Receiver Location

This unit is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for available options.

Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the

screen.

Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture.

To insure optimum color purity do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.

Optional External Equipment

The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance,

video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components

require. Also determine the length of cable you’ll need.

AC Power Supply Cord

CAUTION; To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot of AC outlet and fully insert. Do not use this

(polarized) plug with a receptacle or other outlet unless the blade can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Recording Equipment

(VHS VCR)

(1) Never connect the VIDEO IN and Prog. OUT terminals to the same video recorder, as this could cause incorrect

operation.
(2) The monitor output emits the main picture normal video and audio signals.
(3) Even if the television is in picture-out-picture condition, Prog. OUT terminals output the same signals as main picture on

the screen and sound from speaker. Sub picture including strobe, still, channel search, etc. will not be output at the

PROG. OUT terminals.
(4) DVD signal (Y, Pb, Pr) is not output at the Prog. OUT terminals.
(5) COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT

In order to prevent colors from interfering, image signals are divided into three signals of brightness, red and blue

(green is created automatically from these three signals). Each signal is processed from its own circuit and combined

on the screen, creating a natural picture.

The remote control is capable of operating many brands of peripheral equipment. Refer to pages 61 and 62 for
programming procedures.
Note: The remote control memory is limited and therefore some models may not operate. The remote control is not

designed to control all features available in all models.

Note: After entering the proper infrared code, press the desired Mode Selection Button on the remote control. Refer to

pages 16 and 66 to 68, for details on operating peripheral equipment using the remote control.

During normal broadcast (VHF/UHF)

Symptoms

Power does not turn ON

Remote control does not

function

Image shakes
Image is not clear
Color patches or no color

Image appears doubled or

tripled.

Spots appear in images,
images shake, or color patches
appear in the four corners.

When the TV set is turned on
in a dark room, the outer edges
of the screen spark
momentarily.

Checks

• Is the power plug plugged in?

• If the power does not turn on using the remote, check if the TV set is
turned on.

• Are the batteries dead or inserted incorrectly?

• Is the remote control sensor in direct light of florescent lamps or other

strong sources of light?

• Is the antenna or antenna cable old, broken or shorted?

• Is the antenna cable connected properly?

• When using a VCR and selecting channels on the TV, is the TVA/IDEO
mode for the VCR set to TV?

• Is the antenna facing the right direction?

• Is the antenna receiving any signals reflected off mountains or buildings.

• Is the TV being affected by geomagnetism or other interference

(automobiles and trains, high voltage power lines, neon, motors,
magnetic steel frames, steel windows, etc.)? Turn off the power for
approx. 20 min. and turn back on or change positioning of the TV set. If
this does not fix the problem, the TV needs magnetic shielding.

• Due to the internal structure of the CRT set, some parts of the fluorescent
components spark, (created by high voltage) when the TV set is turned
on. This is not a malfunction.

Unclear or overly bright colors
on parts of the screen

Left and right ends of the
screen, columns and frames
appear curved.

A black stripe appears for a
moment when changing
channels using the VCR.

During Panasonic AUTO
mode, the screen size

sometimes changes.

Images disappear at the top

and bottom of the screen

During ZOOM or JUST modes,
the image is cut off at the top
and bottom.

A clicking and buzzing sound

is made when the TV is turned
on.

• When white is displayed on a certain part of the screen for a while, the
white portion tends to tint with color. When the bright image disappears,
the screen will return to its normal color.

• Receiving broadcast or changes in brightness on the screen can cause
curves on the screen.

• The image distorts when channels are changed.

• Depending on the program content, even when the screen is supposed

to automatically zoom, if the beginning scene is dark, it may take a
while for it to zoom.

• During a 4:3 screen, if the top and bottom of the image is dark, it may
zoom.

• When using 16:9 image software, there is no picture at the top and
bottom of the screen (cinema vision size software, etc.).

• Has the screen position been changed?

If so, adjust screen positioning.

• This is the sound of the Geomagnetic correction function creating a
beautiful color picture. This is not a malfunction.

Troubleshooting

During normal broadcast (VHF/UHF)

Symptoms Checks

Image is skewed

Channel number remains
displayed.

The TV set makes a cracking
sound

This could be a geomagnetic
effect. (If installed facing
south, then image slants
down to the right; when facing

north, slants down to the left.)

Perform geomagnetic

correction.

' Press the INFO/RECALL button.

During VIDEO input, channel number is displayed until an image is

displayed.

If there are no problems with image or sound, it is the sound of the
cabinet shrinking due to room temperature changes. This is not a
malfunction.
