DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If
the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your
home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then
obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or
adaptor or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and
dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
If a new mains plug has to be fitted, then follow the
instruction given below:
Important

marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or
coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wires in the mains lead on this product are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured
marking identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured
black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When replacing the fuse, use only a correctly rated
approved type and always re-fit the fuse cover.
If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.
How to replace the fuse
Open the fuse compartment with a
blade screwdriver, and replace the
fuse.

Burn-in
A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) is that displaying the same image for a long time causes a part of the image to stay
on the screen (this is called phosphor burn-in).
Avoid burn-in as follows.
Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.
• Reduce CONTRAST and BRIGHT on the PICTURE SETTING menu (page 25) when viewing.
Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 19).
Screen size is normally chosen to ensure that the picture is displayed on the entire screen. After viewing in the REGULAR mode in
which black bands may occur at the left and right of the screen, it is recommended to change to the PANORAMIC mode to display
the picture on the entire screen.
Do not view for long periods of time using the PIP function (page 20) or MULTI-PICTURE function (page 21).
If Burn-in has occurred
If burn-in occurs, try the SNOW NOISE function (page 34). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.
Note:Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

ENGLISH
PD-42/35D30ES / LCT1375-001A-U / English (EK)
Preparing the subwoofer
Either stand the subwoofer vertically or lay it down on its side, peel the
paper from the supplied rubber feet, and stick the feet in the four corners on
the surface to be used as the base. The rubber feet prevent slipping and
resonance, and also protect the speaker cord.
• The subwoofer is not designed to withstand electromagnetic fields. Also, it vibrates and should therefore not be installed near
equipment such as VCR, or equipment where it will be subject to vibration or electromagnetic fields.
Installation
Cautions for installation
• Do not tilt the TV towards the left or right, or towards the back.
• Install the TV in a corner on a wall or on the floor so as to keep cords out of the way.
• Grip the TV (not the front speakers) when moving or installing it after mounting the front speakers to the TV.
• The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient space is available around the TV to allow
satisfactory cooling.
Putting the batteries into the remote control
Use two AAA/R03 dry cell batteries.
Insert the batteries from the -end, making sure the +and -polarities are correct.
• Follow the warnings printed on the batteries.
• Battery life is about six months to one year, depending on how much you use the remote control.
• The batteries we supply are only for setting up and testing your TV, please replace them as soon as you need to.
• If the remote control does not work properly, replace the batteries.

7 If you do not have a T-V LINK compatible VCR
connected:
Press the bbutton to exit the T-V LINK menu.
The T-V LINK menu disappears.
If you have a T-V LINK compatible VCR
connected to the EXT-2 terminal:
Follow the operating procedure “Downloading data to a
VCR” on page 39 to transmit the programme number
(PR) data.
Now, the initial settings are complete, and you can
watch the TV
•When the COUNTRY setting is UNITED
KINGDOM:
BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 are
automatically set to the programme numbers PR1 to
PR5. If the TV doesn't receive one of these TV channels,
that programme number (PR) will not be set. Programme
number PR6 is not normally set.
•When the COUNTRY setting is not UNITED
KINGDOM:
If your TV can detect the TV channel name from the TV
channel broadcast signal, the TV channel name is
assigned to the programme number (PR) to which the
TV channel has been set. However, which TV channels
are set to which programme numbers (PR) will depend
on the area in which you live.
• If a TV channel you want to view is not set to a
programme number (PR), you can set it using the
MANUAL function. For details, see “EDIT/MANUAL”
on page 36.
• The AUTO PROGRAM function does not set the
programme number PR 0 (AV) for your video cassette
recorder. You will need to set this using the MANUAL
function.
• In some areas you may get TV reception from more than
one transmitter, for example different ITV regions. In
this case each TV channel could be set twice. If this
happens, the first set of channels will have the stronger
signal. If you want to delete the second set of channels,
you will have to do it manually (see page 38).
T-V LINK functions
When you have a T-V LINK compatible VCR connected to
the EXT-2 Terminal on the TV, it is easier to set up the
VCR and to view videos. T-V LINK uses the following
features:
To use T-V LINK functions:
A “T-V LINK compatible VCR” means a JVC video
cassette recorder with the T-V LINK logo, or with one of
the following logos. However, these VCRs may support
some or all of the features described earlier. For details, see
your VCR instruction manual.
“Q-LINK” (a trademark of Panasonic Corporation)
“Data Logic” (a trademark of Metz Corporation)
“Easy Link” (a trademark of Phillips Corporation)
“Megalogic” (a trademark of Grundig Corporation)
“SMARTLINK” (a trademark of Sony Corporation).
Pre-set download
The VCR will automatically download the registered data
on the TV channels from the TV. This means you do not
need to set up the program channels on your VCR
manually.
The preset download function automatically begins when
the initial setting is complete or whenever you carry out the
AUTO PROGRAM or EDIT/MANUAL functions.
You can also carry out this function using your VCR
controls.
When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed:
If “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed, the
download was not performed correctly. Before trying to
download again, check that:
• the VCR power is turned on
• the VCR is T-V LINK compatible
• the VCR is connected to the EXT-2 terminal
• the SCART cable is fully wired.
Direct Rec
“What You See Is What You Record”
You can easily record to VCR the images that you are
watching on the TV.
For details, read the manual for your VCR.
Use your VCR controls. “VCR IS RECORDING” is
displayed.
In the following situations, the VCR will stop
recording if the TV is turned off, if the TV channel
or input is changed, or if the menu is displayed on
the TV:
• when recording images from an external device
connected to the TV (for example a camcorder)
• when recording a TV channel after it has been
unscrambled on a decoder
• when recording a TV channel by using the TV’s output
because the VCR’s own tuner cannot properly receive
that channel.
When the VCR is not ready (for example when there is no
tape inserted), “NO RECORDING” is displayed.
You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your TV’s control.
Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV channel that it
cannot receive properly on its own tuner, even if you can
view that TV channel on the TV. However, some VCRs can
record a TV channel by using the TV’s output if that
channel can be viewed on the TV. For details, see your
VCR instruction manual.
TV auto power on/VCR image view
When the VCR starts playing, the TV automatically turns
on and the images from the EXT-2 terminal appear on the
screen.
When the VCR menu is operated, the TV automatically
turns on and the images from the EXT-2 terminal appear on
the screen.
• Check that the AC plugs on the power cords from the TV
and receiver are connected to AC outlets.
