Description
The JVC AV-27D800 is a 27-inch consumer CRT television released in 1999 as part of JVC's popular D-Series line. This is the premium D-Series model, using the early GR2 chassis with the JVC JCC1007A jungle IC, and including additional features like TV Guide Plus and VCR Plus+ built-in.
Like other first-generation D-Series models, the AV-27D800 features component video input and uses the RCA A68AEG25X tube, which is considered superior to the later ADT-family tubes, with a flatter curvature and slightly finer dot pitch.
Technical Details
Chassis
The AV-27D800 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.
Premium Features
The D800 series is distinguished from the D500/D200 by:
- TV Guide Plus - On-screen program guide
- VCR Plus+ - One-touch recording programming
Tube
Uses the RCA A68AEG25X tube (AEG family), which differs from the ADT-family tubes in later D-Series:
- Flatter screen curvature
- Slightly finer dot pitch
- Generally considered superior for sharpness and geometry
Audio
The AV-27D800 uses a 5W × 2 stereo power amplifier with BBE Sound Enhancement processing.
Red Push Fix
Early-era D-Series (Dx00) 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
