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
The picture tube has a special coating.
?Please only use a soft cloth when you clean the surface of the picture tube
?The film can be easily scratched.
?DO NOT rub the surface with a hard material.
?DO NOT use salt water, insecticide, chloric or acidic cleaning solvent or cleaning agent with abrasive
materials.
?DO NOT heat the screen surface to 80°C or higher.
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 memorylocations 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 that 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.
?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 32 for operating instructions for the GEOMAGNETIC feature.
