(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 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, remove the mains plug immediately! (such as strange smell or smoke) AC 220-240 V 50 / 60 Hz Do not remove covers NEVER modify the TV yourself (High-voltage components may cause serious electrical shock.) Have the TV checked, adjusted, or repaired at your local Panasonic dealer. Do not place foreign objects inside the TV Do not let metal or flammable objects drop into the TV through the air vents (fire or electrical shock may result). Do not expose to direct sunlight and other sources of heat Avoid exposing the TV to direct sunlight and other sources of heat. To prevent fire never place any type of candle or naked flame on top or near the TV. 4 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 place the TV on an unstable surface Use only the dedicated stands / mounting equipment Using an unauthorized stand or other fixtures may make the TV shaky, risking injury. Be sure to ask your local Panasonic dealer to perform setup. Use optional stands / mounts (p. 6). Notes Caution Remember not to keep still pictures on the screen for extended lengths of 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. Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat Such still pictures cause after-images on the plasma screen if they are displayed for a long time. These after-images are not considered malfunctions and are not covered by the warranty. Typical still images Channel number and unique logos Image displayed in 4:3 mode Video game Computer image 4:3 12 10 10 10 6 7 (cm) Do not block the rear air vents Blocked ventilation by curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fire or electrical shock. To decrease the chance of after-images, a screen saver will be automatically activated after a few minutes if there is no signal and if there is no operation in AV mode. (p. 37) The screen saver will be automatically deactivated when a signal is detected or an operation is executed. Keep the TV away from these equipment Electronic equipment In particular, do not place video equipment near the TV (electromagnetic interference may distort images / sound). Equipment with an infrared sensor This TV also emits infrared rays (this may affect operation of other equipment). Maintenance First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

(p. 11) ŶAuto aspect: 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 aspect" 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.
