Warnings and Precautions
• Cabinet and LCD panel care
Remove the mains plug
from the wall socket. The
cabinet and LCD panel
can be cleaned with a soft
cloth moistened with mild
detergent and water.
Do not use solutions
containing benzol or petroleum.
•When ambient temperature is cool, the picture may
take a short time to reach normal brightness, but this
is not a malfunction. (After brief moment, the picture
will have normal brightness.)
•Adequate ventilation is
essential to prevent failure
of electrical components,
we recommend that a gap
of at least 10cm is left all
around this TV set even
when it is placed inside a
cabinet or between shelves.
•Avoid exposing the TV set
to direct sunlight and other
sources of heat. To
prevent fire, never place
any type of candle or
naked flame on top or
near the TV set.
•DO NOT insert foreign
objects (metal or easily
flammable objects).
• DO NOT place in an
unstable location.
• Place in a safe location.
• DO NOT jolt the unit.
Preparation
• Receiver Location
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where
sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will
fall on the screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce
remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal
component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive
heat or moisture.
To insure optimum picture do not position magnetic
equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.
• Optional External Equipment
The Audio / Video connection between components
can be made with shielded video and audio cables.
For best performance, we recommend 75 Ω coaxial
aerial cable is used. Cables are available from your
dealer or electronic supply store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know
what type of output and input connectors your various
components require. Also determine the length of cable
you will need.
• For optimum quality picture
When the LCD is exposed to light from outdoors or
lighting fixtures, high-contrast pictures may not be
displayed clearly. Turn off florescent lamps near the
LCD and place in a location not exposed to outdoor
light.
• DO NOT stand, or place
heavy objects on the unit.
Particular care should be
taken by families with
small children.
Pixel Statement (LCD)
An image on an LCD panel is created by many dots known as pixels. The more pixels on the panel, the more
detailed image can be displayed. To create a colour image each pixel is made up of three tiny coloured dots (1 each
of 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 construction
of these panels, there are a number of allowable Pixel/Dot failures that would still allow the panel to be defined as
a good panel. It is not possible to guarantee absolutely no pixel loss.
