Warning

●

Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself
pose the risk of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the

Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure that there are no
electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.

●

To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no

DLNA

This TV is a DLNA Certified™ product.
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard that makes DLNA Certified digital electronics easier
and more convenient to use on a home network. To learn more, visit www.dlna.org.
It allows you to share photos, videos and music stored in a DLNA Certified media server (for example,
PC with Windows 7 installed (with suitable CODEC pack plug-in), DIGA Recorder, etc.) connected to
your home network, and enjoy them on the TV.

Supported file format

Media server

Ensure the connected equipment is a DLNA Certified media server.
To use a PC, install the server software on the PC for obtaining a media server.
Store photos, videos or music into the media server, and then you can watch them on the TV.
“TwonkyMedia server 6” and “Windows 7” are the server software that has been tested to work with this
TV (current as of January, 2011).
For installing, read the manual of the server software.

●

The DLNA control function of Windows 7 is not supported with this TV.

●

When a server software for the media server is installed on the PC, the data may be at risk of being
accessed by other people. Please take care of the settings and connections under the network

circumstances at the office, hotel or even at home when not using a router.
By connecting a DLNA compatible DIGA Recorder to your home network, you can enjoy and control it
as one of the media servers.

●

For details, read the manual of the DIGA Recorder.

VIERA Link Functions

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control™”

Enjoy additional HDMI interoperability with Panasonic products which have “HDAVI Control” function.
This TV supports “HDAVI Control 5” function.
Connections to equipment with HDMI cable such as a DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player
theatre, Amplifier, etc., allow you to interface to them automatically.
These features are limited to models incorporating “HDAVI Control” and “VIERA Link”.

●

Some functions are not available depending on the equipment’s version of HDAVI Control. Please
confirm the connected equipment’s version of HDAVI Control.

●

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”, based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an industry
standard known as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), is a unique function that we have
developed and added. As such, its operation with other manufacturers’ equipment that supports HDMI
CEC cannot be guaranteed.

●

Please refer to individual manuals for the external equipment. About applicable Panasonic equipment,
consult your local Panasonic dealer.
