Panasonic
and the Environment
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Dear Panasonic Customer,
Welcome to the Panasonic family. We hope that you will have many years of enjoyment from your
new Colour Television.
Thank you for choosing to buy this Panasonic Colour Television. It was assembled at our Panasonic
Television factory in Penrith, Australia under an internationally accredited quality and environmental system.
You can therefore be assured that you have purchased a quality product incorporating features to reduce
environmental impacts.
As part of our commitment to conserving natural resources we provide the following
information about the reuse, recycling and disposal of your packaging.
Cardboard
Cardboard comprises up to 75% of the packaging in your Panasonic TV and all of
our cartons are manufactured with optimum levels of recycled fibre.
1. Reuse
Cartons can be readily folded and packed flat for storage and made up when required for later use.
2. Recycling
If you, or someone else has no further use for the carton, it can be flattened or cut up
and placed into the recycle bin or service provided by your local council (applicable
for most parts of Australia).
By recycling the cardboard you are benefiting the environment by reducing
waste to landfill and reducing the dependence on virgin forest timbers for paper fibre.
Plastics
Panasonic is reducing the number of different plastics used in both the Television and its packaging.
Unfortunately you are unable to include the type of plastic used in Television packaging in the curbside-
recycling program. Polystyrene foam and other plastic will need to be placed in your general waste bin.
About Panasonic
Panasonic Australia and Panasonic AVC Networks Australia Pty Ltd are signatories to the National
Packaging Covenant. The Covenant is an agreement between Governments and member
companies aimed at reducing the amount of waste going to landfill through Reducing, Reusing and
Recycling. Panasonic and Panasonic AVC Networks Australia Pty Ltd contribute to the industry
transitional funding arrangements to support curbside recycling in Australia.
Important Information
This television lets you to prove ownership by letting you enter personal identification into it. The “Owner ID”
function allows you to enter a security code and address information so that in the unfortunate event of theft
it will help the Police to determine the owner. Details of setting the Owner ID are on page 23.
As a further security precaution, please retain your proof of purchase along with these operating instructions.
Space has been made available on page 40 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.
Note: Do not record your PIN in this book.
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.
Panasonic
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, or into Standby 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 22 for operating instructions for the GEOMAGNETIC feature.
