Dear Panasonic Customer,
Welcome to the Panasonic family. We hope that you will have many years of enjoyment from your
new Colour Television.
Please retain your proof of purchase along with these operating instructions. Space has been
made available on the back page of this instruction book for recording the Serial Number. The Serial
Number can be found on the back cover of the set and on the packing carton.
Important Information
Programme Location Numbers
This television comes to you “factory tuned” to all the major capital city broadcast stations. Adjustments to
the tuning should not be necessary. However, if you have to make adjustments, please read these instructions carefully first. Throughout this booklet “Programme Location Numbers” are referred to. These are
memory locations into which you can tune television broadcast stations. Any television station can be
tuned into any Programme Location Number.
Picture Quality
All televisions are affected by Magnetic Interference.
Magnetic interference may come from such things as
unshielded motors, moving the TV while it is switched
ON, turning off a vacuum cleaner too close to the TV,
lightning strikes nearby or many other things.
The interference shows up as coloured patches which
appear while the TV is switched ON.
A typical result may look like the picture shown.
• Your Panasonic Television is designed to overcome this with the inclusion of a demagnetising (de-
gaussing) function.
• To activate this feature, simply switch your Television OFF with the Power On/Off Switch (not with
the remote control) for 30 minutes and then switch it back ON.
• If the television is to be left unattended for extended periods (several days or more), turn the power
off to the unit. DO NOT leave in Standby mode.
• This will ensure that you enjoy the picture clarity as it was meant to be.
Refer to page 33 for operating instructions for the GEOMAGNETIC feature.

Getting Started
Connect the Aerial
The RF (Aerial) Input impedance of this television is 75Ω. If your aerial lead is 300Ω ribbon (two wires
separated by a flat plastic sheet) you will require a 300Ω/75Ω Balun (not supplied) in order to connect your
aerial to the television.
Note:
For your safety any external aerial should be installed by a reputable qualified installer and should comply
with Australian Standard AS1417.1.
In New Zealand the installation should comply with International Standard IEC597-1.1.
Connect the Power Plug
The televisions are designed for the Australian Standard Mains Voltage of
240V 50Hz and the New Zealand Standard Mains Voltage of 230V 50Hz.
NOTE:
If the television is not going to be used for an extended period, remove the power plug from the wall outlet.
Turn on the Television
Push the Power Switch to turn the television ON.
Sit back and enjoy your new Panasonic television.
Battery Installation and Replacement
Place your thumb on the battery
cover triangle. Apply a slight
downward pressure with the
thumb and slide the cover back.
This allows the cover to be
removed.
Insert the batteries ensuring the
correct polarity. The polarity is
identified by the “ + “ symbol on
the battery and the “ + “ and “ - “
symbols on the battery
compartment. The springs inside
the battery compartment connect
to the negative terminal of the
battery.
Two “AA” size batteries
Fit the battery cover and slide it
forward until it “clicks” into place.
Battery Precautions
• Do Not use rechargeable batteries.
Differences in size and performance
may cause incorrect operation.
• Do Not mix battery types (Alkaline
with zinc-carbon etc.)
• Do Not mix old and new batteries.
Replace both batteries at the same
time.
• Do Not attempt to recharge
batteries.
• Do Not short circuit batteries.
• Do Not disassemble batteries.
• Do Not heat or burn batteries.
