Notes

Display

• According to JVC, this TV has 800 lines of "Horizontal Resolution". However, because the D-Series are known to have several different types of tube manufacturers (even within the exact same models), your mileage may vary.
  • JVC's advertised "Horizontal Resolution" measurement is considered to be 33% higher than the TVL of the screen. This is because JVC did not take into account the 4:3 nature of the screen with this measurement. Combine that with the different tube manufactures fact, and one might take the "Horizontal Resolution" measurement with a grain of salt.
• The Digital 2-Line Comb Filter isn't as good as the 3-Line Comb Filter found in later models of the D-Series. Because of that, Composite and RF may look worse in comparison.
• 32" and 36" D-Series have darker tube tints than the smaller versions, leading to improved contrast in lighter environments.

Inputs

• The A/V input can be changed using the Menu button on the front panel, but a dedicated Input button on the remote makes it more convenient.
  • Input 1 is a shared S-Video/Composite input on the rear, with S-Video priority (Composite will not work even if your S-Video signal source is turned off).
  • Input 2 is either a Component input or a Composite input, on the rear. The "Component-In" toggle option in the menu determines which connection will be active.
  • Input 3 is a single Composite input on the front.

Sound

• Two 5W front firing stereo speakers.
• "BBE High Definition Audio" and "Hyper Surround" makes the D-Series sound better than JVC's lower end consumer TV offerings at the time.
• The audio out RCA jacks on the rear support both Fixed and Variable audio (toggled in the menu).
