Warnings and Precautions

• 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 10 cm 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.

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 AV1/AV2

socket of the television and the appropriate socket on your VCR or DVD Recorder. For connection to the appropriate Scart socket on the recording device, refer to the device’s operating 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’ beginning on page 5-6.

2. When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu, see page 13.

3. Preset download started from the recording device, refer to the device’s operating instruction book.

Important Note:

Not all recording devices support this type of data communication system. Some may support certain features, but not others. Refer to the recording device’s operating instruction book. If Q-Link is inoperative, first confirm that your Scart cable is a “fully wired” type. Ask your dealer for further details.

Aspect Controls

The Widescreen TV will allow you to enjoy viewing the picture at its optimum size and aspect, including widescreen ‘cinema format’ pictures.

Press the ASPECT button repeatedly to move through the seven aspect options: Panasonic Auto, 16:9,

14:9, Just, 4:3, Zoom1 and Zoom2.

OR Press the ASPECT button then use the Red or Green buttons to move in either direction through the seven aspect options.

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:

‘WIDE’ appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identification signal (WSS) is found or a signal found through a Scart socket. 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.

‘WIDE’ appears in the top left of the screen, Panasonic Auto switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio.

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.

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