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. 40).
Note
HDMI is the world’s fi rst complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
•
Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 Input” menu screen. (p. 24)
If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.

Pixel Statement
An image on a LCD or Plasma TV screen is created by many small
•
groups of dots known as pixels (which is similar to the image in a
newspaper). It also naturally follows that higher panel resolutions
contain more pixels. To create a colour image, each pixel consists
of three tiny coloured dots (known as sub-pixels), one each of red,
green and blue. Each one of these dots is precisely controlled by
the electronics of the TV to produce the picture.
Whilst Panasonic maintains the highest standards in manufacturing
technology and processes in the construction of these panels,
there are a number of allowable pixel/subpixel failures that still
allow the panel to be defi ned as a good panel. It is not possible to
guarantee absolutely no pixel loss.
