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.

The projection 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), non-expanded 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 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:

•Limit the display of fixed image program material to no more than 15% of total viewing time per week.

•Turn the power off when not in use.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Important Information (contd.) Information Regarding Auto Convergence

This feature is used to automatically adjust convergence. It is recommended that this feature be used after moving the PTV or any change of the magnetic field, such as changing PTV location or adding additional speakers around the PTV.

Note: During auto convergence process the remote control has no effect.

ENGLISH

Normal picture with convergence problem.

AUTO CONV

Press the

button

on the front control panel.

Note: Do not turn PTV off during Auto Convergence process.

After auto convergence has finished the normal picture will be displayed, with convergence problem corrected.

AUTO CONVERGENCE IN PROCESS

Note: If convergence is not acceptable after auto convergence is finished, refer to pages 24 and 25 to set convergence manually.

Information Regarding Convergence

In the projection television, the image is formed by projecting 3 different color images (red, green and blue) onto the projection screen. Convergence refers to the alignment of red, green and blue images on the projection screen. When these images are properly aligned (converged), you see a sharp and vibrant color image. Sometimes, the three images may require alignment. This is due to the effect of Earth’s magnetic field on the projection tubes. Normally, adjustment is not necessary after the initial alignment at the center of the screen. It is possible to correct the color fringing on other areas of the screen by using the buttons on the remote control and by following the on-screen instructions in the set-up menu. Please converge the images before using the television for the first time.

The following diagram shows examples of a misaligned image and a properly aligned image. Please refer to pages 24 and 25 for detailed procedure on how to adjust convergence manually.

Misconverged image

Properly aligned image

Note:

•Make sure that the PTV is on for at least 20 minutes before adjusting convergence, as described on pages 24 and 25.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Programming The Remote Control

The Universal Remote Control can be programmed to operate many manufacturers’ components using the component function buttons for VCR, DVD, AUX, RCVR, TV, DTV 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 Code
DTV-STB		DTV (Panasonic Only)		Panasonic DTV Code
CABLE		CABLE (Preset)		Panasonic CABLE
				Code
DBS		DBS (Preset)		Panasonic DBS Code
VCR		VCR (Preset)		Panasonic VCR Codes
DVD/CD		DVD and CD (Preset)		Panasonic DVD Codes
AUX		Personal Video Recorders,		Panasonic Personal
		Tape and VCR2		Video Recorder Code
RCVR		Audio receiver (Preset)		Panasonic RCVR code

Note: Determine the manufacturer of the component and look in the table for the code (found on page 16 and 17).

Procedure

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

2.Turn the component off.

ACTION

3. Press

and POWER together for at least 5

seconds. After 5 seconds, the illuminated mode (component) buttons will begin to flash. Release the ACTION and POWER buttons.

4.Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control: VCR, DVD (CD), AUX (VCR2 or TAPE), RCVR, DTV, CABLE or DBS. The component button will illuminate steadily and all others will go out.

5.Enter the 3-digit component code using the Remote Control numeric keypad (0 ~ 9 buttons). The component button will blink twice.

6.Press the Remote Control POWER to test the

component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn on and the component key will blink twice and then go out.

Note: If the component does not operate with the Remote Control, repeat the steps 3 through 6 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.”

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

2.Turn the component off.

ACTION

3. Press

and POWER together, for at least 5

	seconds. After 5 seconds, the illuminated mode
	(component) buttons will begin to flash. Release			the	ENGLISH
	ACTION and POWER buttons.
4.	Press the appropriate component button on the Remote
	Control. The component button will illuminate steadily
	and all others will go out.
5.	Press the	POWER	button to set the remote control to the

step and set mode.

6.Point the remote control towards the component.

7.Press VOL (the mode key will blink three times), then press the Remote Control POWER button to test the

component. Continue this process until the proper code is found. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn on.

Note:	Each time you press the VOL button, make sure that the
	component key blinks twice before pressing the POWER
	button.
8.	Once the device responds, press	ACTION
		to store the

code. The mode (component) button will blink twice.

Note: It may take	many attempts before	the correct code
is found. If you miss a code, press		VOL, then press
the POWER	button to test the component.

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.
