ance that matches that of the optional CVTS50 speaker stands, the stand includes a cradle for placement of the center speaker.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:

•The credenza stand consists of three main parts: two metal columns and a glass base. Be extremely careful in handling the fragile glass base to avoid breakage that might result in personal injury.

•The credenza stand is only intended for use with the CVPD50 plasma screen. Attempting to use the stand with any other model plasma screen or any other device is unsafe and may result in personal injury and damage to the equipment.

•The stand must be placed in a safe location, protected from young children and pets who might topple the stand, possibly resulting in serious injury. Never place the stand so that any part of it is sticking out over the edge of the credenza, table, shelf or other sur- face underneath it.

•Make certain that your credenza or other furniture is capable of supporting the weight of the CVPD50 in a stable fashion.

•If it becomes necessary to move the CVPD50 to another location, two people should carry it by holding the plasma screen. Do not attempt to carry the CVPD50 while holding it by the stand.

Each column is made up of two parts: the main column and the top foot. Using the supplied bolts, attach each foot to its col- umn, but do not fully tighten the bolts. Use a 5mm hex key (not supplied).

Carefully insert the glass base into the slot in the column, making sure to line up each column flush with the edge of the base. This will insure that the base is installed evenly for maximum stability and so that the columns will line up prop- erly with the openings on the underside of the CVPD50.

To ensure a proper fit, GENTLY place the plasma display on a carpeted floor with one end up. Make sure that the screen itself is at all times perpendicular to the floor. While one person holds the unit steady, the other person should check the fit of each column in the two openings on the underside of the unit. Loosen, move and retighten the column feet until a proper and secure fit is achieved. Then secure the columns in their openings using the two supplied hex bolts and the same 5mm hex wrench you used to attach the feet to the columns.

This method is preferable to placing the stand on the credenza and lowering the plasma display onto it, which may cause the installers to place the display’s weight unevenly on the columns for a moment, causing the glass base to snap, which may result in personal injury.

It is the responsibility of the person installing the display to properly and securely mount the credenza stand to the plasma display.

Two people may now right the CVPD50 and carefully place it in the desired loca- tion. Do not lean the CVPD50 on the stand while righting it, as this will cause the glass to snap, possibly resulting in personal injury. Carry the assembly by holding the bottom and sides of the CVPD50 plasma display itself, not by holding the stand.

After the video cable has been connected to the CVPD50 as described below, and after the speaker wire has been connected to the CVCEN50 speaker as described in its owner’s manual, you may carefully place the CVCEN50 speaker in the cradle below the screen formed by the two top feet of the credenza stand. The bottom of the grille will fit snugly behind the two stops at the front of the top feet.

Important Information About the CVPD50 Plasma Display

Your new JBL Cinema Vision CVPD50 high-definition plasma display is capable

of opening a new world of video enjoy- ment with sharpness and beauty far beyond any television you have ever owned. As this may be the first plasma display device you have ever owned, it is important to be aware of some unique properties of this technology.

A plasma display works by using a grid containing millions of “cells”, each filled with phosphorous that glows in red, green or blue when it receives an electri- cal charge. The charge is supplied by a wired grid that allows the video process- ing logic to pinpoint each individual cell to determine whether or not to turn it “on”. The cells are sandwiched by glass plates that seal the phosphorous in place. The combination of cells, known as pixels in video display terminology, when prop- erly functioning can present a color pic- ture with incredibly high resolution.

Given its construction, the CVPD50 is very fragile, and requires extreme care in han- dling. Once installed, it’s easy to use, although there are a few points for you to be aware of.

1.It is possible for a phenomenon known as “burn-in” to occur when the phos- phorous cells remain turned on for too long a stretch of time. This is liable to occur when a still image, such as a menu screen or even the CVPD50’s own start-up screen, remains on screen for more than a few minutes. In order to protect against burn-in, the CVPD50’s screen saver will be activated after it detects 2 minutes of no move- ment on screen. It is not possible to disable the screen saver.

However, the screen saver does not function for the DVI source. Therefore, it is crucial that you set your source device to activate its screen saver after 2 minutes of inactivity on screen, par- ticularly if you are using the CVPD50 with your computer, where an image such as a spreadsheet may remain on screen for a long period of time.

Burn-in is also of concern when you are listening to audio CDs, which have no visual information so that the CVPD50’s start-up screen remains on. You may wish to activate the Screen Standby function, which places the screen in standby mode, by pressing the Screen Selector e 34 followed by the

Screen Standby Button Y 19 . Press the button again to restore the video display.
