Description

The JVC AV-27230 is a 27-inch CRT television from JVC's 30 Series lineup, released around 2001. It features 600 lines of horizontal resolution and shares the same tube (Thomson A68ADT25X01) and chassis as JVC's D-Series models but in a smaller footprint with bottom-mounted speakers.

RGB Modification

This model is RGB moddable via mux method. Models with serial numbers ending in 'R' use an RCA Thomson A68ADT25X01 tube. The mod instructions also work for other JVC models with Toshiba chroma ICs.

 == RGB Modification ==
-The JVC AV-27230 is confirmed to be RGB moddable. This model features an exceptional tube with impressive geometry, and unlike earlier JVC D-Series models (e.g., AV-27D201), there are no distracting funhouse scrolling problems. The modification uses an RGB mux board, with precalculated resistor values available for optimal results.
+This model is RGB moddable via mux method. Models with serial numbers ending in 'R' use an RCA Thomson A68ADT25X01 tube. The mod instructions also work for other JVC models with Toshiba chroma ICs.
-Models with serial numbers ending in 'R' use an RCA Thomson A68ADT25X01 tube. The RGB mod instructions for this model should also work for other JVC models with Toshiba chroma ICs.
-'''Warning:''' CRT modifications involve potentially lethal high voltages (20,000+ V). Only experienced technicians should attempt these modifications.
