least 10 cm at the top, bottom, left and right, and at least 1.9 cm at the rear of the Plasma TV.
Electromagnetic interference may occur if electronic equipments are placed near each other.
It will cause interference in image, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.
Keep unneeded small parts and other objects out of the reach of small children. These objects can be
accidentally swallowed. Also, be careful about packaging materials and plastic sheets.
When using the Plasma TV
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can cause re or damage to the Plasma TV.
Do not insert any foreign objects into the Plasma TV.
• Do not insert any metal or ammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma TV, as doing
so can cause re or electric shock.

Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the plug
body, not the cable.
Do not damage the cable, make any modi cations to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any
hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause re and electric shock. If the power cable is
damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.

5
Safety Precautions
If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odour starts to come out
from the Plasma TV, immediately unplug the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
If you continue to use the Plasma TV in this condition, re or electric shock could result. After checking that the
smoke has stopped, contact your local Panasonic dealer so that the necessary repairs can be made. Repairing
the Plasma TV yourself is extremely dangerous, and should never be attempted.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes
damages, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
• A short circuit may occur, which could cause re. Contact your local Panasonic dealer for any repairs that need to
be made.
CAUTION
When using the Plasma TV
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma TV.
Heated air comes out from the ventilation holes at the top of Plasma TV will be hot. Do not bring your hands or
face, or objects which cannot withstand heat, close to this port, otherwise burns or deformation could result.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV.
If the Plasma TV is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged, and
re or electric shock could result.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall socket as a safety precaution before carrying out any
cleaning.
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it becoming dusty.
If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in
re.
Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays, therefore it may affect other infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or re ected light from your Plasma TV.
Maintenance
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water to
which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same
type until the surface is dry.
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with ngernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may
become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner,
otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been
added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma TV.
If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the
cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods
in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.

Programme edit Access in order to customize your programme set tings
(e.g., adding or deleting a programme position). See page
16, 17.
Auto setup Allows you to automatically retune the TV. Useful if you
move house and wish to retune your TV to the local stations.
See page 18.
Manual tuning Allows individual programme positions to be tuned manually.
See page 19.
Fine tuning Use to make small adjustments to the tuning of an individual
station (useful for example when weather conditions are
affecting reception quality of a programme).
Colour system Lets you select the correct transmission standard for the
transmission signal being received.
Volume correc. Lets you adjust the volume level of individual stations. Use
this feature if the volume level varies signi cantly between
stations. Adjusting one station’s volume to bring it into line
with the other stations means you can avoid having to adjust
the volume each time you change channels.
Decoder
(AV2 / AV4)
This option is used when a decoder is connected via
AV2 / AV4. Store the setting as On so that every time
this programme position is selected, the TV software is
set to handle the decoded information (this is im por tant if
your decoder unit is connected to AV2 / AV4 via a Q-Link
device).
