Safety Precautions
Warning
Handling the mains plug and lead
Insert the mains plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the mains plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.)
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the grounding pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)
Do not use any mains lead other than that provided with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.)
Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fire or electrical shock.)
Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the socket outlet.
Do not place a heavy object on the lead or place the lead near a high-temperature object.
Do not twist the lead, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
Do not pull on the lead. Hold onto the mains plug body when disconnecting lead.
Do not use a damaged mains plug or socket outlet.
If you find any

abnormality,

(High-voltage components may cause serious

electrical shock.)
Have the TV checked, adjusted, or repaired at your
local Panasonic dealer.
Keep liquids away from the TV

To prevent damage which may result in fire or
shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to
dripping or splashing.
Do not place containers with water (flower vase,
cups, cosmetics, etc.) above the TV. (including on
shelves above, etc.)
Do not expose to direct sunlight

Notes
Caution
Do not display a still picture for a long time
When cleaning the TV, remove the

mains plug
(Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.)
When TV will not be used for a

long time, remove the mains plug
This TV will still consume some power even
in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is
still connected to a live socket outlet.
Transport only in upright position

Transporting the TV with its display panel
facing upright or downward may cause
damage to the internal circuitry.
Allow sufficient space around the

TV for radiated heat
This causes the image to remain on the plasma

screen (image retention).
This is not considered a malfunction and is not
covered by the warranty.
Typical still images

Caution
Note
Maintenance
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the pedestal is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to
which a small amount of neutral detergent 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.)

Use the accessory fall-prevention brackets to secure the TV.
If the TV is knocked or children climb onto the pedestal with the TV installed, the TV may fall over and personal
injury may result.
Two or more people are required to install and remove the TV.

HDMI Functions
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and highquality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment (1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD
player, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see External Equipment (p. 38).
HDMI is the worlds first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 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 (HDMI1: use
COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals).
Audio settings can be made on the HDMI1 Input menu screen. (p. 22)
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only.
Use with a PC is not assumed.
If the connected equipment 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.
An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either Component,
S-VIDEO, or Video to receive analogue signals.
The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals:
480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 43.
(1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
(2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

Technical Information
Aspect Ratio
The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy finer images. (p. 15)
Auto: Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio to use to fill your screen. It does this using a four step process
to determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture.
If Auto aspect detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen mode. If Auto aspect
does not detect a widescreen signal then this advanced TV enhances the picture for optimum viewing pleasure.
The text shown on the screen indicates how Auto aspect determined which ratio to use:
WIDE appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identification signal (WSS) is found or a signal found
through a SCART terminal. Auto aspect switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. This function
will also work in any aspect mode. Auto appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and below
the picture are detected. Auto aspect chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to fill the screen. This
process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.
