the television has been tilt tested and meets current Australian and International Standards, we recommend
that great care be taken when positioning the television.
* Do not allow the front of the set to overhang the stand or cabinet.
* Make sure that the stand or cabinet is flat and does not lean forward.

Picture Quality
All televisions are affected by Magnetic Interference.
Magnetic interference may come from such things as unshielded motors,
moving the TV while it is switched ON, turning off a vacuum cleaner too
close to the TV, lightning strikes nearby or many other things.
The interference shows up as coloured patches which appear while the TV
is switched ON.
A typical result may look like the picture shown.
∗ Your Panasonic Television is designed to overcome this with the inclusion of a demagnetising
(degaussing) function.
∗ To activate this feature, simply switch your Television OFF, or into Standby for 30 minutes and then
switch it back ON.
∗ If the television is to be left unattended for extended periods (several days or more), turn the power off to
the unit. DO NOT leave in Standby mode.
∗ This will ensure that you enjoy the picture clarity as it was meant to be.
∗ Refer to page 17 for operating instructions for the GEOMAGNETIC feature.
