Follow the procedures for programming your Remote Control with and without codes for the component. Determine the manufacturer of the component and look in the table for the code. Note: Be careful to press ACTION in the middle of the button. If you do not press in the middle of the button, the (CH) channel or (VOL) volume keys may be activated. This will interrupt your programming. Programming With Code Confirm that the external component is plugged in and is turned on. Turn the component off. Press the ACTION and POWER button, together, for at least 5 seconds. All mode buttons will flash, then let go of the buttons. Press appropriate component button (VCR, CBL, etc.) on the Remote Control. The pressed button will illuminate steadily. All other buttons will go out. Enter the 3-digit component code using the Remote Control numeric keypad (0 ~ 9 buttons). If a proper code was entered, the mode button will blink twice and go out. Press the Remote Control POWER button to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn on. NE. | =< Unsuccessful Code If the component does not operate with the Remote Control, repeat the procedure using another code. (Some brands have multiple codes.) If an incorrect code is entered, or if the procedure takes longer than 30 seconds, the programming will fail. Programming Without Code This procedure searches all codes and is called the “sequence method”. Note: Confirm that the external component is plugged in and is turned on. Turn the component off. Press the ACTION and POWER button, together, for at least 5 seconds. All mode buttons will flash, then iet go of the button. Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control. The pressed button will illuminate. All other buttons will go out. Press the VOL E> button to move forward to the next code. Press the VOL $ button to move backward. Press the Remote Control POWER button to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn on. Repeat the praceding two steps until the component code is found. It may lake many attempts before the correct code is found. After the code is found, press the ACTION button to store the code.

INSIDE TV FRONT PANEL 7 , vers €) © GLOSSARY Glossary Digital Television Digital Television (DTV) broadcasts are scheduled to become available in 10 major U.S. markets. Broadcasts will be in both high definition (HDTV) and standard definition (SDTV). The HDTV signal formats are 1080i (interlaced scan) and 720p (progressive scan). SDTV signal formats are 480i and 480p. HDTV-Compatible (1080i) HDTV-compatible TV models process and display the high definition output from a DTV Set-top Box (STB) at 1080i (interlaced) lines. When 1080i HDTV is available in your viewing area, your TV will be compatible when using a Panasonic DTV-STB, Panasonic model #TU-DST50. SDTV-Compatible (480p) SDTV-compatible TV models process and display the standard definition output with the use of a Panasonic DTV-STB at 480 lines, interlaced or progressive scan. When DTV programming is available, you can view it in the standard format, 4:3 aspect ratio. DTV Compatibility of PT-56WXF90 This TV is capable of displaying the 1080i HDTV signal as well as the 480p SDTV signal using the Panasonic DTV-STB, model TU-DST50. In order to view DTV programming, the TV must be connected to DTV-STB component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pe) and audio inputs and in DTV mode. A DTV signal must be available in your area and the DTV-STB must be tuned to the proper channel. Note: DVD players should be connected to the S-Video input unless the DVD is 480p output. Color Matrix Adjustment When viewing DTV programming from a DTV-STB, this TV automatically adjusts the color parameters between 10801 and 480p transmissions. However, when viewing a nonstandard DTV signal format, you can change the color parameters manually in the Roller Guide PICTURE Menu for best picture quality. Progressive Scan Progressive scan de-interlaces the incoming signal and progressively scans the image. This allows you to sit very close to the TV and not see the thin black horizontal scan {ines (venetian blind effect) associated with an interlaced picture. Vertical Position Adjustment (V-Position) When operating this TV in ZOOM aspect, you can raise or lower the image depending on your personal viewing preference in the PICTURE Menu under V-POSITION. Five Speaker Sound System The 5-speaker sound system combines 2 full-range speakers with 2 tweeters to reproduce the entire range of audio in crisp, clear stereo. The fifth speaker, a center speaker, allows you to play center channel audio through the TV without the need for an external speaker. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DIGITAL TV Frequently Asked Questions About Digital TV What is digital TV (DTV)? In April, 1997, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) announced that, by 2006, all television broadcasting will be digital. Digital TV broadcasting delivers crystal-clear pictures, approaching the quality of 35mm movies and CD (compact disc) sound. Digital broadcasts include both High Definition Television (HDTV) and Standard Definition Television (SDTV). Broadcasters may choose their own broadcast formats. HDTV (High Definition Television) One form of digital broadcasting is HDTV, which provides the highest resolution picture. Besides incredible picture, the sound is available in the 5.1 channel surround sound. SDTV (Standard Definition Television) Another form of digital broadcasting is SDTV, which provides lower resolution, but still presents a very sharp, clear picture. Lower resolution allows broadcasters to transmit more than one program per channel. When will TV stations start broadcasting digital signals? Television stations are required to continue broadcasting regular TV signals along side the digital signals until 2006. Cable TV and satellite TV are not affected by this FCC ruling. All stations are required to become digital by 2006. This will be an evolutionary process. According to the FCC, digital broadcasting must be available in the top ten markets, covering 30% of households by May 1999. By the end of 1999, digital broadcasting must be available in the top 30 markets, covering 50% of households. Will | be able to adapt my current TV to receive digital broadcasts? Manufacturers will offer a digital TV set-top box (DTV-STB) which will allow current televisions to display digitally broadcast programs. The picture and sound quality will be about the same as small dish digital satellite systems today. Conventional televisions (non-digital televisions) will not be able to display the HDTV resolution quality or sound. What digital formats will broadcasters use? There are presently four DTV formats: 1080i (interlaced), 720p (progressive), 480i and 480p. The higher numbers indicate a higher resolution picture. In an interlaced picture, the odd numbered lines (picture information) are scanned first creating field 1 and then the even numbered lines are scanned, creating field 2. The two fields are then interlaced to provide the entire image (one frame). This process happens in 1/30 of a second and is invisible to the human eye. In progressive scanning, all lines in the entire frame are scanned sequentially in 1/60" of a second. Broadcasters may choose to transmit different levels of resolution throughout the day, broadcasting day programs in SDTV and night sports and movies in HDTV.
