Starting in late 2007 and ending in 2012, TV services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.

If you have any questions, please call Digital UK on 08456 50 50 50 or visit www.digitaluk.co.uk

Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks. When it starts you will lose all Analogue TV programmes and some Digital TV programmes will be missing. You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital programmes.

•To retune your TV“Auto Setup” in “Tuning Menu” (p. 35)

Cable or Satellite users should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview services via their aerial. (Your Analogue programme for viewing Cable or Satellite services will change to a new position.)

•Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the digital signals may be relatively low in some cases, despite good reception of analogue programmes.

FULL HD

This TV uses a high definition panel to produce high definition pictures close to their original resolution.

Intelligent Frame Creation

This increases the frame count and allows natural frame-to-frame transitions, for flicker-less motion images with high resolution.

100Hz Double Scan

100Hz Double Scan is a function of this TV that reduces large area flicker.

30,000:1 Native Contrast (1,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast)

A wide contrast ratio will deliver pictures with a deep black level and a brighter white level for greater image depth.

Digital Cinema Colour

VIERA’s wide colour gamut covers 120 %

of the conventional HDTV colour standard.

The result is a level of colour expression that approaches Digital Cinema.

VIERA emulates the colour of digital cinema projectors currently in theatres.

x.v.Colour

“x.v.Colour” is a promotion name given to the products that have the capability to realize a wide colour space based on the xvYCC specifications.

“x.v.Colour” is a trademark.

0.001 msec Panel Response Time

Extremely fast response time to minimise picture lag.

24p Real Cinema

The 24p source data of movies is converted into a video signal with 6 frames/0.1 second. This produces smoother movie playback.

V-AUDIO Surround

Utilises Panasonic’s advanced Digital Amplification technology and SRS TruSurround XT.

Lead-freedisplay

All VIERA plasma display panels are lead-free. This reduces the impact on the environment

when recycling or disposing of them in the future.

Up to 100,000 hours Plasma Panel Lifetime

The Plasma display panel used in the 2008 VIERA TV range is rated for up to 100,000 hours.

This measurement is based on the time taken for the brightness of the panel to reduce to half of it’s maximum level. The time taken to reach this level may vary depending on the image content and the environment where the TV is used.

Image retention and malfunctions are not taken into account.

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.

	Select DVB

	INPUT
	OPTION SD CARD	2	Switch to Teletext
	EXIT		17:51 28 Feb

RETURN

3	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:

•When “select” or “go” is displayed

•When “◄”, “►”, “▲”, “▼” symbol is displayed

•When the key words are displayed on colour bar red green yellow blue
•When options with numbers are displayed
•When “i” is displayed	(information)

Note

	As soon as you switch to a DVB programme 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 programme, 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	17
	this is happening.
