== Description ==

The JVC AV-27D303 is a 27-inch CRT television released in 2002 as part of JVC's D-Series consumer line. This model features a silver~~/gray~~ bezel design ~~and shares its chassis and features with~~ the ~~[[JVC AV-27D203|AV~~-~~27D203]]~~.

The JVC AV-27D303 is a 27-inch CRT television released in 2002 as part of JVC's D-Series consumer line. This late-era D-Series model features the GE3 chassis with Toshiba TM8812C- jungle IC. The silver bezel design marks the transition from the earlier black cabinet D-Series.

== ~~RGB Mod Information~~ ==

== Technical Details ==

This ~~model~~ cannot be ~~easily~~ RGB modded ~~according to community reports. The~~ component video inputs provide near-RGB quality, making modification unnecessary for most users.

=== Chassis ===

The AV-27D303 uses the '''GE3''' chassis, featuring the '''Toshiba TM8812C-''' jungle IC. This late-era chassis represents a cost-reduced design and '''cannot be RGB modded''' - the component video inputs provide near-RGB quality, making modification unnecessary for most users.

Unlike the earlier GE chassis, the GE3 lacks the E/W circuit, resulting in some barrel distortion that cannot be corrected. The 3-line digital comb filter provides quality composite and S-Video processing.

=== 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)

* '''S''' = Samsung (A68QDN891X)

* '''B''' = Goldstar/LG

* '''M''' = Matsushita/Panasonic

=== Audio ===

The AV-27D303 uses a 1.2W × 2 stereo power amplifier with BBE Sound Enhancement and Hyper-Surround processing.

=== 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'''

(Note: 2003-2004 Dx03/Dx04/Dx05 models with later revisions have no known red push fix)
