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.

About wireless LAN

●

Wireless LAN adapter and Access point need to be obtained separately.

For the latest information on applicable LAN adapters, check the following website: http://Panasonic.com/NetConnect

●

Check that the Access point supports WPS*.

(If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the Access point is required when configuring settings.)

●

Follow the instructions on the Access point setup screen and configure the appropriate security settings.

For more details on setting of Access point, please refer to operating manual for the Access point.

●

We recommend using 11n (5 GHz) for the wireless system between the wireless LAN adapter and Access point.

Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 11g (2.4 GHz), but the communication speed may be slower.

●

If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, devices that could connect by wireless LAN may no longer be able to connect.

●

When EASY IPTV, Network camera, DLNA, or other device is using the network, do not disconnect the wireless LAN adapter.

●

Keep the TV away from the following devices as much as possible:

Wireless LAN, microwaves, and other devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Otherwise, the TV failures such as malfunction may occur due to the radio wave interference.

* WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup

●

“HDAVI Control 5” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2010) for the HDAVI Control compatible equipment.

This standard is compatible with the conventional HDAVI equipment.

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”, “HDMI 2 in”, “HDMI 3 in” or “HDMI 4 in” menu screen. (p. 46)

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

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 and 1080p.

Match the output setting of the digital device.

●

For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 53.

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.

●

When playing a movie on SD Card Movie player, when the sound has been recorded in Dolby Digital, the output from the

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal will be Dolby Digital. When the sound is recorded in other formats, 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;

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, lintfree 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.)

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)

Questions Answers

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?

Why doesn’t the picture look like it is in High Definition?

Why do black bars appear on the top and bottom and/or sides of the screen?

Why is the picture snowy when

“ANT/Cable in” is selected?

Why is the picture chaotic and/ or torn and/or with a buzz in the speakers?

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.

Press the INFO button on the remote to confirm the type of signal being received (p. 17). 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.

Change the format (aspect ratio) of the picture by pressing the FORMAT button on the remote control. (p.18)

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.

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.43)

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. 17, 47)

Why is the screen blank and the power indicator blinking?

Why do some small spots on the screen remain bright or dark?

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).

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.

Questions

Why is there no sound coming from the TV?

Why is the sound unusual, distorted, low volume or in another language?

Why is there a clicking, ticking or buzzing sound coming from the TV unit?

What is the easiest and best way to connect a High-Definition

Cable or Satellite box to the TV?

Why does the CC button not display Closed Caption?

Why does the screen and back cover of the TV get warm?

Why doesn’t the Remote

Control work?

Why is the “ANT/Cable” option at the top of the “Input select” menu gray-out and cannot be selected?

Some menu items are grayedout and cannot be selected.

Why?

Answers

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.46)

Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is selected by pressing the SAP button on the remote control. (p.17)

If the TV is connected to a Panasonic Home Theater via HDMI cable, then check VIERA Link controls. (p.33)

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”, “HDMI 2 in”, “HDMI 3 in” or “HDMI 4 in” analog/digital audio settings. (p. 46)

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’)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

During “First time setup”, you indicated in step that you are using Cable or Satellite box and in step b that the box is connected to one of the TV’s AV inputs. In this case, the Antenna/Cable input is deactivated to prevent unintentional switching into unused tuner. To re-activate, press MENU, select SETUP and repeat “First time setup”.

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.

Questions

How do I get EASY IPTV to work on my TV?

How do I check for the latest software (firmware) version for my TV?

Can I use any USB WiFi adapter to connect the TV to my wireless network?

How do I reset my TV to all factory defaults and settings?

Answers

1. You need a broadband (high speed) Internet service with a speed of no less than 1.5 Mbps (p. 35).

2. Connect the TV to the Internet through your router by an

Ethernet cable or a compatible Panasonic USB wireless adapter.

3. Run the “Connections Test”, under the Network Settings menu.

If Connection test fails, then check with your Internet service provider or router/modem manufacturer if there are firewall, content filter or proxy settings that may block the

TV from accessing the Internet.

In the main menu, select “Setup”. Highlight “Network

Settings” and press OK. Select “Software Update”. The current version and latest version software will be shown. If software update is “grayed out”, the TV is not connected to the Internet. If newer version is available, update your TV.

Follow the on-screen instructions, do not power off the TV until the update is complete. Be patient; firmware update may take a while.

The TV’s internal software was designed to work with

Panasonic’s wireless adapter model DY-WL10*. Check www.panasonic.com/NetConnect for updated information.

In the main menu, select “Setup”. Highlight “Reset to

Defaults” and press OK. Enter your password (if created earlier) or create a temporary new password. Select Yes to reset the TV.
