Set up
Ŷ
Do not place the Plasma TV on sloped or unstable surfaces.
The Plasma TV may fall off or tip over.
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.
This Plasma TV is for use only with the following optional accessories. Use with any other type of optional accessories may cause instability which could result in the possibility of injury.
(All of the following accessories are manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.)
• Wall-hanging bracket (Vertical): TY-WK42PV3U (TH-37PX60U, TH-42PX60U,
TH-42PX60X, TH-50PX60U, TH-50PX60X, TH-58PX60U)
• Wall-hanging bracket (Angled): TY-WK42PR2U, TY-WK42PR3U (TH-37PX60U, TH-42PX60U, TH-42PX60X, TH-50PX60U, TH-50PX60X)
Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
AC Power Supply Cord
Ŷ
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz (TH-37PX60U, TH-42PX60U, TH-50PX60U, TH-58PX60U) or on 110 - 127 V AC, 50/60 Hz (TH-42PX60X, TH-50PX60X). 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, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable.
Do not make any modifications to, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
Notes
Do not display a still picture for a long time
Ŷ
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen (“after image”). This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still images
Channel number and other logos Image displayed in 4:3 mode SD Card photo Video game Computer image
If problems occur during use
Ŷ
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 cord immediately.
Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the TV evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by any unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.
CAUTION
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.
If using the pedestal, leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8” (6 cm) or more at the bottom, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear.
When using the Plasma TV
Ŷ
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.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet 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 from becoming dusty.
Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it 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. Do not climb up onto the television or use it as a step. (Young children should be made particularly aware of this caution.)
If the unit falls over or becomes damaged through misuse, injury may result.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the power cord is inserted into the wall outlet.
12
Setup
Ŷ
Do not place the unit where it’s exposed to sunlight or other bright light (including reflections). Use of some types of fluorescent lighting may reduce the remote control’s transmission range.
To prevent after image, the screen saver is automatically activated after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are performed. (p. 45)

strong enough to support the plasma television, and it might fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Use the accessory fall-prevention brackets to secure the plasma television.
If the unit is knocked or children climb onto the pedestal with the Plasma TV installed, the plasma television may
fall over and personal injury may result.
Two or more people are required to install and remove the television.

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 terminal 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 device 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 “HDMI1 in” or “HDMI2 in” menu screen. (p. 20)
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”.
This HDMI connector is “type A”.
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.

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, lint-free cloth.
If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution 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 detergent solution 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.
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 neutral detergent 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.)
