and cause fire.) Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the earth pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.
Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)
Do not use any mains lead other than that provided with this TV. (This may cause fire or
electrical shock.) Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fire or electrical shock.)
Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the 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 onto the mains plug body when disconnecting lead.

through the air vents. (Fire or electrical shock may result.)
Do not place the TV on sloped or unstable surfaces
The TV may fall off or tip over.
Use only the dedicated pedestals / 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 setup. Use approved pedestals (p. 6) / wall-hanging
brackets (p. 7).
Do not allow children to handle SD Card
As with any small object, SD Cards can be
swallowed by young children. Please remove SD Card immediately after use and store out of reach of children.

Important Installation Notices
Install TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support. Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and
supporting furniture. Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.
When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still
connected to a live socket outlet.
Transport only in upright position
Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upward or downward may cause damage to the
internal circuitry.
Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat
When using the pedestal, keep a space between the bottom
of the TV and the surface where the TV is set. In case of using Wall-hanging bracket, follow the manual of it.
Do not block the rear air vents
Blocked ventilation by newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fire or
electrical shock.
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.
The TV is heavy. Handle the TV by 2 or more people.
Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV tipping or falling.
Auto power standby function
The TV will automatically go to Standby mode in the following conditions:
no signal is received and no operation is performed for 30 minutes in Analogue TV mode• “Off Timer” is active (p. 14)• no operation is performed for the period selected in “Auto Standby” (p. 35)
This function does not affect One Touch Recording.
Keep the TV away from these types of equipment
Electronic equipment
In particular, do not place video equipment near the TV. Electromagnetic interference may distort images / sound. Equipment with an infrared sensor
This TV also emits infrared rays. This may affect operation of other equipment.
Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen (“image retention”). This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.

Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself have the risk
of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be absolutely sure to ask your dealer or a licensed contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty. Carefully read the instructions accompanying optional accessories, and be absolutely sure to take
steps to prevent the TV from falling off.
Handle the TV carefully during installation since subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause product damage. 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.

Viewing 3D images
You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes corresponding to the 3D effect by wearing the 3D Eyewear (optional accessory p. 7).
For wearing the 3D Eyewear please read the manual of the 3D Eyewear.
This TV supports “Frame Sequential*1”, “Side by Side*2” and “Top and Bottom*3” 3D formats. *1: The 3D format that the images for the left and right eyes are recorded with the high definition
quality and alternately played back
*2, *3: Other available 3D formats
How to view the 3D images p. 24
To enjoy 3D images safely and comfortably, please read these instructions fully.
3D Eyewear
Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D Eyewear.
Always store the 3D Eyewear in the case provided when not in use.
Be careful of the tips of the frame when putting on the 3D Eyewear.
Be careful not to trap a finger in the hinge section of the 3D Eyewear.
Pay special attention when children are using the 3D Eyewear.
3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than 5 - 6 years old, as a guideline. All children must be fully supervised by parents or guardians who must ensure their safety and health throughout the using 3D Eyewear.
Viewing 3D Content
Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of over-sensitivity to light, heart problems, or have
any other existing medical conditions. Please stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately, if you feel tired, are not feeling well or experience
any other uncomfortable sensation. Take an appropriate break after viewing a 3D movie.
Take a break of between 30 - 60 minutes after viewing 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D
games or computers. Be careful not to strike the TV screen or other people unintentionally. When using the 3D Eyewear
the distance between the user and screen can be misjudged. The 3D Eyewear must only be worn when viewing 3D content.
If you do not look toward the TV screen for a while when viewing 3D images, the 3D Eyewear may
be turned off automatically. If you suffer from any eyesight problems (short / far-sighted, astigmatism, eyesight differences in left
and right), please ensure to correct your vision before using the 3D Eyewear. Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images when viewing 3D content.
Do not use the 3D Eyewear at a distance less than the recommended distance.
The recommended viewing distance is 3 times of image height. TH-P42GT20Z: 1.6 m or more / TH-P46GT20Z: 1.7 m or more When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as movies, view the screen at a distance 3 times further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.)
Basic
Viewing 3D images
23
3D Eyewear Use
Before using the 3D Eyewear, ensure no breakable objects surrounding the user to avoid any
accidental damage or injury. Remove the 3D Eyewear before moving around to avoid falling or accidental injury.
Always put the 3D Eyewear in the case (supplied) after use.
Use the 3D Eyewear only for the intended purpose and nothing else.
Do not use 3D Eyewear in the condition of high temperature.
Do not use if the 3D Eyewear is physically damaged.
Do not use any devices that emit the infrared signals near the 3D Eyewear, as this may cause the
3D Eyewear false operations. Do not use devices (such as mobile phones or personal transceivers) that emit strong
electromagnetic waves near the 3D Eyewear as this may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction. Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if a malfunction or fault occurs.
Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pain, or skin irritation
around the nose or temples. In rare cases, the materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic reaction.
