Important Information  
Warning  
This television weighs 57kg. 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.  
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 that  
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 with the Power On/Off Switch (not with  
the remote control) 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 31 for operating instructions for the GEOMAGNETIC feature.  
Analogue and Digital television - what are they?  
Analogue transmission is the system that has been used for many years for broadcasting television  
programmes. With continuous improvements in technology it is now possible to transmit programmes in a  
digital format, allowing clearer pictures, more stations and other services to be displayed on screen.  
Digital television is provided in three different ways; it can be sent along a cable connection direct to your  
house, broadcast from a satellite, or broadcast using traditional land based (terrestrial) transmitters. The  
first two options require you to have an extra 'set top box' decoder and in the case of satellite, a receiving  
dish mounted outdoors.  
While allowing you to receive traditional analogue transmissions in the usual way, this television can also  
®
receive terrestrial digital services using an integrated  
(Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder. This  
allows you to enjoy the new era of digital terrestrial television without the need for a 'set top box' or  
satellite dish – a good roof mounted antenna is all you should need.

Connecting the Aerial  
For your safety any external aerial should be installed by a reputable qualified installer and should comply  
with Australian Standard AS1417.1. The RF (Aerial) Input impedance of this television is 75? . If your  
aerial lead is 300? ribbon (two wires separated by a flat plastic sheet) you will require a 300? /75? Balun  
in order to connect your aerial to the television.  
If you are just using the television with no other equipment (VCR, DVD Player, Set Top Box etc) then  
connect the aerial as per step 1. If you are connecting VCR then connect the aerial as shown in step 2. If  
your VCR is Q-Link compatible then go to step 3.

Aspect control  
This button is used to move through the different aspect ratios. The aspect options are Panasonic Auto,  
16:9, 14:9, 4:3, Zoom1, Zoom2 and Zoom3.  
Panasonic Auto determines the best aspect ratio to use to fill your screen. 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 this advanced TV set enhances the  
picture for optimum viewing.  
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 widescreen 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 on the darkness of the picture.  
You may prefer to manually select one of the other aspect options available to view the picture.  
Notes:  
-
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).  
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.

DVB Timer Programming  
For an external VCR to record DVB programmes, the integrated DVB system must be active to provide  
the signal.  
The Timer programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to record. At the correct  
time, the DVB system will switch on and tune to the correct station (even if the TV is in standby mode). If  
the VCR is compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies (see page 28) you do not need to program the  
VCR - the DVB system will control the recording process.  
The VCR must be connected to the TV using a SCART cable to record DVB programmes.  
Note: this will only work with a Q-Link or similar VCR. For normal VCRs you will also have to programme  
the VCR as well.

While in the Date field of the DVB Timer Programming menu, you can select various options to determine  
how often a recording should be made. Press the down cursor button repeatedly to access the following  
options:  
daily SU-SA  
The VCR will record at the same time every day.  
daily MO-SA  
The VCR will record at the same time each day from Monday to Saturday.  
daily MO-FR  
The VCR will record at the same time each day from Monday to Friday.  
weekly SA, FR, TH, WE, TU, MO, or SU  
The VCR will record at the same time on the same day each week.  
Note:  
If new timer programme data overlaps any part of an existing timer programme, the message "Timer  
Incorrect" will be displayed and the new data will be cleared. If overlapping data is entered using the  
Timer function on the TV Guide menu (see page 18), the message "Timer cannot be set! Selected  
programme time repeated or overlapped" will appear.  
Note: this will only work with a Q-Link or similar VCR. For normal VCRs you will also have to programme  
the VCR as well.  
Encrypted Programmes  
Some DVB programmes will be "encrypted".  
This means that the DVB programme cannot be viewed or recorded unless you have the correct  
Common Interface module to decode the programme.  
When you attempt to view or set Timer recording of an encrypted programme and you have no Cl module  
inserted, a message saying that you are not subscribed to this service will appear on screen.

The indication is green for good signal

The DVB system requires a good quality  
signal to provide the best picture. When  
viewing analogue pictures, interference such  
as signal reflection from nearby buildings or  
mountains causes 'ghosting', but still  
provides a viewable picture. For the DVB  
system, interference such as this can disrupt  
the flow of data causing the picture to

For Q-Link communication to work, the TV must be connected to a VCR with the "Q-Link",  
“NEXTVIEWLINK", "DATALOGIC", "EasyLink", "Megalogic" or "SMARTLINK" logo using a "fully wired"  
Scart cable between the AV2 socket of the television and the appropriate socket on your VCR.  
For connection to the appropriate Scart socket on the VCR, refer to your VCR operating instruction book.  
When using a "Q-Link" VCR the main features possible are the following:

Because a standard VCR cannot tune to DVB stations, only the analogue programme positions are  
downloaded to the VCR.  
During downloading, the analogue channels are downloaded to the VCR in the same order as they are  
found.  
The fact that the analogue programme positions stored on the TV and those stored on the VCR do not  
match will not affect recording via Q-Link. When recording an analogue station using the DIRECT TV  
REC button (see page 29), the TV will instruct the VCR to select the correct programme position for that  
station.

the DIRECT TV REC button.  
If a "Q-Link" VCR is connected a message will appear on the TV screen showing what is being recorded,

If you press the DIRECT TV REC button while watching a DVB station, the VCR will automatically switch  
to its AV input to record the DVB signal from the TV (via the SCART cable), and the DVB programme  
position will be locked. If you attempt to select another DVB programme position while recording, you will  
see the message "This programme is locked". Press the OK button to clear the message, or the EXIT  
button to unlock the programme. Beware that if you press EXIT the DVB programme will be unlocked -  
switching to another DVB programme will spoil your intended recording.  
With a Panasonic Q-Link VCR connected, these additional features are available:  
TV / VCR Auto Power On  
If you insert a tape in the VCR and press the Play button whilst the TV is in 'Standby' mode, the TV  
will automatically switch On and select the AV2 input so that you can view the tape.  
VCR Auto Power Standby  
When the TV is switched into 'Standby' mode, the VCR will also switch into 'Standby' mode if there  
is no tape in the VCR. If there is a tape in and the VCR is in 'Rewind' or 'Stop' mode (if the VCR is  
rewinding a tape, it will not switch into 'Standby' mode until rewinding has finished).  
VCR Image View On  
If the TV is in Standby mode and the VCR sends a menu to be displayed on the TV screen (e.g.  
Main menu), the TV will automatically switch On and the menu will be displayed.  
Important Notes:  
1.  
Not all VCRs support this type of data communication system. Some may support certain features,  
but not others. Refer to the VCR operating instruction book.  
2.  
If Q-Link is inoperative, first confirm that your Scart cable is a "fully wired" type. Ask your dealer for  
further details.

Tuning Menu – Shipping condition  
Shipping condition allows you to reset the TV to its original condition, i.e. no channels tuned in.  
This is useful, for example, if you move to a different area when you will probably want the TV to tune  
itself to your new local stations.  
This can be done either through the Shipping condition menu or through the Auto setup menu.  
The Shipping condition menu will reset all data, clearing all tuning information and resetting all control  
levels back to factory settings.  
You may need to adjust your VCR or programme position '0' VCR after operating the Shipping condition

VCR Installation  
Your new TV is supplied with programme position '0' set to receive an RF signal from your VCR, although  
an AV connection is preferable. Please refer to page 40 for AV connections.  
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 be used in conjunction with the instruction books for your additional  
equipment  
Use the AV2 Scart terminal for a standard VCR or an S-Video VCR or a Q-Link (or compatible) VCR.  
To tune your TV to the VCR  
Switch on the VCR, Insert and play a  
pre-recorded tape with known content

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 that 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.  
If the answer to your problem is not in this list, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as  
shown on the next page. The location of the nearest service centre can be obtained from the Panasonic  
Customer Care Centre on 132600.  
Question: My channel number is still on the screen. How do I turn it off?  
Answer:  
If the channel number is a small yellow (digital) or white (analogue) number on the top left of  
the screen, press the information button ( i ) 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 25 for all channels and on pages 26 or  
27 for analogue channels.  
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 page 33.  
Question: I turned my television to Standby with the remote control and then I turned it off with  
the power switch. I turned the TV back on with the power switch but it’s still in  
Standby and I can’t find my remote control. How can I turn the TV back on?  
Answer:  
Press the front panel Up (+ / /\) or Down (- / \/) button. See page 10.  
DVB Questions  
Question: Why are there no DVB channels listed in the TV Guide after Auto Setup?  
Answer:  
Not all areas are covered by DVB transmissions. You may need to point your aerial to  
another transmitter.  
It could also be caused by poor signal quality. Check analogue channels. If the picture  
quality is poor you may need to change or improve your aerial system. Consult a reputable  
installer.  
Question: I get “blocky” interference and sometimes the picture freezes?  
Answer:  
This could be caused by poor signal quality. To check the quality of your signal use the  
Signal Quality feature described on page 21. It is also possible that the interference is  
coming from the broadcaster.  
Question: I have a good aerial system but still cannot receive DVB stations?  
Answer:  
If you have tried the previous solutions and are still unable to receive DVB channels, you  
may need to provide dedicated aerial feeds to the TV and other equipment. This can be  
done by using a splitter or separate aerials.  
Question: Why does the guide show DVB stations but I cannot receive them?  
Answer:  
Some of the digital channels are high definition (HD) signals. This television is standard  
definition (SD) and will not display these channels.
