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 ttils booklet "Programme Location Numbers” are referred to. These are memory

locab'ons 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.

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."

DtgitaS Theater Systems (DTS) / 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 'O.T (i.e.: limited range) bass channei. 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 channei 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) channei gives impact to bass

sounds and to special effects more felt than heard (e.g.: the thud of

a dinosaur footfail or the rumble of thunder). While DTS and Dolby

Digital are both high quality, ‘5.T channei 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;

Externa! 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 optica! or coaxial cable to one of

the TV’s digital audio sockets. See page 41 for connection details. Also see the Digital Audio option in the

SOUND menu, page 17.

Dolby Fro 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

Surround Sound Operation (TX-86PW100A & TX-76PW100A)

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, and 3 Stereo.

Normal If front and rear speakers are connected, use Normal mode. The

TV’s internal left and right speakers will produce centre speaker information. With a DTS/ Dolby Digital 5.1 input, the TV’s internal subwoofer produces the LFE speaker information. If the internal speaker is switched off {see page 18) 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 41 for connection details.

Phantom If 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 41 for connection details.

3 Stereo This 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. The TV’s internal speakers output centre information. If the internal speaker is switched off (see page

18) 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 41 for connection details.

Right Front Speaker

Right Rear SurrourKj Speaker

Simulated Mode

Simulated modes allow various types of surround effects to be produced by mimicking both the direct sound, as heard by the audience, and the sound reflected back from the surrounding wails, ceiling and floor in places such as a discos, stadiums etc. There are three different effects to choose from, each reflecting a different atmosphere;

Setting Appropriate sources

DISCO Disco, dance or iazz music MOVIE

All movies or music software recorded without Dolby

Effect A crowded nightclub Simulates a surround sound recording

Surround

STADIUM Any live sports occasion

A 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 f^m 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 willvary 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

17).

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.

Using the Front Panel

1. Push the F button repeatedly to access the Geomagnetic Correction Menu.

Helpful Hint

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some minor problems can be corrected very quickly and easily without the cost of a service call. Panasonic has a Customer Care Centre that can answer most questions over the phone. Before you contact the Customer Care Centre with your

question we have included the most commonly asked questions.

Question; Why are my channels on 1,2,3,4,57

Answer; Someone has performed an "Automatic Search” tune of your television. You will have to retune each channel

individually using the Manual Search Instructions on page 29.

Question; How do I get Channel 10?

Answer: You have three methods of selecting Channel 10

1. You can use the two digit channel selector on the remote control ("/--)■ Press this button followed by

the number 1 button, then the 0 button.

2. You can press the 9 button followed by the channel up button (A).

3. You can tune channel 10 into another position such as programme location 0.

Question: My channel number is still on the screen. How do! turn it off?

Answer: If the channel number is a small green number on the top left of the screen, press the recall® button on the

remote control. Any other channel number is one being broadcast by the television station. There is no way to turn this off.

Question: How do I tune my stations?

Answer; The instructions for tuning the stations are on page 28 for automatic tuning and on page 29 for tuning

individual stations.

Question: I have done an auto tune because the book told me to. If I am only to do manual search why is

automatic search first in the book?

Answer; The automatic search and the manual search each have specific uses. The reason for each is clearly

described in the book. The reason that automatic search is described first is because this is the first option on the screen.

Question: Why does the screen turn blue?

Answer: The television has been designed so that the screen turns blue when the signal strength is very weak or

nonexistent. The reasons may be;

1. The television station may have stopped transmitting.

2. You may have selected a programme number that has not yet been tuned.

3. You may have been watching a videotape or DVD and it has stopped playing.

4. Your aerial connection may have come loose.

Question: When I skip a station why is a picture still coming up when I press the number that the channel is on?

Answer; The Skip operation only works when you use the Channel Up ( A ) or Down ( V ) Buttons.

Question; When I use the channel up or chartnel down why don't I get all the channels?

Answer. Some of the channels may be “Skipped”. See page 31.

Question: Why doesn’t the channel change when I press the channel button?

Answer; The television might be switched to Teletext mode. If it has been switched to text mode for closed captions

and they are not being transmitted there may not be any indication on the screen to let you know that you are in Text mode. See pages 24,25 and 26.

Question; t turned my television to Standby with the remote control and then I turned it off with the power

switch. I turned the TV back on with the power switch but it’s still in Standby and I can’t find my

remote control. How can I turn the TV back on?

Answer: Press the front panel Up (+ / A) or Down (-1V) button. See page 9.
