Two AA size

Helpful Hint:

For frequent remote control users,
replace old battery with Alkaline
batteries for longer life.

Note: In order to maximize the life of
the batteries, the lighted buttons on
the Remote Control can be turned
OFF and ON by pressing R-TUNE
and RECALL at the same time.

Precaution on battery use

Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that will
damage the remote control transmitter.

Observe the following precautions:

1. Batteries should always be replaced as a pair. Always use new
batteries when replacing the old set.

2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one.

3. Do not mix battery types (example: “Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”).

4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn
used batteries.

5. Battery replacement is necessary when remote control acts
sporadically or stops operating this unit.

Helpful Hint:

Whenever you remove the batteries, you may need to reset the remote control infrared codes. We recommend
that you record the code on page 54 – 57, prior to setting up the remote.

Notes:

(1) Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15.5 to 110 kHz and vertical

scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, signals exceeding 1200 lines will not be displayed properly.)

(2) The display resolution is a maximum of 640 × 480 dots when the aspect mode is set to “NORMAL”, and 852 × 480

dots when the aspect mode is set to “FULL”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be

possible to show fine detail with sufficient clarity.
(3) Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
(4) An adapter is required to use the PC cable (D-sub 15P) to connect a Macintosh computer to the set.
(5) There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.
(6) The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
(7) Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
(8) Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified

frequency range.

Explanation

The display will automatically become enlarged
(depending on the picture source), allowing you to view
the picture at its maximum size.

Notes:

(1) Panasonic AUT O mode is designed to automatically

adjust the aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and
4:3 program material. Certain 4:3 program material,
such as stock market data screens, may
occasionally cause the image size to change
unexpectedly. When viewing such programs, it is
recommended that the ASPECT be set to NORMAL.

(2) There may be a slight delay for the screen size to

adjust. If a 480p or 720p or 1080i signal is input
during component input signal mode, the controls
will not operate.

NORMAL will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3
size.

Troubleshooting

During normal broadcast (VHF / UHF)

Symptoms

Power does not turn ON.

Remote control does not
function.

Image shakes
Image is not clear
Color patches or no color.

Image appears doubled or
tripled.

A black stripe appears for a
moment when changing
channels using the VCR.

Checks

Is the power plug plugged in?

•

If the power does not turn on using the remote, check if this unit is

•

turned on.

Confirm that the Wide Plasma Display is connected to the rear

•

DISPLAY OUT terminal (D-SUB) of the tuner using the dedicated
display cable. The tuner will not turn ON if connected using a
different cable.

Are the batteries dead or inserted incorrectly?

•

Is the remote control sensor in direct light of florescent lamps or

•

other strong sources of light?

Is the antenna or antenna cable old, broken or shorted?

•

Is the antenna cable connected properly?

•

When using a VCR and selecting channels on this unit, is the TV/VIDEO

•

mode for the VCR set to this unit?

Is the antenna facing the right direction?

•

Is the antenna receiving any signals reflected off mountains or

•

buildings.

The image distorts when channels are changed.

During Panasonic AUTO
mode, the screen size
sometimes changes.

Images disappear at the top
and bottom of the screen.

During ZOOM or JUST
modes, the image is cut off at
the top and bottom.

Channel number remains
displayed.

This unit set makes a
cracking sound.

The top cover may become
warm.

Depending on the program content, even when the screen is

•

supposed to automatically zoom, if the beginning scene is dark, it
may take a while for it to zoom.

During a 4:3 screen, if the top and bottom of the image is dark, it may

•

zoom.

When using 16:9 image software, there is no picture at the top and

•

bottom of the screen (cinema vision size software, etc.).

Has the screen position been changed?

•

If so, adjust screen positioning.

Press the INFO/RECALL button.

•

During VIDEO input, channel number is displayed until an image is
displayed.

If there are no problem with image or sound, it is the sound of the

•

cabinet shrinking due to room temperature changes. This is not a
malfunction.

This is normal. To ensure reliable operation, do not block ventilation

•

openings. Do not place objects on the top cover that could become
damaged.

Never cover up the vent holes. Leave at least 4 inches (10 cm) of

•

space above and around the main unit.
