Panasonic and the Environment
REDUCE ~ REUSE ~ RECYCLE
Dear Panasonic Customer
Thank you for choosing to buy a Panasonic colour television. This product was assembled at our Panasonic
Television Factory in Penrith, New South Wales, Australia under an internationally accredited Quality and
Environmental Management System. You can therefore be assured that you have purchased a quality product incorporating environmentally friendly features, such as lead free soldering, to reduced potential environmental impacts.
As part of our commitment to conserving natural resources, we provide the following information about the reuse, recycling and disposal of your packaging.
Cardboard
Cardboard comprises up to 75% of the packaging in your Panasonic TV and all of our cartons are manufactured with optimum levels of recycled fibre.
1.
Reuse
Cartons can be readily folded and packed flat for storage and made up when required for later use.
2.
Recycling
If you, or someone else has no further use for the carton, it can be flattened or cut up and placed into the recycle bin or service provided by your local council (applicable for most parts of Australia). By recycling the cardboard you are benefiting the environment by reducing waste to landfill and reducing the dependence on virgin forest timbers for paper fibre.
Plastics
Panasonic is reducing the number of different plastics used in both the television and its packaging.
Unfortunately you are unable to include the type of plastic used in television packaging in the curbside-recycling program. Polystyrene foam and other plastic will need to be placed in your general waste bin.
About Panasonic

Packaging Covenant’. The covenant is an agreement between governments and member companies aimed at reducing the amount of waste going to landfill through REDUCING, REUSING and
RECYCLING.
Panasonic Australia Pty Limited and Panasonic AVC Networks Australia Pty Ltd have
Environmental Management Systems in place that are internationally certified to ISO14001.
Both companies are committed to reducing reusing and recycling and contribute funding to support the curbside recycling of packaging and the recycling of colour television receivers.

Important Information
Warning
*
*
*
This television is very heavy (please see page 39). Most of the weight is at the front of the television.
Although the television has been tilt tested and meets current Australian and International Standards, we recommend that great care be taken when positioning the television.
* Do not allow the front of the set to overhang the stand or cabinet.
Make sure that the stand or cabinet is flat and does not lean forward.
Do not allow anyone to climb or sit on the television.
Do not place any heavy weights on the television.
Owner ID
This television lets you to prove ownership by letting you enter personal identification into it. The “Owner ID” function allows you to enter a security code and address information so that in the unfortunate event of theft it will help the Police to determine the owner. Details of setting the Owner ID are on page 20.
Note: Do not record your PIN in this book.
As a further security precaution, please retain your proof of purchase along with these operating instructions.
Space has been made available on page 36 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.
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 this booklet “Programme Location Numbers” are referred to. These
are memory locations 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 which 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, or into Standby 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 19 for operating instructions for the GEOMAGNETIC feature.

P-NR
The P-NR (Picture Noise Reduction) system is designed to reduce picture noise during poor quality reception conditions. Pushing the left or right buttons will change the setting between Off, Strong, Weak and Auto.
Scan mode
The Scan mode control allows you to change the Picture refresh setting between
75/883i, 100Hz and Progressive.
The 75/883i mode gives a faster refresh rate and more lines than a standard television. 100Hz will give a steady picture for most signals. Progressive is recommended when receiving NTSC signals.
NOTE: The scan mode function is not available when Picture in Picture is being used.
Notes:
1. You can change the level for each function (Contrast, Brightness, Colour, Sharpness and NTSC-Tint) for each picture menu option.
2. Picture menu levels can be set for TV, AV1, AV2, AV3, AV4 and AV5 modes.
3. NTSC-TINT only appears when the TV is receiving NTSC signals and the television is in the AV mode.
4. Only CONTRAST will be displayed in TELETEXT mode.
5. We recommend that you set the Scan mode to Progressive when viewing a PAL 60 or NTSC transmission. When viewing a PAL transmission (other than PAL 60) with the Scan mode set to
Progressive, the screen will flicker. This is not a fault.
6. The Multipip function will not operate when a Progressive signal is used.

Pressing the Normal ( ) Button on the remote control, will return all picture settings to the factory preset levels. This is called “Normalisation”.

Dolby Virtual
Phantom Centre Speaker
A Virtual Dolby Surround System attempts to create the same surround effect produced by a multi-channel system using only the left and right speakers.
The general conceptual model of a Virtual Dolby Surround System divides the centre signal equally between the left and right speakers to achieve a Phantom Centre Image. It also processes the Virtual surround signal before sending it to the left and right speakers, creating a virtual image around the listener.
The virtual effect is stronger with Dolby Surround encoded movies.
Switching the Dolby virtual to OFF gives you normal television sound.

This television lets you to prove ownership by letting you enter personal identification into it. The “Owner I.D” function allows you to enter a security code and address information so that in the unfortunate event of theft it will help the Police to determine the owner.
Refer to page 20 for instructions on how to set the Owner I.D.
Reproduction of irregular signals such as certain video (AV Mode only) games or some rental video tapes may be improved by turning the VCR/GAME feature On.
Colour system
(AV Mode only)
This option is only available in AV mode. It allows you to select the correct colour system for the signal being received. If a clear picture with correct colours cannot be obtained, a change to the Colour System may improve the picture. The settings are AUTO, PAL, NTSC4.43 and NTSC3.58. The Australian and New Zealand colour system is PAL.
Note: PAL and NTSC3.58 are different colour signal broadcast transmission systems applicable to differing countries. NTSC4.43 is a system used in special VCRs to playback NTSC recorded tapes on a PAL television.

Setup menu - 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.

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.

This button is used to move through the different aspect ratios. The aspect options are
Auto, 16:9, 14:9, JUST, 4:3, Zoom1, Zoom2 and Zoom3.
Auto
This option determines the best aspect ratio to use to fill your screen. If Auto detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen mode.
16:9
This option will display a true 16:9 (anamorphic) picture with no aspect distortion.
16 : 9
14:9
This option will display a 14:9 letterbox or 4:3 picture with no aspect distortion.
14 : 9
JUST
This option gives you a “best fit” option when showing 4:3 on wide screen. The centre of the picture is not affected but there is some stretching at the edges.
4 : 3
4.3
This option will display a standard 4:3 picture with no aspect distortion.

Notes:
If, in Auto mode, you experience problems with the screen display size when playing back widescreen format recordings from your VCR then it is possible that the tracking control of your VCR requires adjustment (your VCR instruction book will contain adjustment details).
The widescreen aspect ratios of different films and programmes can vary. If these are wider than a standard 16:9 aspect picture then a black band may be visible at the top and bottom of the screen.

TELETEXT Operation
Teletext is only available on certain broadcast channels. The time taken to display the pages and sub-pages is set by the teletext transmitter and not by the television.
Teletext is also used for Closed Captioning of television programmes. Captions are used by people who are deaf, hearing impaired, learning English or viewing in a noisy environment.
Captions differ from foreign language subtitles in that they are coloured and positioned to indicate who is speaking, and provide information on music and sound effects which may be crucial to the understanding of the program.
Closed captions can be found on Teletext Page 801.
TOP (Table Of Pages) mode
In TOPTEXT mode, the red button moves to the previous page number and the green button moves to the next page number. The yellow and blue buttons correspond to different subjects. These subjects can be accessed by Pushing the coloured button. This is the current preferred method of operation in Australia.
FASTEXT or FLOF (Full Level One Features) mode
In FASTEXT mode, four differently coloured subjects are displayed at the bottom of the screen. To access more information about one of these subjects, push the corresponding colour coded button on the remote control. This is the current preferred method of operation in New Zealand.
List mode
In List mode, four different coloured page numbers are shown at the bottom of the screen. Each of these numbers can be altered and stored in the TV’s memory. These coloured page numbers correspond to the colour coded buttons on the remote control.
Please refer to page 19 for instructions on how to change modes between TOP or FASTEXT and List.

Customer Information
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 which 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 1,2,3,4,5?
Answer: Someone has performed an Auto tuning of your television. You will have to retune each channel individually using the Manual tuning Instructions on page 27.
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.
3.
You can press the 9 button followed by the channel up button ( /\ ).
You can tune channel 10 into another position such as programme location 0.
Question: My channel number is still on the screen. How do I 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 26 for automatic tuning and on page 27 for tuning individual stations.
Question: I have done an “auto tuning” because the book told me to. If I am only to do manual tuning, why is automatic search first in the book?
Answer: The automatic tuning and the manual tuning each have specific uses. The reason for each is clearly described in the book. The reason that automatic tuning is described first is because this is the first option on the screen.
Question: I have started the auto tuning by accident. How do I stop it?
Answer: Pushing the remote control TV/AV button at any time will stop the Auto tuning and return you to normal viewing.
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 non existent. The reasons may be:
1.
The television station may have stopped transmitting.
2.
3.
4.
You may have selected a programme number which has not yet been tuned.
You may have been watching a videotape or DVD and it has stopped playing.
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 ( /\ ) or Down ( \/ ) Buttons.
Question: When I use the channel up or channel down why don’t I get all the channels?
Answer: Some of the channels may be “Skipped”. See page 29.
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 22, 23 and 24.
