Please read these instruction before operating your set and retain them for future reference.

Dear Panasonic Customer, We hope that you have many years of enjoyment from your new TV. The Quick Start Guide section at the beginning of this instruction book will allow you to use the TV as quickly as possible. We recommend that you then read the complete instruction book, and keep it to refer to as you explore the range of advanced features that this Plasma TV offers. 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 (Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder. This allows you to enjoy the new era of digital terrestrial television, including integrated interactive services, without the need for a “set top box” or satellite dish – an adequate roof or loft mounted antenna is all you need.

The signal quality function displays an indication of signal quality for each DVB programme position. 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 appear to be made up of large blocks, or to freeze intermittently. If the picture disappears completely, this could mean that signal quality is very poor. If this happens often, you may need to improve your aerial system to provide a better signal.

Common Interface The Common Interface Module menu provides access Module to functions contained on a Common Interface Module inserted into the CI slot, located at the rear of the TV. See page 24. Favourites Setup

Recording device Auto Power Standby When the TV is switched into Standby mode, the recording device will also switch into Standby mode if there is no media inserted, or if there is media inserted and the device is in Rewind or Stop mode. If a VCR is rewinding a tape, it will not switch into Standby mode until rewinding has finished. Recording device Image View On If the TV is in Standby mode and the recording device 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. This TV will also communicate with other recording device’s that bear the following logos : • “DATA LOGIC” (a trademark of Metz Corporation) • “Megalogic” (a trademark of Grundig Corporation) • “Easy Link” (a trademark of Philips Corporation) • “SMARTLINK” (a trademark of Sony Corporation) Important Note: Some recording devices may not support all or some of the above functions. Refer to the instruction book for the device. If Q-Link functions do not work, check the connection and ensure that the scart lead is a fully-wired type.

IDTV WIDE 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 widescreen mode. If Panasonic Auto does not detect a widescreen signal then this advanced TV set enhances the picture for optimum viewing pleasure. The text shown on the screen indicates how Panasonic Auto determined which ratio to use: Panasonic Auto switches to the appropriate 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.

“WIDE” appears in the top left of the screen, Panasonic Auto switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio.

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. • “WIDE” will appear in the top left corner of the screen and picture aspect changes accordingly in any aspect modes, if a widescreen identification signal (WSS) is detected or a control signal is found through a Scart terminal.

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

Teletext operation (DVB mode only) DVB teletext services (Digital text) DVB teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext. When you switch to a DVB teletext service, the images you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster. In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all manufacturers of DVB equipment, some on screen commands may not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

TV/TEXT For example: • For the on screen command ‘select’ or ‘go’, use the OK button. • If you see the symbols, use the appropriate CURSOR keys. • If you see a line of key words displayed in red, green, yellow and blue, use the coloured multifunction buttons to operate the functions. • For numbered options, use the numeric keypad. • The TV/TEXT button should allow you to exit the teletext system. Alternatively, press the Channel up / down buttons to select another channel. As soon as you switch to a DVB channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a DVB channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TV/TEXT button – this will allow the software to download. If you press the TV/TEXT button before download is complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed. While navigating DVB teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know what is happening.

Picture and text (Analogue mode only) Press the TV/TEXT button, followed by the MULTI WINDOW button to move between viewing teletext and the picture and text feature. Picture and text lets you see the current programme and a page of teletext side by side. Whilst using this feature, the remote control affects the teletext page; if you wish to make changes to the programme viewed press the TV/TEXT button to return to watching the programme on its own then make the desired changes.

Plasma TV panel Symptoms Some parts of the screen do not light up.

ABCDEF Check The plasma TV panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a malfunction. 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 Plasma TV. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode. With no signal present, and without any user operation, the Panasonic screensaver will appear automatically after 2 minutes to prevent image retention. During DVB teletext or radio service, the level of the contrast can be set to decrease automatically to prevent image retention. Note: The permanent after-image on the Plasma TV resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.

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 this TV is in AV mode. Notes: • External surfaces of the unit may become hot during operation. But this is completely normal. • See label on the base of this equipment for ratings and other information.

DVB Troubleshooting Some problems will only occur when viewing DVB channels. Due to the different techniques involved in digital reception, DVB signal quality can be poor even if you appear to have a strong signal when viewing analogue programmes. 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 appear to be made up of large blocks, or to freeze intermittently. If the picture disappears completely, this could mean that signal quality is very poor. If this happens often, you may need to improve your aerial system to provide a better signal. This TV contains a complex microprocessor which enables you to view enhanced digital services. Occasionally this device may need to be reset. This can be done by pressing the standby button on your remote control. Checks

Symptoms No DVB channels listed in the TV Guide after Auto Setup. DVB TV Guide Prog. Category All Services 1

Pay TV Check that DVB transmissions are available from the transmitter you are currently using. If not, try directing the aerial at another local transmitter.

4 5 6 7 Sun Mon Tue Wed EPG Date 14/08/03 Time 13 : 09

Check analogue transmissions. If picture quality is poor, you will need to improve or change your aerial system to receive DVB channels. Consult a local installer.

Select EPG Blocky interference. Picture freezes intermittently.

Blocky interference indicates that the signal quality is poor. You should consider improving your aerial system. To check the quality of your signal use the Signal Quality feature (see page 23). Good quality signal – indication is green. Poor quality signal – indication is red.

I have a good aerial system, but still cannot receive DVB stations.

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 implemented using an aerial splitter or separate aerials.
