Dear Panasonic Customer

Welcome to the Panasonic family of customers. We hope that you will have many years of enjoyment from
your new Wide Projection television set.
To obtain maximum benefit from your set, please read these Instructions before making any adjustments,
and retain them for future reference.
Retain your purchase receipt also, and note down the Model Number and Serial Number of your set in the
space provided on the rear cover of these Instructions.

Important Information

(1) The long time (max. 2 hours) use of a TV game on this set is not recommended, since the signal from the TV game may cause

damage to the picture projection tubes of the set.

(2) 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

Projection TV screen.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images and teletext.
If still picture cannot be avoided, reduce the brightness and contrast levels of the picture to minimize any damage that might
occur.

(3) In order to minimize any damage to the projection tubes, this set uses the PICTURE SHIFT function (Refer to page 23) to change

(shift) the entire pictures approximately 2 mm every 15 minutes.

ensure that the polarities
(positive and negative) are
correctly aligned. Insert as
shown on remote control. If
inserted incorrectly, battery
fluid may leak, and fire, injury,
or damage to surrounding
components may result.

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 unit
even when it is placed inside a
cabinet or between shelves.

Before cleaning, unplug the
power plug from the socket.

Unplug the power plug from
the socket if you are not going
to use the unit for an extended
period.

Do not mix new and old bat­teries . Use only the specified
batteries. Failure to follow this
precaution may result in leak­age of battery fluid. Fire, injury,
or damage to surrounding
components may also result.

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

DO NOT joint the unit.

Ask your sales outlet to install
the aerial.

To ensure continued excellent performance by this product, periodic cleaning is recommended. See page 37 for more information.

Before Operating This Set

Helpful Hint

(1) If a clear picture with correct colours cannot be obtained when a Broadcast or AV signal is received, refer to the “Colour System

Selection” operation on page 21.

(2)

(3) When using a VCR without video and audio input/output terminals, it is convenient to connect the aerial cable as indicated in the

instruction manual of VCR and to set the designated channel to programme No. “0”. In that case, perform manual tune after
setting the colour system and sound system in advance. Further, in multi-system VCR, it is more convenient to set the designated
channel to several programme Numbers.

After the Manual tune or the Automatic tune is finished, under the normal viewing condition press this button to
confirm the tuning condition for each Programme Number. If some Programme Numbers are unused (no TV
stations), it is possible to skip such Programme Numbers. Please refer to the Programme Number Skip operation
on page 20.
