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. Wall mounted equipment shall not be grounded by metal within
the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.
To prevent fall and injury, remove TV from its fixed wall position when no longer in use.

Timer Programming
Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to record or remind
watching. At the correct time, the TV will switch on and tune to the correct channel even if the TV is in
Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming
(p. 19).
This function is not available in Analogue mode.
Timer Programming does not work properly if the TV does not acquire the correct time data from the TV signal.
The TV must be either On or in standby for Ext Rec. of Timer Programming.
No other channel can be selected while Ext Rec. of Timer Programming is in progress.
It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).
When recording programmes, 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. 52 and p. 53)
and the “Link Settings” (p. 28) 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. 28) 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.
Recording is possible in composite video via SCART only, including HD content.
2 mins. before the starting time, a reminder message appears if you are watching TV.

“!” identifies that any timer programming events have overlapped. “Ext Rec.” is given priority over “Reminder”. As
for the overlapped two or more “Ext Rec.”, the first timer programming event starts and finishes as programmed.
The next timer programming event can then start.
Ext Rec. of Timer Programming will automatically change to the programmed channel 10 seconds before the start time.
To stop recording the timer programming event directly prior to the start time, it is necessary to stop the recorder manually.
Ext Rec. of Timer Programming will be performed even if the TV is in Pause Live TV recording (p. 55). In this
case, Pause Live TV recording will be cancelled.

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.
