== RGB Mod Information ==
RGB modification information for this specific model is limited. The AV-20D303 may share similarities with other JVC 20-inch models like the AV-20D202, which uses the same board as the JVC AV-27230. However, JVC sets often digitally disable unused RGB signals via the Jungle IC's RGB SEL register, making RGB modification complex and potentially requiring microprocessor intervention. Since this model already includes high-quality component video inputs, an RGB mod may not provide significant picture quality improvements.


== Setup Tips ==
== Setup Tips ==
* If component video appears in black and white, access the setup menu and enable "V2 Component-In" for INPUT 2
* If component video appears in black and white, enable "V2 Component-In" in setup menu
* The television includes I2C bus control for advanced service adjustments
* Front Input 3 jacks are under the front panel door
* The front Input 3 jacks are located under the front panel door - pull to open
* When headphones are connected, the internal speakers are automatically muted
