Dear Panasonic Customer,

ABCDEF

We hope that you have many years of enjoyment from your new TV. The Quick Start Guide section at the beginning of this instruction book will allow you to use the TV as quickly as possible. We recommend that you then read the complete instruction book, and keep it to refer to as you explore the range of advanced features that this Plasma TV offers.

Analogue and Digital television – what are they?

Analogue transmission is the system that has been used for many years for broadcasting television programmes. With continuous improvements in technology it is now possible to transmit programmes in a digital format, allowing clearer pictures, more stations and other services to be displayed on screen. Digital television is provided in three different ways; it can be sent along a cable connection direct to your house, broadcast from a satellite, or broadcast using traditional land based (terrestrial) transmitters. The first two options require you to have an extra “set top box” decoder and in the case of satellite, a receiving dish mounted outdoors. While allowing you to receive traditional analogue transmissions in the usual way, this television can also receive terrestrial digital services using an integrated interactive services, without the need for a “set top box” or satellite dish – an adequate roof or loft mounted antenna is all you need.

(Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder. This allows you to enjoy the new era of digital terrestrial television, including

Signal Quality

You can add new DVB stations while retaining existing tuning data. When the New Services Found message appears new DVB stations are available to add to your existing DVB channel list.

This TV continually scans for updated DVB services and notifies you of any changes. Set to On to receive notification. Set to Off if you do not wish to be informed of any updates.

The signal quality function displays an indication of signal quality for each DVB programme position. The DVB system requires a good quality signal to provide the best picture. When viewing analogue pictures, interference such as signal reflection from nearby buildings or mountains causes ‘ghosting’, but still provides a viewable picture. For the DVB system, interference such as this can disrupt the flow of data causing the picture to appear to be made up of large blocks, or to freeze intermittently. If the picture disappears completely, this could mean that signal quality is very poor. If this happens often, you may need to improve your aerial system to provide a better signal.

Q-Link

Q-Link allows the television to communicate with a compatible VCR or DVD Recorder.

For Q-Link communication to work, the TV must be connected to a recording device with the “Q-Link”, “NEXTVIEWLINK”, “DATA LOGIC”, “Easy Link”, “Megalogic” or “SMARTLINK” logo using a “fully wired” Scart cable between the AV2 / AV3 terminal of the television and the appropriate terminal on your VCR or DVD Recorder. See page 15 for details of Q-Link terminal setup. This television does not support any other types of recording control signal. For connection to the appropriate Scart terminal on the recording device, refer to the device’s instruction book.

When using a “NEXTVIEWLINK” device the main features possible are the following :

Preset Download

This allows the programme order from the TV to be downloaded to the recording device, helping to ensure that correct recordings are made; there are several ways to perform this operation :

1. During installation as explained in the “Quick Start Guide” on page 8-10.

2. When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu. See page 16.

3. Preset download started from the recording device, refer to the device’s instruction book. Because a recording device cannot tune to DVB stations, only the analogue programme positions are downloaded to the device.

What You See Is What You Record (DIRECT TV RECORDING)

This will allow the immediate recording of the programme currently shown on the TV, by the recording device attached to the Scart terminal, which can be chosen using “Q-Link”. See page 15.

Press the DIRECT TV REC button.

DIRECT TV REC

If the recording device is in Standby mode with usable recording media inserted, it will automatically switch on when you press the DIRECT TV REC button. If a “Q-Link” device is connected, a message will appear on the TV screen showing what is being recorded, or if it is not possible to record. Some “Q-Link” compatible devices will only display the message when on the VCR programme position(0) or in AV mode. Refer to the device’s instruction book.

MODE

123

456

789

Recording in progress No recording -Check tape or disc

The recording device is recording the programme signal from its own tuner. If you wish you can switch off the TV and leave the device recording in the normal way.

Recording DVB stations

If you press the DIRECT TV REC button while watching a DVB station, the recording device will automatically switch to its AV input to record the DVB signal from the TV (via the SCART cable), and the DVB programme position will be locked. If you attempt to select another DVB programme position while recording, you will see the message “DVB Tuner Locked”. Press the OK button to clear the message, or the EXIT button to unlock the programme. Beware that if you press EXIT, the DVB programme will be unlocked – switching to another DVB programme will spoil your intended recording. Stop the recording manually.

Additionally, when using a “Q-Link” device the following main features are possible:

The following features are only available from the device connected to the Scart terminal selected using “Q-Link”. See page 15.

TV / Recording device Auto Power On

If you insert pre-recorded media into the recording device and press the Play button whilst the TV is in Standby mode, the TV will automatically switch on and select the correct AV input so that you can view the content.

Recording device Auto Power Standby

When the TV is switched into Standby mode, the recording device will also switch into Standby mode if there is no media inserted, or if there is media inserted and the device is in Rewind or Stop mode. If a VCR is rewinding a tape, it will not switch into Standby mode until rewinding has finished.

Recording device Image View On

If the TV is in Standby mode and the recording device sends a menu to be displayed on the TV screen (e.g., Main menu), the TV will automatically switch On and the menu will be displayed. This TV will also communicate with other recording device’s that bear the following logos :

• “DATA LOGIC” (a trademark of Metz Corporation) • “Megalogic” (a trademark of Grundig Corporation)

• “Easy Link” (a trademark of Philips Corporation) • “SMARTLINK” (a trademark of Sony Corporation)

The tape or disc may have been “write protected”, missing or may be damaged. The device may already be recording. Refer to the device’s instruction book.

Important Note:

Some recording devices may not support all or some of the above functions. Refer to the instruction book for the device. If Q-Link functions do not work, check the connection and ensure that the scart lead is a fully-wired type.

The Widescreen TV will allow you to enjoy viewing the picture at its optimum size and aspect, including widescreen cinema format pictures.

Press the ASPECT button. Whilst the on screen selector keys are displayed, use the Red or Green buttons to move in either direction through the seven aspect options.

Note:

This is not available for 720p and 1080i component signals input. Aspect is fixed to 16:9.

Panasonic Auto

Panasonic Auto determines the best aspect ratio to use to fill your screen.

It does this using a four step process to determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture.

If Panasonic Auto detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate widescreen mode. If Panasonic Auto does not detect a widescreen signal then this advanced TV set enhances the picture for optimum viewing pleasure.

The text shown on the screen indicates how Panasonic Auto determined which ratio to use:

Panasonic Auto switches to the appropriate widescreen ratio. “Panasonic Auto” appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and below the picture are detected. Panasonic Auto chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to fill the screen. This process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.

You may prefer to manually select one of the other aspect options available to view the picture.

Notes:

• If, in Panasonic Auto mode, you experience problems with the screen

display size when playing back widescreen format recordings from your VCR then it is possible that the tracking control of your VCR requires adjustment (your VCR instruction book will contain adjustment details).

• The widescreen aspect ratios of different films and programmes can

vary. If these are wider than a standard 16:9 aspect picture then a black band may be visible at the top and bottom of the screen.

• “WIDE” will appear in the top left corner of the screen and picture aspect

changes accordingly in any aspect modes, if a widescreen identification signal (WSS) is detected or a control signal is found through a Scart terminal.

• Automatic aspect ratio adjustment by WSS signal is not available for

progressive and high definition component signals input.

DVB teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext. When you switch to a DVB teletext service, the images you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster. In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all manufacturers of DVB equipment, some on screen commands may not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

For example:

• For the on screen command ‘select’ or ‘go’, use the OK button.

• If you see the

symbols, use the appropriate CURSOR keys.

• If you see a line of key words displayed in red, green, yellow and blue, use the coloured

multifunction buttons to operate the functions.

• For numbered options, use the numeric keypad.

• The TEXT button should allow you to exit the teletext system. Alternatively, press the Channel up / down buttons to select another channel.

As soon as you switch to a DVB channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a DVB channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button – this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed. While navigating DVB teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know what is happening.

After-images appear

ABCDEF

The plasma TV panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a malfunction.

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 Plasma TV. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode. With no signal present, and without any user operation, the Panasonic screensaver will appear automatically after a few minutes to prevent image retention. During DVB teletext, radio service or menu display, the level of the contrast will decrease automatically after a few minutes to prevent image retention.

Note:

Check

Sleep Feature

If the set is not switched off when the TV station stops transmitting, it will automatically go to standby mode after 30 minutes, This function will not operate when this TV is in AV mode.

Notes:

• External surfaces of the unit may become hot during operation. But this is completely normal.

• See label on the base of this equipment for ratings and other information.

DVB Troubleshooting

Some problems will only occur when viewing DVB channels. Due to the different techniques involved in digital reception, DVB signal quality programmes. The DVB system requires a good quality signal to provide the best picture. When viewing analogue pictures, interference such as signal reflection from nearby buildings or mountains causes ‘ghosting’, but still provides a viewable picture. For the DVB system, interference such as this can disrupt the flow of data causing the picture to appear to be made up of large blocks, or to freeze intermittently. If the picture disappears completely, this could mean that signal quality is very poor. If this happens often, you may need to improve your aerial system to provide a better signal. This TV contains a complex microprocessor which enables you to view enhanced digital services. Occasionally this device may need to be reset. This can be done by pressing the standby button on your remote control.

can be poor even if you appear to have a strong signal when viewing analogue

Checks

Check that DVB transmissions are available from the transmitter you are currently using. If not, try directing the aerial at another local transmitter.

Check analogue transmissions. If picture quality is poor, you will need to improve or change your aerial system to receive DVB channels. Consult a local installer.

Blocky interference indicates that the signal quality is poor. You should consider improving your aerial system. To check the quality of your signal use the Signal Quality feature (see page 28). Good quality signal – indication is green. Poor quality signal – indication is red.

I have a good aerial system, but still cannot receive DVB stations.

If you have tried the previous solutions and are still unable to receive DVB channels, you may need to provide dedicated aerial feeds to the TV and other equipment. This can be implemented using an aerial splitter or separate aerials.
