Dear Panasonic Customer, We hope that you have many years of enjoyment from your new TV. The Quick Start Guide section at the be gin ning of this instruction book will allow you to use the TV as quickly as possible. We recommend that you then read the complete

Analogue and Digital television – what are they?
Analogue transmission is the system that has been used for many years for broadcasting television programmes. With continuous improvements in technology it is now possible to transmit programmes in a digital format, allowing clearer pictures, more stations and other services to be displayed on screen. Digital television is provided in three different ways; it can be sent along a cable connection direct to your house, broadcast from a satellite, or broadcast using traditional land based (terrestrial) transmitters. The fi rst two options require you to have an extra “set top box” decoder and in the case of satellite, a receiving dish mounted outdoors. While allowing you to receive traditional analogue transmissions in the usual way, this television can also receive terrestrial digital services using an integrated of digital terrestrial television without the need for a “set top box” or satellite dish – an adequate roof or loft mounted antenna is all you need.
(Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder. This allows you to enjoy the new era

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 elec tric shock or fi re, do not expose this TV set to rain or excessive moisture. This TV must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and ob jects fi lled with liq uid, such as vases, must not be placed on top of or above the TV.
• 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.
• 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.
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 allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended
period, as this can cause an 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 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, tablecloths and curtains.
