■Set up

This Plasma TV may fall and can cause personal injury or

even death if not installed correctly. To prevent personal

injury or death, follow these warnings:

●

Install the Plasma TV in accordance with the

manufacturer’s recommended pedestal or stand,

corresponding hardware and installation instructions.

This Plasma TV is for use only with the following

optional accessories. Use with any other type of optional

accessories may cause instability. The following accessories

are manufactured by Panasonic Corporation.

• Wall-hanging bracket (Angled)

TY-WK4P1RW

●

Be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out the

installation and set-up.

Two or more people are required to install or remove the

television.

●

Some wall mounts (wall-hanging brackets) are not

designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old

cinder block constructions.

Ask your dealer or licensed contractor to properly secure

the wall-hanging bracket.

●

Do not route the TV’s power cord inside the wall.

The power cord was not designed for in-wall mounting.

Doing so can lead to fire hazard.

●

Do not place the Plasma TV or its stand on a sloped or

unstable surface.

The Plasma TV may fall or tip over.

●

Do not support the Plasma TV on a non-specified

pedestal.

●

Do not place the Plasma TV on furniture that can easily

be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

●

Do not climb or allow children to climb on the Plasma TV

●

Place or install the Plasma TV where it cannot be

pushed, pulled over or knocked down.

●

Route all cords and cables such that they cannot be

tripped over or pulled by curious children.

●

Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV.

If water spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get

inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in

fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the

Plasma TV, please consult an Authorized Service Center.

In the unlikely event that you receive a shock from this

product it is possible that your household outlet may be

wired improperly. Have an electrician verify that the TV’s

outlet is properly wired. If the symptom persists, have the

TV serviced by a qualified authorized technician.

●

To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles

or other open flames away from this

product at all times

■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

●

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.

proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and

television sets.

• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be

used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can become excited while watching

a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel

displays. Care should be taken to install the display where it

cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables

connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be

pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT

YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display

manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory

(such as UL, CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall

mount manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely

install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about

professional installation.

■About wireless LAN

●

Wireless LAN adapter and Access point need to be obtained separately.

For the latest information on applicable LAN adapters, check the following website:

http://Panasonic.com/NetConnect

●

Check that the Access point supports WPS*.

(If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the Access point is required when

configuring settings.)

●

Follow the instructions on the Access point setup screen and configure the appropriate

security settings.

For more details on setting of Access point, please refer to operating manual for the Access

point.

●

We recommend using 11n (5 GHz) for the wireless system between the wireless

LAN adapter and Access point.

Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 11g (2.4 GHz), but the

communication speed may be slower.

●

If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, devices that could connect by

wireless LAN may no longer be able to connect.

●

When EASY IPTV, Network camera, DLNA, or other device is using the network, do

not disconnect the wireless LAN adapter.

●

Keep the TV away from the following devices as much as possible:

Wireless LAN, microwaves, and other devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals.

Otherwise, the TV failures such as malfunction may occur due to the radio wave

interference.

The above signals are reformatted for optimal viewing on your display.

Care and Cleaning

First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Display panel

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-

free cloth.

●

If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted

by 100 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the

display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.

●

Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile

substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

Cabinet

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

●

If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cloth dry.

Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

●

Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma TV.

If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.

●

Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet surface

may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off.

●

Do not let articles made from rubber or PVC be in contact with the TV for long periods of time.

Pedestal

●

Cleaning

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small

amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.

Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface coating. (If

using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)

●

Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term contact with

rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If there is a problem with your TV, please refer to the table below to determine the symptoms, then carry out the

suggested check. If this does not solve the problem, visit the Panasonic web site for further assistance. (see cover)

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. 17). 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. 18)

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. 11)

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. 43)

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. 17, 47)

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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Questions Answers

Sound Other

Why is there no sound coming

from the TV?

Make sure the volume is up and MUTE is off.

Confirm the TV speakers are set to ON by pressing MENU

and selecting “Audio” --> “Advanced audio”. (p. 46)

Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is

selected by pressing the SAP button on the remote control. (p. 17)

If the TV is connected to a Panasonic Home Theater via HDMI

cable, then check VIERA Link controls. (p. 33)

If the TV is connected to a Home Theater via optical cable,

then: Check the connection, the audio system is on, the

correct input is selected.

Check “HDMI 1 in”, “HDMI 2 in” or “HDMI 3 in” analog/

digital audio settings. (p. 46)

Why is the sound unusual,

distorted, low volume or in

another language?

Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is

selected by pressing the SAP button on the remote control.

Check that all connections of external equipment

connected to the TV are secure.

When using Cable or Satellite box, check the device’s audio

settings. (example: try changing the box’s Audio Range to ‘narrow’)

Why is there a clicking, ticking

or buzzing sound coming from

the TV unit?

When TV power is turned on or shut off there are electrical

components that make a click sound. This is normal operation.

Changes in the temperature and humidity of the room may

cause thermal expansion and contraction that can produce

sounds. This is not a sign of faulty operation or a malfunction.

What is the easiest and best

way to connect a High-Definition

Cable or Satellite box to the TV?

Use an HDMI cable. It carries both digital video and audio

signal in HD. HDMI cable is the only cable needed to

connect an HD device to the TV.

Why does the CC button not

display Closed Caption?

When viewing TV via an HDMI connected device, such as

a Cable or Satellite box, CC must be enabled at the device.

Closed Caption is available only at supported TV programming.

Why does the screen and back

cover of the TV get warm?

The main unit radiates heat and some of the parts may

become hot. This is normal operation and does not affect

the performance of the set.

Ensure good ventilation.

Do not block the ventilation holes of the TV and do not

place the TV on top of other equipment.

Why doesn’t the Remote

Control work?

Check that the batteries are fresh, are of the same type

and are installed with the correct polarity (+ & -).

To operate other devices, such as changing channels when

using Cable or Satellite boxes or operating non-Panasonic

Blu-ray players, use the remote supplied with the device.

Why is the “ANT/Cable” option

at the top of the “Input select”

menu gray-out and cannot be

selected?

During “First time setup”, you indicated in step - that

you are using Cable or Satellite box and in step - b that

the box is connected to one of the TV’s AV inputs. In this

case, the Antenna/Cable input is deactivated to prevent

unintentional switching into unused tuner. To re-activate,

press MENU, select SETUP and repeat “First time setup”.

Some menu items are grayed-

out and cannot be selected.

Why?

Depending on certain modes or the selected input, some

options are not available. For example, Zoom adjustments are

only available when the FORMAT is changed to zoom mode.

Questions Answers

Networking

How do I get EASY IPTV to work

on my TV?

1. You need a broadband (high speed) Internet service with a

speed of no less than 1.5 Mbps (p. 35).

2. Connect the TV to the Internet through your router by an

Ethernet cable or a compatible Panasonic USB wireless

adapter.

3. Run the “Connections Test”, under the Network Settings

menu.

If Connection test fails, then check with your Internet

service provider or router/modem manufacturer if there are

firewall, content filter or proxy settings that may block the

TV from accessing the Internet.

How do I check for the latest

software (firmware) version for

my TV?

In the main menu, select “Setup”. Highlight “Network

Settings” and press OK. Select “Software Update”. The

current version and latest version software will be shown. If

software update is “grayed out”, the TV is not connected to

the Internet. If newer version is available, update your TV.

Follow the on-screen instructions, do not power off the TV

until the update is complete. Be patient; firmware update

may take a while.

Can I use any USB WiFi adapter

to connect the TV to my

wireless network?

The TV’s internal software was designed to work with

Panasonic’s wireless adapter model DY-WL10*. Check

www.panasonic.com/NetConnect for updated information.

How do I reset my TV to all

factory defaults and settings?

In the main menu, select “Setup”. Highlight “Reset to

Defaults” and press OK. Enter your password (if created

earlier) or create a temporary new password. Select Yes to

reset the TV.

* Model number is subject to change without notice.
