4Warnings and Precautions• Adequate ventilation isessential to prevent failureof electrical components,we recommend that a gapof at least 10cm is left allaround this TV set evenwhen it is placed inside acabinet or between shelves.• Avoid exposing the TV setto direct sunlight and others o u r c e s o f h e a t . Toprevent fire, never placeany type of candle ornaked flame on top ornear the TV set.• DO NOT insert foreignobjects (metal or easilyflammable objects).• DO NOT stand, or placeheavy objects on the unit.Particular care should betaken by families withsmall children.• DO NOT place in anunstable location.• Place in a safe location.• DO NOT jolt the unit.Preparation• Receiver LocationLocate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing wheresunlight or other bright light (including reflections) willfall on the screen.Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduceremote control transmitter range.Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internalcomponent failure. Keep away from areas of excessiveheat or moisture.To insure optimum picture do not position magneticequipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.• Optional External EquipmentThe Audio / Video connection between componentscan be made with shielded video and audio cables.For best performance, we recommend 75 Ω coaxialaerial cable is used. Cables are available from yourdealer or electronic supply store.Before you purchase any cables, be sure you knowwhat type of output and input connectors your variouscomponents require. Also determine the length of cableyou will need.• For optimum quality pictureWhen the LCD is exposed to light from outdoors orlighting fixtures, high-contrast pictures may not bedisplayed clearly. Turn off florescent lamps near theLCD and place in a location not exposed to outdoorlight.Pixel Statement (LCD)An image on an LCD panel is created by many dots known as pixels. The more pixels on the panel, the moredetailed image can be displayed. To create a colour image each pixel is made up of three tiny coloured dots (1 eachof red, green and blue). This gives a total far in excess of one million individual dots manufactured into the panel.Each one of these dots is precisely controlled by the electronics of the TV to produce the picture.Whilst Panasonic maintains the highest standards in manufacturing technology and processes in the constructionof these panels, there are a number of allowable Pixel/Dot failures that would still allow the panel to be defined asa good panel. It is not possible to guarantee absolutely no pixel loss.
