Welcome
We hope you have many years of enjoyment from your new Panasonic HD Digital Receiver.
The simple, easy to follow instructions will enable you to quickly set up and install the equipment
and begin your enjoyment of the available services.
The availability of Digital services in your area is dependent upon the transmissions received by
your aerial and the configuration of your existing equipment.
Warnings and precautions
-¦ This Digital Receiver is intended for the reception of Digital TV picture and sound signals.
-¦ If the Digital Receiver is exposed to drastic temperature changes, e.g. taking it from a cold
room to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and let it stand for at least two hours.
-¦ Do not expose the Digital Receiver to any moisture. The Digital Receiver is designed for use
indoors and should be protected against moisture (splashes of water etc.).
-¦ Do not expose the Digital Receiver to dripping or splashing water and objects filled with liquid,
such as vases, must not be placed on top of or above the unit.
-¦ Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of electrical components; we recommend
that a gap of at least 5cm is left all around this Digital Receiver even when it is placed inside
a cabinet or between shelves.
-¦ Ensure that the ventilation holes beneath the unit are not blocked.
-¦ Do not place the Receiver in the immediate vicinity of a heat source or in direct sunlight as
this would prevent appropriate cooling.
-¦ To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flame on top of or near the Digital
Receiver.
-¦ Caring for your Digital Receiver.
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket. The cabinet can be cleaned with a dry clean
cloth. Do not use solutions containing benzol or petroleum.
-¦ Make sure that all the electrical connections are properly made. Do not connect any of your
equipment (TV, video recorder, etc.) to the mains supply until you have properly connected
all the other leads. Disconnect your Digital Receiver from the mains supply before you
disconnect any other equipment from its rear panel.
