Safety Precautions

Warning

Handling the mains plug and lead

Insert the mains plug fully in to the socket outlet. (If the mains plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause  fire.) Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible. Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. This may cause an electrical shock. Do not damage the mains lead, damaged lead may cause fire or electrical shock.

Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in to a 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 on to the mains plug body when disconnecting the plug.• Do not use a damaged mains plug or socket outlet.• Ensure TV does not crush the mains lead.•

If you find any abnormality, remove the mains plug immediately!

AC 220-240V 50Hz

Power source

This TV is designed to operate on 220-240V 50Hz  AC.

Do not remove covers and NEVER modify the TV yourself

High voltage components may cause serious  electrical shock, do not remove the rear cover as live parts are accessible when it is removed. There are no user serviceable parts inside. 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 set 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.

Do not expose the TV set to direct sunlight and other sources of heat

Avoid exposing the TV to direct sunlight and other  sources of heat.

To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from this product at all times

Do not place foreign objects inside the TV

Do not allow any objects to drop into the TV through  the air vents as fire or electric shock may result.

Do not place TV on unstable surfaces

The TV may fall or tip over. 

Use only original dedicated pedestal / mounting equipment

Using an unapproved pedestal or other fixtures may  make the TV unstable, risking injury. Be sure to ask your local Panasonic dealer to perform the set up or installation. Use approved pedestals / wall-hanging brackets



(p. 6 – 7).

Do not allow children to handle SD Card or dangerous parts

As with any small object the SD card could be  swallowed by young children. Please remove SD card immediately after use and store out of reach of children. This product contains possibly dangerous parts that



can be breathed in or swallowed by young children accidentally. Keep these parts out of reach of young children.

Page 5

Caution

When cleaning the TV remove the mains plug

Cleaning an energized TV may cause electric shock.

Remove the mains plug from the wall socket when TV is not in use for a 

prolonged period of time

The TV will still consume some power even in the off mode, as long as the mains plug is still connected. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket before connecting or disconnecting leads.

Do Not block the rear air vents

Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of electronic components. Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table  cloths and curtains. We recommend that a gap of at least 10 cm is left all  around this television receiver even when placed inside a cabinet or between shelves. When using the pedestal, keep the space between the



bottom of the TV and the surface where the TV is set. If pedestal is not used, ensure the vents in the bottom of  the TV set are not blocked.

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

Irreversible damage can be caused.

Auto power standby function

If no signal is received and no operation is performed in analogue TV mode for 30 minutes, the TV will  automatically go to standby mode.

Transport TV set in upright position

Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

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.

Caution

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. 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.

WARNING!

Failure to use a Panasonic bracket or choosing to mount the unit yourself will be done at the risk of the  consumer. Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set up. Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to fall, resulting in injury and product damage. Any damage resulting from not having a professional installer mount your unit will void your warranty. When any optional accessories or wall hanging brackets are used, always ensure that the instructions provided



are followed fully. Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights or halogen lights) which typically give off  high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts. Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Wall mounted equipment shall not be grounded by metal within



the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket. To prevent fall and injury, remove TV from its fixed wall position when no longer in use.

Caution

Incorrect installation may cause battery leakage and corrosion, resulting in damage to the remote control. Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace only with same or equivalent type. Do not mix different battery types (such as alkaline and manganese  batteries). Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries. Do not burn or break up batteries. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. Make sure you dispose of batteries correctly. Ensure batteries are replaced correctly, there is danger of explosion and fire if battery is reversed.

Ensure that the TV does not fall over.

If the TV is knocked or children climb onto the pedestal with the TV installed, the TV may fall over and personal



injury may result.

Auto mode

Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen) to determine. This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image. Letterbox detection: If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen. If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

Note

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top  and bottom of the screen may appear. If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the  tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.
