2WelcomeDear Panasonic Customer,We hope that you have many years of enjoyment from your new TV. The Quick Start Guide section at the beginningof this instruction book will allow you to use the TV as quickly as possible. We recommend that you then read thecomplete instruction book, and keep it to refer to as you explore the range of advanced features that this LCD TVoffers.ContentsAnalogue 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, allowingclearer pictures, more stations and other services to be displayed on screen. Digital television is provided in threedifferent ways; it can be sent along a cable connection direct to your house, broadcast from a satellite, or broadcastusing 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 traditionalanalogue transmissions in the usual way, this television can also receive terrestrial digital services using an integrated(Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder. This allows you to enjoy the new era of digital terrestrial television, includinginteractive services, without the need for a “set top box” or satellite dish – an adequate roof or loft mounted antennais all you need.Warnings and Precautions ........................................ 3Accessories ............................................................... 4Fitting remote control batteries ................................. 4Cable cover removal and fitting ................................ 5How to open the front cover ...................................... 5How to use the LCD stand ........................................ 5Quick Start Guide ...................................................... 6Basic controls: front panel and remote control .......... 9Using the On Screen Displays ................................ 10Picture menu ............................................................ 11Sound menu ............................................................ 12Setup menu ............................................................. 13Tuning menu – overview ......................................... 14Tuning menu – Programme edit .............................. 15Adding / deleting a programme channel .............. 15Moving a programme channel ............................. 15Renaming a programme channel ........................ 16Locking a programme channel ............................ 16Copying programme information toa recording device .................................... 16Tuning menu – Auto setup ...................................... 17Tuning menu – Manual tuning ................................. 18Manual tuning (via front panel) .............................. 18Owner ID ................................................................. 19Shipping condition ................................................... 20DVB Setup Menu – overview .................................. 21Timer programming menu ....................................... 22Profile Edit menu ..................................................... 24Child Lock menu ..................................................... 25DVB Tuning Menu ................................................... 26DVB System Setup ................................................. 27Common Interface Module menu ............................ 28System Update menu ............................................. 29TV Guide - Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) .... 30Information banner .................................................. 31Subtitles ON / OFF .................................................. 31Q-Link ...................................................................... 32Aspect Controls ....................................................... 33Still .......................................................................... 34VCR / DVD operation .............................................. 35Teletext operation .................................................... 36Audio / video connections ....................................... 39How to connect the Headphones / AV3 terminals 39How to connect the Audio Output terminals ........ 40How to connect the AV1 / 2 / 4 Scart terminals .... 40How to connect the Component Input terminals .. 40Troubleshooting ...................................................... 41Maintenance ........................................................... 42Scart and S-video terminal information ................... 42Component signal that can be displayed ................ 42Specifications .......................................................... 43DVB is a trademark of the DVB Digital Video Broadcasting Project (1991 to 1996).
