Maintenance
First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.
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 neutral detergent (1 part detergent 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.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
@If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution 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 detergent 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. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods
in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.
@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 neutral detergent 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.)

Technical Information (Continued)
HDMI connections to some Panasonic equipment allow you to interface automatically. (p. 32)
® This function may not work normally depending on the equipment condition.
÷ The equipment can be operated by other remote controls with this function on even if TV is in Standby mode.
÷ Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when the playback starts.
÷ Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when Input mode is switched.
÷ Volume function will be displayed when adjusting the volume of the equipment.
÷ If you connect the same kind of equipment at once (for example: one DIGA to HDMI 1 / another DIGA to HDMI 2), EZ Sync TM is
available for the terminal with the smaller number.
÷ If you connect the equipment that has "HDAVl Control 2" function to the TV with HDMI cable, the sound from DIGITALAUDIO
OUT terminal can be output as multi channel surround.
÷ "HDAVl Control 2" is the newest standard (current as of February, 2007) for Panasonic's HDAVl Control compatible equipment.
This standard is compatible with Panasonic's conventional HDAVl equipment.
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting
the TV unit and the devices.
HDMI-compatible equipment ('1) with an HDMI or DVl output terminal, such as a set-top 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 DVl output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVl to HDMI adapter cable (*2).
÷ When the DVl 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" or "HDMI 2 in" menu screen. (p. 28)
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.
f Caution (2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
\
÷ 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", "S VIDEO", 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. 53.
Do not display a picture in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause "Image
retention" to remain on either or both sides of the display field.
To reduce the risk of such "Image retention", change the brightness of the side bars.
÷ The side bar may flash (alternate black/white) depending on the picture. Using
Cinema mode will reduce such flashing (See below).

applicable, or travel to and from the servicer. The items listed are not exclusive, but are for illustration only.) ALL
EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE LIMITED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE
LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how
long an implied Limited Warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have others rights which vary from state
to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the Limited Warranty period, you may contact your
dealer or Service Center. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then write to the warrantor's Consumer
