If you have any questions, please call Digital UK on 08456 50 50 50 or visit www.digitaluk.co.uk
Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks. When it starts you will lose all Analogue TV channels and some Digital TV channels will be missing.
You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital channels.
●To retune your TV “Auto Setup” in “DVB Tuning Menu”-DVB mode (p. 34) Users of cable or satellite boxes should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview channels via their aerial. (Your Analogue channel for viewing Cable or Satellite services will change to a new position.)
●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.

100Hz Double Scan
100Hz Double Scan is a function of this TV that reduces large area flicker.
2,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast
A wide contrast ratio will deliver pictures with a deep black level and a brighter white level for greater image depth.

V-Audio Surround
Utilises Panasonic’s advanced digital amplification technology.
Lead-free display
All VIERA plasma display panels are lead-free. This reduces the impact on the environment when recycling or disposing of them in the future.
Up to 100,000 hours Plasma Panel Lifetime
The Plasma display panel used in the 2009 VIERA TV range is rated for up to 100,000 hours.
This measurement is based on the time taken for the brightness of the panel to reduce to half of it’s maximum level.
The time taken to reach this level may vary depending on the image content and the environment where the TV is used.
Image retention and malfunctions are not taken into account.

How to use
In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all manufacturers of digital equipment, some on screen commands may not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.
For example:
●When “select” or “go” is displayed
●When “◄”, “►”, “▲”, “▼” symbol is displayed
●When the key words are displayed on colour bar red green yellow blue
●When options with numbers are displayed

Note |
|
●As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed.
●While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that this is happening.
