: “Prohibition” which must not be carried out
: “Directions” which should be followed

• This TV set is designed to operate on AC 110-127 /
220-240 V, 50 / 60 Hz.

• 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 before
connecting or disconnecting
any leads, or if 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 Standby mode
after 30 minutes. This function will not operate when
the TV is in AV mode.

• 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.

• DO NOT use this unit near
water. (Near a bath tub, etc.)
Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.

•

Unplug the power cord in the
event of any malfunction
(screen goes blank, no
sound, odd sounds, smoke or
unusual odours coming from
the unit).
Unplug the power cord if
foreign matter or water falls into the unit, or if the unit
is dropped or the cabinet is damaged.

• DO NOT touch the aerial
cable and this unit when
there is lightning.

• DO NOT use if the power
cord or power plug is
damaged, or if the plug does
not fit tightly into the socket.

• DO NOT use at a voltage
other than indicated.

• DO NOT touch the power
plug if your hands are wet.

• Turn the power “Off”
before connecting other
electrical equipment.

• Ask your sales outlet to
install the aerial.

•

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.

• WARNING

Keep unneeded small parts
and other objects out of the
reach of small children. These
objects can be accidentally
swallowed. Also, be careful
about packaging materials and plastic sheets.

!!!

• TAKE CARE NOT to
damage the power cord.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.

Warnings and Precautions

• 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 TV set 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 fire, never place
any type of candle or
naked flame on top or
near the TV set.

• DO NOT insert foreign
objects (metal or easily
flammable objects).

• DO NOT stand, or place
heavy objects on the unit.
Particular care should be
taken by families with
small children.

• DO NOT place in an
unstable location.

• Place in a safe location.

• DO NOT jolt the unit.

Preparation

• 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 Audio / Video connection between components
can be made with shielded video and audio cables.
For best performance, we recommend 75 Ω 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 will 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.

Pixel Statement (LCD)

An image on an LCD panel is created by many dots known as pixels. The more pixels on the panel, the more
detailed image can be displayed. To create a colour image each pixel is made up of three tiny coloured dots (1 each
of red, green and blue). This gives a total far in excess of one million individual dots manufactured into the panel.
Each one of these dots is precisely controlled by the electronics of the TV to produce the picture.

Whilst Panasonic maintains the highest standards in manufacturing technology and processes in the construction
of these panels, there are a number of allowable Pixel/Dot failures that would still allow the panel to be defined as
a good panel. It is not possible to guarantee absolutely no pixel loss.

“R6 (AA)” size

Pull and hold the hook, then
open the battery cover.

Insert batteries - note correct
polarity ( + and

-

).

Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cad) batteries.
They are different in shape and performance and may fail to ensure correct operation.

Battery cautions

The incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which will corrode the Remote Control or cause
the batteries to burst.

Observe the following precaution:

1. Batteries shall 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 the TV set.

Replace the cover.
