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
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 defi nition) and HD (High defi nition) 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 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.
Just

Zoom3Zoom2Zoom1
Directly displays the image at “16:9” without distortion (anamorphic).

Displays a 4:3 image full-screen. Stretching is only noticeable at the left and right edges.
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 fi ll 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 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.
This function may not work normally depending on the equipment condition.
Image or sound may not be available for the fi rst few seconds when the playback starts.
Image or sound may not be available for the fi rst few seconds when Input mode is switched.
Volume function will be displayed when adjusting the volume of the equipment.
Easy playback is also available by using the remote control for Amplifi er or Player theatre. Read the manuals of the equipment.
If more than one equipments of the same type are connected to the TV by HDMI cables, for example two DIGA DVD recorders to HDMI1 and 2, VIERA Link will only be available for the lower terminal number, in this case HDMI1.
“HDAVI Control 2” is the newest standard (current as of February, 2007) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This standard is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI equipment.
HDMI connections to some Panasonic equipment allow you to interface them automatically. (p. 34)
