Welcome
We hope you have many years of enjoyment from your new Panasonic HD Digital Receiver.
The simple, easy to follow instructions will enable you to quickly set up and install the equipment and
begin your enjoyment of the available services.
The availability of Digital services in your area is dependent upon the transmissions received by your
aerial and the configuration of your existing equipment.
Warnings and precautions
• This Digital Receiver is intended for the reception of Digital TV picture and sound signals.
• If the Digital Receiver is exposed to drastic temperature changes, e.g. taking it from a cold
room to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and let it stand for at least two hours.
• Do not expose the Digital Receiver to any moisture. The Digital Receiver is designed for use
indoors and should be protected against moisture (splashes of water etc.).
• Do not expose the Digital Receiver to dripping or splashing water and objects filled with liquid,
such as vases, must not be placed on top of or above the unit.
• Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of electrical components; we recommend
that a gap of at least 5cm is left all around this Digital Receiver even when it is placed inside a
cabinet or between shelves.
• Ensure that the ventilation holes beneath the unit are not blocked.
• Do not place the Receiver in the immediate vicinity of a heat source or in direct sunlight as this
would prevent appropriate cooling.
• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flame on top of or near the Digital
Receiver.
Caring for your Digital Receiver
• Remove the mains plug from the wall socket. The cabinet can be cleaned with a dry clean cloth.
Do not use solutions containing benzol or petroleum.
• Make sure that all the electrical connections are properly made. Do not connect any of your
equipment (TV, video recorder, etc.) to the mains supply until you have properly connected all
the other leads. Disconnect your Digital Receiver from the mains supply before you disconnect
any other equipment from its rear panel.

4 Installing Your Digital Receiver
4.1 Connecting Your Digital Receiver
The following illustrations show some examples for connecting this HD Digital
Receiver. Select the connection that is best suited for your needs. Many other
connections may be possible when optional devices such as RF cable splitters are
included in your system. These devices may cause signal degradation and, if too
many are used, poor quality picture and sound may result.
Terrestrial antenna/cable connection
Connect the TV antenna cable to the HD Digital
Receiver RF IN connector. Also connect the
cable between your TV Antenna IN and RF Out
connector on the rear of the Digital Receiver.
This connection allows your TV set to receive
normal analogue programs. (Refer to A)
Video Connections
(A) Aerial Connection
Adjust switch on the rear panel according to the format supported by your display
device, and it contains three modes: A, B and C.
Mode A (SD/HD, YPbPr)
Connect the YPbPr component video output
socket on your digital receiver to your display
device’s YPbPr component video input. Be sure
to match the colours on the RCA sockets with t
he
coloured plugs. (Refer to B)
Note: When unit is in Mode A, there is no video
output from the CVBS TV socket.
(B) YPbPr Connection
Mode B (HD, RGB)
Connect the D-sub socket to your display
device. (Refer to C)
Note: Cable is not supplied.
(C) RGB Connection
7
Operating Instruction Book
TU-HDT105A
Mode C (SD, TV/CVBS)
Connect the CVBS composite video output
socket on your digital receiver to your TV’s
CVBS video input socket.
Connect the S-Video (Y/C) component video
output socket on your receiver to your TV’s SVideo input socket.(Refer to D)
Note: Cable is not supplied.
Note: When unit is in Mode C, there is no
output from the YPbPr sockets.
Audio Connections
(a) Digital Audio
If your display device is equipped with Dolby
Digital and/or MPEG audio decoding capability,
you may connect the Digital Audio output of
your digital receiver to the display device’s
Digital Audio input using either the Optical or
Coaxial RCA socket. (Refer to E) You may
also connect the digital audio output to your
A/V receiver if it is capable of decoding a
Dolby Digital / MPEG digital audio stream.
Note: Cable is not supplied.
(b) Analogue Audio
If your display device and/or A/V receiver does
not support Dolby Digital / MPEG decoding,
you will need to connect the L/R Audio output
RCA sockets on your digital receiver to the
stereo L/R Audio inputs of your display device
and/or A/V receiver.
(Refer to F). If your A/V receiver supports
Dolby Pro Logic decoder, you can switch ON
the “Stereo Surround” function (Page 20).

4.2 Output Mode Selection
After you have connected the AV cables for video and audio between your digital
receiver and the display device, check that the position of the output selection switch
is correct for your chosen connection method as in the table below.
Switch Position Video Output Format Receiver Mode
A YPbPr (Component Video) SD / HD
B RGB HD
C CVBS / S-Video SD
Switch on the digital receiver and the display device, and select the correct AV input
on the display device. The digital receiver will take about 10 seconds to switch on.
You may now start the installation procedure.
The installation procedure is used to set up the video formats that may be output
from the digital receiver to the display device. During this procedure the digital
receiver may test if the display device is capable of correctly displaying 576i, 576p,
1152i, 1080i and 720p video formats. You will be asked to test these video formats
on the display device and confirm if the picture is displayed correctly. If the display
device is not capable of displaying a particular video format, the digital receiver will
return to the last correctly displayed format after about 12 seconds.
Note: In some cases, a display device will fail to return to a previously tested mode
after failing to display the next mode (i.e. the display does not support this format). If
you experience this, turn the display device off, wait 10 seconds and then turn the
display device on.
Installation Format Selection
Use the Remote Control keypad to perform the digital receiver format testing and
installation. Follow the digital receiver’s on-screen instructions to do the installation.
Mode A (SD/HD, YPbPr)
The switch on the rear of the digital receiver
must be in position A, and the AV connections
must be taken from the YPbPr RCA sockets.
You have selected YPbPr format
at the rear panel switch.
The digital receiver display will show “HdcI”.
Press OK to confirm the selection, or switch to
another mode. Proceed to INSTALLATION.
Press OK to continue.
Note: If the STB is connected to a HD only YPbPr input on the display, no picture will
be displayed until you have pressed the TV/TEXT to change to 576p format.

signal strength and quality.
The signal strength and signal quality are shown
as separate bars. For the digital receiver to
function correctly, both these bars need to be
displayed in green colour. If either of the bars
is
displayed in the orange colour, there may be
video and audio reception problems (see
Troubleshooting)
. If either of the bars is
displayed in red colour, there is a problem with
the reception of the digital signal and the antenna and c

DTV Reception Trouble Shooting Guide
After a channel scan, some channels or no channels are found
Your TV antenna may not be properly connected to your digital receiver
1. Did you connect your antenna as illustrated in the quick connect guide?
If you have a pay TV box or a VCR connected then the HD-STB must be the first
device connected to the antenna. (That is the antenna should be plugged into the
STB and the STB RF-Out should then be plugged into the next device.
2. Is the antenna wall socket in good condition?
For optimum and reliable contact performance, the antenna wall connector should be
an ‘F’ (screw) type connector.
3. Are you using a quality antenna fly lead between antenna wall socket and HD-STB?
The use of RG6 or RG59 Quad Shield 75 ohm coaxial cable fly leads with metal ‘F’
connectors provides a secure, reliable connection that also greatly reduces impulse
noise pickup. Low cost antenna fly leads with right-angled plastic moulded
connectors are a common cause of poor reception and impulse noise pickup.
