December 19, 2006 I got my JVC AV-32F476 32 inch TV four days ago, and hooked it to my Sony VCR yesterday. Today, all of a sudden, while surfing channels I noticed a delay and hesitancy before I got the channel. This did not happen when I entered the channels by using the number pad. At first I thought it might be that the remote control was damaged since it fell a distance of about one foot from the couch to the carpet, but the same thing happened when I used my VCR remote. Can anyone help me with a solution? I will add that this problem started occurring with my 20 year old Sony Trinitron, but only after 20 years, then the tv just collapsed. Sony thought it probably is a relay dysfunction. Should I return the JVC while I still can or is this a simple problem? Thank you very much. Layla
Two things I would check before contacting JVC. In the on screen menu does it have a setting under tuner controls to disable AFC? It sounds like the tuner is seeking the proper channel frequency before it locks it in and displays a picture. If there is no such setting, then I would try a channel autoprogram in the cable mode. I'm assuming you have no cable or satellite TV box hooked up to the set. JVC is usually a pretty good brand name.

Thanks very much henlopen. I tried your solution, re-- programming it on cable, and it did improve it by about 30%. However, the problem still persists. Your diagnosis is absolutely right. I think that is exactly what is happening, however, unfortunately, the solution did not eliminate the problem completely. Question still remains, why is it doing it only on surfing when it does not when using the number pad.
Oh and by the way, I had already contacted JVC Canada I came upon this site, and they have still not responded. May be Christmas season. Will wait till after Christmas to try again.
Thanks again.
