JVC HD-ILA Recall

donellyd · 03-10-2005, 12:33 PM

Just wanted to share with you folks the information I just received from the store that sold me my 52Z585. There is a potential for a recall of a certain range of S/N's that need a new circuit board installed. Please take a look at your S/N and let your store/JVC know to see if you are affected. I am affected. Guess that better than in-fected.

Good luck!
