JVC TVs make it simple to turn off motion smoothing with these easy steps.

It’s happened to all of us. You unpack a new TV, download your favorite streaming apps, and you’re excited to start watching your first title. But as soon as you turn it on, that unmistakable soap-opera effect assaults your eyes. The effect is called motion smoothing, and it can absolutely ruin your TV watching experience.

If you own a JVC-made smart TV running the Amazon Fire TV or Roku operating systems, we’ll help you ditch motion smoothing and get back to watching TV and movies the way they’re meant to be seen. Check out our step-by-step guides below!

How to turn off motion smoothing on JVC TVs

What is motion smoothing called on a JVC TV?

That depends on which operating system your JVC set uses. We’ll run through instructions for how to turn off motion smoothing on two commonly used operating systems on JVC sets: Amazon Fire TV and Roku. On Amazon Fire TV, the setting is typically called motion smoothing, motion processing, or action smoothing. On Roku TVs, you’ll also find the setting under the name action smoothing.

How to turn off motion smoothing on JVC TVs

Amazon Fire TV

  1. Start playing a TV show or movie.
  2. Long-press the home button or settings button on the remote.
  3. Go to Picture, or Displays and Sounds.
  4. Scroll to Advanced Options.
  5. Look for motion smoothing, action smoothing, or motion processing and switch it off.

Roku

  1. Press the star button on your Roku TV remote during playback of a TV show or movie.
  2. Once the Options menu opens, scroll to Advanced Picture Settings.
  3. Scroll to Action Smoothing.
  4. Use the left and right buttons on the directional pad to adjust.

Will this process work for all JVC TVs?

No, these instructions are specifically intended to help those using Amazon Fire TV and Roku JVC sets, as these are some of the more commonly used operating systems on JVC TVs. If your set uses a different operating system, you may have to check with the manufacturer for help in disabling motion smoothing.

Will your JVC TV come with motion smoothing turned on automatcially?

Yes, a new JVC TV will come with motion smoothing automatically activated. To turn it off, you’ll have to enter the settings and adjust it manually.

Can you turn motion smoothing back on with JVC TVs?

Yes, you can. Turning off motion smoothing on your JVC TV doesn’t disable the setting permanently, just until you decide to turn it back on. If you want to, you can always restore the setting.
