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 which
appear while the TV is switched ON.
Panasonic
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, or into Standby 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.

A Virtual Dolby 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 centre signal equally between
the left and right speakers to achieve a Phantom Centre 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.

Setup menu - Geomagnetic Correction
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.
Slight tilting of the picture may be noticeable or coloured patches may sometimes appear at the corners of
the screen (colour purity).
The Geomagnetic Correction feature can be used to eliminate some interference problems.
Quite often simply switching your Television OFF with the Power On/Off Switch (not with the remote control)
for 30 minutes and then switching it back ON will cure the problem.
Geomagnetic corrections can be made from the remote control or from the TV set.

Helpful Hint
1.
If geomagnetic changes cause colour patches on the screen switch your Television OFF with the
Power On/Off Switch (not with the remote control) for 30 minutes and then switch it back ON.
Adjustment for geomagnetic should be performed every time the location of the TV is changed.
In some cases colour patches will not be completely eliminated even after adjustment, particularly in
ferroconcrete buildings and other structures susceptible to geomagnetic effects. In these cases the TV
location will have to be changed.

This option gives you a “best fit” option when showing 4:3 on wide screen. The

Notes:
-
If, in Auto mode, you experience problems with the screen display size when playing back widescreen
format recordings from your VCR then it is possible that the tracking control of your VCR requires
adjustment (your VCR instruction book will contain adjustment details).
-
The widescreen aspect ratios of different films and programmes can vary. If these are wider than a
standard 16:9 aspect picture then a black band may be visible at the top and bottom of the screen.
TELETEXT Operation
Teletext is only available on certain broadcast channels. The time taken to display the pages and sub-pages is
set by the teletext transmitter and not by the television.
Teletext is also used for Closed Captioning of television programmes. Captions are used by people who are
deaf, hearing impaired, learning English or viewing in a noisy environment.
Captions differ from foreign language subtitles in that they are coloured and positioned to indicate who is speaking,
and provide information on music and sound effects which may be crucial to the understanding of the program.
Closed captions can be found on Teletext Page 801.
TOP (Table Of Pages) mode
In TOPTEXT mode, the red button moves to the previous page number and the green button moves to the
next page number. The yellow and blue buttons correspond to different subjects. These subjects can be
accessed by Pushing the coloured button. This is the current preferred method of operation in Australia.
FASTEXT or FLOF (Full Level One Features) mode
In FASTEXT mode, four differently coloured subjects are displayed at the bottom of the screen. To access
more information about one of these subjects, push the corresponding colour coded button on the remote
control. This is the current preferred method of operation in New Zealand.
List mode
In List mode, four different coloured page numbers are shown at the bottom of the screen. Each of these
numbers can be altered and stored in the TV’s memory. These coloured page numbers correspond to the
colour coded buttons on the remote control.
Please refer to page 19 for instructions on how to change modes between TOP or FASTEXT and List.

Customer Information
Frequently Asked Questions
Some minor problems can be corrected very quickly and easily without the cost of a service call. Panasonic has a
Customer Care Centre which 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:
Why are my channels on 1,2,3,4,5?
Answer:
Someone has performed an Auto tuning of your television. You will have to retune each channel
individually using the Manual tuning Instructions on page 30.
Question:
How do I get Channel 10?
Answer:
You have three methods of selecting Channel 10
1.
You can use the two digit channel selector on the remote control (- / - -). Press this button
followed by the number 1 button, then the 0 button.
2.
3.
You can press the 9 button followed by the channel up button ( /\ ).
You can tune channel 10 into another position such as programme location 0.
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 29 for automatic tuning and on page 30 for tuning
individual stations.
Question:
I have done an “auto tuning” because the book told me to. If I am only to do manual tuning, why is
automatic search first in the book?
Answer:
The automatic tuning and the manual tuning each have specific uses. The reason for each is clearly
described in the book. The reason that automatic tuning is described first is because this is the first
option on the screen.
Question:
Answer:
I have started the auto tuning by accident. How do I stop it?
Pushing the remote control TV/AV button at any time will stop the Auto tuning and return you to
normal viewing.
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
non existent. The reasons may be:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The television station may have stopped transmitting.
You may have selected a programme number which has not yet been tuned.
You may have been watching a videotape or DVD and it has stopped playing.
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 32.
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 pages 25, 26 and 27.
