FULL HD

This TV uses a high definition plasma panel

(1920 × 1080 pixels) to produce high definition pictures close to their original resolution.

V-real Pro 2

V-real Pro 2 technology is the collective name for original technologies developed by

Panasonic to enhance total Full HD (1080p) image quality: V-real Pro 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 Pro 2 DRIVER: Precisely controls panel drive to optimise its performance. Achieves high image quality with the equivalent of high steps of gradation.

V-real Pro 2 PANEL: Provide clear, vivid display of the video signal after processing by the V-real Pro 2 Processor and Driver. The high resolution of 1,920 × 1,080 pixels ensures beautiful images with clearer, sharper details.

High gradation

Gradation Steps Gradation refers to the smoothness of colour expression.

Rich, fine gradation is extremely important for maximising the high resolution panel. Uses maximum 16-bit signal processing to provide the equivalent of 4,096 steps of gradation.

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.

Remove the mains plug from the wall socket when the TV is not used for a prolonged period of time. Ensure the grounding pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.

An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

Do not use any mains lead other than that provided with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.)

Do not expose to direct sunlight and other sources of heat

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.

A 5 amp (TH-42PZ700BA, TH-42PZ700B) / 10 amp (TH-50PZ700B, TH-58PZ700B) fuse is fitted in this mains plug. Shall the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amps (TH-42PZ700BA, TH-42PZ700B) / 10 amps (TH-50PZ700B, TH-58PZ700B) and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark ASA or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

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.

WARNING: – THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

IMPORTANT: – The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: – Green-and-Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live

As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your mains plug, proceed as follows.

The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the mains plug which is marked with the letter E or by the Earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN-AND-YELLOW.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the mains plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the mains plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.
