur with any television using PDP. It is not a malfunction.  
Caring for the Cabinet  
Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.  
If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth,  
slightly moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to  
help remove spots of oily dirt.  
DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.  
DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.  
DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surface.  
DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.  
Caring for the Screen  
When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.  
Do not apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the screen.  
These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.

up V-CHIP ratings limits, these programs will not be blocked. See page 44 for information on  
how to block unrated programs  
You can customize the V-Chip settings of your television to match your personal tastes. The  
V-Chip menu below is the starting point for your V-Chip settings  
You can use US V-Chip settings and movie ratings. You may use any or all of the settings (US

violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialog or situations.

sexual dialog or situations. It is recommended that parents watch these programs first, or  
with their children.  
TV 14 Parents Strongly Cautioned

Movies Ratings  
NR – Not Rated  
This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries  
which do not use the MPAA ratings system. Other NR films may be from amateur producers  
who didn’t intend to have their film widely released.  
NR (Not Rated) Programming may contain all types of programming including children’s  
programming, foreign programs, or adult material.  
G – General Audience  
In the opinion of the review board, these films contain nothing in the way of sexual content,  
violence, or language that would be unsuitable for audiences of any age.  
PG – Parental Guidance  
Parental Guidance means the movie may contain some contents such as mild violence,  
some brief nudity, and strong language. The contents are not deemed intense.  
PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned  
Parents with children under 13 are cautioned that the content of movies with this rating may  
include more explicit sexual, language, and violence content than movies rated PG.  
R – Restricted  
These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for  
unsupervised children under the age of 17.  
NC-17 – No One Under 17  
These movies contain content which most parents would feel is too adult for their children  
to view. Content can consist of strong language, nudity, violence, and suggestive or explicit  
subject matter.  
X – No One under 18  
Inappropriate material for anyone under 18.

Dynamic Gamma  
JVC's Dynamic Gamma Circuitry (DGC) makes it easier to see dark areas when a picture  
has many dark areas, and makes it easier to see the bright areas when a picture has many  
bright areas. DGC is turned on, DGC analyzes and adjusts the total level of picture brightness  
balance, especially in dark areas where the level of greyscale is often lost, turning completely  
to black. DGC automatically enhances the detail in these dark areas providing a more dynamic  
image with ner detail, so the optimum picture settings are automatically set for each picture.  
Normally use with DGC on.

The television may make a creaking sound if the temperature of the room or the  
temperature of the inside of the television changes. If there is no problem with the screen or  
sound, then there is no need to worry.  
Although the picture may be temporarily disturbed and noise may be seen on the screen if  
the power is turned on immediately after it has been turned off, this is not a malfunction.  
• If the television is used at a location above 2,000 m, a buzzing noise and image distortion  
may occur. This phenomenon is peculiar to PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and could occur  
with any television using PDP. It is not a malfunction.
