DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION NOTICE

This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States (as required by law) on February 17,

2009. Some older television receivers, if they rely on a TV antenna, will need a TV Converter to receive over the air digital programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, or playing video games). When a Converter is used with an older television receiver, a signal splitter might be necessary to continue to receive low-power analog broadcasts via an antenna. For more information, please see www.DTV.gov. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009. Please check with your cable or satellite service provider if you have questions about your cable or satellite set-top box.

WARNING/CAUTION

WARNING

Small parts can present choking hazard if accidentally swallowed. Keep small parts away from young children. Discard unneeded small parts and other objects, including packaging materials and plastic bags/sheets to prevent them from being played with by young children, creating the potential risk of suffocation.

Set up

This Plasma TV may fall and can cause personal injury or

even death if not installed correctly. To prevent personal injury or death, follow these warnings:

Install the Plasma TV in accordance with the

manufacturer’s recommended pedestal or stand, corresponding hardware and installation instructions.

This Plasma TV is for use only with the following optional

accessories. Use with any other type of optional accessories may cause instability. The following accessories are manufactured by Panasonic Corporation.

• Wall-hanging bracket (Angled) TY-WK4P1RW

Be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out the

installation and set-up.

Two or more people are required to install or remove the

television.

Some wall mounts (wall-hanging brackets) are not

designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block constructions.

Ask your dealer or licensed contractor to properly secure the

wall-hanging bracket.

Do not place the Plasma TV or its stand on a sloped or

unstable surface.

The Plasma TV may fall or tip over.

Do not support the Plasma TV on a non-specified

pedestal.

Do not place the Plasma TV on furniture that can easily

be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers. Do not climb or allow children to climb on the Plasma TV Place or install the Plasma TV where it cannot be pushed,

pulled over or knocked down. Route all cords and cables such that they cannot be

tripped over or pulled by curious children. Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV.

If water spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get

inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire

or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma

TV, please consult an Authorized Service Center.

AC Power Supply Cord

To prevent fire or electric shock:

The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC,

60 Hz service. Insert the power cord plug as far as it will

go into the wall socket.

If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may generate, which

could cause a fire.

The included power cord is for use with this unit only. Do not use any power cord other than that provided with

this TV. Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Do not do anything that might damage the power supply

cord.

When disconnecting the power supply cord, hold the

plug, not the cord.

Do not use the power supply cord if the plug or cord is

damaged.

Replace the cord or contact your Authorized Service Center

Handling the power supply cord

Insert the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the

power plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.) Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible. Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely

connected to prevent electrical shock.

•

An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This may

cause electrical shock.) Do not use any power cord other than that provided with

this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.) Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord may

cause fire or electrical shock.)

•

Do not move the TV with the cord plugged in the socket outlet.

• Do not place a heavy object on the cord or place the cord near a high-temperature object.

• Do not twist the cord, bend it excessively, or stretch it.

• Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power plug body when disconnecting cord.

• Do not use a damaged power plug or socket outlet.

If Problems Occur During Use

If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound),

or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma TV, unplug the power supply cord immediately.

Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause

a fire or permanent damage to the TV. Have the TV evaluated by an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high voltage.

If water or an object get inside the Plasma TV, if the

Plasma TV is dropped, or if the enclosure becomes damaged, unplug the power supply cord immediately.

A short-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire. Contact

an Authorized Service Center for an evaluation.

CAUTION

Do not cover the ventilation holes.

Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can

cause a fire or damage to the Plasma TV.

Leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left

and right, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear.

When using the pedestal, keep the space between the

bottom of the TV and the pedestal or stand surface clear from objects that may obstruct ventilation.

When Moving the Plasma TV

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the

Plasma TV.

Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the

cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock

To prevent an electric shock, disconnect the power

plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

Safety Precautions (Continued)

Transport only in upright position

Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or

downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.

Using a dry cloth, clean any dust from the power supply

cord and plug regularly.

Build-up of dust on the power cord plug can increase

humidity, which might damage the insulation and cause a fire.

This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays;

therefore, it may affect other infrared communication

equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.

The TV will still consume some power as long as the power supply cord is connected to the wall outlet.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES: 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.

Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong force

or impact to the display panel.

This may cause damage resulting in injury.

The TV is heavy. TV should be handled by 2 or more

people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV tipping or falling.

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 followthe followingsafety 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.

VIERA LinkTM HDAVI Control

HDMI connections to some Panasonic equipment allow you to interface automatically. (p. 30)

This function may not work normally depending on the equipment condition. The equipment can be operated by other remote controls with this function on even if TV is in Standby mode. Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when the playback starts. Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when Input mode is switched. Volume function will be displayed when adjusting the volume of the equipment.

If you connect the same kind of equipment at once (for example: one DIGA to HDMI 1 / another DIGA to HDMI 2), VIERA Link

is available for the terminal with the smaller number. If you connect equipment that has “HDAVI Control 2 or later” function to the TV with HDMI cable, the sound from DIGITAL

AUDIO OUT terminal can be output as multi channel surround. “HDAVI Control 4” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2008) 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 the devices. 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 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. 26)

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.

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”, “S VIDEO”, 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 below.

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

Technical Information

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals

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.

Picture mode

Vivid: Provides enhanced picture contrast and sharpness for viewing in a well-lit room. Standard: Recommended for normal viewing conditions with subdued room lighting. Cinema: For watching movies in a darkened room. It provides a soft, film-like picture. Custom (Photo): Customizes each item according to your taste.

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 Plasma 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. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.

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.)
