Accessories / Options
Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself has the risk of personal injury and product
damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be sure to ask your dealer or a licensed contractor to secure
the wall-hanging brackets. Any damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.
Carefully read the instructions accompanying optional accessories, and be sure to take steps to prevent the TV from falling off.
Handle the TV carefully during installation since subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause product damage

heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Wall mounted equipment must not be grounded by metal within the
wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.
To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use for an extended period of time.

Note
As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background
to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for approximately
5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button
before download is complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download
is complete.
While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page
downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that this
is happening.

Timer Programming
Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you want to remind watching or record to the
external recorder. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel even if the TV is in Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event (p. 24).
Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
Timer Programming only works reliably if correct time information is received via the signal from the broadcaster or
service provider.
For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either on or in Standby. For reminders to be displayed, the
TV must be on.
No other channel can be selected while the recording of Timer Programming is in progress.
Recording an encrypted (copy-protected) programme may not be possible.
When recording programmes to the external recorder, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected
to the TV. If a recorder compatible with Q-Link, VIERA Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 76, 77)
and [Link Settings] (p. 37) are completed, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.
If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link, VIERA Link or similar technologies, make timer programming of the
recorder. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.
Recording to the external equipment via SCART is always in standard definition (composite video), even if the
original programme is in high definition.
2 minutes before the starting time, a reminder message appears if you are watching TV.

Technical Information
Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through
SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection or Justify to fill the screen).
This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.
Letterbox detection:
If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the
image to fill the screen.
If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel,
cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the
dirt or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
First clean the dust on the surface. Dampen a soft cloth with
clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100
parts water). Wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe
away all the moisture.
Caution
Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface.
Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent. Liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.
Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may
degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the
surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may
degrade surface quality.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
