Optional Cable Connections

Shielded audio and video cables should be used between components. For best results:

Use 75-ohm coaxial shielded cables.

Use appropriate input and output connectors that match your component connectors.

Avoid long cables to minimize interference.

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 A PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADE

CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

Polarized plug

PROTECT POWER CORDS FROM BEING WALKED ON, ROLLED OVER, CRIMPED, BENT OR PINCHED, PARTICULARLY AT PLUGS, CONVENIENCE RECEPTACLES, AND THE POINT WHERE THEY EXIT FROM THE APPARATUS.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE USE OF VIDEO GAMES, COMPUTERS, OR OTHER FIXED IMAGE DISPLAYS.

WARNING: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from viewing fixed image is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty.

This television is designed to display constantly moving images on the screen. Continuous viewing of stationary images such as letterbox pictures on standard screen TVs (with top/bottom bars), nonexpanded standard (4:3) pictures on wide screen TVs (with side bars shown on each side of an image), stock market report bars (ticker running at the bottom of the screen), video game patterns, fixed scoreboards, bright station logos, on-line (internet) or repetitive computer style patterns should be limited.

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent picture tube damage, shown as a “shadow image” viewable on normal programs. This type of irreversible picture tube deterioration can be limited by performing the following steps:

•Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.

•Turn the power off when not in use.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Programming The Remote

The Universal Remote Control can be programmed to operate many manufacturers’ components, using the component function buttons for VCR, DVD, CABLE or DBS. Follow the procedures for programming your Remote Control with or without a code for the component.

Default Modes For Remote Control

	Device		Operates	Default
	TV		TV (Panasonic Only)	Panasonic TV Codes
	VCR		VCR (Preset)	Panasonic VCR Codes
	DBS		DBS (Preset)	Panasonic DBS Codes
	CABLE		CABLE (Preset)	Panasonic DBS Codes
	DVD		DVD, CD (Preset)	Panasonic DVD Codes

Determine the manufacturer of the component and look in the table for the code.

Programming With a Code

Procedure

•Confirm that the external component is plugged in and operating.

•Turn the component off.

	ACTION
• Press	and POWER together, for at least 5 seconds.

•Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control VCR, DVD, CABLE or DBS.

•Enter the 3-digit component code using the Remote Control numeric keypad (0 ~ 9 buttons).

• Press the Remote Control	POWER	to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn on.

Helpful Hints: Unsuccessful Code

If the component does not operate with the Remote Control, repeat the procedure using another code. (Some brands have multiple codes).

If an incorrect code is entered, or if the procedure takes longer than 30 seconds, the programming will fail.

Programming Without A Code

This procedure searches all codes and is called the “sequence method.”

•Confirm that the external component is plugged in and on.

•Turn the component off.

	ACTION
• Press	and POWER together, for at least 5 seconds.

•Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control.

•Press VOL to move forward to the next code. Press VOL to move backward.

•Press the Remote Control POWER to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn on.

Note: Repeat the above steps until the component code is found. It may take many attempts before the correct code is found.

ACTION

•

After the code is found, press

to store the code.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Component Codes

The Universal Remote Control is capable of operating many component brands after entering a code. Some components may not operate because the codes are not available due to limited memory. The Universal Remote Control does not control all features found in each model.

Write the code numbers from tables in this space. This will serve as a reference if you need to program your Remote Control.
