Remote Control
• Before you can operate the remote control, you must first
install the batteries (included). See “Changing the Batteries”
at the bottom of this page for instructions. (For an illustration,
please see page 11.)
• Press the P
OWER button to turn the television on or off.
• Make sure the TV/CATV switch is set to TV. Move the switch
to CATV only if you need to operate a cable box.
• Slide the VCR/DVD selector switch to VCR to control a VCR,
slide to DVD to control a DVD player. Please see pages 20
to 22 for instructions on programming your remote control to
operate a Cable box, VCR or DVD player.
• Press the CH+ and CH- buttons to scan through the chan-
nels. Tap the CH+ or CH- button to move through the chan-
nels one channel at a time.
• To move rapidly through the channels using JVC’s
Hyperscan feature, press and hold CH+ or CH-. The chan-
nels will zip by at a rate of five channels per second.
• Press V
OL+or VOL - to raise or lower the volume. An indica-
tor bar will appear onscreen to show you the television vol-
ume level.
• The CH+/- and V
OL+/- buttons are also used to navigate
JVC’s onscreen menu system.
• You can directly access specific channels using the 10-key
pad.
• For more information on remote control button features, see
pages 43 to 48. For information on using the onscreen
menus, see page 23.
Changing the Batteries
For RM-C255 and RM-C254, lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote to open. For
RM-C205, Raise the latch on the remote’s back cover to remove.
Insert two AA batteries (supplied), carefully noting the "+" and "-" markings on the batteries and
on the remote control. To avoid a potential short circuit, insert the "-" end first. Be sure to use
only size AA batteries. When batteries are installed, snap the cover back into place (until it
clicks into position).
• If the remote control acts erratically, replace the batteries. Typical battery life is six months to
one year. We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.
When you change the batteries, try to complete the task within three minutes. If you take
longer than three minutes, the remote control codes for your VCR, DVD, and/or Cable
Box may have to be reset, except for RM-C205 (see page 20-22).
