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 arememory 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.

Surround Sound Operation (TX-76PW10A only)
Surround Sound Systems
Stereo reproduction normally uses left and right speakers, but Digital Theater System and Pro Logic Surround
go further, adding a centre and other channels so you are immersed in sound and special effects.
Digital Theater Systems (DTS) I Dolby Digital
Both DTS and Dolby Digital split soundtrack information into 6
separate channels of sound which are output through the speaker
setup: five full range channels (left, center, right, left surround,
right surround) and a ‘0.1’ (i.e.: limited range) bass channel. This
gives you superb sound quality from DTS / Dolby Digital encoded
tracks when a compatible speaker system is connected to your
TV. Most dialogue comes from the centre channel, which enhances
dialogue and focuses it so it seems to come from the action on
screen. The separate rear left and right channels give a dramatic
sense of space, with sounds travelling in all directions between
front, centre and rear channel speakers (e.g.: a rocket going
overhead starts behind you to the left and explodes in front of you
to the right). The ‘0.1’ Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel gives
impact to bass sounds and to special effects more felt than heard
(e.g.: the thud of a dinosaur footfall or the rumble of thunder). While
DTS and Dolby, Digital are both high quality, ‘5.1’ channel surround
systems, the two systems differ in how they break down and store
sound information They also differ in how they work with existing
speaker setups. Dolby Digital has been designed to be backwardly
compatible with Dolby Pro Logic and conventional stereo setups.
DTS on the other hand, focuses on the high quality, 5.1 channel
surround output choosing not to develop backward compatibility
with existing sound systems.

Note:
External equipment is usually connected to the TV via one of the AV terminals to provide pictures and sound
(e.g. a VCR player connected to AV2). To receive a DTS or Dolby Digital encoded soundtrack from compatible
equipment (e.g.: a DVD player, a set top box) you will also need to connect an optical or coaxial cable to one of
the TV’s digital audio sockets. See page 42 for connection details. Also see the Digital Audio option in the
SOUND menu, page 16.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic surround uses four channels of sound: left, right,
centre and a rear channel giving excellent reproduction of Pro Logic
encoded tracks when a compatible speaker system is connected
to your TV. Most dialogue comes from the centre channel, which

enhances dialogue and focuses it so it seems to come from the

atmosphere and special effects, the same output is sent to both
rear speakers.
As with Dolby Digital, Pro Logic is backwardly compatible with a
conventional stereo speaker setup.

Dolby Digital and Pro Logic modes
For Dolby Digital input or Pro Logic selected in Surround mode, the following three modes of operation are available
as the speaker setting: Normal, Phantom, 3 Stereo.
NormalIf front and rear speakers are connected, use Normal mode. Centre
Right
speaker information will be produced by the TV’s internal left and right
speakers. With a DTS/ Dolby Digital 5.1 input, the LFE speaker
information is produced by the TV’s internal subwoofer. If the internal
speaker is switched off (see page 17) and an external centre speaker
used, the speaker must be connected using RCA cables, via an
external amplifier (otherwise it will not output any sound). See page 42
for connection details.
PhantomIf front left and right speakers are not connected, use Phantom mode.
Left, right, and centre information will now be produced by the TV
speakers. If you choose to use this mode with the internal speaker
switched off and front left and right speakers connected, these must be
connected using RCA cables, via an external amplifier (otherwise they
will not output any sound). See page 42 for connection details.
3 StereoThis is the best mode to use if rear speakers are not connected. When
using this mode, the surround information is redirected to the front left
and right speakers. Centre information is output by the TV’s internal
speakers. If the internal speaker is switched off (see page 17) and an
external centre speaker used, it must be connected to the TV using
RCA cables, via an external amplifier (otherwise it will not output any
sound). See page 38 for connection details.

heard by the audience, and the sound reflected back from the surrounding walls, ceiling and floor in places
such as a discos, stadiums etc. There are three different effects to choose from, each reflecting a different
atmosphere:
SettingAppropriate sourcesEffect
DISCODisco, dance or jazz musicA crowded nightclub
MOVIEAll movies or music software recorded without DolbySimulates a surround sound recording
Surround
STADIUMAny live sports occasionA packed sports stadium
Speaker Level Setup
The speaker output levels from the different options, e.g.: Left, Centre,
Right, Rear right and Rear left, should be adjusted from your usual listening
position, to obtain the best results. The level can be set using either the TV
sound or the test signal provided. Pushing the SURROUND button switches
between the test signal and TV sound.
Notes:
The adjustment menu available will vary according to the mode chosen.
If you have a DTS / Dolby Digital 5.1 input, and are using the internal
subwoofer to produce the LFE information, you can change the LFE volume
by altering the Subwoofer setting in the SOUND menu. (see page 16).
When using external stereo equipment it is advisable to set the speaker levels to the midpoint position.

Geomagnetic Correction
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.
Slight tilting of the picture may be noticeable or coloured patches may sometimes appear at the corners of
the screen (colour purity).
The Geomagnetic Correction feature can be used to eliminate some interference problems.
Quite often simply switching your Television OFF with the Power On/Off Switch (not with the remote control)
for 30 minutes and then switching it back ON will cure the problem.
Geomagnetic corrections can be made from the remote control or from the TV set.

Helpful HintN
1.If geomagnetic changes cause colour patches on the screen switch your Television OFF with the
Power On/Off Switch (not with the remote control) for 30 minutes and then switch it back ON.
2.Adjustment for geomagnetic should be performed every time the location of the TV is changed.
3.In some cases colour patches will not be completely eliminated even after adjustment, particularly in
ferroconcrete buildings and other structures susceptible to geomagnetic effects. In these cases the TV
location will have to be changed.

Monitor Out
The Monitor Out terminals reproduce the signals currently on the television screen. The on-screen signals
could be a television programme or signals connected to one of the AV inputs.

If a video recorder is connected to the Monitor Out and video sources (VCR, video disc, camera etc.) are
connected to one or more of the AV inputs, the television becomes a visual display for tape editing or
copying. Unauthorised recording of material from Television Broadcasts or from other video
and/or audio sources may contravene copyright laws.
