Installation of the pedestal
Warning
Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.
Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
•
Caution
Do not use any other TV and displays.
Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
•
Do not use the pedestal if it becomes warped or physically damaged.
If you use the pedestal while it is physically damaged, personal injury may result. Contact your nearest
•
Panasonic dealer immediately.
During set-up, make sure that all screws are securely tightened.
If suffi cient care is not taken to ensure screws are properly tightened during assembly, the pedestal will not be
•
strong enough to support the TV, and it might fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Use the accessory fall-prevention brackets to secure the TV.
If the TV is knocked or children climb onto the pedestal with the TV installed, the TV may fall over and personal
•
injury may result.
Two or more people are required to install and remove the TV.
If two or more people are not present, the TV may be dropped, and personal injury may result.
•
Note
Maintenance
•
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the pedestal 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.)

Technical Information
Aspect Ratio
The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy fi ner images. (p. 15)
Auto: Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio to use to fi ll your screen. It does this using a four step process
■
to determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture.
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 identifi cation 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 fi ll the screen. This
process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.
