DVB TROUBLESHOOTING Some problems will only occur when viewing DVB channels. Due to the different techniques involved in digital reception, DVB signal quality can be poor even if you appear to have a strong signal when viewing analogue programmes. The DVB system requires a good quality signal to provide the best picture. When viewing analogue pictures, interference such as signal reflection from nearby buildings or mountains causes ‘ghosting’, but still provides a viewable picture.

To obtain service please contact your local Panasonic dealer quoting the model number and serial number (both are located at the rear of the TV). Certain functions have a last position memory, i.e. the setting at the time of switch--off will be the setting used when the receiver is switched on again.
