-== Overview ==
+== Description ==
+The JVC AV-36D500 is a 36-inch consumer CRT television released in 1999 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-36D500 features component video input and uses either the RCA A90AEJ15X tube (default) or the Toshiba A90AHH50X with invar shadow mask. The Toshiba tube is particularly desirable for its thermal stability - 36" D-Series models consistently have high-quality tubes.
+== Technical Details ==
-The '''JVC AV-36D500''' is a 36" consumer CRT television released in 1999 as part of JVC's popular [[D-Series]] line. This is a mid-tier D-Series model that uses the early GR2 chassis with the JVC JCC1007A jungle IC.
+=== Chassis ===
+The AV-36D500 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 AV-36D500 features component video input and uses either the RCA A90AEJ15X tube (default) or the Toshiba A90AHH50X with invar shadow mask (marked with "A" beside the serial number). The Toshiba tube is particularly desirable for its thermal stability.
+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
+* '''(no letter)''' = RCA A90AEJ15X
-* '''A''' - Toshiba A90AHH50X (invar shadow mask)
+* '''A''' = Toshiba A90AHH50X (invar shadow mask)
-=== Technical Notes ===
+The Toshiba tube with invar shadow mask is highly desirable for its superior thermal stability, reducing geometry drift during warmup.
-* Uses early-era D-Series chassis (Dx00) with JVC JCC1007A jungle
+=== Audio ===
-* Can be RGB modded
+The AV-36D500 uses a '''5W × 2''' stereo power amplifier.
-* Has minimal raster bloom compared to later chassis
-* 5W speakers per channel
-* Black case design
-* 36" models consistently have good quality tubes
-=== Service Menu ===
+=== 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'''
-To disable red push, access the service menu and set:
+== Related Models ==
-* '''DEMO AX RY''' to "0"
+* [[JVC AV-27D500]] - 27" counterpart
-* '''CMP D AX R''' to "0"
+* [[JVC AV-32D500]] - 32" counterpart
+* [[JVC AV-36D800]] - Premium 36" D-Series
