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
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.

DVB Timer programming menu
For an external recording device to record DVB programmes, the integrated DVB system must be active to provide
the signal. The Timer programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to record. At the correct
time, the DVB system will switch on and tune to the correct station (even if the TV is in standby mode). If the recording
device is compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies (see page 31) and connected to the TV’s AV2 / AV4 terminal,
you do not need to program the device – the DVB system will control the recording process.
The device must be connected to the TV’s AV2 / AV4 terminal using a SCART cable to record DVB programmes.

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 / AV4
terminal of the television and the appropriate terminal on your VCR or DVD Recorder.
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.

Recording in progressNo 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 programme is 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 main features possible are the following :
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)
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 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.

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.

TV/TEXT
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 TV/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 TV/TEXT button – this will allow
the software to download. If you press the TV/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.
Picture and text (Analogue mode only)
Press the TV/TEXT button, followed by the MULTI WINDOW
button to move between viewing teletext and the picture and text
feature. Picture and text lets you see the current programme and
a page of teletext side by side.
Whilst using this feature, the remote control affects the teletext
page; if you wish to make changes to the programme viewed
press the TV/TEXT button to return to watching the programme
on its own then make the desired changes.

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 2 minutes to prevent image retention.
During DVB teletext or radio service, the level of the contrast can be set to decrease
automatically to prevent image retention.
Note:
The permanent after-image on the Plasma TV resulting from fixed image use is not an
operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.
This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.
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 can be poor even if you appear to have a strong signal when viewing analogue 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.
Symptoms
No DVB channels listed in the TV Guide after Auto
Setup.
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 23).
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
