light, or may light all the time.

Setting up your TV
• When you install the TV on the wall, only use a JVC wall mounting unit (optional) which is 
designed for this TV.
• Make sure that the TV is installed on the wall by a skilled installer.
Installation
Cautions for installation
• Install the TV in a corner on a wall or on the floor so as to keep cords out of the way.
• The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient space is 
available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling. See “Distance recommendations” on 
page 1.
Using the stand
This TV comes with a table top stand already attached.
This stand can be used to adjust the direction of the TV screen 5° up, 10° down, and 20° to the left 
or right.
„Rotate the TV to the left and right:
While holding the bottom of the stand with one 
hand, use your other hand to hold the edge of 
the panel and slowly adjust the direction of the 
TV screen.
„Cable holder
A cable holder which is used to keep the connection cables tidy is attached to the back of the 
stand. Gently squeeze the left and right of the cable holder and pull it to remove it from the stand. 
After putting the cables in the cable holder, attach it to the back of the stand again.
