Support Audio Description signal

(p. 13 and p. 22)

Audio description (AD) is an ancillary component associated with a broadcasting which delivers a verbal description of the visual scene as an aid to understanding and enjoyment particularly, for visually-impaired viewers.

HD ready

HD ready means the ability to display high-definition

pictures from HDMI and Component video inputs.

V-real 2

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.

High contrast

Contrast is the difference in light intensity between the brightest white and the darkest black that the VIERA can produce. The ability to express rich, deep blacks is extremely important for displaying beautiful pictures.

High gradation

Gradation refers to the smoothness of colour expression. Rich, fine gradation is extremely important for maximising the high resolution panel.

Lead-free display

All VIERA plasma display panels are lead-free. This reduces the impact on the environment when recycling or disposing of them in the future.

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:

You can enjoy news, weather forecasts and subtitles, etc. (depending on the broadcaster)

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.

DVB (digital broadcasting) mode

DVB teletext services

DVB teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext. When you switch to a DVB teletext service, the images you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster.

•

You can check if the programme has teletext information.

Technical Information

Aspect Ratio

Note

•

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard “16:9”, black bands may appear at the top and bottom of the screen.

•

If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the tracking of the VCR. (See the VCR manual.)

•

Aspect mode can be memorized for SD (Standard definition) and HD (High definition) signals separately.

•

To select the ratio manually: (Only “16:9” or “4:3” in PC mode)

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.

4:314:9

16:9

Zoom3

Zoom2Zoom1

Directly displays the image at “16:9” without distortion (anamorphic).

Displays a “16:9” letterbox or “4:3” image without distortion.

Displays the image at the standard “14:9” without enlargement.

Displays a “16:9” letterbox (anamorphic) image full-screen without distortion.

Displays the image at the standard “4:3” without distortion.

Displays a “2.35:1” letterbox (anamorphic) image full-screen without distortion. At “16:9”, displays the image at its maximum (with slight enlargement).

Auto

The best ratio is chosen and the picture expanded to fill the screen.

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.

Updating the DVB software

Note

•

During software download and update, DO NOT switch off the TV.

From time to time, a new version of software for DVB mode may become available for download to enhance performance or operations of the TV. A notification banner will appear when you tune to one of the BBC channels, or you can search for a new version software by using the “System Update Search Now” function (p. 27).

To start downloading press “OK”, this may take up to 20 minutes to complete. To ignore the new software press “EXIT”, but this banner will keep appearing during the period of new software availability, usually 2 to 3 days.

To download any new software automatically, ensure that the “Auto Update Search in Standby” function in the System Update menu is set to “On” (p. 27). The TV will then download new software automatically at night if it is left in standby without any timer programme in progress.
