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

VIERA Link “ Control
TM
”
Enjoy additional HDMI interoperability with Panasonic products which have “HDAVI Control” function.
This TV supports “HDAVI Control 4” function.
Connections to the equipment (DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player theatre, Amplifier, etc.) with
HDMI cable allow you to interface 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 equipments. About applicable Panasonic equipment, consult your local
Panasonic dealer.

HDMI Functions
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and highquality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment (∗1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box, a DVD
player or a game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully
wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 42).
Note
HDMI is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
●
Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 3 Input” menu screen. (p. 23)
Use with a PC is not guaranteed. Only HDMI video formats in the HDMI table (p. 47) are applicable.
●
If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.
●
These HDMI connectors are “type A”.
●
These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright
●
protection.
An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”,
●
“S-VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals.
The HDMI input terminal can be used only with the following image signals:
●
480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 47.
●
DVI connection
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 / 3 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter
●
cable (∗2).
●
When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (HDMI1: use
AV2 IN AUDIO terminals / HDMI3: use AV3 IN AUDIO terminals).
