The '''JVC AV-27D104''' is a 27-inch CRT television manufactured by JVC as part of their D-Series lineup. It is a lower-tier model compared to the AV-27D304 but shares the same FE2 chassis, offering similar core performance.
== Overview ==
The AV-27D104 was positioned as an entry-level model in JVC's D-Series lineup while still using the proven FE2 chassis. The main differences from the higher-tier D304 model are in the input configuration (only one S-Video input) and the front panel design. This model has different dimensions compared to the AV-27430/432 models despite sharing the same chassis.
== Features ==
* Dark-tinted picture tube for high contrast viewing
* Game mode functionality
* MTS stereo with SAP (Second Audio Program)
* 3-line digital comb filter for enhanced resolution
* Automatic degaussing on power-on
* Stereo speakers (5x9cm dual speakers)
* V-Chip parental control
* BBE high definition audio
* Closed Caption support
* Multiple video status modes (THEATER, SPORTS, GAME)
* Hyper scan technology
== Technical Specifications ==
* '''Horizontal Scan Range:''' 15 kHz
* '''Vertical Scan Range:''' 60 Hz
* '''Native Resolutions:''' 240p, 480i
* '''Deflection:''' 111°
* '''Power Consumption:''' 105 Watts
* '''High Voltage:''' 28kV ± 1.3kV (at zero beam current)
* '''Audio Output:''' 1.2W + 1.2W
* '''Sound System:''' BTSC System (Multi Channel Sound/MTS Stereo)
* '''TV System:''' CCIR(M), NTSC
* '''Mask Type:''' Slot
* '''Pitch:''' 0.87 mm
* '''Tube Manufacturers:''' Samsung, Thomson
* '''Heater Voltage:''' 6.3V
== RGB Mod ==
This model '''cannot be RGB modded''' due to its 1-chip chassis design. However, the component video quality is excellent and provides picture quality comparable to RGB, so modification is not necessary for optimal gaming performance.

== Technical Details ==
}}
 
=== Chassis ===
The AV-27D104 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.
 
=== Tube Identification ===
The tube brand can be identified by the letter beside the serial number on the back of the set:
* '''R''' = RCA/Thomson (A68ADT25X01)
* '''S''' = Samsung (A68QDN891X001)
 
Tube specifications:
* Deflection: 111°
* Mask Type: Slot, 0.87 mm pitch
* High Voltage: 28kV ± 1.3kV (at zero beam current)
 
=== Audio ===
The AV-27D104 uses a 1.2W × 2 stereo power amplifier with BBE High Definition Audio processing.
 
=== Video Status Modes ===
The AV-27D104 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
 
== Related Models ==
* [[JVC AV-27D304]] - Higher-tier D-Series (dual S-Video)
* [[JVC AV-20D304]] - 20" D-Series model
* [[JVC AV-27430]] - 30 Series with same chassis
