Warnings and Precautions

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

• 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 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.

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

The levels of sound between the left and right speakers can be adjusted to suit your listening position.

Can be adjusted independently of the TV speakers so that everyone can enjoy listening at a level comfortable for them.

Usually set to Stereo to provide the best reproduction, but if reception deteriorates or if the service is not available then switch to Mono. Mono (M1) and (M2) can also be selected if a mono signal is being transmitted.

Sound quality can be improved when watching music scene or drama by selecting the appropriate Music or Speech mode.

To enjoy a concert hall effect, turn Ambience On. Switching is also possible by pressing the Ambience button. The benefits of Ambience sound are enormous. You can be completely enveloped in sound; just as if you were at a concert hall or cinema. The Ambience effect can be obtained without the use of external Ambience speakers.
