Quick Setup

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. If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult other sections of this manual.

Step 1 – The Remote Control

Before you can operate your remote control, you first need to install the batteries (included).

Slide the cover on the back of the remote down towards the bottom of the remote control. Insert two batteries (included) carefully noting the “+” and “–” markings, placing the “–” end in the unit first. Slide the cover back into place.

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/satellite receiver may have to be reset. See pages 27 - 30.

Key Feature Buttons

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 and back through the available channels. To move rapidly through the channels using

JVC’s Hyperscan feature, press and hold CH+ or CH–. The channels will zip by at a rate of five channels per second. The right and left buttons will turn the volume up or down. These buttons are also marked with four arrows and are used with JVC’s onscreen menu system. To use the onscreen menus, press the MENU button.
