V-real 2 technology is the collective name for original technologies developed by Panasonic to enhance total image quality: V-real 2 PROCESSOR: Enhance and output the incoming video signals as high-image-quality signals. The resulting video signals deliver the kind of high resolution that large screens require. V-real 2 DRIVER: Precisely controls panel drive to optimise its performance. Achieves high image quality with the equivalent of high steps of gradation. V-real 2 PANEL: Provide clear, vivid display of the video signal after processing by the V-real 2 Processor and Driver.

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.

Transport only in upright position

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

IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED MAINS PLUG

FOR YOUR SAFETY, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY. This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is

ASA

Check for the ASTA mark If the mains plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.

If you lose the fuse cover the mains plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover may be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer.

If the fitted moulded mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home, then the fuse shall be removed and the mains plug cut off and disposed of safety. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off mains plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

If a new mains plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

How to use

In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all manufacturers of DVB equipment, some on screen commands may not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons. For example:

When “select” or “go” is displayed

•

When “◄”, “►”, “▲”, “▼” symbol is displayed

•

When the key words are displayed on colour bar

•

When options with numbers are displayed

•

When “i” is displayed (information)

Note

As soon as you switch to a DVB channel with links to a teletext service,

•

software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a DVB channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed. While navigating DVB teletext, you will find there is a short delay when

•

moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that this is happening.

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. 42).

Note

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 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

Technical Information

Aspect Ratio

The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy finer images. (p. 13)

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.
