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.

Programming The Remote
The Universal Remote Control can be programmed to operate many manufacturers’ components, using the component
function buttons for VCR, DVD, 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
Procedure
• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and operating.
• Turn the component off.
• Press and together, for at least 5 seconds.
• Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control VCR, DVD, 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 to move forward to the next code. Press 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.
Default Modes For Remote Control
Device Operates Default
TV TV (Panasonic Only) Panasonic TV Codes
VCR VCR (Preset) Panasonic VCR Codes
DBS DBS (Preset) Panasonic DBS Codes
CABLE CABLE (Preset) Panasonic DBS Codes
DVD DVD (Preset) Panasonic DVD Codes
Helpful Hints: Unsuccessful Code
If the component does not operate with the Remote Control, repeat
the procedure using another code. (Some brands have multiple
codes).
If an incorrect code is entered, or if the procedure takes longer than
30 seconds, the programming will fail.

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
