Description

The JVC AV-36D501 is a 36-inch consumer CRT television released in 2000 as part of JVC's popular D-Series line. This mid-tier D-Series model uses the early GR2 chassis with the JVC JCC1007A jungle IC.

The AV-36D501 features component video input and uses either the RCA A90AEJ15X tube (default) or the Toshiba A90AHH50X with invar shadow mask (marked "A" beside the serial number). The Toshiba tube is particularly desirable for its thermal stability.

Technical Details

Chassis

The AV-36D501 uses the GR2 chassis, featuring the JVC JCC1007A jungle IC. This early-era chassis is RGB moddable and has minimal raster bloom compared to later D-Series chassis.

The 2-line digital comb filter provides quality composite and S-Video processing. This is the original D-Series comb filter before the upgrade to 3-line in 2001 models.

Tube Identification

Check the letter beside the serial number on the model tag:

(no letter) = RCA A90AEJ15X
A = Toshiba A90AHH50X (invar shadow mask)

The Toshiba tube with invar shadow mask is highly desirable for its superior thermal stability, reducing geometry drift during warmup. 36" D-Series models consistently have high-quality tubes.

Red Push Fix

Early-era D-Series (Dx01) may exhibit oversaturated reds. To correct this in the service menu:

Navigate to DEMO AX RY → Set to 0
Navigate to CMP D AX R → Set to 0
