Dear Panasonic Customer

Welcome to the Panasonic family of customers. We hope that you will have many years of enjoyment from your new Wide Projection television set.

To obtain maximum benefit from your set, please read these Instructions before making any adjustments, and retain them for future reference.

Retain your purchase receipt also, and note down the Model Number and Serial Number of your set in the space provided on the rear cover of these Instructions.

Important Information

(1) The long time (max. 2 hours) use of a TV game on this set is not recommended, since the signal from the TV game may cause damage to the picture projection tubes of the set.

(2) Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the

Projection TV screen.

Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images and teletext.

If still picture cannot be avoided, reduce the brightness and contrast levels of the picture to minimize any damage that might occur.

(3) In order to minimize any damage to the projection tubes, this set uses the PICTURE SHIFT function (Refer to page 23) to change

(shift) the entire pictures approximately 2 mm every 15 minutes.

Selection” operation on page 21.

(2)

After the Manual tune or the Automatic tune is finished, under the normal viewing condition press this button to confirm the tuning condition for each Programme Number. If some Programme Numbers are unused (no TV stations), it is possible to skip such Programme Numbers. Please refer to the Programme Number Skip operation on page 20.

(3) When using a VCR without video and audio input/output terminals, it is convenient to connect the aerial cable as indicated in the instruction manual of VCR and to set the designated channel to programme No. “0”. In that case, perform manual tune after setting the colour system and sound system in advance. Further, in multi-system VCR, it is more convenient to set the designated channel to several programme Numbers.

Accessing sub pages

When Teletext information exceeds one page, it may take some time for the automatic changing of the sub pages to reach the sub page you require. As each sub page is found its number is displayed at the top of the page so that you may select it; as more sub pages are picked up, the display at the top of the page changes, so that you are always offered the most recently transmitted selection of sub pages.

In Teletext operation, use the following procedure to access sub pages:

If the sub page you want to look at is not yet available, press the MENU button (to display special functions) followed by the Yellow button to view the TV picture whilst waiting for more sub pages to be found. The sub pages found will be displayed across the top of the screen.

When the sub page you are waiting for is available press the Yellow button to return to viewing the

Teletext pages, then use the left and right cursor buttons to select the sub page of your choice.

Notes:

• If you do not want to display the on screen selector keys on the TV picture whilst waiting for a sub page to be found, press the MENU button to clear the keys from the screen. Press again to redisplay the keys.

• If you have cleared the special function keys from the screen and then used the left and right cursor buttons to select a sub page, whilst still viewing the TV picture, you must press the MENU button then the Yellow button to display the Teletext page again.

• If the top of the page indicates that sub pages are being transmitted but the page displayed never changes, then the ‘sub page number’ is there to show the page contents have been updated, there are no sub pages.

Alternatively, if you know which sub page you require, press the MENU button (to display special functions) followed by the Blue button; T**** will be displayed where the page number is normally found.

Enter desired sub page number before the T**** disappears.

e.g., to select page 6 enter 0, 0, 0 and 6.

Press the Yellow button to view the TV picture whilst waiting for more sub pages to be found. The sub pages found will be displayed across the top of the screen.

When the page is available, press the Yellow button to view the page. Regardless of how many pages are found, pressing the Yellow button will take you to the sub page which you requested.
