Safety Precautions

Warning

Handling the mains plug and lead

Insert the mains plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the mains plug is loose, it could generate heat



and cause fire.)
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.



Ensure the earth pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.



Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)



Do not use any mains lead other than that provided with this TV. (This may cause fire or



electrical shock.)
Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fire or electrical shock.)



• Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the socket outlet.

• Do not place a heavy object on the lead or place the lead near a high-temperature object.

• Do not twist the lead, bend it excessively, or stretch it.

• Do not pull on the lead. Hold onto the mains plug body when disconnecting lead.

are no user serviceable parts inside. (High­voltage components may cause serious
electrical shock.)
Have the TV checked, adjusted, or repaired



at your local Panasonic dealer.

Do not expose to rain or excessive
moisture

To prevent damage which might result in



electric shock or fire, do not expose this TV
to rain or excessive moisture. This TV must
not be exposed to dripping or splashing
water and objects filled with liquid, such as
vases, must not be placed on top of or above
the TV.

Important Installation Notices

■

Install 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 television 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 energized TV may cause electrical shock.



■

When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug

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



connected to a live socket outlet.

■

Transport only in upright position

Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upward or downward may cause damage to the



internal circuitry.

■

Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat

10

10

Minimum distance

■

Do not block the rear air vents

Blocked ventilation by newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fire or



electrical shock.

■

Do not apply strong force or impact to the display panel

This may cause damage resulting in injury.



■

Do not expose your ears to excessive volume from the headphones

Holes for wall-hanging
bracket installation

Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself have the risk



of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be
absolutely sure to ask your dealer or a licensed contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any
damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.
Carefully read the instructions accompanying optional accessories, and be absolutely sure to take



steps to prevent the TV from falling off.
Handle the TV carefully during installation since subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause



product damage.
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.

Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

For regular care:

Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt
or fingerprints.

For stubborn dirt:

Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water).
Then wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

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



Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent. A 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.

Pixel Statement

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.

Change the setting of “P-NR” in the Picture Menu (to remove



noise). (p. 25)
Check nearby electrical products (car, motorcycle,



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.

Further reading please visit: http://www.digitalready.gov.au/publications.aspx where you can



download ‘The Digital TV Antenna Systems for Homes Handbook’ information pdf file.
For your safety, the antenna and cabling should be inspected / installed by a licenced installer



that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1 for Domestic installations or AS1367
for MATV installations.

as DTV recorder / PVR /



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.

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 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.

picture. If problem persists consult 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

Situate the TV away from sunshine or other sources of



bright light not to shine on the TV’s remote control signal
receiver.

Even when the temperature of parts of the front, top and
