Digital Switchover for Terrestrial broadcasts

Starting in late 2007 and ending in 2012, TV services in the UK will go completely 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 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. 35)

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.

FULL HD

This TV uses a high definition panel to produce high definition pictures close to their original resolution.

Neo PDP

Realizes high picture quality and energy efficient panel.

VIERA TOUGH PANEL

A front panel increases the durability of the plasma display. This protects against accidental impacts to the screen surface, and also makes cleaning easier.

Intelligent Frame Creation

This increases the frame count and allows natural frame-to-frame transitions, for flicker-less motion images with high resolution.

Over 2,000,000:1 INFINITE BLACK

A wide contrast ratio will deliver pictures with a deep black level and a brighter white level for greater image depth.

0.001 msec Panel Response Time

Extremely fast response time to minimise picture lag.

Eco Mode

Adjusts picture settings automatically dependent on ambient lighting conditions.

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.

digital tick

The digital tick logo indicates that a digital tuner is built-in.

Freeview

Freeview is the way to enjoy digital TV for free. There are up to 48 digital TV channels.
