THINKING OF BUYING A TV ?

THINK OF QUALITY

THINK PANASONIC WIDESCREEN

 Panasonic televisions bring you all the benefits of easy to use, state of the art technologies and generations of experience gained at the leading edge of design, development and manufacturing.
 The result is a range of televisions that not only provide new and unsurpassed levels of picture and sound quality. They also offer superb, unobtrusive styling to suit any situation and the kind of quality, innovation, reliability and sheer good value that you’ve come to expect from Panasonic, a world leader in consumer electronics.

 Widescreen -
 A Television Revolution

 The Widescreen revolution now means that you can enjoy cinema format films from the comfort of your armchair. No longer need you suffer films made for the cinema widescreen (16:9 format) on a conventional 4:3 (12:9) aspect ratio. With broadcasters already making wide format programmes the revolution has already begun and you can enjoy it with the reassurance that this technology is brought to you by Panasonic who have more than 50 years of design, development and manufacturing expertise.
 Human eyesight provides us with a much broader view of life than the traditional 4:3 (12:9) aspect ratio television screen can replicate.
 The new widescreen format delivers a picture much closer to the way we see the world.
 The cinema has followed this principle for many years but until now when a film is transferred from the silver screen to the small screen a substantial portion of the picture is lost. By using a format similar to that of the cinema, widescreen technology means that you can enjoy more of the action

 Digital Management
 System - Television That
 Thinks for Itself!

 By processing pictures in a digital form, the detail and parameters are constantly monitored and adjusted as necessary (up to 100 times per second). Panasonic’s DigitalManagement System ensures a sharp image with true to life colours.

 8 Bit Digital Definition

 An image is created out of the tiny picture elements or pixels. 8 bit processing has twice the number of pixels as 7 bit processing. As a result, images are sharper, pictures have greater depth and realism and colours are sharper.

 Artificial Intelligence
 Artificial Intelligence continuously analyses each part of the picture, adjusting it to provide superb picture quality with clear, balanced colour.

 Owner
 Identificatio n

 It is an unavoidable fact of life that televisions are high on the list for thefts. For this reason Panasonic have introduced an Owner Identification System enabling the owener to programme into the sets memory their name, address and postcode. In the event of the set being stolen and subsequently recovered it can be returned to its rightful owner.

NEW TUBE PRODUCTION IN EUROPE

 Digital Colour Transient
 Improver
 The Digital Colour Transient Improver prevents adjacent colours from merging into one another at their borders.

 Auto Set-Up

 Panasonic televisions incorporate a range of features to simplify the initial tuning and set-up process.
 Auto Tuning scans the tuner range and stores the channels located. Edit and Swap function enables these to be re-ordered as desired whilst Auto Sort memorises the channels in a pre-defined order and on all Nicam Stereo models has the ability to select on the strongest signals and shuffle their order.

 Dolby Pro-Logic -
 Cinema Sound all Round!

 Cinema goers have enjoyed the benefits of Dolby Pro-Logic for years. Dolby Stereo Surround keeps an audience enthralled by utilising speakers both in front and behind them. The sound effect created is so realistic that you’ll think you’re taking a starring role.
 With the new 3D Active range you can enjoy a 3 dimensional sound effect without the need for external speakers.
 Models equipped with the Dolby Pro-Logic Surround Sound System enable you to experience films with the same superb sound effects as the cinema. This state of the art surround sound system uses the latest technology to decode the special additional soundtrack created directly for use in the cinema.
 Thousands of movies have been recorded with the Dolby Pro-Logic soundtrack and many TV and satellite programmes are already broadcast with Dolby Pro-Logic Surround Sound.

 Quintrix -
 A Step Closer to
 Prefection

 Panasonic’s own Quintrix picture tube range is the result of Panasonic’s engineering experts in Europe and Japan working together to develop new technologies and processes. Quintrix tubes are now manufactured in Panasonic’s state-of-the-art production facility in Europe. By vastly enhancing the design and function of complex Super Pigment and Electron Gun technologies, Panasonic’s unique Quintrix Cathode Ray Tube (ORT) sets new standards.

 Just about every factor that can be improved to help produce unsurpassed picture quality has been. The result is a tube which gives you the ultimate in viewing enjoyment through the best possible combination of more natural colours, brighter pictures, reduced ambient light for better levels of contrast and razor sharp focus across the whole screen.

 100Hz Frequency
 Scanning for Flicker-
 Free Viewing.

 Conventional television uses 50Hz frequency scanning, one to which the human eye is particularly sensitive. This explains why the picture frequently seems to flicker and can be tiring to watch. However, our 100Hz frequency scanning technology effectively doubles the scanning rate to that of conventional sets and produces a rock steady picture that is much easier on the eye.

 Digital Broadcasting
 Prepared for the Future
 The future trends of broadcasting are already becoming apparent. Vastly increased programme choice as well as interactive facilities will become available. You will be able to take advantage of these new broadcast trends by purchasing a set-top box when available.
