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 page 5 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.
Programme Location Numbers
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
(degaussing) 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.
This will ensure that you enjoy the picture clarity as it was meant to be.
