Warnings and Precautions

• This set is designed to operate on A.C. 220 - 240 V, 50 Hz.

• This set is capable of receiving the following transmission standard, PAL I.

• The On/Off switch on this model does not fully disconnect the TV from the mains supply. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket when the TV set is not used for a prolonged period of time.

WARNING

• Place this set on a flat, level surface.

• Do not place anything heavy on it.

• Avoid location subject to excessive vibration.

• Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of electrical components, we recommend that a gap of at least 10 cm is left all around this unit even when it is placed inside a cabinet or between shelves.

• Do not remove the cover as live parts are accessible when it is removed. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

• Do not insert foreign objects into the Ventilation Holes.

• Avoid exposing the Receiver to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

•

To prevent damage which might result in electric shock or fire, do not expose this set to rain or excessive moisture.

• Do not damage the Mains lead. (If damage occurs, replace immediately to avoid fire or shock hazards.)

• Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near the receiver because it will adversely affect the performance of the Receiver .

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Do not place containers with water (flower vase, sups, cosmetics, etc.) above the set. (Including on shelves

above, etc.)

• 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 Display.

Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY

This appliance is supplied with a fitted three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. If the fuse is replaced then the replacement fuse must be 5 amp rated and should be approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the fitted plug has a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose

the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. Replacement fuse covers can be purchased through your local Panasonic dealer.

If the fitted moulded plug is replaced, the fuse should be taken out and the cut-off plug disposed of safely. There is danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

How to replace the fuse (for plug type shown in example 1):

Lift out the removable fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse, then refit securely into the mains plug (see example 1).

How to replace the fuse (for plug type shown in example 2):

Lift open the fuse compartment, in the mains plug, with a screwdriver, and replace the fuse, then press the fuse cover down securely (see example 2).

IMPORTANT: -

Panasonic Auto

‘Panasonic Auto’ appears in the top left of the screen. The best ratio is chosen and the picture expanded to fill the screen.

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 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.

Q-Link

This is a Q-Link TV. Q-Link, NEXTVIEWLINK and similar technology provide a way for the set and VCR to communicate, making it easier to record programmes. In order to be able to exchange information both the set and the VCR must be fitted with this technology, and must be connected with a SCART lead (full function type) between the AV2 socket of this set and the appropriate socket on the VCR (see the VCR instruction book for details).

Q-Link lets your set instruct a compatible VCR to record the programme currently shown on screen, no matter what programme position is set on the VCR.

Preset Download

This allows the programme order from this set to be downloaded to the VCR, this helps to ensure that correct recordings are made, there are several ways to perform this operation:

• During installation as explained in the ‘Quick Start Guide’ beginning on page 9.

• When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu, see page 31.

• When this set to VCR manual download is started from within ‘Programme edit’, see page 30.

• Preset download started from the VCR, refer to the VCR operating instruction book.

Notes:

• With Panasonic Q-Link VCR’s these additional features are available:

• If you insert a tape in the VCR and press the Play button whilst this set is in ‘Stand-by’ mode, this set will

automatically switch On and select the AV2 input so that you can view the tape.

• When this set is switched into ‘Stand-by’ mode, the VCR will also switch into ‘Stand-by’ mode if there is no tape in the VCR, or if there is a tape in and the VCR is in ‘Rewind’ or ‘Stop’ mode (if the VCR is rewinding a tape, it will not switch into ‘Stand-by’ mode until rewinding has finished).

• If this set is in Stand-by mode and the VCR sends a menu to be displayed on this set screen (e.g. Main menu), this set will automatically switch On and the menu will be displayed.

• Not all VCR’s support this technology. This set will communicate with VCR’s bearing the following logos:

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

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

• “Megalogic” (a trademark of Grundig Corporation)

• “SMARTLINK” (a trademark of Sony Corporation)

Some may support certain features, but not others. Refer to the VCR operating instruction book.

• If Q-Link is inoperative, first confirm that your Scart lead is a full function type. Ask your dealer for further details.

Tuning your VCR and satellite receiver

Your new set is supplied with programme position ‘0’ set to receive an RF signal from your VCR, although a Scart connection is preferable if the VCR is so equipped (see page 10, 11 or 42 for suitable inputs to the Scart socket on this set.) However, if for some reason your VCR is tuned to a different RF channel then you will not receive any picture or sound from your VCR on programme position ‘0’ of this set. Either adjust the tuning of this set’s programme position ‘0’ (follow the instructions below) or adjust the RF channel of your VCR (some VCR’s allow adjustment of their RF channel via their remote control unit) or both until the Television receives the RF output channel of your VCR. It is intended that this advice is used in conjunction with the instruction books for your additional equipment.
