Dear Panasonic Customer,
ABCDEF
We hope that you have many years of enjoyment from your new TV. The Quick Start Guide section at the beginning of
this instruction book will allow you to use the TV as quickly as possible. We recommend that you then read the complete
instruction book, and keep it to refer to as you explore the range of advanced features that this Plasma TV offers.
Analogue and Digital television – what are they?
Analogue transmission is the system that has been used for many years for broadcasting television programmes. With continuous
improvements in technology it is now possible to transmit programmes in a digital format, allowing clearer pictures, more stations and
other services to be displayed on screen. Digital television is provided in three different ways; it can be sent along a cable connection
direct to your house, broadcast from a satellite, or broadcast using traditional land based (terrestrial) transmitters. The first two options
require you to have an extra “set top box” decoder and in the case of satellite, a receiving dish mounted outdoors. While allowing you
to receive traditional analogue transmissions in the usual way, this television can also receive terrestrial digital services using an
integrated
interactive services, without the need for a “set top box” or satellite dish – an adequate roof or loft mounted antenna is all you need.
(Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder. This allows you to enjoy the new era of digital terrestrial television, including

If water is spilt 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 your local Panasonic dealer.
If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of at least 10 cm at the top, left and right, at least 6
cm at the bottom, and at least 7 cm at the rear. If using some other setting-up method, leave a space of at
least 10 cm at the top, bottom, left and right, and at least 1.9 cm at the rear.
Electromagnetic interference may occur if electronic equipments are placed near each other.
It will cause interference in image, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.
•
Batteries, packaging and old equipment should not be disposed of as domestic waste, but in
accordance with the applicable regulations.
When using the Plasma TV
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma TV.
•
Do not insert any foreign objects into the Plasma TV.
Do not insert any metal or flammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma TV, as
•
doing so can cause fire or electric shock.
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Plasma TV. For any inspection,
•
adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall
•
socket plate is loose, do not use them.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
Doing so may cause electric shocks.
•
Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the plug
body, not the cable.
Do not damage the cable, make any modifications to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any
•
hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fire and electric shock. If the power cable
is damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.
If the Plasma TV is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, unplug the power cord plug from
the wall outlet.

Safety Precautions
If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odour starts to come out
from the Plasma TV, immediately unplug the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
If you continue to use the Plasma TV in this condition, fire or electric shock could result. After checking that the
•
smoke has stopped, contact your local Panasonic dealer so that the necessary repairs can be made. Repairing
the Plasma TV yourself is extremely dangerous, and should never be attempted.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes
damages, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
A short circuit may occur, which could cause fire. Contact your local Panasonic dealer for any repairs that need to
•
be made.
CAUTION
When using the Plasma TV
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma TV.
Heated air comes out from the ventilation holes at the top of Plasma TV will be hot. Do not bring your hands or
•
face, or objects which cannot withstand heat, close to this port, otherwise burns or deformation could result.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV.
If the Plasma TV is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged, and fire
•
or electric shock could result.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall socket as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
•
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it becoming dusty.
If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fire.
•
Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.
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.
Maintenance
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water to
•
which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and 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, otherwise the surface may
•
become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner,
otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been
•
added 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 detergent 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.
