== Description ==
The JVC AV-20D304 is a 20-inch CRT television from JVC's D-Series lineup, released in 2003. It is the smallest model in the late-era D-Series, using the FE2 chassis shared with the 27" models. Unlike larger D-Series, this model features a front panel headphone jack.
== Technical Details ==
=== Chassis ===
The AV-20D304 uses the '''FE2''' chassis, which is a 1-chip design shared with the 30 Series and other late D-Series models. This chassis '''cannot be RGB modded''' due to its integrated design. The component video input provides excellent quality comparable to RGB for retro gaming.
The 3-line digital comb filter provides quality composite and S-Video processing. This model includes dual S-Video inputs.


{{CRT mod
=== Tube ===
|mod_type=RGB
The AV-20D304 uses a 20" 4:3 CRT. The tube brand can be identified by the letter beside the serial number on the back of the set:
|mod_feasible=No
* '''R''' = RCA/Thomson
|mod_url=https://crtdatabase.com/crts/jvc
* '''S''' = Samsung
}}
* '''B''' = Goldstar/LG
 
=== Audio ===
The AV-20D304 uses a 1.2W × 2 stereo power amplifier with BBE High Definition Audio processing. The included headphone jack automatically mutes internal speakers when in use.
 
=== Video Status Modes ===
The AV-20D304 features three video presets: THEATER, SPORTS, and GAME. Game Mode reduces input lag for gaming applications.
 
=== Red Push ===
The 2003-2004 D-Series models with later chassis revisions have no known service menu red push fix available.
 
== Setup Tips ==
* Game Mode reduces input lag for gaming
* If component video appears in black and white, enable component in the setup menu
* Default sharpness is typically too high - adjust in user menu for optimal picture
