To avoid malfunctions caused by radio wave interface, keep the TV away from the devices such as other ●
wireless LAN devices, microwaves and the devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals when using the
Wireless LAN Adaptor.
When noises occur due to the static electricity, etc., the TV might stop operating for the protection of the ●

manufacturers of digital equipment, some on screen commands may
not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

Note

As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, ●
software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for
approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow
the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is
complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again
when the download is complete.
While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when ●
moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt
shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that

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 or the USB HDD. 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 (p. 22).

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 the recording of Timer Programming is in progress.●
It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).●
When recording programmes to the external recorder, 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. 88) and the “Link Settings”
(p. 34) 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. 34) 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.
When recording programmes to the USB HDD, be sure to register the USB HDD and enable it for recording in the ●
“USB HDD Setup” (p. 64).
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.

SD Card

If the SD Card does not meet SD standards, it may cause the TV to malfunction.●
Do not remove the card while the TV is accessing data (this can damage card or TV).●
Do not touch the pins on the back of the card.●
Do not subject the card to a high pressure or impact.●
Insert the card in the correct direction (otherwise the card or TV may be damaged).●
Electrical interference, static electricity, or erroneous operation may damage the data or ●
card.
Back up the recorded data at regular intervals in case of deteriorated or damaged data ●
or erratic operation of the TV. (Panasonic is not liable for any deterioration or damage of
recorded data.)
