== Description ==

The JVC AV-27D202 is a 27-inch CRT television from JVC's D-Series lineup, released ~~around~~ 2001. ~~The~~ D-Series ~~was renowned for its excellent picture quality and comprehensive feature set~~.

The JVC AV-27D202 is a 27-inch CRT television from JVC's D-Series lineup, released in 2001. This middle-era D-Series model uses the GE chassis with the Toshiba TB1253AN jungle IC.

== ~~Design~~ ==

The D-Series was renowned for its excellent picture quality and comprehensive feature set, making it a popular choice for retro gaming.

~~As a~~ D-Series model, the AV-~~27D202 features side-mounted speakers~~, ~~providing a wider footprint but potentially better stereo separation~~.

=== Tube Identification ===

The tube brand can be identified by the letter beside the serial number on the model tag:

* '''R''' - RCA/Thomson (A68ADT25X) - "bubble curve" tube

* '''S''' - Samsung (A68QDN891X) - generally preferred by enthusiasts

== Technical Notes ==

* Uses middle-era D-Series chassis (Dx02) with Toshiba TB1253AN jungle

* Can be RGB modded via OSD mux method

* 3-line comb filter for improved composite video quality

* 1.2W speakers per channel (cost reduction from earlier 27" models)

* 27" models from 2001 onwards lack E/W circuit for full geometry adjustment

* PAL video can be enabled by setting "V 48HZ" to 0 in service menu

== Service Menu - Red Push Fix ==

For RF, composite, and S-Video inputs:

* Set '''R Y GAIN''' to "000"

* Set '''CD MATRIX''' to "000"

For component input:

* Set '''CMP R Y GAIN''' to "000"

* Set '''CMP CD MATRIX''' to "000"

== RGB Modification ==

This model is RGB-moddable via mux. It shares board design with the [[JVC AV-27230]], so RGB mod instructions for that model apply directly.
