Nonetheless, if the fitted plug is replaced, the fuse should be taken out and the cut--off
plug disposed of safely. There is danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is
inserted into any 13 amp. socket.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
How to replace the fuse (for plug type shown in example 1) :
Lift out the removable fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse, then refit

Panasonic Auto
Panasonic Auto determines the best aspect ratio to use to
display the picture you are viewing. It does this using a four
step process to determine if the picture being viewed is a
widescreen picture.
If Panasonic Auto detects a widescreen signal it switches
into the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen mode. If
Panasonic Auto does not detect a widescreen signal then
the picture is displayed in Just or 4:3 mode.
’WIDE’ appears in the top left of the screen, Panasonic Auto
switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio.
The text shown on the screen indicates how Panasonic
Auto determined which ratio to use:
’WIDE’ appears in the top left of the screen if a
widescreeen identification signal (WSS) is found or a
signal found through a Scart socket. Panasonic Auto
switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio
’Panasonic Auto’ appears in the top left of the screen if
black stripes above and below the picture are detected.
Panasonic Auto chooses the best ratio and expands the
picture to fill the screen. This process can take several
minutes, depending how dark the picture is.
’Panasonic Auto’ appears in the top left of the screen and
red and green keys at the bottom if no indication of a
widescreen signal is found, the picture is displayed in Just
or 4:3 mode. If the picture has a standard 4:3 aspect ratio
then you may prefer to view it at its original size, the red
and green keys that appear allow you to choose between
viewing at standard 4:3 size or expanded in Just mode.
Equally, you may prefer to select one of the other modes
available to view the picture.

’Panasonic Auto’ appears in the top left of the screen,
The best ratio is chosen and the picture expanded to fill the screen.

Notes:
D If, in Panasonic 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).
D 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

VCR AND SATELLITE RECEIVER INSTALLATION
Your new TV is supplied with programme position ‘0’ set to receive an RF signal from your VCR, although a Scart connection is
preferable if the VCR is so equipped.
However, if for some reason your VCR is tuned to a different RF channel then you will not receive any picture or sound from your VCR
on programme position ‘0’ of the TV. It will be necessary to either adjust the RF channel of your VCR (some VCR’s allow adjustment of
their RF channel via their remote control unit) or to adjust the tuning of the TV’s programme position ‘0’ or both until it receives the RF
output channel of your VCR.
It is intended that this advice is used in conjunction with the instruction books for your additional equipment.
Use the AV1 Scart terminal for a VCR.
Use the AV2S Scart terminal for an S--Video VCR.
Use the AV2S Scart terminal for a Q--Link, NEXTVIEWLINK or compatible VCR.
To tune your TV to the VCR
