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 pane\ l 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 ex\ cess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type unt\ il 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 clot\ h 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, a\ nd 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 di\ rty, 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.) UD@Q@@@Y@FOH@JOEC UD@Q@@@Y@FOH@JOEC
54 QuestionsAnswers Picture 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. UD@Q@@@Y@FOH@JOEC UD@Q@@@Y@FOH@JOEC
55 Support Information Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) QuestionsAnswers 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” or “HDMI 2 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. UD@Q@@@Y@FOH@JOEC UD@Q@@@Y@FOH@JOEC
