Station Naming is described on page 15.

Programme Edit menu is described on page 16.

Notes :

The required channels can be manually stored by either searching for the required channel using the on screen display or by keying in the channel number if known.

If your VCR does not operate on programme position '0' then it is probable that your VCR is not tuned to channel 36. This can be corrected by selecting programme position '0' and adjusting the RF output channel of your VCR, further details appear on page 23. IT IS IMPORTANT that you use only programme position '0' for your VCR'. Programme positions other than '0' are not suitable for use with your VCR

It is possible that in some areas, you may suffer interference patterning on screen when using your VCR with the RF output set to channel 36. This can be corrected by changing the RF output channel of your VCR to a different setting, further details appear on page 23.

Notes :

Your dealer may have programmed the TV ready for use. If this has not been done then the Auto setup menu will have run automatically the first time that you switched the TV on. Under normal circumstances there will be no need to access this menu. However, if, for example, you move to a different area then you will probably want the TV to tune itself to your new local stations.

This can be done either through the Auto setup menu or through the Shipping Condition menu. Details of Shipping condition menu appear on page 18.

It is possible, especially in areas where you are able to receive more than one transmitter, that you may prefer to rearrange the order of the selection of stations. This can be achieved through the Programme edit menu, as detailed on pages 16 and 17.

■ Service

Before requesting service, please refer to the trouble-shooting guide on previous page to determine the symptoms. To obtain service please contact your local Panasonic dealer quoting the model number and serial number (both are located at the rear of the TV).

■ TV Games / Home Computers

Extended use of TV games or home computers with any television set can cause a permanent 'shadow' on the screen. This type of irreversible picture tube damage, can be limited by observing the following points:

• Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a minimum viewing level.
• Do not operate the television set for a continuous period of time while using TV games or home computers.
• This type of picture tube damage, is not an operating defect, and as such is not covered by the Panasonic warranty.

■ Last Position Memory

Certain functions have a last position memory, i.e. the setting at the time of switch-off will be the setting used when the receiver is switched on again:

Programme	TInt (M.NTSC / NTSC only)
AV Position	Contrast
Volume	Sharpness
NICAM On/Off	Aspect
Bass	Standby
Treble	Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Colour	Brightness
Status	Balance

Music/speech mode Ambience

■ Sleep Feature

If the set is not switched off when the TV station stops transmitting, it will automatically go to standby mode after 30 minutes. This function will not operate when the TV is in AV mode.
