close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Secure Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the LCD

TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. There should be at least 10 cm of space

around the TV. The openings should never be blocked by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This

LCD TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the

LCD TV to normal operation.

e. If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

f. When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

21)

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES

WARNING

Flat panel displays are not always supported on the

proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s

recommendations. Flat panel displays that are inappropriately

situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,

chests or carts may fall over and may cause personal injury or

even death.

The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic is

a member) is committed to making home entertainment

enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be

sure to follow the following safety guidelines:

TUNE INTO SAFETY:

• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations for the safe installation and use of your

flat panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for

proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and

television sets.

• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be

used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can become excited while watching

a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel

displays. Care should be taken to install the display where it

cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables

connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be

pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT

YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display

manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory

(such as UL, CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall

mount manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely

install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about

professional installation.

• Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display

is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to

be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block

construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional

installer.

• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat

panel displays can be heavy.

Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform

the wall-mount installation. See page 5.

The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages

television viewing for children younger than two years

of age.

HDMI connection

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting

the TV unit and HD devices.

HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a Cable or Satellite box or a DVD player, can be

connected to the HDMI connector using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.

HDMI is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.

If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (*2).

When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.

Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI 1 in” or “HDMI 2 in” menu screen. (p. 32)

Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz

(*1): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant device.

(*2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

Caution

Use with a PC is not assumed.

All signals are reformatted before being displayed on the screen.

If the connected device has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.

These HDMI connectors are “type A”.

These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection.

A device having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT” or “VIDEO” to

receive analog signals.

The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p.

Match the output setting of the digital device.

For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 39.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal

You can enjoy your Home theater by connecting a Dolby Digital (5.1 channel) decoder and “Multi Channel” amplifier to the

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals.

Caution

Depending on your DVD player and DVD-Audio software the copyright protection function may operate and disable optical

output.

When an ATSC channel is selected, the output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack will be Dolby Digital. When an NTSC

channel is selected, the output will be PCM.

Closed Caption (CC)

For viewing the CC of digital broadcasting, set the aspect to FULL (If viewing with H-FILL, JUST, ZOOM or 4:3;

characters might be cut off).

The CC can be displayed on the TV only when the receiver (such as a Cable box or satellite receiver) has the CC set

to ON within the device itself. Check with your Cable or Satellite provider for instructions. The TV’s CC button does

not operate the Satellite or Cable box’s CC function.

If the CC is set to On on both the receiver and TV when the signal is 480i (except for the HDMI connection), the CC

may overlap on the TV.

If a digital program is being output in analog format, the CC data will also be output in analog format.

If the recorder or output monitor is connected to the TV, the CC needs to be set up on the recorder or output monitor.

Care and Cleaning

First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Display panel

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-

free cloth.

If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted

by 100 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the

display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.

Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile

substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

Cabinet

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to

wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with the surface of the LCD TV.

If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.

Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet

surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off.

Do not let articles made from rubber or PVC be in contact with the TV for long periods of time.

Pedestal

Cleaning

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small

amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.

Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface coating.

(If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)

Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term contact with

rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)

Power cord plug

Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical shock.)

Questions Answers

Picture

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If there is a problem with your TV, please refer to the table below to determine the symptoms, then carry out the

suggested check. If this does not solve the problem, visit the Panasonic web site for further assistance. (see cover)

How do I view the picture from

devices such as a: Cable/

Satellite box, game console,

Blu-ray or DVD player?

Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the correct

input source.

Check that the device is turned on and functioning

correctly.

Why is there no picture or just

a blue, black or snowy screen

being displayed?

Check if the power cord is plugged in and the TV is turned

on (front red LED light should be on; not blinking)

Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the correct input source.

Ensure all connections are correct and secure.

When using external video source, such as a Cable/Satellite box or

DVD player, check that the device is on and functioning correctly.

Press MENU on the TV’s remote control. If the menu is

displayed, then the TV is working; recheck above steps.

Why doesn’t the picture look

like it is in High Definition?

Press the INFO button on the remote to confirm the type of signal

being received (p. 15). HD signal should be 720P, 1080i or 1080p.

Select a High Definition channel from your HD source

(Cable, Satellite or fiber optic service). HD channels

sometimes broadcast non-HD content.

Ensure that your HD source (HD box, Blu-ray player, etc.)

is connected to the TV with an HDMI or Component cable

and set to output an HD video signal.

Why do black bars appear on

the top and bottom and/or sides

of the screen?

Change the format (aspect ratio) of the picture by pressing

the FORMAT button on the remote control. (p.16)

Check the aspect settings on your external video source,

such as Cable/Satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray Disc player, etc.

Note: Some content, such as film-based movies, are available in

extra-wide format. Top and bottom bars are unavoidable.

Why is the picture snowy when

“ANT/Cable in” is selected?

When using a cable service (without a box), check that all

connections are secure.

When using a cable or satellite box, change the connection

(wiring) to Composite, Component or HDMI. (p.10)

If you’re using an antenna, then check that connections are

secure. Change the position or direction of the antenna and

check the “Signal meter”. (p.29)

Why is the picture chaotic and/

or torn and/or with a buzz in the

speakers?

Check if electrical products such as kitchen appliances, fluorescent lights

or light dimmers are nearby. They may interfere with the TV’s picture.

Try viewing a picture from another device, such as a DVD player

or a game console, to narrow down the source of the problem.

Why is there a black box on the

screen? Change settings of Closed Caption (CC). (p. 15, 38)

Why is the screen blank and the

power indicator blinking?

The TV has gone into shutdown mode to protect itself. Try unplugging

it for a few minutes and connecting it again. If there was a temporary

power surge on the AC line it may now be OK. If the blinking returns,

call 1-877-95VIERA (U.S.A.) or 1-866-330-0014 (Canada).

Why do some small spots on

the screen remain bright or

dark?

The LCD panel is made up of a few million pixels and is

produced with advanced technology through an intricate

process. Sometimes a few pixels may be bright or dark.

These pixels do not indicate a defective panel and will have

no impact on the performance of the TV.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Answers

Sound Other

Why is there no sound coming

from the TV?

Make sure the volume is up and MUTE is off.

Confirm the TV speakers are set to ON by pressing MENU

and selecting “Audio” --> “Advanced audio”. (p.32)

Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is

selected by pressing the SAP button on the remote control. (p.15)

If the TV is connected to a Panasonic Home Theater via

HDMI cable, then check VIERA Link controls. (p.22)

If the TV is connected to a Home Theater via optical cable,

then: Check the connection, the audio system is on, the

correct input is selected.

Check “HDMI 1 in” or “HDMI 2 in” analog/digital audio

settings. (p. 32)

Why is the sound unusual,

distorted, low volume or in

another language?

Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is

selected by pressing the SAP button on the remote control.

Check that all connections of external equipment

connected to the TV are secure.

When using Cable or Satellite box, check the device’s audio

settings. (example: try changing the box’s Audio Range to ‘narrow’)

Why is there a clicking, ticking

or buzzing sound coming from

the TV unit?

When TV power is turned on or shut off there are electrical

components that make a click sound. This is normal operation.

Changes in the temperature and humidity of the room may

cause thermal expansion and contraction that can produce

sounds. This is not a sign of faulty operation or a malfunction.

What is the easiest and best

way to connect a High-Definition

Cable or Satellite box to the TV?

Use an HDMI cable. It carries both digital video and audio

signal in HD. HDMI cable is the only cable needed to

connect an HD device to the TV.

Why is there no yellow jack

(video 1 input) on the back of

the TV?

The Video 1 input is shared with the Component input.

Just connect the yellow plug into the green jack. Be sure to

connect the red and white audio plugs into the appropriate

red and white audio inputs. (p. 10)

Why does the CC button not

display Closed Caption?

When viewing TV via an HDMI connected device, such as

a Cable or Satellite box, CC must be enabled at the device.

Closed Caption is available only at supported TV programming.

Why does the screen and back

cover of the TV get warm?

The main unit radiates heat and some of the parts may

become hot. This is normal operation and does not affect

the performance of the set.

Ensure good ventilation.

Do not block the ventilation holes of the TV and do not

place the TV on top of other equipment.

Why doesn’t the Remote

Control work?

Check that the batteries are fresh, are of the same type

and are installed with the correct polarity (+ & -).

To operate other devices, such as changing channels when

using Cable or Satellite boxes or operating non-Panasonic

Blu-ray players, use the remote supplied with the device.

Why is the “ANT/Cable” option

at the top of the “Input select”

menu gray-out and cannot be

selected?

During “First time setup”, step 3, you indicated that the

“Antenna/Cable in” connector is “not used” (p.13). This is the

proper setting if the TV is connected to a Cable or Satellite

box via any of the other inputs. To re-activate the “ANT/

Cable” input, press MENU, select SETUP and then redo the

First time setup, selecting Cable or Antenna in step 3.

Some menu items are grayed-

out and cannot be selected.

Why?

Depending on certain modes or the selected input, some

options are not available. For example, Zoom adjustments are

only available when the FORMAT is changed to zoom mode.
