Frequently Asked Questions - LT-37X987 JVC

How do I connect an external antenna or cable to my JVC LT-37X987?
Use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna or cable outlet to the 'VHF/UHF/ATSC/DIGITAL CABLE IN' connector on the back of the TV. Ensure the connection is secure. Then, run the Auto Tuner Setup from the onscreen menu to scan for available channels.
How do I program the remote control to operate my cable box or satellite receiver?
Slide the TV/CATV switch to CATV. Press and hold the DISPLAY button, then enter the first code from the cable box code list using the number pad. Release DISPLAY and test the remote. If it doesn't work, try the next code or use the search codes function by pressing POWER and RETURN+/TV simultaneously.
Why is there no picture or sound?
First, check that the power cord is plugged in and the TV is turned on. Ensure the antenna or cable connection is secure. Verify that the input source is correctly selected (e.g., TV, Input-1). If using an external device, make sure it is powered on and connected properly. Try running Auto Tuner Setup again if channels are missing.
How do I set the clock on my TV?
Press MENU, go to CLOCK/TIMERS, then SET CLOCK. Choose AUTO to use the XDS time signal from broadcast stations, or MANUAL to set the time yourself. If using AUTO, select your time zone and set Daylight Saving Time ON or OFF. If MANUAL, adjust hours, minutes, and time zone.
What are the V-Chip features and how do I block inappropriate content?
V-Chip allows you to block programs based on US TV ratings, Canadian ratings, or movie ratings (MPAA). Press MENU, go to INITIAL SETUP, then V-CHIP. Turn V-Chip ON, then set ratings limits for each category. You can also block unrated programs. A lock code (default 0000) prevents unauthorized changes.
How can I connect my DVD player or game console to the TV?
Use the appropriate cables: composite (yellow video + red/white audio) for standard devices, component (green, blue, red video + audio) for better quality, or HDMI for digital video and audio. Connect to the corresponding inputs on the back or side of the TV. Select the correct input source using the INPUT button on the remote.
The picture has double images (ghosting). What can I do?
Ghosting is often caused by signal reflection from buildings or other objects. Try adjusting your antenna position, direction, or height. If using an indoor antenna, move it closer to a window. A coaxial cable connection is less prone to interference than twin-lead wire.
How do I enable closed captioning?
Press the C.C. button on the remote. For analog channels, go to MENU > INITIAL SETUP > CLOSED CAPTION > MODE > CAPTION, then select CC1 to CC4. For digital channels, set Type to Auto, Advanced, or Basic, then choose a Service (1-6). You can also customize font size, style, and colors.
What should I do if the remote control stops working?
First, check the batteries: replace them if needed, ensuring correct polarity. Remove any obstacles between the remote and the TV. Verify the TV/CATV switch is in the correct position. If still not working, reset the remote by removing batteries and pressing all buttons for 3 seconds, then reinsert batteries.
How do I clean the TV screen and cabinet?
For the cabinet, unplug the TV and wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use a mild detergent for stubborn spots. For the screen, use a soft, dry cloth. If very dirty, dampen the cloth with a diluted kitchen cleaner and wring thoroughly, then wipe and dry immediately. Do not use alcohol, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

Warnings

We have an important note for customers who subscribe to basic cable services (do not have a separate cable box) and plan to use their JVC TV remote control to select channels.

Once you run the Auto Tuner Setup (which detects and programs all the channels your TV is receiving through the RF input), every channel number available from your cable company will appear in your television's Channel Summary and they will all be marked as available for scanning. Even though every channel is detected and appears as available, you will only be able to view those that you specifically subscribe to from your cable company. This will likely mean there are blank channels between those channels you wish to scan or "surf".

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it is important to note that this is not a malfunction of your television. If you want to sequentially scan those channels you subscribe to without blank ones in between, you can contact your cable company for their cable box and remote.

Avoiding Ghost Images

Displaying fixed images for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but temporary ghost image on your screen. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern.

Examples include, but are not limited to the following:

• Stock-market report bars
- Shopping channel logos and pricing displays
• Video game patterns or scoreboards
- Bright station logos
- Internet web sites or other computer-style images.
• DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs
- Broadcast, cable, satellite channels or digital television tuners/converters.

For example...
TV on TV off XYZ XYZ

Warnings (Continued...)

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

The screen is treated with an electrostatic-proof coating. When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. If the screen is very dirty, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in a diluted kitchen cleaner and thoroughly wrung-out. Then wipe immediately after with a clean, dry 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.

Do not push or hit the screen. This could cause scratches on the screen surface and image distortions.

Quick Setup

Connecting to an HDMI Compatible Device

By connecting an HDMI compatible device, high definition pictures can be displayed on your TV in their digital form. Some HDMI devices can include DVD players, D-VHS or other HDMI compatible device.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry supported, uncompressed, all digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, A/V receiver or an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).

TV Rear Panel HDMI Compatible Device DIGITAL OUT AUDIO OUT L R HDMI Cable

1) Connect the HDMI Cable from the DIGITAL OUT on the back of your DTV or HDMI device to the DIGITAL-IN on the back of your television.

Notes:

  • When you do the above connection, set DIGITAL-IN1 AUDIO in the Initial Setup menu to DIGITAL. See "DIGITAL-IN1 AUDIO", page 52.
  • Some decoders may not respond depending on the equipment that you have connected when it is connected to the HDMI.
  • If the HDMI output device signal is changed (for example, 480i/60Hz is changed to 480p/60Hz), the screen may turn green and there may be some distortion for a short time until the signal becomes stable.
  • When you have an HDMI device connected to the HDMI 1 connection on the back of your TV, your TV detects it, and blocks the analog audio signal coming into the "FOR HDMI 1" jacks. Therefore, you can not hear any analog sound from the other device connected to the "FOR HDMI 1" jacks, while you are viewing the images from the HDMI device.

Quick Setup

Step 3 – The Interactive Plug In Menu

When you turn your television on for the first time the interactive plug-in menu will appear. The plug-in menu helps you to get your TV ready to use by letting you set your preferences for:

  • The language in which you want the onscreen menus to appear.
  • Setting the TV's clock to the correct time so your timer functions will work properly. You can choose "AUTO" or "MANUAL" for setting the clock.
  • The auto tuner setup of which channels you wish to receive.

We recommend you complete the interactive plug-in items before you start using your television.

Notes:

  • The interactive plug-in menu setting does not appear if your TV has been turned on before. In this case use the onscreen menus to perform these settings. See pages 44, 60 and 34.
  • If you press the Menu button while setting up the interactive plug-in menu, it will skip over it.

Language

After the “JVC INTERACTIVE PLUG IN MENU” has been displayed, the TV automatically switches to the LANGUAGE settings. You can choose to view your onscreen menus in three languages: English, French (Français) or Spanish (Español).

Auto Clock Set

Before you use any of your TV's timer functions, you must first set the clock. You may precisely set your clock using the XDS time signal broadcast by most public analog broadcasting stations. If you do not have this in your area, you will have to set the clock manually. See manual clock set below. To set the clock using the XDS signal:

SET CLOCK MODE (AUTO) TIME -- :-- -- TIME ZONE (ATLANTIC) D.S.T. (ON) NEXT SELECT OPERATE MENU EXIT

◀▶To select your time zone: (Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska or Hawaii)
To move to D.S.T. (Daylight Savings Time)
◀▶To turn D.S.T. ON or OFF
To NEXT (To Auto Tuner Setup)

Notes:

• D.S.T. can be used when it is set to ON in the SET CLOCK menu.
- Only when the MODE is set to AUTO, the Daylight Saving Time feature automatically adjusts your TV's clock for Daylight Saving.
- The real time and D.S.T. may not be set correctly depending on the broadcasting signal and receiving conditions. In this case, set your clock manually.
- You will have to reset the clock after a power interruption. You must set the clock before operating any timer functions.

Manual Clock Set

To set your clock manually (without using the XDS signal), choose MANUAL. If you choose AUTO, see auto clock set above.

Quick Setup

Auto Tuner Setup

In auto tuner setup, the TV automatically scans through all available channels, memorizing the active ones and skipping over blank ones or channels with weak signals. This means when you scan (using the CHANNEL +/- buttons) you will receive only clear, active channels.

V-Chip

Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which enables you to block channels or content that you feel to be inappropriate for children, based on US and Canada rating guidelines. V-Chip has no effect on video signals from DVD discs or Camcorder connection.

Note: Some programs, and movies are broadcast without a ratings signal. Even if you set up V-CHIP ratings limits, these programs will not be blocked. See page 38 for information on how to block unrated programs.

Note (for Canadian viewers): The V-Chip function is based on specifications designed for the United States and therefore may not work properly in Canada.

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 (for programming broadcast from the United States), Canadian V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from Canada), and movie ratings. You may use any or all of the settings (US V-Chip, Canada V-Chip, Movie ratings). Descriptions for setting each of the three V-Chip formats appear in the next six pages along with descriptions of the rating categories.

☐ 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.

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 grayscale is often lost, turning completely to black DGC automatically enhances the detail in these dark areas providing a more dynamic image with finer detail, so the optimum picture settings are automatically set for each picture. Normally use with DGC on.
