-=== Technical Notes ===
+== Description ==
+The JVC AV-27D503 is a 27" consumer CRT television released in 2002 as part of JVC's D-Series line. This is the flagship 27" model featuring Dual Tuner Picture-in-Picture (PIP) with EZ Surfing functionality, which allows users to scroll through channels via the PIP window while on-screen text displays program information.
-* Uses late-era D-Series chassis (Dx03) with Toshiba TM8812C- jungle
+== Technical Details ==
-* '''Cannot''' be RGB modded (unlike earlier D-Series)
+The AV-27D503 uses the GE chassis with a 3-Line Digital Comb Filter for improved composite and RF image quality. Component video inputs support 480i and 480p signals for use with DVD players and progressive scan sources.
-* 3-line comb filter for improved composite video quality
-* 1.2W speakers per channel (cost reduction from earlier models)
-* 27" models from 2001 onwards lack E/W circuit for full geometry adjustment
-=== Service Menu - Red Push Fix ===
+Audio features include BBE High Definition Audio processing and Hyper Surround sound. The TheaterPro 6500K color temperature setting provides a warmer picture for film viewing.
-For 2002-2003 D-Series models, red push can be disabled via the service menu:
+The remote control model is RM-C251, an illuminated universal remote with TV, VCR, and DVD control capability.
-* Set '''NTSC MAT''' to "000"
-== Other Links ==
+=== Tube Identification ===
+The tube brand can be identified by the letter beside the serial number on the back of the set:
+* '''R''' = RCA/Thomson (A68ADT25X) - "bubble curve" tube
+* '''S''' = Samsung (A68QDN891X) - generally preferred by enthusiasts
+=== Red Push Fix ===
+Late-era D-Series (Dx03) 2002 models may exhibit oversaturated reds. To correct this in the service menu:
+# Navigate to '''NTSC MAT''' → Set to '''000'''
