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.

Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the earth pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
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.)

Attaching the pedestal
Warning
Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.
Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Caution
Do not use any other TV and displays.

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”, based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an industry standard
known as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), is a unique function that we have developed and added.
As such, its operation with other manufacturers’ equipment that supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.
Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment supporting VIERA Link function.
About applicable Panasonic equipment, consult your local Panasonic dealer.

Set Standby Power Save “On” in the Setup Menu to use this function
“Standby Power Save” (p. 28)
The power consumption in Standby mode of the connected equipment is controlled higher or lower in
synchronization with the TV On / Off state to reduce the consumption.
When the TV is set to Standby mode, the connected equipment is automatically set to Standby and the power
consumption in Standby mode of the connected equipment is automatically minimized.
When the TV is turned on, the connected equipment is still in Standby mode, but the power consumption is
increased to make startup time early.
This function is effective if the connected equipment can change the power consumption in Standby mode
and is set to higher consumption.
This function will work when “Power off Link” is set to “On”.

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.

HDMI connection
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying
with a non-compression standard.
HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV and the
equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment (1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can
be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 54).
Applicable HDMI features
Input audio signal : 2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz)
Input video signal : 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p
“Input signal that can be displayed” (p. 60)

Match the output setting of the PC.
VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 4) : “VIERA Link” (p. 49)
x.v.Colour™
DVI connection
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 / 3 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 (HDMI1: use
COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals / HDMI3: use AV3 audio terminals).
Note
Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 3 Input” in the Sound Menu. (p. 27)
HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only.
If the connected equipment 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.
An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”,
“S-VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals.
This TV incorporates HDMI™ (Version 1.3a with x.v.Colour™) technology.
(
1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
(
2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
PC connection
A PC may be connected to this TV so that the PC screen is displayed and sound is heard from the TV.
PC signals that can be inputted: Horizontal scanning frequency 31 to 69 kHz; vertical scanning frequency
59 to 86 Hz (more than 1,024 signal lines could result in incorrect display of the image).
A PC adapter is not necessary for the DOS/V-compliant D-sub 15-pin connector.
Note
Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.
When using PC, set the colour display quality of PC to the highest position.
