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

Timer Programming

Timer Programming from Menu

The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching
or record to the external recorder or the USB HDD. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct
channel even if the TV is in Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event

This function is not available in Analogue mode.●
Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.●
Timer Programming only works reliably if correct time information is received via the signal from the broadcaster ●
or service provider.
For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be displayed, ●
the TV must be On.
No other channel can be selected while the recording of Timer Programming is in progress.●
It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).●
When recording programmes to the external recorder, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder ●
connected to the TV.
If a compatible recorder with Q-Link, VIERA Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 78 and p. 79)
and the “Link Settings” (p. 30) are completed, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the
recorder.
If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link, VIERA Link or similar technologies, set “Q-Link” in the Setup Menu ●
(p. 30) to the connected terminal (AV1 or AV2), and make timer programming of the recorder. For preparations of
a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.
When recording programmes to the USB HDD, be sure to register the USB HDD and enable it for recording in the ●
“USB HDD Setup” (p. 54).
Recordings are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original programme is in ●
high definition.
2 mins. before the starting time, a reminder message appears if you are watching TV.●

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 (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
game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 84).

occurs in Analogue mode /
Some channels cannot be
tuned

Keep the space between the TV and RF cable.●
Check the position, direction and connection of ●

the aerial or dish.

Check “Signal Condition” (p. 41). If “Signal ●

Quality” is displayed in red, the DVB signal is
weak.

Weather conditions will affect signal reception ●

(heavy rain, snow, etc.), in particular in poor
reception areas. Even during good weather,
the high pressure can cause poor reception of
some channels.

Due to the digital reception technologies ●

involved, quality of the digital signals may be
relatively low in some cases, despite good
reception of analogue channels.

Turn the TV off with the Mains power On / Off ●

switch, and then on again.

If problem persists, consult your local dealer or ●

service provider for the availability of services.
