WARNING!
Failure to use a Panasonic bracket or choosing to mount the unit yourself will be done at the risk of the consumer. Any damage resulting from not having a professional installer mount your unit will void your warranty. Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up. Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to fall, resulting in injury and product damage. Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights 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. 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.

Using TV Guide

TV GuideElectronic Programme Guide (EPG) provides an on-screen listing of the programmes currently broadcast and the forthcoming broadcasts over the next seven days (depending on the broadcasters).
This function varies depending on the country you select (p. 12). DVB-T and Analogue channels are displayed on the same TV Guide screen. Analogue channels will be listed after DVB-T channels but there will be no programme listings. “D” means DVB-T channel and “A” means Analogue channel. When this TV is turned on for the first time, or the TV is switched off for more than a week, it may take some time before the TV Guide is completely shown.
