Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Dear Panasonic Customer, Welcome to the Panasonic family. We hope that you will have many years of enjoyment from your new Colour Television. Thank you for choosing to buy this Panasonic Colour Television. It was assembled at our Panasonic Television factory in Penrith, Australia under an internationally accredited quality and environmental system. You can therefore be assured that you have purchased a quality product incorporating features to reduce environmental impacts. As part of our commitment to conserving natural resources we provide the following information about the reuse, recycling and disposal of your packaging. Cardboard Cardboard comprises up to 75% of the packaging in your Panasonic TV and all of our cartons are manufactured with optimum levels of recycled fibre. 1. Reuse Cartons can be readily folded and packed flat for storage and made up when required for later use. 2. Recycling If you, or someone else has no further use for the carton, it can be flattened or cut up and placed into the recycle bin or service provided by your local council (applicable for most parts of Australia). By recycling the cardboard you are benefiting the environment by reducing waste to landfill and reducing the dependence on virgin forest timbers for paper fibre. Plastics Panasonic is reducing the number of different plastics used in both the Television and its packaging. Unfortunately you are unable to include the type of plastic used in Television packaging in the curbside- recycling program. Polystyrene foam and other plastic will need to be placed in your general waste bin. About Panasonic Panasonic Australia and Panasonic AVC Networks Australia Pty Ltd are signatories to the National Packaging Covenant. The Covenant is an agreement between Governments and member companies aimed at reducing the amount of waste going to landfill through Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. Panasonic and Panasonic AVC Networks Australia Pty Ltd contribute to the industry transitional funding arrangements to support curbside recycling in Australia.

the television has been tilt tested and meets current Australian and International Standards, we recommend that great care be taken when positioning the television. * Do not allow the front of the set to overhang the stand or cabinet. * Make sure that the stand or cabinet is flat and does not lean forward. * Do not allow anyone to climb or sit on the television. * Do not place any heavy weights on the television. Picture Quality All televisions are affected by Magnetic Interference. Magnetic interference may come from such things as unshielded motors, moving the TV while it is switched ON, turning off a vacuum cleaner too close to the TV, lightning strikes nearby or many other things. The interference shows up as coloured patches that appear while the TV is switched ON. A typical result may look like the picture shown. ∗ Your Panasonic Television is designed to overcome this with the inclusion of a demagnetising (degaussing) function. ∗ To activate this feature, simply switch your Television OFF with the Power On/Off Switch (not with the remote control) for 30 minutes and then switch it back ON. ∗ If the television is to be left unattended for extended periods (several days or more), turn the power off to the unit. DO NOT leave in Standby mode. ∗ This will ensure that you enjoy the picture clarity as it was meant to be. Refer to page 24 for operating instructions for the GEOMAGNETIC feature. Customer’s Record The serial number of this product can be found on its rear cover and on the carton. It is recommended that you note the serial number and other details in the space provided and retain this booklet in a safe place as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the event of theft or loss.

Surround Sound Operation 16 The benefits of surround sound are enormous. You can be completely enveloped in sound; just as if you were at a concert hall or cinema. The surround effect operates without external surround speakers Surround Sound is available if you are tuned to a television station or are using the AV inputs. The Surround Sound can be switched between OFF, VIRTUAL and SPACIAL. OFF Switching the Surround Sound to OFF gives you normal television sound. VIRTUAL A Virtual Surround System attempts to create the same surround effect produced by a multi-channel system using only the left and right speakers. The general conceptual model of a Virtual Dolby Surround System divides the center signal equally between the left and right speakers to achieve a Phantom Center Image. It also processes the Virtual surround signal before sending it to the left and right speakers, creating a virtual image around the listener. The virtual effect is stronger with Dolby Surround encoded movies. Dolby, and the symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. SPATIAL Spatial Surround modes allow various types of surround effects to be produced by mimicking both the direct sound, as heard by the audience, and the sound reflected back from the surroundings.

37 Some minor problems can be corrected very quickly and easily without the cost of a service call. Panasonic has a Customer Care Centre that can answer most questions over the phone. Before you contact the Customer Care Centre with your question we have included the most commonly asked questions. Question: My channel number is still on the screen. How do I turn it off? Answer: If the channel number is a small green number on the top left of the screen, press the Recall button on the remote control. Any other channel number is one being broadcast by the television station. There is no way to turn this off. Question: How do I tune my stations? Answer: The instructions for tuning the stations are on page 22 for automatic tuning and on page 23 for tuning individual stations. Question: Why doesn’t the channel change when I press the channel button? Answer: The television might be switched to Teletext mode. If it has been switched to text mode for closed captions and they are not being transmitted there may not be any indication on the screen to let you know that you are in Text mode. See page 29. Question: I turned my television to Standby with the remote control and then I turned it off with the power switch. I turned the TV back on with the power switch but it’s still in Standby and I can’t find my remote control. How can I turn the TV back on? Answer: Press the front panel Up ( /\ ) or Down ( \/ ) button. See page 7. Question: I have done an auto tune because the book told me to. If I am only to do manual search why is automatic search first in the book? Answer: The automatic search and the manual search each have specific uses. The reason for each is clearly described in the book. The reason that automatic search is described first is because this is the first option on the screen. Question: Why does the screen turn blue? Answer: The television has been designed so that the screen turns blue when the signal strength is very weak or nonexistent. The reasons may be: 1. The television station may have stopped transmitting. 2. You may have selected a programme number that has not yet been tuned. 3. You may have been watching a videotape or DVD and it has stopped playing. 4. Your aerial connection may have come loose. Question: When I skip a station why is a picture still coming up when I press the number that the channel is on? Answer: The Skip operation only works when you use the Channel Up ( /\ ) or Down ( \/ ) buttons. Question: When I use the channel up or channel down why don’t I get all the channels? Answer: Some of the channels may be “Skipped”. See page 27. If the answer to your problem is not in this list, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as shown on the next page. The location of the nearest service centre can be obtained from the Panasonic Customer Care Centre on 132600.
