CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover or back. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Note to CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to direct the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Secure ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the LCD TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. There should be at least 10 cm of space from these openings. The openings should never be blocked by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This LCD TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
Important Safety Instructions for LCD TV
is intended to tell the user that parts inside the product are a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to tell the user that important operating and servicing instructions are in the papers with the appliance.
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart / apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15) Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home consult your television dealer or local power company.
16) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD TV.
17) Never push objects of any kind into this LCD TV through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the LCD TV.
18) If an outside antenna is connected to the tele vi sion equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charg es. In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re quire ments for the grounding electrode.

controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the LCD
TV to normal operation. e. If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. f. When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
21) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
22) WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE. DO NOT PLACE LIQUID CONTAINERS (FLOWER VASES, CUPS, COSMETICS, ETC.) ABOVE THE SET. (INCLUDING ON SHELVES ABOVE, ETC.)
23) WARNING : SMALL PARTS CAN PRESENT CHOKING HAZARD IF ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED. KEEP SMALL
PARTS AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN. DISCARD UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER OBJECTS, INCLUDING PACKAGING MATERIALS AND PLASTIC BAGS/SHEETS TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING PLAYED WITH BY YOUNG CHILDREN, CREATING THE POTENTIAL RISK OF SUFFOCATION.
24) CAUTION : TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET
UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EX PO SURE.
25) CAUTION : USE WITH OTHER STAND MAY RESULT IN INSTABILITY POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY.

Control with HDMI “HDAVI Control”
Newer Panasonic audio-video products with HDMI output connections can be controlled using the TV’s remote. Limited features such as automatic switching to the TV’s HDMI input are available.
This feature is limited to models incorporating Panasonic’s “Control with HDMI”. Refer to the models listed on page
22 or the individual instruction manuals for compatibility information. Depending on the cable used, this function may not be possible.
Automatic input switching
Power on link
Power off link
Note
Before using HDMI control functions, the connected equipment (DIGA) must also be set. For details, see the
operation manual for each equipment. For equipment connection details, see p. 22.
Default setting is “On”. If no HDMI equipments are connected or standard HDMI (non- “Control with HDMI”) are
used, set to “Off”. (see below)
When “Ctrl with HDMI” is set to “On”, at the start of DIGA playback, TV input automatically switches to the input compatible with playback equipment.
If using DIGA operation and the DIGA menu is displayed, the TV input automatically
switches to DIGA. If TV power is Off, it switches On.
When “Ctrl with HDMI” is set to “On”, the TV is automatically turned on and switched to the appropriate HDMI input whenever a “Control with HDMI” compatible DIGA (Panasonic DVD Recorder) is initially turned on and Play mode is selected.
When “Ctrl with HDMI” is set to “On” and the TV is turned off, the connected DIGA (Panasonic DVD Recorder) is also automatically turned off.
DIGA (Panasonic DVD Recorder) will not turn off if it is still in rec mode.

Precaución
La instalación mal hecha puede causar fugas de electrolito y
corrosión, lo que podría dañar el mando a distancia.
No mezcle pilas viejas y nuevas.
No mezcle pilas de tipos diferentes (pilas alcalinas y de
manganeso, por ejemplo). No utilice baterías (Ni-Cd).
No queme ni rompa las pilas.
Anote los códigos de mando a distancia antes de cambiar las
pilas en el caso de que tenga que restablecer los códigos. (págs. 37-38)
Accesorio opcional
ADVERTENCIA
No utilizar una ménsula de Panasonic ó montar la unidad usted
mismo puede ser la causa de que el consumidor corra riesgos. Cualquier daño que resulte de no haber sido un instalador profesional quien montó su unidad anulará su garantía. Asegúrese de pedir siempre a un técnico calificado que lleve a
cabo la instalación. Una instalación incorrecta podría ser la causa de que el equipo cayera, causando lesiones a personas y daños en el producto. No monte el televisor LCD directamente debajo de las luces
del techo (luces direccionales, reflectores ó luces halógenas) que producen típicamente mucho calor. De lo contrario podrían deformarse ó dañarse las piezas de plástico de la caja.

La utilización de algún tipo de iluminación fluorescente puede reducir el alcance del transmisor del mando a distancia. La ventilación adecuada es esencial para impedir el fallo de los componentes internos. Manténgase alejado de las áreas donde el calor o la humedad sea excesivo.
