IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE USE OF VIDEO GAMES, COMPUTERS, OR
OTHER FIXED IMAGE DISPLAYS.
WARNING: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from viewing fixed
image is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty.
This television is designed to display constantly moving images on the screen. Continuous viewing
of stationary images such as letterbox pictures on standard screen TVs (with top/bottom bars), non-
expanded standard (4:3) pictures on wide screen TVs (with side bars shown on each side of an
image), stock market report bars (ticker running at the bottom of the screen), video game patterns,
fixed scoreboards, bright station logos, on-line (internet) or repetitive computer style patterns should
be limited.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent picture tube damage,
shown as a “shadow image” viewable on normal programs. This type of irreversible picture tube
deterioration can be limited by performing the following steps:
• Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
• Turn the power off when not in use.

Digital TV - Set-Top Box (DTV-STB) or DVD Connection
This television is capable of displaying 1080i and 480p DTV signals when connected to a DTV Tuner set-top-box (STB). In
order to view DTV programming, the STB must be connected to the component video inputs (Y, PB, PR) of the television. A
DTV signal must be available in your area. Select the output of the STB to either 1080i or 480p.
This television also utilizes a progressive scan doubler, which de-interlaces the NTSC signal and progressively scans the
image. This allows you to sit close to the TV and not see the thin black horizontal lines (venetian blind effect) associated
with interlaced TV pictures.
Use this diagram to connect the Panasonic DTV-STB (Digital TV-Set-Top Box) or DVD Player to the back of your TV.
Note: There are 2 sets of three video inputs, Y, P
B

. Separate component color inputs provide luminance and color
separation. Use the L (left) and R (right) audio inputs.

Programming The Remote
The Universal Remote Control can be programmed to operate many manufacturers’ components, using the component
function buttons for VCR, DVD, AUX, RCVR, TV, DTV CABLE or DBS. Follow the procedures for programming your
Remote Control with or without a code for the component.
Determine the manufacturer of the component and look in the table for the code.
Programming With A Code

• Confirm that the external component is plugged and operating.
• Turn the component off.
• Press and together, for at least 5 seconds.
• Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control VCR, DVD (CD), AUX (VCR2 or TAPE), RCVR, DTV,
CABLE or DBS.
• Enter the 3-digit component code using the Remote Control numeric keypad (0 ~ 9 buttons).
•Press the Remote Control to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will
turn on.
Programming Without A Code
This procedure searches all codes and is called the “sequence method.”
• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and on.
• Turn the component off.
• Press and together, for at least 5 seconds.
• Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control.
• Press VOL uto move forward to the next code. Press tVOL to move backward.
• Press the Remote Control to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn
on.
Note: Repeat the above steps until the component code is found. It may take many attempts before the correct code
is found.
• After the code is found, press to store the code.

Component Codes
The Universal Remote Control is capable of operating many component brands after entering a code. Some components
may not operate because the codes are not available due to limited memory. The Universal Remote Control does not
control all features found in each model.
Write the code numbers from tables in this space. This will serve as a reference if you need
to program your Remote Control.
