Overview

This document provides operating instructions for the Panasonic TX-24E302B LED TV. It covers various aspects from initial setup and basic operation to advanced features and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The Panasonic TX-24E302B is a remote-controlled LED TV designed for household and similar general use, though it may also be used in public places. It features a fully integrated digital terrestrial/cable TV tuner (DVB-T-T2/C) capable of receiving digital terrestrial and cable services, including MPEG2, MPEG4-AVC(H.264), and MPEG HEVC(H.265). The TV supports HDMI inputs for connecting external devices, a USB input for media playback, and a Scart socket for older external devices like DVD players or video game consoles. It incorporates an OSD (On-Screen Display) menu system for easy navigation and configuration. The TV also includes a stereo sound system, Teletext services, and a headphone connection. For interactive services on digital channels, it offers Ethernet (LAN) connectivity.

Usage Features

The TV offers a comprehensive set of features to enhance the viewing experience. It includes an automatic programming system for easy channel setup and manual tuning for fine-grained control. The TV has an automatic power-down feature that can be set to activate after up to eight hours of inactivity, and a sleep timer for scheduled power-off. A child lock function allows for parental control over channels and menus. The TV automatically mutes the sound when there is no transmission. It supports NTSC playback and includes AVL (Automatic Volume Limiting) to maintain a consistent volume level across different programs. A PLL (Frequency Search) feature aids in channel scanning. The TV also provides a PC input for use as a computer monitor and an optional Game Mode for optimized gaming performance. A "Picture off" function allows users to turn off the screen while still listening to audio.

Initial setup involves a First Time Installation wizard that guides the user through language selection, country settings, and channel scanning for digital aerial, digital cable, or analogue broadcasts. The TV can automatically switch to standby mode if no input signal is received or if there is no operation for a certain period, displaying a notification message.

The remote control provides full functionality, including power on/off, menu navigation, input selection, volume and channel control, and direct access to features like Teletext, Media Player, and the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG). Coloured buttons on the remote correspond to on-screen instructions for specific functions. Numeric buttons allow for direct channel selection and text input.

The TV's control switch, located on the device, offers basic control over volume, channel, source selection, and standby/on functions, useful if the remote control is unavailable.

Media playback is supported via the USB input, allowing users to play photo, music, and movie files stored on a USB disk. The Media Player menu provides options for loop and shuffle playback modes.

The TV supports CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) and CEC RC Passthrough, enabling control of CEC-enabled devices connected via HDMI using the TV's remote control. The ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature allows audio to be sent from the TV to a connected audio system via HDMI. System Audio Control further integrates external audio amplifiers or receivers, allowing the TV's remote to control their volume.

The TV menu is organized into Picture, Sound, and Setup sections. The Picture menu offers various picture modes (Cinema, Game, Sports, Dynamic, Natural) and settings for contrast, brightness, sharpness, colour, and backlight. It also includes advanced settings like Dynamic Contrast, Noise Reduction, Colour Temp, White Point, Picture Zoom, Film Mode, Skin Tone, Colour Shift, and RGB Gain. For PC input, specific settings like Autoposition, H/V Position, Dot Clock, and Phase are available. The Sound menu allows adjustment of volume, equalizer settings, balance, headphone volume, sound modes, AVL, Dynamic Bass, Surround sound, and Digital Out type. The Setup menu includes options for Conditional Access, Language, Parental settings (Menu Lock, Maturity Lock, Child Lock, Guidance, PIN management), Timers, Date/Time, Sources, Network/Internet Settings, Accessibility (Hard of Hearing, Audio Description), Menu Timeout, Software Upgrade, Application Version, Subtitle Mode, Auto TV OFF, Store Mode, Power Up Mode, CEC, CEC Auto Power On, Speakers, and OSS information.

The EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) displays broadcast schedules with different layouts (Timeline, List, Now/Next Schedule) and offers features like zooming, filtering, genre highlighting, event details, and search. Event options allow users to select channels or set/delete timers for future events.

Teletext services provide digital teletext information, operable with coloured buttons and cursor controls, and can be viewed in a mix mode with the TV broadcast.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the TV. The display panel, cabinet, and pedestal should be gently wiped with a soft cloth to remove dirt and fingerprints. For stubborn dirt, a soft cloth dampened with water or diluted neutral detergent can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the TV. It is crucial to avoid hard cloths, excessive rubbing, insect repellents, solvents, thinners, or other volatile substances, as these can damage the surface quality or paint. The display panel is particularly delicate and should not be tapped or scratched with hard objects. Prolonged contact between the cabinet/pedestal and rubber or PVC substances should also be avoided. The mains plug should be wiped with a dry cloth regularly to prevent moisture and dust accumulation, which could lead to fire or electrical shock.

The TV also supports software upgrades, which can be found and installed automatically via the broadcast signal or manually through the Setup menu. The TV can search for new upgrades at 3:00 AM if the automatic scanning option is enabled and connected to an aerial signal.
