Dear Panasonic Customer,
Welcome to the Panasonic family of customers.
We hope that you have many years of enjoyment from your new digital LCD television. This is a very
advanced television; however, the Quick Start Guide will allow you to use the TV as quickly as
possible. You can then read the instructions completely and retain them for future reference.
Analogue and Digital television --- what are they?
Analogue transmission is the system that has been used for many years for broadcasting television
programmes. With continuous improvements in technology it is now possible to transmit
programmes in a digital format, allowing clearer pictures, more stations and other services to be
displayed on screen. Digital television is provided in three different ways; it can be sent along a cable
connection direct to your house, broadcast from a satellite, or broadcast using traditional land based
(terrestrial) transmitters. The first two options require you to have an extra ‘set top box’ decoder and in
the case of satellite, a receiving dish mounted outdoors. While allowing you to receive traditional
analogue transmissions in the usual way, this television can also receive terrestrial digital services
using an integrated DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder. This allows you to enjoy the new era
of digital terrestrial television, including future interactive services, without the need for a ‘set top box’
or satellite dish --- your current roof or loft mounted antenna is all you need.
DVB is a trademark of the DVB Digital Video Broadcasting Project (1991 to 1996).
