AC Power Supply Cord
To prevent fire or electric shock:
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC,
60 Hz service. Insert the power cord plug as far as it will
go into the wall socket.
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may generate, which
could cause a fire.
The included power cord is for use with this unit only.
Do not use any power cord other than that provided
with this TV.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
Do not do anything that might damage the power
supply cord.
When disconnecting the power supply cord, hold the
plug, not the cord.
Do not use the power supply cord if the plug or cord is
damaged.
Replace the cord or contact your Authorized Service Center.
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong AC plug adapters to
connect your TV’s plug to the wall outlet.
Doing so will defeat the TV plug’s safety feature, which
can lead to a shock hazard. If the wall outlet does not
accommodate a 3-prong plug, have a qualified electrician
replace your outlet and check the associated wiring.
Handling the power supply cord
In
se
rt the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the
power plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.)
Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely
connected to prevent electrical shock.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be
connected to a power socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This may
cause electrical shock.)
Do not use any power cord other than that provided
with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.)
Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord may
cause fire or electrical shock.)
Do not move the TV with the cord plugged in the socket outlet.
Do not place a heavy object on the cord or place the cord
near a high-temperature object.
Do not twist the cord, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power plug body
when disconnecting cord.
Do not use a damaged power plug or socket outlet.
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound),
or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the
Plasma TV, unplug the power supply cord immediately.
Continued use of the TV under these conditions might
cause a fire or permanent damage to the TV. Have the TV
evaluated by an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the
TV by unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due
to its high voltage.
If water or an object gets inside the Plasma TV, if the
Plasma TV is dropped, or if the enclosure becomes
damaged, unplug the power supply cord immediately.
A short-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire. Contact
an Authorized Service Center for an evaluation.
CAUTION
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can
cause a fire or damage to the Plasma TV.
Leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top,
left and right, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear.
When using the pedestal, keep the space between the
bottom of the TV and the pedestal or stand surface
clear from objects that may obstruct ventilation.
When Moving the Plasma TV
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the
Plasma TV.
Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the
cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.
To prevent an electric shock, disconnect the power
plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before
carrying out any cleaning.
Transport only in upright position.
Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or
downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
Using a dry cloth, clean any dust from the power supply
cord and plug regularly.
Build-up of dust on the power cord plug can increase
humidity, which might damage the insulation and cause a
fire.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays;
therefore, it may affect other infrared communication
equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from
direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the
power supply cord is connected to the wall outlet.
Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong
force or impact to the display panel.
This may cause damage resulting in injury.
The TV is heavy. TV should be handled by 2 or more
people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV
tipping or falling.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range.
FCC and IC require this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful
interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz
and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this product.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe.
Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.
Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological
effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
Product Identification Marking is located on the bottom of the Wireless LAN Adapter.

Using Precautions
Liquid Crystal Shutter
Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. Also, do not drop or bend the 3D Eyewear.
Do not scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter with a pointed instrument etc.
Doing so may cause damage to the 3D Eyewear, and reduce the quality of the 3D image.
Infra-red receiver section
Do not soil the infra-red receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it.
Doing so may prevent the receiver from receiving signals from the television, which may prevent the 3D Eyewear from operating normally.
If the 3D Eyewear is affected by other infra-red data communication equipment, the 3D images may not be displayed correctly.
Cautions During Viewing
Do not expose the infra-red receiver section to strong light such as direct sunlight and fluorescent light. The 3D image
may not be displayed correctly.
Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cellular phones or personal transceivers) near
the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
The 3D Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low temperatures.
Please use within the specified usage temperature range (p. 67).
If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz) are used, the light within the room may appear
to be flickering. In this case, either darken or switch off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D Eyewear.
Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or back-to-front.
Other kinds of displays (such as computer screens, digital clocks, or calculators etc.) may be difficult to see while
wearing the 3D Eyewear. (The polarizing axis does not match, causing the displays to appear black.)
Do not wear the 3D Eyewear when watching anything other than 3D images.
Individual differences may occur in which the 3D images are difficult to see, or cannot be seen, especially in users that have a different
level of eyesight between the left and right eyes. Take the necessary steps (wearing glasses etc.) to correct your eyesight before use.
For comfortable viewing
View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effective height of the screen.
Recommended distance:
For a 55-inch television, 6’8” (2.1 m) or more.
For a 65-inch television, 7’10” (2.4 m) or more.
Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance may cause eyesight fatigue.
When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as during some 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
distance.)
Viewing 3D images
When watching 3D movies, take an appropriate length break after watching a movie.
When watching 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or computers, take an appropriate length break
after using for 30 - 60 minutes. Prolonged use may cause eyesight fatigue.
Viewing 3D images
Using the television menu controls, set so that 3D images are shown.
You can watch 3D images in the following cases:
When a 3D image supporting Blu-ray Disc is played on a 3D image supporting player/recorder connected using a
HDMI cable to a 3D image supporting television.
3D image supported broadcast (program)
3D Photo, 3D Movie taken by LUMIX/Camcorder.
2D->3D (Simulated 3D) p. 58

If you connect equipment that has “HDAVI Control 2 or later” function to the TV with an HDMI cable, the sound from the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal can be output as multi-channel surround.
“HDAVI Control 5” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2010) for the HDAVI Control compatible equipment.
This standard is compatible with the conventional HDAVI equipment.
HDMI connection
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting
the TV unit and HD devices.
HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a Cable or Satellite box or a DVD player, can be
connected to the HDMI connector using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
HDMI is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (*2).
When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.
Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI 1 in”, “HDMI 2 in”, “HDMI 3 in” or “HDMI 4 in” menu screen. (p. 53)
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
(*1): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant device.
(*2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
Caution
Use with a PC is not assumed.
All signals are reformatted before being displayed on the screen.
If the connected device has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.
These HDMI connectors are “type A”.
These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection.
A device having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”, or “VIDEO” to
receive analog signals.
The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.
Match the output setting of the digital device.
For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 60.

You can enjoy your Home theater by connecting a Dolby Digital (5.1 channel) decoder and “Multi Channel” amplifier to the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals.
Caution
Depending on your DVD player and DVD-Audio software the copyright protection function may operate and disable optical
output.
When an ATSC channel is selected, the output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack will be Dolby Digital. When an NTSC
channel is selected, the output will be PCM.
When playing a movie on SD Card Movie player, when the sound has been recorded in Dolby Digital, the output from the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal will be Dolby Digital. When the sound is recorded in other formats, the output will be PCM.
Closed Caption (CC)
For viewing the CC of digital broadcasting, set the aspect to FULL (If viewing with H-FILL, JUST, ZOOM or 4:3;
characters might be cut off).
The CC can be displayed on the TV only when the receiver (such as a Cable box or satellite receiver) has the CC set
to ON within the device itself. Check with your Cable or Satellite provider for instructions. The TV’s CC button does not
operate the Satellite or Cable box’s CC function.
If the CC is set to On on both the receiver and TV when the signal is 480i (except for the HDMI connection), the CC
may overlap on the TV.
If a digital program is being output in analog format, the CC data will also be output in analog format.
If the recorder or output monitor is connected to the TV, the CC needs to be set up on the recorder or output monitor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Disposal
How do I view the picture from
devices such as a: Cable/Satellite
box, game console, Blu-ray or
DVD player?
Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the correct
input source.
Check that the device is turned on and functioning correctly.
Why is there no picture or just a
blue, black or snowy screen being
displayed?
Check if the power cord is plugged in and the TV is turned on
(front red LED light should be on; not blinking)
Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the correct
input source.
Ensure all connections are correct and secure.
When using external video source, such as a Cable/Satellite
box or DVD player, check that the device is on and functioning
correctly.
Press MENU on the TV’s remote control. If the menu is
displayed, then the TV is working; recheck above steps.
Why doesn’t the picture look like
it is in High Definition?
Press the INFO button on the remote to confirm the type of signal
being received (p. 19). HD signal should be 720P, 1080i or 1080p.
Select a High Definition channel from your HD source (Cable,
Satellite or fiber optic service). HD channels sometimes
broadcast non-HD content.
Ensure that your HD source (HD box, Blu-ray player, etc.) is
connected to the TV with an HDMI or Component cable and
set to output an HD video signal.
Why do black bars appear on the
top and bottom and/or sides of
the screen?
Change the format (aspect ratio) of the picture by pressing the
FORMAT button on the remote control. (p. 20)
Check the aspect settings on your external video source, such
as Cable/Satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray Disc player, etc.
Note: Some content, such as film-based movies, are
available in extra-wide format. Top and bottom bars are
unavoidable.
Why is the picture snowy when
“ANT/Cable in” is selected?
When using a cable service (without a box), check that all
connections are secure.
When using a cable or satellite box, change the connection
(wiring) to Composite, Component or HDMI. (p. 12)
If you’re using an antenna, then check that connections are
secure. Change the position or direction of the antenna and
check the “Signal meter”. (p. 49)
Why is the picture chaotic and/
or torn and/or with a buzz in the
speakers?
Check if electrical products such as kitchen appliances,
fluorescent lights or light dimmers are nearby. They may
interfere with the TV’s picture.
Try viewing a picture from another device, such as a DVD player
or a game console, to narrow down the source of the problem.
Why is there a black box on the
screen?
Change settings of Closed Caption (CC). (p. 19, 54)
Why is the screen blank and the
power indicator blinking?
The TV has gone into shutdown mode to protect itself. Try
unplugging it for a few minutes and connecting it again. If
there was a temporary power surge on the AC line it may now
be OK. If the blinking returns, call 1-877-95VIERA (U.S.A.) or
1-866-330-0014 (Canada).
Why do some small spots on the
screen remain bright or dark?
The Plasma panel is made up of a few million pixels and
is produced with advanced technology through an intricate
process. Sometimes a few pixels may be bright or dark. These
pixels do not indicate a defective panel and will have no impact
on the performance of the TV.
