Timer Programming

Timer Programming from Menu

The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to record or remind watching. At the correct time, the TV will switch on and tune to the correct channel even if the TV is in Standby mode.

TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming (p. 19).

● This function is not available in Analogue mode.
- Timer Programming does not work properly if the TV does not acquire the correct time data from the TV signal.
● The TV must be either On or in standby for Ext Rec. of Timer Programming.
- No other channel can be selected while Ext Rec. of Timer Programming is in progress.
- It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).

- When recording programmes, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected to the TV. If a compatible recorder with Q-Link, VIERA Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 56 and p. 57) and the "Link Settings" (p. 28) are completed, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.

- If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link, VIERA Link or similar technologies, set "Q-Link" in the Setup Menu (p. 28) to the connected terminal (AV1 or AV2), and make timer programming of the recorder. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.

● Recording is possible in composite video via SCART only, including HD content.

●2 mins. before the starting time, a reminder message appears if you are watching TV.

• To remove the message and start the programming → OK

• To cancel the programming →

Auto mode

Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen) to determine. This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.

Letterbox detection: If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen.

If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

Note

• The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top and bottom of the screen may appear.
• If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.

SD Card

Use an SD Card which meets SD standards. If not, it may cause the TV to malfunction.

Note

●Signals other than above may not be displayed properly.
● The above signals are reformatted for optimal viewing on your display.
- PC signal is magnified or compressed for display, so that it may not be possible to show fine detail with sufficient clarity.

Before requesting service or assistance, please follow these simple guides to resolve the problem. If the problem still persists, please contact your local Panasonic dealer for assistance.

Block noise, frozen or disappearing image occurs in DVB mode / White spots or shadow image (ghosting) occurs in Analogue mode / Some channels cannot be tuned

Check the position, direction and connection of the aerial.

Check "Signal Condition" (p. 34). If "Signal Quality" is displayed in red, the DVB signal is weak.

Weather conditions will affect signal reception (heavy rain, snow, etc.), in particular in poor reception areas. Even during good weather, the high pressure can cause poor reception of some channels.

Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the digital signals may be relatively low in some cases, despite good reception of analogue channels.

- Turn the TV off with the Mains power On / Off switch, and then on again. If problem persists, consult your local dealer or service provider for the availability of services.

Neither image nor sound is produced

Is the TV in AV mode?

Check the correct AV input mode is selected. Check the mains lead is plugged into the socket outlet.

• Has the TV been turned On?
• Check the Picture Menu (p. 26) and volume.
• Check all required cables and connections are firmly in place.

Auto aspect

● Auto aspect is designed to provide you with the best ratio to fill the screen. (p. 64)
- Press the ASPECT button if you would like to change the aspect ratio manually (p. 16).

S-Video / black and white picture

- Check that the output of the external equipment matches the input of the TV. If the output of the external equipment is set to S-Video, the TV must also be set to S-Video (p. 22).

Front view of a flat-screen television displaying the 'Panasonic' logo (no text or symbols on screen)

No programmes shown on TV Guide

• Check the digital transmitter.
• Adjust the direction of the aerial to another transmitter installed nearby.
• Check the analogue broadcast. If the image quality is poor, check the aerial and consult your local dealer.

Input mode, i.e. EC/AV1 remains on the screen

- Press the i button to clear these. Press again to redisplay.

Q-Link function does not work

- Confirm SCART cable and connection. Also set "AV1 / AV2 out" in the Setup Menu (p. 28).

"VIERA Link" function does not work and an error message appears

• Confirm the connection. (p. 54 and p. 55)
  ●Turn the connected equipment on and then switch the TV on. (p. 57)

Recording does not start immediately

- Check the settings of the recorder. For details, read the manual of the recorder.

There may be red spots, blue spots, green spots and black spots on the screen

- This is a characteristic of liquid crystal panels and is not a problem. The liquid crystal panel is built with very high precision technology giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of red, green, blue or black. Please note this does not affect the performance of your LCD.

Problem Actions
Screen	Chaotic image, noisy	Set “P-NR” in the Picture Menu (to remove noise). (p. 26)Check nearby electrical products(car, motorcycle, fluorescent lamp).
	No image can be displayed	Is “Contrast”, “Brightness” or “Colour” in the Picture Menu set to the minimum? (p. 26)
	Blurry or distorted image(no sound or low volume)	Reset channels. (p. 32 and p. 33)
	Unusual image is displayed	Turn the TV Off with Mains power On / Off switch, then turn it On again.If the problem persists, perform “Shipping Condition” (p. 43).
Sound	No sound is produced	Is “Sound mute” active? (p. 8)Is the volume set to the minimum?
	Sound level is low or sound is distorted	Sound signal reception may be deteriorated.Set “MPX” (p. 27) in the Sound Menu to “Mono”. (Analogue only)
HDMI	Sound is unusual	Set the sound setting of the connected equipment to “2ch L.PCM”.Check the “HDMI1 / 2 Input” setting in the Sound Menu. (p. 27)If digital sound connection has a problem, select analogue sound connection. (p. 67)
	Pictures from external equipment are unusual when the equipment is connected via HDMI	Check the HDMI cable is connected properly. (p. 62 and p. 63)Turn the TV and equipment Off, then turn them On again.Check an input signal from the equipment. (p. 68)Use an equipment compliant with EIA/CEA-861/861B.
Other	The TV does not switch On	Check the mains lead is plugged into the socket outlet.
	The TV goes into Standby mode	Auto power standby function is activated. (p. 5)The TV enters Standby mode about 30 mins. after analogue broadcasting ends.
	The remote control does not work or is intermittent	Are the batteries installed correctly? (p. 6)Has the TV been switched On?The batteries may be running low.
