Warning

Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself has the risk of personal  injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be sure to ask your dealer or a licenced contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty. Carefully read the instructions accompanying optional accessories, and be sure to take steps to prevent the  TV from falling off. Handle the TV carefully during installation since subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause product  damage which will void your warranty. Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights or halogen lights) which typically give off  high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts. Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Wall mounted equipment must not be grounded by metal  within the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket. To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use for an extended  period of time.

Please contact your nearest Panasonic dealer to purchase the recommended wall-hanging bracket. For additional details, please refer to the wall-hanging bracket installation manual.

Timer Programming

Timer Programming from Menu

The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching or record to the external recorder. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel automatically to record even if the TV is in Standby mode. TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event

Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.  For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be displayed,  the TV must be On. No other channel can be selected while Ext Rec. of a Timer Programming is in progress.  It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).  When recording programmes, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected to the TV.  If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 62) and the “Link Settings” (p. 30) are correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder. If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set “Q-Link” in the Setup Menu (p. 30) to the  connected terminal (AV1 or AV2), and set the timer of the recorder in addition to the Timer Programming on the TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder. Recordings are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original programme is in  high definition.

Auto mode 

Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen).

This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.

Letterbox detection: If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen. If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

Note

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top  and bottom of the screen may appear. If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the  tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.
