Description
The JVC AV-20D304 is a 20-inch CRT television from JVC's D-Series lineup, released in 2003. It is the smallest model in the late-era D-Series, using the FE2 chassis shared with the 27" models. Unlike larger D-Series, this model features a front panel headphone jack.
Technical Details
Chassis
The AV-20D304 uses the FE2 chassis, which is a 1-chip design shared with the 30 Series and other late D-Series models. This chassis cannot be RGB modded due to its integrated design. The component video input provides excellent quality comparable to RGB for retro gaming.
The 3-line digital comb filter provides quality composite and S-Video processing. This model includes dual S-Video inputs.
Tube
The AV-20D304 uses a 20" 4:3 CRT. The tube brand can be identified by the letter beside the serial number on the back of the set:
- R = RCA/Thomson
- S = Samsung
- B = Goldstar/LG
Audio
The AV-20D304 uses a 1.2W × 2 stereo power amplifier with BBE High Definition Audio processing. The included headphone jack automatically mutes internal speakers when in use.
Video Status Modes
The AV-20D304 features three video presets: THEATER, SPORTS, and GAME. Game Mode reduces input lag for gaming applications.
Red Push
The 2003-2004 D-Series models with later chassis revisions have no known service menu red push fix available.
Setup Tips
- Game Mode reduces input lag for gaming
- If component video appears in black and white, enable component in the setup menu
- Default sharpness is typically too high - adjust in user menu for optimal picture
