Frequently Asked Questions - TC-15DT2 PANASONIC

How do I connect my Panasonic TC-15DT2 to a cable box?

Use an RF coaxial cable from the cable box's output to the ANT IN terminal on the TV. Then tune to channel 3 or 4 as instructed by the cable box.

Why is there no picture but sound is working?

Check if the brightness or contrast settings are too low. Also ensure the input source is correct (e.g., TV, AV). If using external device, verify the connection.

How to set up the remote control?

Insert two AA batteries (not included) into the remote, matching the polarity. Point the remote at the TV's infrared sensor and press any button to test.

The TV turns off by itself after a few minutes. What can I do?

This may be due to the sleep timer being activated. Press the SLEEP button repeatedly to turn it off. Also check for overheating by ensuring ventilation slots are clear.

Can I connect a DVD player to this TV?

Yes, use a composite AV cable (yellow, white, red) to connect the DVD player's AV OUT to the AV IN on the TV. Select AV source using the input button.

How do I clean the screen?

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the screen. Do not apply liquids or cleaning solutions directly. If needed, slightly dampen the cloth with water and wipe gently.

The picture is distorted or has lines. What should I check?

Ensure the antenna or cable connection is secure. Try fine-tuning channels via the menu. Also avoid placing magnetic speakers or other devices near the TV.

How to replace the power cord?

The power cord is not user-replaceable. Contact a qualified technician or Panasonic service center for replacement to avoid electric shock.

Is there a headphone jack?

Yes, a 3.5 mm headphone jack is located on the side or back panel. Insert headphones to mute the internal speaker automatically.

The remote control doesn't work. What can I do?

Check that batteries are fresh and installed correctly. Ensure there are no obstacles between remote and TV. Try pressing a button while looking at a camera phone to see if infrared flashes; if not, replace remote.

Features of DVD on this Product

High picture quality

• 10 bit video D/A converter

Reproduces fine images faithfully.

- An array of picture quality modes yielded by digital processing

Signal deterioration is kept to minimum by processing the data digitally.

This feature can be used to tailor picture quality for DVD playback.

High sound quality

• 96 kHz/24 bit audio D/A converter

This player enables 96 kHz/24 bit linear PCM signals, the highest specifications in DVD standards, to be reproduced faithfully. To support 96 kHz sampling/24 bit sound, the shaping noise of this multilevel digital sigma type D/A converter is kept flat up to 44 kHz, thus preventing the audio signals from being affected in any way. This means sound is reproduced faithfully.

- Advanced Dolby Digital/dts (digital theater systems) 5.1ch surround decoder (See pages 11 and 62.)

The advanced Dolby Digital /dts 5.1ch surround decoder incorporated in this player comes with speaker mode settings which support the low-range reproduction capability of the speakers, speaker level settings, delay time adjustment*, audio dynamic range suppression, and other features.

* Delay time adjustment is effective only for Dolby Digital DVDs (center and surround channels).

- Dolby Digital/dts (digital theater systems) digital output (See page 11.)

By connecting a Dolby Digital/dts decoder or an amplifier incorporating a Dolby Digital/dts decoder, you can enjoy high quality digital surround sound from Dolby Digital/dts discs.

Advanced Virtual Surround Sound (VSS) function (See page 28-29.)

Even when two front speakers are being used, simply press the VSS (Virtual Surround Sound) button during playback of a Dolby Digital DVD (2 channel or over) to provide a rear surround effect. This effect also works while listening with headphones. (This does not work with Karaoke DVDs. The effect depends on the kind of DVD used.)

Marker function (See page 51.)

This player can store a maximum of 5 positions in memory for convenient access.

Dialogue Enhancer (See pages 43 and 49.)

During playback of Dolby Digital/dts DVDs (2 channel or over) with the dialogue contained in the center channel, this function will boost the sound level of the center channel so that it is easier to hear the dialogue on movie software.

Graphical User Interface (GUI) screen (See page 46.)

By simply pressing the DISPLAY button on the remote control, information on the DVD/Video CD/CD player and disc can be displayed on the TV screen for easy identification. The player's operations and settings can be easily accessed by operating the joystick on the remote control while monitoring the TV screen. The color and position of the GUI screen can be changed.

Versatile DVD features

Enjoying digital audio output from the digital audio output connector

Note when connecting the optical digital audio cable

• Remove the dust protection cap from the optical digital audio output connector and connect the cable firmly so that the configurations of both the cable and the connector match.
• Keep the dust protection cap and reattach when not using the connector.

	dts*3	PCM (2ch) (44.1 kHz/16 bit)*2 or dts bitstream (1–5.1ch)*1

*1 The type of audio output from the connector can be selected by "7 Digital Audio Output" of the initial settings. (See page 61.)

* 2 Compressed sound converted to PCM will be output.

*3The settings and connections necessary to enjoy CDs recorded in dts are the same as for DVDs recorded in dts.

Note

- Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts interface may not work properly with the DVD/Video CD/CD player.

For your reference:

• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
• The digital theater systems (dts) is a 5.1-channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie theatres around the world. It allows the bit rate to be increased in order to provide good sound quality without excessively compressing the data.
• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in a CD. While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
• The digital audio output connector (optical) converts electrical signals into optical signals and transfers them to an amplifier. These optical signals are immune from electrical interference, and they also have minimal effect on other equipment.

Caution for the optional/coaxial digital audio output connector:

• Do not connect to the digital audio input of an amplifier that does not have Dolby Digital/dts/MPEG audio decoder.
• If such an amplifier should be connected to the player with "Bitstream" selected at the "2 Dolby digital", "3 DTS Digital Surround" (see page 61), any attempt to play DVDs (or CDs recorded in dts) may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
  • Video CDs and CDs can be played as they would normally be played.

For your reference:

- When the "2 On" is selected at the "5 Still Picture Display", the following screen is displayed in the still picture mode;

Still (P)

Example: P-Picture

- Field

Half of the video information (video signal) in a frame is called a field. With conventional TV systems, a signal frame (a single screen) consists of two fields.

- Field still

Only one field (half of the video information) is displayed on the TV screen, so the apparent resolution is low. However, there is no blurring on the screen.

- Frame

Individual images in a video or on the TV are called frames.

- Frame still

The two fields are displayed, alternately, on the TV screen, so the image is blurry. However, the image quality is better than field images.

• I/P/B

The MPEG 2 standard adopted for DVD uses the following 3 picture types for the coding of each picture (frame) on the TV screen.

I:I-Picture (Intra coded picture)

This is the standard picture type, and each picture is coded separately.

P:P-Picture (Predictive coded picture)

This picture type is computed on the basis of a past I-Picture or P-Picture.

B:B-Picture (Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture)

This picture type is computed by comparing the previous and subsequent I-Picture or P-Picture. It has the lowest volume of information.

General Picture type

How images appear on your TV (aspect ratios of the screen)

The Images on the TV screen depend on the type of software and the TV set.

Type of software	TV set (Screen mode)
	4:3 16:9	(“FULL” mode)	16:9 (“ZOOM” mode)	16:9 (“AUTO” mode)
Wide-screen (pan and scan format)	Right and left edges are cut off.	Full screen Top and bottom	edges are cut off.	Full screen
Wide-screen (pan and scan format)	Letterbox (with black bands at top and bottom)
Software (4:3)	Full screen Screen horizontally enlarged		Top and bottom edges are cut off.	Full screen (with black bands at right and left)
Software (4:3, Letterbox)	Letterbox (with black bands at top and bottom)	Screen horizontally enlarged (with black bands at top and bottom)	Full screen	Screen in which the picture at the far left and far right ends only is extended horizontally (with black bands at top and bottom)

- The images which appear on the TV screen, and what each screen mode is called, depend on the manufacturer of the TV set and type of TV set. Consult the instruction manual provided with your TV set.

For your reference:

- Letterbox

Black bands are inserted at the top and bottom of the screen to fill in the gaps where the size of the picture is smaller than the screen.

- Pan and scan

Part of the wide-screen picture (either at both sides or one side of the screen) is automatically eliminated so that the picture fills the whole screen.
