digital, TV region by TV region.
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 programmes and some Digital TV programmes will be missing.
You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital
programmes.
•
To retune your TV “Auto Setup” in “Tuning Menu” (p. 35)
Cable or Satellite users should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview
services via their aerial. (Your Analogue programme 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 programmes.

Quick Start Guide
FULL HD
This TV uses a high defi nition panel to produce high
defi nition pictures close to their original resolution.
Intelligent Frame Creation
This increases the frame count and allows
natural frame-to-frame transitions, for fl icker-less
motion images with high resolution.
100Hz Double Scan
100Hz Double Scan is a function of this TV
that reduces large area fl icker.
30,000:1 Native Contrast
(1,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast)
A wide contrast ratio will deliver pictures with
a deep black level and a brighter white level
for greater image depth.
Digital Cinema Colour
∗
VIERA’s wide colour gamut covers 120 %
of the conventional HDTV colour standard.
The result is a level of colour expression that
approaches Digital Cinema.
∗
VIERA emulates the colour of digital cinema projectors
currently in theatres.
x.v.Colour
“x.v.Colour” is a promotion name given to
the products that have the capability to
realize a wide colour space based on the
xvYCC specifi cations.
“x.v.Colour” is a trademark.
0.001 msec Panel Response Time
Extremely fast response time to minimise picture lag.
24p Real Cinema
The 24p source data of movies is converted
into a video signal with 6 frames/0.1 second.
This produces smoother movie playback.
V-AUDIO Surround
Utilises Panasonic’s advanced Digital Amplifi cation
technology and SRS TruSurround XT.
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 2008 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 DVB equipment, some on screen commands may
not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

•
When “select” or “go” is displayed
•
When “◄”, “►”, “▲”, “▼” symbol is displayed
•

DVB teletext services
DVB teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext.
When you switch to a DVB teletext service, the images you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and
controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster.

If in Analogue mode
Select DVB
2
Note
•
As soon as you switch to a DVB programme with links to a teletext service,
software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a DVB programme, 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 DVB teletext, you will fi nd 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.
You can enjoy news, weather forecasts and subtitles, etc. (depending on the broadcaster)
Displayed if programme has teletext service
•
The availability of teletext services for a programme is indicated by “TXT” in the information banner.
