Frequently Asked Questions - AV28X4SR JVC

How do I set up the TV for the first time?

Press the main power button on the TV. The JVC logo appears. Follow on-screen instructions: select language (English), then AUTO PROGRAM to automatically store channels. If using a T-V LINK VCR, follow additional steps. If needed, use EDIT/MANUAL to adjust channel settings.

Why is there no picture or sound?

Check if the mains plug is connected and the TV is turned on (power lamp lit). If the screen is blue, the BLUE BACK function may be active due to weak signal; set BLUE BACK to OFF in the FEATURES menu. Also ensure headphones are not connected, as they mute the speakers.

How can I improve picture quality?

Use the PICTURE SETTING menu: adjust CONTRAST, BRIGHT, SHARP, COLOUR, and HUE. Enable DIGITAL VNR to reduce noise (AUTO recommended). Use DigiPure Pro for sharper edges and motion compensation. Select appropriate COLOUR SYSTEM (PAL for most broadcasts) if colors are missing.

What ZOOM modes are available and how do I use them?

Press ZOOM button repeatedly to cycle through modes: AUTO (automatic), REGULAR (4:3), PANORAMIC, 14:9 ZOOM, 16:9 ZOOM, 16:9 ZOOM SUBTITLE, and FULL. Use ▼/▲ to select and OK to confirm. In some modes you can adjust the vertical position using ▼/▲ after pressing OK.

How do I connect external devices like a DVD player or game console?

Use the SCART (EXT-1,2,3) or RCA/S-Video (EXT-4) inputs on the back. For S-Video devices, set S-IN (S-VIDEO input) to ON in EXT SETTING. Press AV button to select the EXT terminal. Ensure the device is powered on and outputting a signal.

Can I use the TV with a T-V LINK compatible VCR?

Yes, connect the VCR to EXT-2 using a fully wired SCART cable. T-V LINK features include Pre-set Download (auto channel transfer), Direct Rec (record what you see), and TV auto power on when VCR plays. Make sure the VCR is powered on during setup.

How do I set the Child Lock to block certain channels?

Go to FEATURES > CHILD LOCK. Press 0 (AV) button to set a 4-digit ID number. Then select the channel to lock and press blue button to toggle lock. To view a locked channel, enter the ID when prompted. To cancel, repeat the process and press blue button again.

What should I do if the remote control stops working?

Replace the batteries (AAA/R03) with new ones, ensuring correct polarity. Use the remote within 7 meters of the TV’s front sensor. If the TV does not respond, press the main power button on the TV to turn it off and on again. Also, check if you are in teletext mode (press TV button).

How do I clean the TV screen safely?

Turn off the TV and unplug it. Gently wipe the screen with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any cleaners, detergents, or water. Never rub forcefully. For the cabinet, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry.

The TV makes a crackling sound or the picture tilts. Is this normal?

A crackling sound can occur due to sudden temperature changes and is usually normal. If frequent, have it inspected. Picture tilt caused by Earth's magnetic field can be corrected via PICTURE TILT in the PICTURE SETTING menu (only for AV-32X4SK/SR models; for AV-28X4SR, adjust using the menu if available). If not, keep magnetic devices away.

1 Press the main power button on the TV

The power lamp lights and the JVC logo appears.

- For UK model

(AV-32X4SK/AV-28X4SK):

BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 are automatically set to the programme numbers PR1 to PR5. If the TV doesn't receive one of these TV channels, that programme number (PR) will not be set. Programme number PR6 is not normally set.

- For Ireland model

(AV-32X4SR/AV-28X4SR):

If your TV can detect the TV channel name from the TV channel broadcast signal, the TV channel name is assigned to the programme number (PR) to which the TV channel has been set. However, which TV channels are set to which programme numbers (PR) will depend on the area in which you live.

• If a TV channel you want to view is not set to a programme number (PR), you can set it using the MANUAL function. For details, see “EDIT/MANUAL” on page 31.
• The AUTO PROGRAM function does not set the programme number PR 0 (AV) for your video cassette recorder. You will need to set this using the MANUAL function.
• In some areas you may get TV reception from more than one transmitter, for example different ITV regions. In this case each TV channel could be set twice. If this happens, the first set of channels will have the stronger signal. If you want to delete the second set of channels, you will have to do it manually (see page 34).

T-V LINK functions

When you have a T-V LINK compatible VCR connected to the EXT-2 Terminal on the TV, it is easier to set up the VCR and to view videos. T-V LINK uses the following features:

To use T-V LINK functions:

A “T-V LINK compatible VCR” means a JVC video cassette recorder with the T-V LINK logo, or with one of the following logos. However, these VCRs may support some or all of the features described earlier. For details, see your VCR instruction manual.

“Q-LINK” (a trademark of Panasonic Corporation)

“Data Logic” (a trademark of Metz Corporation)

“Easy Link” (a trademark of Phillips Corporation)

“Megalogic” (a trademark of Grundig Corporation)

“SMARTLINK” (a trademark of Sony Corporation).

■ Pre-set download

The VCR will automatically download the registered data on the TV channels from the TV. This means you do not need to set up the program channels on your VCR manually. The preset download function automatically begins when the initial setting is complete or whenever you carry out the AUTO PROGRAM or EDIT/MANUAL functions.

You can also carry out this function using your VCR controls.

When "FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE" is displayed:

If “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed, the download was not performed correctly. Before trying to download again, check that:

• the VCR power is turned on
• the VCR is T-V LINK compatible
- the VCR is connected to the EXT-2 terminal
• the SCART cable is fully wired.

■ Direct Rec

“What You See Is What You Record”

You can easily record to VCR the images that you are watching on the TV.

For details, read the manual for your VCR. Use your VCR controls. "VCR IS RECORDING" is displayed.

In the following situations, the VCR will stop recording if the TV is turned off, if the TV channel or input is changed, or if the menu is displayed on the TV:

• when recording images from an external device connected to the TV (for example a camcorder)
• when recording a TV channel after it has been unscrambled on a decoder
• when recording a TV channel by using the TV's output because the VCR's own tuner cannot properly receive that channel.

When the VCR is not ready (for example when there is no tape inserted), “NO RECORDING” is displayed.

You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your TV's control.

Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV channel that it cannot receive properly on its own tuner, even if you can view that TV channel on the TV. However, some VCRs can record a TV channel by using the TV's output if that channel can be viewed on the TV. For details, see your VCR instruction manual.

■ TV auto power on/VCR image view

When the VCR starts playing, the TV automatically turns on and the images from the EXT-2 terminal appear on the screen.

When the VCR menu is operated, the TV automatically turns on and the images from the EXT-2 terminal appear on the screen.

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the amount of 'noise' ('snow' or interference) in the original picture.

You can choose from the three DIGITAL VNR function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

The TV and external input may be given different DIGITAL VNR settings.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of the DIGITAL VNR effect to match the amount of noise in the picture, giving you the best possible picture.

- If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too high it can make the picture less sharp. It is recommended to use the AUTO setting if you can.

MIN:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the minimum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO but feel that the sharpness of the original picture has not been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO to MIN.

- The MIN setting is not suitable for low-quality pictures which contain a lot of noise.

MAX:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the maximum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO to MAX.

- The MAX setting is not suitable for high-quality pictures which contain very little noise.

OFF:

The DIGITAL VNR function is turned off.

DigiPure Pro

The DigiPure Pro function uses the latest in digital technology to give you a natural-looking picture.

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a natural-looking picture by eliminating unnecessary edges from high-contrast and crisp images. For images with low-contrast, edges are added to produce a sharper, more detailed picture. You can choose from the three DigiPure function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX. The TV and external input may be given different DigiPure settings.

- If you set the DigiPure effect too high on a low-quality picture that contains a lot of noise, this may actually make the noise worse. We recommend you use the AUTO setting if you can.

Picture motion compensation function:

Using the ACI function

This TV has an ACI function which decodes the ACI (Automatic Channel Installation) data.

Using the ACI function allows all TV channels transmitted from the cable TV station to be properly registered quickly according to the data from the cable TV station.

Caution

- If your cable TV station broadcasts ACI data and if “ACI START/ACI SKIP” appears in the AUTO PROGRAM menu, the ACI function is enabled. In all other cases, it is disabled.

1 Press the ▼▲ buttons to choose ACI START. Then press the OK button to start the ACI function

When you don't want to use the ACI function:

Press the ▼/▲ buttons to choose ACI SKIP and then press the OK button.

If the AUTO PROGRAM menu changes to another menu:

Depending on your cable TV station, there may be a broadcast selection menu set up by the cable TV station.

Follow the menu and use the ◀/▶ and ▼/▲ buttons. After you have made the setting, press the OK button.

If "ACI ERROR" is displayed in the AUTO PROGRAM menu:

“ACI ERROR” means that the ACI function is not working properly. Press the OK button to start the ACI function again.

If “ACI ERROR” still appears even after you have tried to start the ACI function several times, press the ▶ button to start the AUTO PROGRAM function. It does not cause any problem because all the TV channels are registered to the Programme numbers (PR) by the AUTO PROGRAM function.

2 When the settings are completed, the EDIT menu is displayed. Return to the instructions that you were reading before, and continue the operation.

When the "Initial settings" have been made:

Return to step 5 of “Initial settings” on page 8.

When the "AUTO PROGRAM" has finished:

Return to step 3 of "AUTO PROGRAM" on page 31.

• If you have any questions about the items in the Broadcast Selection menu or how to operate the menu, please contact your cable TV station.
• When the cable TV broadcast reception is poor, the ACI function will not work properly.
• If there is an error in the ACI data itself, the TV channel cannot be registered properly. If this happens, turn the ACI function off (ACI SKIP) and use the AUTO PROGRAM function. Or, use the EDIT/MANUAL function to correct the Programme number (PR) setting.

Downloading data to a VCR

You can send the latest programme numbers (PR) data to a VCR with the T-V LINK function.

• You can only do this when a T-V LINK compatible VCR is connected to the EXT-2 terminal.
• This only works when the T-V LINK menu is being displayed.

1 Turn on the VCR

2 Press the OK button

The data transmission begins.

The T-V LINK menu disappears once the data transmission ends.

When the T-V LINK menu changes over to another menu:

The TV has finished its menu. This new menu is operated from the VCR. See the VCR instruction manual for what to do next.

If "FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE" appears at the T-V LINK menu, check the following three items.

• Has a T-V LINK compatible VCR been connected to the EXT-2 terminal?
• Has the VCR power been turned on?
• Does the SCART cable that connects the EXT-2 terminal to the T-V LINK compatible VCR have all its proper connections?

Then press the OK button to retry data transmission.

Using the DECODER (EXT-2) function

If you have a decoder connected to a T-V LINK compatible VCR, which in turn is connected to the EXT-2 terminal, use the DECODER (EXT-2) function to unscramble the scrambled TV channels.

1 Turn on the decoder power

2 Display the scrambled TV channel on the TV

Even if the decoder is working, a scrambled picture appears.

3 Press the OK button to display the MENU

The MENU (main menu) appears.

4 Press the ▼/▲ buttons to choose FEATURES. Then press the OK button

The FEATURES menu appears.

5 Press the ▼/▲ buttons to choose DECODER (EXT-2). Then press the ◀/▶ buttons to choose ON

An unscrambled picture appears.

To cancel the DECODER (EXT-2) function:

Press the ◀/▶ buttons to choose OFF.

6 Press the OK button to complete the setting

The T-V LINK menu appears.

7 Follow "Downloading data to a VCR" on page 36 to transmit the programme number (PR) data to the VCR

8 If you have another TV channel you want to unscramble using a decoder, repeat steps 2 to 7

If the DECODER (EXT-2) function has been set to “ON” but the TV channel cannot be unscrambled, check the following:

• Has the decoder been connected to the VCR properly according to the VCR and decoder instruction manuals?
• Has the decoder power been turned on?
• Can the TV channel be unscrambled with a decoder?
• Do you need to change the VCR settings in order to connect the decoder? Confirm that the VCR is set properly by rechecking the VCR Instruction manual.

Connecting external equipment

Connect the equipment to the TV, making the correct rear panel and front panel connections.

Before connecting anything:

• Read the manuals that came with the equipment.
  Depending on the equipment, the connection method may be different from the diagram. Also, the equipment settings may need to change depending on the connection method.
• Turn off all the equipment including the TV.
• The “Specifications” on the back cover give the details of the EXT terminals. If you are connecting equipment not listed in the following connection diagram, see the table to choose the best EXT terminal.
• Connecting cables are not supplied.
• If the VCR's audio output is in mono, connect the VCR's AUDIO OUT (audio output) terminal and the TV's EXT-4 AUDIO L/MONO terminal with an audio cable.

■ Equipment which can output the S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) such as an S-VHS VCR

Connect the equipment to an EXT terminal (but not the EXT-1 terminal).

You can choose between an S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) and a regular video signal (composite signal). For details of how to operate the equipment, see “S-IN (S-VIDEO input)” on page 26.

■ T-V LINK compatible VCR

Be sure to connect the T-V LINK compatible VCR to the EXT-2 terminal. If not, the T-V LINK function will not work properly.

- When connecting a T-V LINK compatible VCR to the EXT-2 terminal, be sure to connect the decoder to the VCR. If not, the T-V LINK function may not work properly. After you have stored TV channels in the programme numbers (PR) list, set the DECODER (EXT-2) function for the programme number (PR) to ON to unscramble a scrambled TV channel. For details, see “Using the DECODER (EXT-2) function” on page 36.

■ Connecting headphones

Connect the headphones with a stereo mini-jack (3.5 mm diameter) to the headphone jack at the TV rear panel.

- When you connect the headphones, the TV speakers go off.

■ Video or sound signal output from the EXT-2 terminal

You can change over the output of the video/sound signal from the EXT-2 terminal. This is useful when you want to dub the video/sound from another device onto the VCR connected to the EXT-2 terminal. For details on how to do this, see “DUBBING” on page 27.

■ TV output from the EXT-1 terminal

The video/sound signal of a TV channel you are viewing is always output from the EXT-1 terminal.

• Changing over a programme number (PR) also changes over the TV output from the EXT-1 terminal.
• The video/sound signal from an EXT terminal cannot be output.
• Teletext programmes cannot be output.

■ Connecting speakers amplifier

See the audio equipment connection diagram and connect the audio equipment to the TV. You can use external front speakers to listen to the TV sound instead of the TV speakers.

Before connecting anything:

• Read the manuals provided with the amplifier and speakers.
• Turn the TV and amplifier off.
  • To prevent magnetism from the speakers adversely affecting the TV screen, use magnetically-shielded speakers for the front speakers.
• Note that connecting cables are not supplied.

1 Amplifier
2 Front speakers (Magnetic-shielded type)

• The output from the AUDIO OUT terminal is not interrupted by connecting headphones to the TV. You cannot cut the sound from the front speaker even if you connect a headphone to the TV.
• Adjust the volume of the external speakers with the amplifier.

If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this troubleshooting guide carefully before you ask to have the TV repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the mains plug is disconnected from the mains outlet, or the TV aerial has problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.

Important:

• This troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose causes are not easy to decide. If you have a question when you are operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully, not this troubleshooting guide.
• If you follow the advice in this troubleshooting guide without any success, unplug the mains plug and ask for your TV to be repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or to remove the rear cover of the TV.

■ If you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the mains plug connected to the mains outlet?
• Is the power lamp lit? If not, press the main power button.

■ No picture or no sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel with very poor reception? If so, the BLUE BACK function will be activated: the entire screen becomes blue, and the sound is muted. If you still want to view the TV channel, follow the description “BLUE BACK” on page 28 to try to change the BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.
• Have you connected headphones to the TV?

Connecting headphones to the TV turns off the TV speakers.

■ Poor picture

- If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture, there may be a problem with the aerial or aerial cable. Check the following to try to solve the problem:

• Have the TV and aerial been connected properly?
• Has the aerial cable been damaged?
  – Is the aerial pointing in the right direction?

• Is the aerial itself faulty?

• If the TV or aerial suffers interference from other equipment, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move any equipment such as an amplifier, personal computer, or a hair drier, that can cause interference away from your TV. Or try moving the TV. If the aerial suffers interference from a radio tower or high-voltage wire, please contact your local dealer.

• If the TV suffers interference from signals reflecting from mountains or buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will occur. Try to change the aerial's direction or replace it with one with better directionality.
• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings correct? Follow the description “COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 22 to try to solve the trouble.
• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted properly? Follow the description “Picture adjustment” on page 20 to try to adjust them properly.
• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may not record correctly.
• When a white and bright still image (such as a white dress) is displayed on the screen, the white part may look as if it is coloured. This is unavoidable due to the nature of the picture tube itself, and not due to a TV failure. When the picture disappears from the screen, the unnatural colours will also disappear.
• When viewing images from commercially available video software products, or videos from videotapes which have been recorded improperly, the top of the image may be distorted. This is due to the condition of the video signal. There is nothing wrong with the TV.

■ Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow the description “Sound adjustment” on page 24.
• When TV channel reception is poor, it can be hard to hear stereo or bilingual sound. In this case, follow the description “STEREO / I • II” on page 24 to hear the sound more easily by changing it to a mono sound.

■ If the TV does not respond to the remote control

• Have the batteries of the remote control worn out? Follow the description “Putting the batteries into the remote control” on page 7 and replace them with new batteries.
• Have you attempted to use the remote control from the sides or rear of the TV or from more than seven metres away from the TV? Use the remote control in the front of your TV or from less than seven metres away.
• When you are viewing a teletext programme, you cannot operate the menus. Press the TV button to return to the ordinary TV programme, and then try operating the menus.
• If the TV will not respond suddenly, press the main power button on the TV and turn off the main power. Press the main power button again to turn on the TV. If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.

■ Other issues

• When the SLEEP TIMER function operates, the TV is automatically turned off. If the TV is turned off suddenly, try to press the ⏻/l (standby) button to turn on the TV once again. If the TV goes back to normal, there is no problem.

• When the TV is receiving a wide-screen signal (WSS) or a signal from an external device affecting the screen size, the ZOOM mode automatically changes. When you want to resume the previous ZOOM mode, press the ZOOM button again.

• If you bring a magnetised equipment such as a speaker near to your TV, the picture may be warped or unnatural colours now appear at the corners of the screen. In this case, keep the equipment away from your TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use magnetic-shielded speakers instead.

• A picture may be tilted due to the earth's own magnetic field. If so, use the "PICTURE TILT (Only for AV-32X4SK/AV-32X4SR)" on page 23 to correct the tilt.
• It takes a short period of time from the time an operation such as changing channels is performed until an image is displayed. This is not a malfunction. This is the time required for the image to stabilize before it can be displayed.
• The TV may make a crackling sound due to a sudden change in temperature. The picture or sound may be normal. If you hear crackling sounds frequently while you are viewing the TV, there may be other causes. As a precaution, ask your service technician to inspect it.
• Touching the screen may cause you to feel a slight electric shock due to its static electricity. This is unavoidable due to the construction of the picture tube. It is not a problem with the TV. You can rest assured that this static discharge is not harmful.
