avec l’appareil. Si vous utilisez un chariot, faites attention lors du déplacement du chariot avec  
l’appareil qu’il ne tombe et ne vous blesse pas.  
Un arrêt brusque, une force excessive et une surface inégale peuvent causer le renversement de  
l’ensemble.  
13) Débranchez l’appareil pendant un orage ou lorsqu’il ne doit pas être utilisé pendant une période prolongée.  
Cela évitera qu’il soit endommagé pendant un orage ou par une surtension.  
14) Pour toute réparation, consultez une personne qualifiée. L’appareil doit être réparé s’il a été endommagé de n’importe  
quelle façon, comme quand, par exemple, le cordon ou la fiche d’alimentation est endommagé, un liquide ou un objet  
a pénétré à l’intérieur de l’appareil, l’appareil a été exposé à la pluie ou l’humidité, ne fonctionne pas normalement ou  
est tombé.

Notes:  
This TV is equipped with various screen modes. If a screen mode with  
a different aspect from the broadcast program is selected, image will  
appear differently. Select the proper screen mode with this in mind.  
Be careful when using this TV for commercial purposes or for public  
use, such as in cafes and hotels. Shrinking and enlarging images by  
using screen mode switching function (zoom, etc.) may violate copyright  
laws.  
Images displayed on a wide screen TV will be cut off or distorted at the  
edges, when viewing normal aspect images of 4:3 in ZOOM, JUST or  
FULL mode. Display in NORMAL mode to view the original image  
intended by the producer.  
For 1080i and 480p input images, screen position and size cannot be  
adjusted.  
The adjusted setting will be kept even when the TV is turned off.  
The signals output from the monitor output terminal on the back of the  
TV are not affected when the screen size and position are adjusted.

Troubleshooting  
During normal broadcast (VHF/UHF)  
Symptoms  
Checks  
Page  
Power does not turn ON  
Is the power plug plugged in?  
If the power does not turn on using the remote, check if the TV set is  
turned on.  
19  
Remote control does not  
function  
Are the batteries dead or inserted incorrectly?  
Is the remote control sensor in direct light of florescent lamps or other  
strong sources of light?  
9
Image shakes  
Image is not clear  
Color patches or no color  
Is the antenna or antenna cable old, broken or shorted?  
Is the antenna cable connected properly?  
When using a VCR and selecting channels on the TV, is the TV/VIDEO  
mode for the VCR set to TV?  
10, 11, 12  
Image appears doubled or  
tripled.  
Is the antenna facing the right direction?  
Is the antenna receiving any signals reflected off mountains or buildings.  
Spots appear in images,  
images shake, or color patches  
appear in the four corners.  
Is the TV being affected by geomagnetism or other interference  
(automobiles and trains, high voltage power lines, neon, motors,  
magnetic steel frames, steel windows, etc.)? Turn off the power for  
approx. 20 min. and turn back on or change positioning of the TV set. If  
this does not fix the problem, the TV needs magnetic shielding.  
When the TV set is turned on  
in a dark room, the outer edges  
o f t h e s c r e e n s p a r k  
momentarily.  
Due to the internal structure of the CRT set, some parts of the fluorescent  
components spark, (created by high voltage) when the TV set is turned  
on. This is not a malfunction.  
Unclear or overly bright colors  
on parts of the screen  
When white is displayed on a certain part of the screen for a while, the  
white portion tends to tint with color. When the bright image disappears,  
the screen will return to its normal color.  
Left and right ends of the  
screen, columns and frames  
appear curved.  
Receiving broadcast or changes in brightness on the screen can cause  
curves on the screen.  
A black stripe appears for a  
moment when changing  
channels using the VCR.  
The image distorts when channels are changed.  
During Panasonic AUTO  
mode, the screen size  
sometimes changes.  
Depending on the program content, even when the screen is supposed  
to automatically zoom, if the beginning scene is dark, it may take a  
while for it to zoom.  
24, 25  
During a 4:3 screen, if the top and bottom of the image is dark, it may  
zoom.  
Images disappear at the top  
and bottom of the screen  
When using 16:9 image software, there is no picture at the top and  
bottom of the screen (cinema vision size software, etc.).  
During ZOOM or JUST modes,  
the image is cut off at the top  
and bottom.  
Has the screen position been changed?  
If so, adjust screen positioning.  
34  
A clicking and buzzing sound  
is made when the TV is turned  
on.  
This is the sound of the Geomagnetic correction function creating a  
beautiful color picture. This is not a malfunction.

This could be a geomagnetic
