serviceable parts inside.
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
• TV Games / Home Computers
Extended use of TV games or home computers with
any television set can cause a ‘shadow’ on the screen.
This type of LCD panel phenomenon, can be limited
by observing the following points:
• Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a
minimum viewing level.
• Do not operate the television set for a continuous
period of time while using TV games or home
computers.
• 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.
• Remove the mains plug from the wall when TV is not
in use. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket
before connecting or disconnecting any leads.
Sleep feature:
If the set is not switched off when the TV station stops
transmitting, it will automatically go to Standby mode
after 30 minutes. This function will not operate when

• 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. To prevent fi re, never place any type
of candle or naked fl ame on top or near the TV set.
• Ventilation should not be impleded by covering the
ventilation openings with items such as newspapers,
table cloths and curtains.

1. During installation as explained in the “Quick Start Guide” on page 5, 6.
2. When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu. See page 12.
3. Preset download started from the recording device, refer to the device’s instruction book.

Auto aspect
Auto aspect determines the best aspect ra tio to use to fi ll your screen. It does
this using a four step process to determine if the picture being viewed is a
widescreen picture.
If Auto aspect detects a widescreen signal it switches into the ap pro pri ate
widescreen mode. If Auto aspect 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 Auto aspect de ter mined which

“Auto aspect” appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and
below the picture are detected.
Auto aspect chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to fi ll the screen.
This process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the
picture.
You may prefer to manually select one of the other aspect options available
to view the picture.
Notes:
• If, in Auto aspect 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 fi lms 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.
• “WIDE” will appear in the top left corner of the screen and picture aspect
changes accordingly in any aspect modes, if a widescreen identifi cation signal
(WSS) is detected or a control signal is found through a Scart terminal.
• Automatic aspect ratio adjustment by WSS signal is not available for
progressive and high defi nition component signals input.
