DAdequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of electrical components, we recommend that a gap of at least 5cm is left all around this television receiver even when it is placed inside a cabinet or between shelves.

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

ASA

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.

The plug fitted to this appliance incorporates a mains filter circuit. If this is removed or replaced with a non-filtered plug this television will no longer meet the European standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). If the fitted plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home an appropriate adapter should be used.

Nonetheless, if the fitted 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).

Example 1.

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.

ASPECT CONTROLS

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

Note: Just mode is not available when viewing an RGB source.

Press the ASPECT button to move through the ASPECT six aspect options: Panasonic Auto, 4:3, Zoom,

16:9 (Full), 14:9 and Just.

Panasonic Auto

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 14:9 widescreen mode. If Panasonic Auto does not detect a widescreen signal then the picture is displayed in Just or 4:3 mode.

WIDE

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

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 widescreeen identification signal (WSS) is found or a signal 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.

’Panasonic Auto’ appears in the top left of the screen and red and green keys at the bottom if no indication of a widescreen signal is found, the picture is displayed in Just or 4:3 mode. If the picture has a standard 4:3 aspect ratio then you may prefer to view it at its original size, the red and green keys that appear allow you to choose between viewing at standard 4:3 size or expanded in Just mode.

Equally, you may prefer to select one of the other modes available to view the picture.

Notes:

DIf, 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).

DThe 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.
