IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION:
Please read and retain for your safety.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV set has been engineered and
manufactured to assure your personal safety. But improper use can result in potential electrical
shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this TV set, observe
the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
And also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.
INSTALLATION
1 Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one blade
of the plug is wider than the other). This safety feature allows
the plug to fit into the power outlet only one way. Should you be
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. Should it still fail to fit, contact your electrician.
(POLARIZED-TYPE)
2 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the oper-
ating 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.
3 Overloaded AG outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords
and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service technician for
replacement.
4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV set
where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.
5 Do not use this TV set near water -- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming poo!, etc.
6 If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the antenna system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voItage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect 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 require-
ments for the grounding electrode.
This product utilizes both a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and other com.
portents that contain lead. Disposal of these materials may be regu,
lated in your community due to environmental considerations. For
disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authori-
ties, or the Electronic Industries Alliance: http:/hvww.eiae.org
AV 32/36S33/36/320/330/360 ENG 10/2/_M Page 4
7 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 fail 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.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow heat generated during
operation to be released.
Therefore:
-- Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV set by placing it on a bed, sofa,
rug, etc.
-- Never place a TV set in a "builtdn" enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
-- Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.
-- Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat register.
9 To avoid personal injury:
-- Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.
-- Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV set manufacturer.
-- Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.
-- Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer,

13 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.
14 A TV set and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the TV set and cart combination to overturn,

C. If the TV set has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the TV set does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions as improper adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a quali-
fied technician to restore the TV set to normal operation.
E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way.
R When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance -- this indicates a need for
service.

Getting Started
These quick setup pages will provide you, in three easy steps, with the basic information you
need to begin using your new television right away. This information includes basic instructions
on operating your remote control, making a simple cable/antenna and optional VCR connection
and, finally, information on programming your television's Auto Tuner.
If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult
other sections of this manual.
Step One -The Remote Control
The remote control is the key to operating your television's many great features. Before you
can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).
For RM-C255 and RM-C254, lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote to open. For
RM-C205, raise the latch on the remote's back cover to remove. Insert two batteries (included)
carefully noting the "+" and "-" markings, placing the '-" end in the unit first. Snap the cover
back into place.
RM-C255 and RM-C254 RM-C205 ONLY
Basic Operation
Turn the television on and off by pressing the POWERbutton at the top right corner of
the remote,
The four key feature buttons at the center of the remote can be
used for basic operation of the television. The top and bottom
buttons will scan forward an back through the available chan-
nels. The right and left buttons will turn the volume up or down.
These buttons are also marked with four arrows and are also
used with JVC's onscreen menu system. You will need to use
these buttons later in the Quick Setup.
The next step is to connect your television to an antenna or
cable.

Remote Control
Remote Control Basics
• Before you can operate the remote control, you must first
install the batteries (included). See "Changing the Batteries"
at the bottom of this page for instructions. (For an illustra-
tion, please see page 11.)
• Press the POWERbutton to turn the television on or off.
• Make sure the TV/CATV switch is set to TV. Move the switch
to CATV only if you need to operate a cable box.
• Slide the VCR/DVD selector switch to VCR to control a
VCR, slide to DVD to control a DVD player. Please see
pages 20 to 22 for instructions on programming your remote
control to
operate a Cable box, VCR or DVD player.
• Press the CH+ and CH- buttons to scan through the chan-
nels. Tap the CH+ or CH- button to move through the chan-
nels one channel at a time.
• To move rapidly through the channels using JVC's
Hyperscan feature, press and hold CH+ or CH-. The chan-
nels will zip by at a rate of five channels per second.
• Press VOL+ or Vot_- to raise or lower the volume. An indica-
tor bar will appear onscreen to show you the television vol-
ume level.
• The CH+/- and VOL+/- buttons are also used to navigate
JVC's onscreen menu system.
• You can directly access specific channels using the 10-key
pad.
• For more information on remote control button features, see
pages 43 to 48. For information on using the onscreen
menus, see page 23.
Notes: Remote control model RM-C254 is shown at the left.
A different model remote control may have come with your
television.
Changing the Batteries
For RM-C255 and RM-C254, lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote to open. For
RM-C205, Raise the latch on the remote's back cover to remove.
Insert two AA batteries (supplied), carefully noting the "+" and "-" markings on the batteries and
on the remote control. To avoid a potential short circuit, insert the "-" end first. Be sure to use
only size AA batteries. When batteries are installed, snap the cover back into place (until it
clicks into position).
• If the remote control acts erratically, replace the batteries. Typical battery life is six months to
one year. We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.
When you change the batteries, try to complete the task within three minutes. If you take
longer than three minutes, the remote control codes for your VCR, DVD, and/or Cable
Box may have to be reset, except for RM-C205 (see page 20-22).

Button Functions- PIP
PIP displays two separate pictures on screen. Your television has 2-Tuner PIP, meaning you
can view pictures from two different channels simultaneously. A special set of PIP control but-
tons are located on the upper part of the remote control Descriptions of each button appear on
this page.
The PiP feature is available on AV-36360, AV-36S36, AV-32360 and AV-32S36 models only.
Cable Box Note
The 2-Tuner PIP function may not operate when used with certain cable boxes. This is
because while some models of cable box may receive up to 181 channels, they may only send
the signal from one channel to your television (please also see diagram on page 12). For the
PIP tuner to operate correctly, it must have access to all available channels. Since the televi-
sion is receiving the signal of only one channel from the cable box, it is impossible for the 2-
Tuner PIP to display a second, different channel
Because there are many different models of cable boxes in use today, if you are having prob-
lems operating your PIP feature with your cable box, we recommend you contact your local
cable company for connection advice,
