Description

The JVC AV-27D501 is a 27-inch consumer CRT television released in 2000 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.

Like other early-era D-Series 27" models, the AV-27D501 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-27D501 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.

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-27D501 uses a 5W × 2 stereo power amplifier.

Red Push Fix

Early-era D-Series (Dx01) 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
