• Disabling Red Push on 2002 JVC D-Series AV-XXDX03

Notes

The Toshiba jungle chip this set uses has a digital OSD so an RGB mod is not possible. That's not a problem, however, as the picture quality is excellent once you dial it in!

To disable red push, go into the service menu and set option "NTSC MAT" to 0. Be aware that this is not just one universal setting to adjust, but rather is saved separately for different inputs, picture modes, and color temperatures. To disable for all combinations, see full instructions under Mods & Repair Guides. Now there may still be some boosting of the reds and blues depending on the video status and color temperature that is selected; adjusting the color saturation in the standard menu until those tones look normal may be desired. Performing a white balance can be done in the service menu. After tweaking contrast and brightness as well as turning sharpness down, the resulting image will look just like a giant arcade monitor.

There were three tube models used in this set, and the letter beside the serial number designated who the tube maker was; Thomson-RCA (R), Toshiba (Y), and Matsushita/Panasonic (M). While the suffixes to the serial number on the back label indicate who the tube manufacturer was, the picture quality of a set is determined by evaluating the picture itself and NOT by simply checking the suffix on the back label.

There is a 3-position vertical position switch internally at the rear of the main PCB; the left-most position is the lowest vertical position and the right-most position is the highest.
