WARNING!
Failure to use a Panasonic bracket or choosing to mount the unit yourself will be done at the risk of the
consumer. Any damage resulting from not having a professional installer mount your unit will void your warranty.
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.
Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights 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. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in
the wall before hanging bracket.

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.

HDMI connection
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying
with a non-compression standard.
HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality 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 or a DVD player, can
be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 54).
Applicable HDMI features
Input audio signal : 2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz)
Input video signal : 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p
“Input signal that can be displayed” (p. 60)
Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
Input PC signal : “Input signal that can be displayed” (p. 60)
Match the output setting of the PC.
VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 4) :
“VIERA Link” (p. 49)
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
COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals / HDMI3: use AV3 audio terminals).
Note
Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 3 Input” in the Sound Menu. (p. 27)
HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only.
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.
(1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
(2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
PC connection
A PC may be connected to this TV so that the PC screen is displayed and sound is heard from the TV.
PC signals that can be inputted: Horizontal scanning frequency 31 to 69 kHz; vertical scanning frequency
59 to 86 Hz (more than 1,024 signal lines could result in incorrect display of the image).
A PC adapter is not necessary for the DOS/V-compliant D-sub 15-pin connector.
Note
Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.
When using PC, set the colour display quality of PC to the highest position.
