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.

●

In case of using Wall-hanging bracket, follow the manual of it.

VIERA Link “ Control

”

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.

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