ENGLISH
Failure to take the following precautions may cause damage to the television 
or remote control.
DO NOT block the TV’s ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be 
able to get out.)
DO NOT place anything on top of the TV.
(such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.)
DO NOT allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the TV.
DO NOT subject the TV to direct sunlight.
Pixel defects
LCDs use collections of fine points (“pixels”) to display images. While there is no problem with 
more than 99.99% of these pixels, please understand that a very small number of pixels may not 
light, or may light all the time.
Distance recommendations
Avoid improper installation and never position the unit 
where good ventilation is impossible.
When installing this TV, distance recommendations 
must be maintained between the set and the wall, as well 
as inside a tightly enclosed area or piece of furniture.
Keep to the minimum distance guidelines shown for 
safe operation.
The surface of the TV screen is easily damaged. Be very careful with it when handling the TV.
Should the TV screen become soiled, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never rub it forcefully.
Never use any cleaner or detergent on it.
If there is a fault, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself 
or remove the rear cover.200 mm 200 mm

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 2.
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.
These illustrations are for LT-Z26SX5, LT-Z32SX5 and LT-Z32SX5W. The stands for the LT-
37SX5 is different. You can only adjust the direction of the TV screen 20° to the left or right.
„Tilt the TV up and down:
While holding the bottom of the stand with one 
hand, use your other hand to hold the middle of 
the top of the TV and slowly tilt the TV up and 
down.
• As a safety measure, the stand is 
constructed so that it requires a certain 
amount of force to tilt the TV.
„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.
