Important Installation Notices
Install the TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable
location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by
taking simple precautions such as:
●
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the
manufacturer of the television.
●
Only using furniture that can safely support the
television.
●
Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of
the supporting furniture.
●
Not placing the televisions on tall furniture (for example,
cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the television to a suitable support.
●
Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials
placed between the television and supporting furniture.
●
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on
furniture to reach the television or its controls.
When cleaning the TV, remove the mains
plug
●
Cleaning an energised TV may cause electric shock.
Remove the mains plug from the wall
socket when the TV is not in use for a
prolonged period of time
●
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off
mode, as long as the mains plug is still connected.
Do not expose your ears to excessive
volume from the headphones
●
Irreversible damage can be caused.
Do not apply strong force or impact to the
display panel
●
This may cause damage resulting in injury.
Do not block the rear air vents
●
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of
electronic components.
●
Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items such as newspapers,
table cloths and curtains.
●
We recommend that a gap of at least 10 cm is left all
around this
TV even when placed inside a cabinet or
between shelves.
●
When using the pedestal, keep the space between the
bottom of the TV and the surface where the TV is set.
●
If pedestal is not used, ensure the vents in the bottom of
the TV are not blocked.

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 the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.

This TV is a DLNA Certified™ product.
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard that makes DLNA Certified digital electronics easier and more
convenient to use on a home network. To learn more, visit www.dlna.org.
It allows you to share photos, videos and music stored in a DLNA Certified media server (for example, PC with
Windows 7 installed (with suitable CODEC pack plug-in), DIGA Recorder, etc.) connected to your home network, and
enjoy them on the TV.
Supported file format (p. 64 - 65)
Media server
Ensure a connected equipment is a DLNA Certified media server.
To use a PC, install the server software on the PC for obtaining a media server.
Store photos, videos or music into the media server, and then you can enjoy them on the TV.
“TwonkyMedia Server 6”, “Mezzmo” and “Windows 7” (with Shark007 CODEC plug-in) are the media server software
used for TV playback testing (current as of January, 2011).
For installing, read the manual of the server software.
●
The DLNA control function of Windows 7 is not supported with this TV.
●
When a server software for the media server is installed on the PC, the data may be at risk of being accessed by
other people. Please take care of the settings and connections under the network circumstances at the office, hotel or
even at home when not using a router.
By connecting a DLNA compatible DIGA Recorder to your home network, you can enjoy and control it as one of the
media servers.

(p. 54)
There may be red spots, blue spots, green spots and black spots on the screen
●
An image on a LCD or Plasma TV screen is created by many small groups of dots known as pixels (which is
similar to the image in a newspaper). It also naturally follows that higher panel resolutions contain more pixels.
T
o create a colour image, each pixel consists of three tiny coloured dots (known as sub-pixels), one each of red,
green and blue. Each one of these dots is precisely controlled by the electronics of the TV to produce the picture.
Whilst Panasonic maintains the highest standards in manufacturing technology and processes in the construction
of these panels, there are a number of allowable pixel/subpixel failures that still allow the panel to be defined as a
good panel. It is not possible to guarantee absolutely no pixel loss.

●
Hint: Some degradation of the DTV signal may occur if you are connecting the
aerial through an external device (e.g. DVD Recorder or Set
Top Box). In
this case it is better to use a splitter and connect the aerial directly to both
devices.
After digital TV tuning, (or
re-tuning) some or all DTV
channels are missing
●
Check to ensure your area is covered by DTV transmissions.
●
Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DTV reception. If
you live within 5-10 km of DTV transmission towers, a combined VHF / UHF
Digital
TV aerial should be adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF
aerials provide superior reception performance.
●
If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the Master Antenna TV
(MA
TV) system is designed for analogue and DTV reception. Please consult
your body corporate.

Problem Causes / Actions
Digital TV
Picture regularly pixelates
on some channels, or ‘No
Signal’ message
●
Check [Signal Condition] via TV Setup menu. If [Signal Quality] or [Signal
Strength] is red/orange or constantly changing, check aerial/cable/connections.
If problem persists, consult your local TV antenna installer.
●
Too much signal; is [Signal Strength] always at full strength? If yes, try
attenuating (reducing) the signal strength.
●
Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DTV reception.
●
The received signal may be too weak to allow the TV to reliably lock to the
selected channel to generate a viewable picture. If problem persists, consult
your local TV aerial installer.
●
Interference from household appliances (known as impulse noise) such as
light switches, fridges etc. may cause picture break up and / or audio distortion.
Use high quality quad shielded coaxial cable (RG6Q) fly lead between TV and
antenna wall socket to minimise impulse noise pickup. If problem persists,
consult your local TV aerial installer.
●
Antenna installation may be using an aerial amplifier that is faulty or an older
style aerial amplifier that was not designed for digital TV.
●
Older style antenna cabling, loose fitting / corroded wall socket connections /
terminals etc.
●
Turn the TV off with the Mains power On / Off switch, then turn it On again.
Note
Digital TV reception is only as good as the antenna and the antenna cabling delivering the DTV signals to the
television. Reliable digital TV reception requires high quality, robust DTV signals which can only be achieved
when using a TV antenna and cabling designed for digital TV reception.
●
Further reading please visit: http://www.digitalready.gov.au/publications.aspx where you can download ‘The
Digital
TV Antenna Systems for Homes Handbook’ information pdf file.
●
For your safety, the antenna and cabling should be inspected / installed by a licensed installer that should
comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1 for Domestic installations or AS1367 for MATV installations.
