Important Installation Notices

Install the TV on a stable surface

If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable
location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by
taking simple precautions such as:

●

Using cabinets or stands recommended by the
manufacturer of the television.

●

Only using furniture that can safely support the
television.

●

Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of
the supporting furniture.

●

Not placing the televisions on tall furniture (for example,
cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the television to a suitable support.

●

Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials
placed between the television and supporting furniture.

●

Educating children about the dangers of climbing on
furniture to reach the television or its controls.

When cleaning the TV, remove the mains
plug

●

Cleaning an energised TV may cause electric shock.

Do not apply strong force or impact to the
display panel

●

This may cause damage resulting in injury.

Do not block the rear air vents

●

Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of
electronic components.

●

Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items such as newspapers,
table cloths and curtains.

●

We recommend that a gap of at least 10 cm is left all
around this TV even when placed inside a cabinet or
between shelves.

●

When using the pedestal, keep the space between the
bottom of the TV and the surface where the TV is set.

●

If pedestal is not used, ensure the vents in the bottom of
the TV are not blocked.

prolonged period of time

●

This TV will still consume some power even in the Off
mode, as long as the mains plug is still connected.

Do not expose your ears to excessive
volume from the headphones

Network connections

To use only DLNA features, you can operate the features without broadband network environment.
To use VIERA Connect features, you need a broadband network environment.

●

If you do not have any broadband network services, please consult your retailer for assistance.

●

Set up and connect any equipment required for the network environment. You cannot make settings for the
equipment on this TV. Read the manual of the equipment.

●

Required speed (effective): at least 1.5 Mbps for SD and 6 Mbps for HD picture quality, respectively. If the transfer
speed is not enough, contents may not be played back properly.

Example 1

(For DLNA and VIERA Connect)

Using Network Services (DLNA / VIERA Connect)

●

Ensure to use a LAN straight cable for this connection.

●

●

Turn the connected equipment on and then switch the TV on. (p. 71)

There may be red spots, blue spots, green spots and black spots on the screen

●

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 defined as a
good panel. It is not possible to guarantee absolutely no pixel loss.

Problem Causes / Actions

●

To maintain optimum antenna signal quality, use an ‘F’ type TV signal splitter
(as illustrated) when connecting two or more devices to the same antenna
socket.

TV

Connecting devices such
as DTV recorder / PVR /
VCR etc that also require
an antenna connection to
the digital television

DTV Recorder / PVR / VCR

●

Hint: Some degradation of the DTV signal may occur if you are connecting the

aerial through an external device (e.g. DVD Recorder or Set Top Box). In
this case it is better to use a splitter and connect the aerial directly to both
devices.

●

Check to ensure your area is covered by DTV transmissions.

●

Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DTV reception. If

After digital TV tuning, (or
re-tuning) some or all DTV
channels are missing

you live within 5-10 km of DTV transmission towers, a combined VHF / UHF
Digital TV aerial should be adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF
aerials provide superior reception performance.

●

If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the Master Antenna TV
(MATV) system is designed for analogue and DTV reception. Please consult
your body corporate.

Digital TV

●

Electrical interference caused by local or distant lighting storms, heavy rain,
high wind etc. may cause picture to break up and or audio to mute / distort

Picture infrequently
pixelates on some or all
channels

momentarily.

●

Impulse noise interference from an infrequently used electrical appliance, or a
passing vehicle or lawn mower with a “noisy” ignition system.

●

Older style antenna cabling, loose fitting/corroded wall socket connections /
terminals etc.

●

Check [Signal Condition] via TV Setup menu. If [Signal Quality] or [Signal
Strength] is red/orange or constantly changing, check aerial/cable/connections.
If problem persists, consult your local TV antenna installer.

●

Too much signal; is [Signal Strength] always at full strength? If yes, try
attenuating (reducing) the signal strength.

●

Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DTV reception.

●

The received signal may be too weak to allow the TV to reliably lock to the
selected channel to generate a viewable picture. If problem persists, consult

Picture regularly pixelates
on some channels, or ‘No
Signal’ message

your local TV aerial installer.

●

Interference from household appliances (known as impulse noise) such as
light switches, fridges etc. may cause picture break up and / or audio distortion.
Use high quality quad shielded coaxial cable (RG6Q) fly lead between TV and
antenna wall socket to minimise impulse noise pickup. If problem persists,
consult your local TV aerial installer.

●

Antenna installation may be using an aerial amplifier that is faulty or an older
style aerial amplifier that was not designed for digital TV.

●

Older style antenna cabling, loose fitting / corroded wall socket connections /
terminals etc.

●

Turn the TV off with the Mains power On / Off switch, then turn it On again.

Note

Digital TV reception is only as good as the antenna and the antenna cabling delivering the DTV signals to the
television. Reliable digital TV reception requires high quality, robust DTV signals which can only be achieved
when using a TV antenna and cabling designed for digital TV reception.

There is some flexibility around the panel to prevent damage to the panel.

●

The panel might move slightly when it is pushed with a finger, and clattered
sound might be heard. This is not a malfunction.

dirt or fingerprints.

Caution

●

Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface.

●

Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent. Liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.

●

Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may
degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.

●

The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the
surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.

●

Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may
degrade surface quality.

Mains plug

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
