Warnings and Precautions

• This TV set is designed to operate on AC 220-240 V, 50 Hz.
• To prevent damage which might result in elec tric shock or fi re, do not expose this TV set to rain or excessive moisture. This TV must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and objects fi lled with liq uid, such as vases, must not be placed on top of or above the TV.
• Keep unneeded small parts and other objects out of the reach of small children. These objects can be accidentally swallowed. Also, be careful about packaging materials and plastic sheets.
• Use only the accessories appropriate to handling with fragile products.
• To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with installation instructions (mounting bracket is not supplied).
• WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE!!!

Do not remove the rear cover as live parts are accessible when it is removed. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

• TV Games / Home Computers

Extended use of TV games or home computers with any television set can cause a 'shadow' on the screen. This type of LCD panel phenomenon, 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.
• 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 LCD TV screen.

• Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

• This type of LCD panel damage, is not an operating defect, and as such is not covered by the Panasonic warranty.

• The On / Off switch on this model does not fully disconnect the TV from the mains supply. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket before connecting or disconnecting any leads, or if the TV set is not used for a prolonged period 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 the TV is in AV mode.

• Cabinet and LCD panel care

Remove the mains plug from the wall socket. The cabinet and LCD panel can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent and water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or petroleum.

• When ambient temperature is cool, the picture may take a short time to reach normal brightness, but this is not a malfunction. (After brief moment, the picture will have normal brightness.)
• Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of electrical components, we recommend that a gap of at least 10cm is left all around this television receiver even when it is placed inside a cabinet or between shelves.
• Avoid exposing the TV set to direct sunlight and other sources of heat. To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flame on top or near the TV set.
• Ventilation should not be impled by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table cloths and curtains.

• Do not mix different battery types, i.e. Alkaline and Manganese or use rechargeable (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH) batteries.

Installation

Please use the apparatus only with the stands supplied or with appropriate wall mount kits.

Receiver Location

Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the screen.

Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.

Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture.

Optional External Equipment

The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance, Antenna cables should utilize 75 Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply store.

Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components require. Also determine the length of cable you'll need.

For optimum quality picture

When the LCD is exposed to light from outdoors or lighting fixtures, high-contrast pictures may not be displayed clearly.

Turn off fl uorescent lamps near the LCD and place in location not exposed to outdoor light.

How to use the LCD stand

The LCD panel can be adjusted the following direction:

20° Right

20^ Left

Maintenance

To clean this set, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in soap-and-water solution or a weak detergent solution.

• Use eyeglass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the LCD.
• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this set.
• Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully.
• Do not wipe the LCD with water.

For connection to the appropriate Scart terminal on the recording device, refer to the device's instruction book.

When using a "NEXTVIEWLINK" device the main features possible are the following:

Preset Download

This allows the programme order from the TV to be downloaded to the recording device, helping to ensure that correct recordings are made; there are several ways to perform this operation:

1. During installation as explained in the "Quick Start Guide" on page 5, 6.
2. When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu. See page 12.
3. Preset download started from the recording device, refer to the device's instruction book.

What You See Is What You Record (DIRECT TV RECORDING)

This will allow the immediate recording of the programme currently shown on the TV, by the recording device attached to the Scart terminal, which can be chosen using "Q-Link". See page 11.

Press the DIRECT TV REC button.

If the recording device is in Standby mode with usable recording media inserted, it will automatically switch on when you press the DIRECT TV REC button.

If a "Q-Link" device is connected, a message will appear on the TV screen showing what is being recorded, or if it is not possible to record. Some "Q-Link" compatible devices will only display the message when on the VCR programme position "0" or in AV mode. Refer to the device's instruction book.

Panasonic TV

Recording in progress No recording - Check tape or Disc

The recording device is recording the programme signal from its own tuner. If you wish you can switch off the TV and leave the device recording in the normal way.

The tape or disc may have been “write protected”, missing or may be damaged. The device may already be recording. Refer to the device’s instruction book.

Additionally, when using a "Q-Link" device the main features possible are the following:

The following features are only available from the device connected to the Scart terminal selected using "Q-Link". See page 11.

TV / Recording device Auto Power On

If you insert pre-recorded media into the recording device and press the Play button whilst the TV is in Standby mode, the TV will automatically switch on and select the correct AV input so that you can view the content.

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.

To share tuning information

To ensure correct recordings are made, the television and VCR (DVD/R) should share tuning information - see page 14.

- Whenever the Auto setup (ATP) function is used, tuning data will be downloaded to the VCR (DVD/R).

To turn off Q-Link communication

If you do not wish to use the Q-Link feature, go to the Setup menu and set the Q-Link option to "Off". See page 11.

Auto aspect

Auto aspect determines the best aspect ra tio 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 Auto aspect detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate widescreen mode. If Auto aspect 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 Auto aspect de terminated which ratio to use:

Auto aspect switches to the appropriate widescreen ratio.

"Auto aspect" appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and below the picture are detected.

Auto aspect 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 Auto aspect 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.
• Automatic aspect ratio adjustment by WSS signal is not available for progressive and high definition component signals input.
