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: -
The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code :-
BLUE : NEUTRAL BROWN : LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond to the markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows :-
1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the Earth terminal of
the three pin plug, marked with the letter ‘E’ or the earth symbol.
• This TV set is designed to operate on DC 15V.
•
To prevent damage which might result in electric shock
or fire, do not expose this TV set to rain or excessive
moisture. This TV must not be exposed to dripping or
splashing water and objects filled with liquid, such as
vases, must not be placed on top of or above the TV.
• WARNING : HIGH VOLTAGE!!!
Do not remove the rear cover as live parts are
accessible when it is removed. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
• TV Games / Home Computers
Extended use of TV games or home computers with any
television set can cause a permanent ‘shadow’ on the
screen. This type of irreversible LCD panel damage, can
be limited by observing the following points:
• Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a
minimum viewing level.
• 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 LCD
TV screen.
• Examples of still
pictures include logos, video
games, computer images, teletext and images
displayed in 4:3 mode.
• This type of LCD panel damage, is not an
operating defect, and as such is not covered by
the Panasonic warranty.
•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.
Note:
• If the set is not switched off when the TV station
stops transmitting, it will automatically go to stand-by
mode after 30 minutes. This function will not operate
when the TV is in AV mode.
• Cabinet and LCD panel care
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket. The
cabinet and LCD panel can be cleaned with a soft
cloth moistened with mild detergent and water. Do not
use solutions containing benzol or petroleum.
•
When ambient temperature is cool, the picture may take a
short time to reach normal brightness, but this is not a
malfunction. (After brief moment, the picture will have normal
brightness.)
•
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of
electrical components, we recommend that a gap of at least
10cm is left all around this television receiver even when it is
placed inside a cabinet or between shelves.
• Avoid exposing the TV set to direct sunlight and other
sources of heat.

Before Operating This Set
Receiver Location
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on
the screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat
or moisture.
To insure optimum picture do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.
Optional External Equipment
The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best
performance, we recommend 75 ohm coaxial aerial cable is used. Cables are available from your dealer or
electronic supply store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various
components require. Also determine the length of cable you’ll need.
For optimum quality picture
When the LCD is exposed to light from outdoors or lighting fixtures, high-contrast pictures may not be displayed
clearly. Turn off florescent lamps near the LCD and place in a location not exposed to outdoor light.
How to use the LCD stand
Adjust the stand to your desired angle. The stand angle can be adjusted between 0 ° to 15 ° back, 30 ° left and
30 ° right.

Panasonic Auto determines the best
aspect ratio to use to display the picture
you are viewing. 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 16:9 or
letterbox 14:9 mode.The Panorama (Just)
mode is selected if a signal with wide aspect
ratio is not present (the screen cannot be
switched from Panorama mode into 4:3
mode).
The text shown on the screen indicates
how Panasonic Auto determined which
ratio to use:
‘WIDE’ appears in the top left of the screen
if a widescreen identification signal (WSS)
is found or a signal is found through a Scart
socket. Panasonic Auto switches to the
appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 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 how dark
the picture is.
When in Panasonic Auto mode, if a Letter
box signal is input and there is no Aspect
information, the picture is automatically
adjusted to 14:9 or Zoom.
When “Panasonic Auto” is indicated in the
top left of the picture and the subtitle is
indicated in the lower part, the position of
the picture can be adjusted vertically using
the Yellow (V-POS-: Downwards) or Blue
(V-POS+: Upwards) Buttons.

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 bottom of the screen.

Q-Link
This is a Q-Link TV. Q-Link, NEXTVIEWLINK and similar technology provide a way for a TV and VCR to communicate,
making it easier to record programmes. In order to be able to exchange information both the TV and the VCR must be
fitted with this technology , and must be connected with a SCAR Tlead (full function type) between the AV2 socket of the
TV and the appropriate socket on the VCR (see the VCR instruction book for details).
Q-Link lets your TV instruct a compatible VCR to record the programme currently shown on screen, no matter what
programme position is set on the VCR, In order to make use of Q-Link, ensure that the Q-Link option is set to On in
the SET UP menu (see page 20).
Press the
DIRECT
TV REC
button.
Notes:
• If the VCR is in Stand-by mode, it will automatically switch on when you
press the
DIRECT
TV REC
button.
• To ensure correct recordings are made, the television and VCR should
share tuning information (see page 23).
• Whenever the Auto setup function is used, tuning data will be
downloaded to the VCR (see page 24).
A message, sent from the VCR, will appear on screen showing what is being recorded, or if it is not possible to
record. Some “Q-Link” compatible VCRs only display the message when on the VCR programme position (0) or
in AV mode. See the VCR instruction book.
VCR is recording the programme signal from its own tuner. If you wish you can
switch off the TV and leave the VCR recording in the normal way.
VCR is recording the programme signal from the television. You must not
change programme position or switch off the TV: if you do, the VCR will
automatically stop recording and switch off.
The write protection tab on the back of the cassette has been removed.
Examples of other messages that might be displayed.
Preset Download
This allows the programme order from the TV 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 6.
• When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu, see page 24.
• When TV to VCR manual download is started from within ‘Programme edit’, see page 23.
• Preset download started from the VCR, refer to the VCR operating instruction book.
Notes:
• With Panasonic Q-Link VCRs these additional features are available:
• If you insert a tape in the VCR and press the Play button whilst the TV is in ‘Stand-by’ mode, the TV will
automatically switch On and select the AV2 input so that you can view the tape.
• When the TV 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 the TV is in Stand-by mode and the VCR 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.
• Not all VCRs support this technology. This TV will communicate with VCRs bearing 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)
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 TV 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 6 or 36 for suitable inputs to the Scart socket
on this TV.)
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 the TV. Either adjust the tuning of the TV’s programme
position ‘0’ (follow the instructions below) or adjust the RF channel of your VCR (some VCRs allow adjustment of
their RF channel via their remote control unit) or both until the TV 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.
