Dear Panasonic Customer

Welcome to the Panasonic family of customers. We hope that you will have many years of enjoyment from your new colour television set.

To obtain maximum benefit from your set, please read these Instructions before making any adjustments, and retain them for future reference. Retain your purchase receipt also, and note down the Model Number and

Serial Number of your set in the space provided on the rear cover of these Instructions.

AR/AS Coating on the Screen ( for TC-51P100G, TC-51P100H )

The Screen is coated with a special material to hinder ambient light reflection and dust adherence. It aids picture performance during high ambient light conditions. The AR/AS coating may be observed when the set is switched off, since the coating give the screen surface a faint purplish or blue hue. Take care not to mark or scratch this coating.

Important Information

(1)The long time (max. 2 hours) use of TV game on the set is not recommended since the signal from TV game may be the cause of damage on picture projection tubes on the set.

(2)Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the Projection TV screen.

Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images

displayed in 16 : 9 mode.

If still picture cannot be avoided, reduce the brightness and contrast levels of the picture to minimize any damage that might occur.

(3)In order to minimize any damage to the projection tubes, this set uses the PICTURE SHIFT function (Refer to page 46) to change (shift) the entire picture approximately 4 mm every 30 minutes.
