Are you wondering how to reset your JVC TV to its default settings?
If yes, you are not alone; a lot of people run into this issue when their TV starts acting up.
Maybe the apps are freezing, or the screen looks odd, or maybe you changed a setting and cannot get things back to normal.
Either way, a factory reset is the easiest fix to start fresh.
In this guide, you will learn how to reset your JVC TV whether or not you have the remote.
The steps are simple and will work for most models released in the past few years.
When Should You Reset Your JVC TV
There are several situations when a factory reset is the right move:
- Apps keep crashing or freezing
- The screen is blank or frozen
- You changed display settings and now it looks off
- Software glitches after a firmware update
- You want to erase all data before giving the TV away
A reset clears all settings and data.
Your JVC TV will return to the way it was when you first took it out of the box.

How To Reset JVC TV Without Remote
Option 1: Use TV Buttons
Some JVC TVs have physical buttons on the side or bottom panel.
If your model has a Menu or Input button, you can use those to access settings.
Press the Menu button on the TV and use the volume and channel buttons to navigate to “Settings” > “Factory Reset.”
Option 2: Use a Universal Remote
If the physical buttons are limited, try using a universal remote.
Once paired with your JVC TV, follow the same reset steps as above.
Option 3: Use JVC Smartphone App
If your JVC TV is a smart model, download the JVC TV remote app on your smartphone.
Connect your phone and TV to the same WiFi network and use the app to navigate to Settings > Factory Reset.
Conclusion
Resetting your JVC TV is a quick way to fix software bugs, restore picture settings, and clear app glitches.
If you have your remote, just head to the settings and follow the prompts.
Without a remote, use the built-in TV buttons, a universal remote, or the JVC remote app on your phone.
Either way, your TV will be back to default and ready for setup again.
