The '''JVC AV-20F476''' is a 20" flat CRT television from JVC's I'Art series, manufactured by JVC themselves in Mexico. Released around 2005, it uses the same tube as the Magnavox 20MS3442/17. The TV features a Toshiba jungle chip (TA1218AN) and a 3-line digital comb filter for excellent picture processing.
== Features ==
* Real Flat CRT with INVAR Shadow Mask
* 3-Line Digital Comb Filter
* Component Video Input (supports 480p progressive scan)
* BBE High Definition Sound
* Theater Status modes (TheaterPro/Standard/Theater/Dynamic/Game)
* MTS Stereo and SAP
* Hyper Surround Sound
* On-screen clock with over-the-air time setting
* V-Chip parental controls
* Universal remote control with DVD control capability
== Notes ==
This set uses a Toshiba jungle chip and has excellent picture processing. Sound quality is notable due to its dual 12W rated speakers.
The case has a distinctive boxy design—rather than a gradual round-tapering, the backing that encases the picture tube appears almost fully rectangular when viewed from the back.
As with many mid-2000s flat CRTs, it can exhibit some horizontal linearity issues where the edges stretch out, scrunching the picture toward the center of the screen.
== Service Mode ==
Entering service mode on the AV-20F476, AV-20F475, and similar models:
# With the power on, press the '''SLEEP TIMER''' button on the remote to display "0 Minutes"
# Press the '''VIDEO STATUS''' button and the '''DISPLAY''' button simultaneously—the service menu will appear
Use a dedicated video input (not RF) so that the text is legible.
== Related Models ==
The same general internals also power the [[JVC AV-27F476]] and [[JVC AV-32F476]].
