Dear Panasonic Customer,

Welcome to the Panasonic family of customers. We hope that you have many years of enjoyment

from your new colour television. This is a very advanced television; however, the Quick Start Guide will

tell you how to have the TV operating quickly. You can then read the instructions completely and retain

them for future reference.
