     For viewing the CC of digital broadcasting, set the aspect to FULL (If viewing with H-FILL, JUST, ZOOM or 4:3; 
    characters might be cut off).  
     The CC can be displayed on the TV if the receiver (such as a set-top box or satellite receiver) has t\
    he CC set On using 
    the Component or HDMI connection to the TV.  
     If the CC is set to On on both the receiver and TV when the signal is 480i (except for the HDMI connection), the CC 
    may overlap on the TV.
     If a digital program is being output in analog format, the CC data will \
    also be output in analog format. 
     If the recorder or output monitor is connected to the TV, the CC needs to be set up on the recorder or output monitor.

    Press the FORMAT button to cycle through the aspect modes. This lets you choose the aspect depending on the format 
    of the received signal and your preference. (p. 19)

    FAQs, etc.
     Technical Information
    VIERA LinkTM “HDAVI ControlTM”
    HDMI connections to some Panasonic equipment allow you to interface auto\
    matically. (p. 38) This function may not work normally depending on the equipment condition\
    . The equipment can be operated by other remote controls with this functio\
    n on even if the TV is in Standby mode. Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when playb\
    ack 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 equipm\
    ent. If you connect equipment that has “HDAVI Control 2 or later” function to the TV with an HDMI cable, the sound from the 
    DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal can be output as multi-channel surround.
     “HDAVI Control 5” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2009) for the HDAVI Control compatible equipment.
      This standard is compatible with the conventional HDAVI equipment.
    HDMI connection
    HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-d\
    efinition digital images and high-quality sound by 
    connecting the TV unit and the devices.
    HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, su\
    ch 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 DVI output, connect to the HDMI ter\
    minal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (*2). When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to t\
    he audio input terminal. Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI 1 in”, “HDMI 2 in” o\
    r “HDMI 3 in” menu screen. (p. 36)
    Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (L.PCM):  48 kHz, 44.1 kH\
    z, 32 kHz
      (*1):  The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant device. 
      (*2):  Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
    Caution
     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 aspec\
    t 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”, or “VIDEO” to 
    receive analog signals.
     The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signal\
    s:  480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.
    Match the output setting of the digital device.
     For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 61.
    DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals
    You can enjoy your Home theater by connecting a Dolby Digital (5.1 chann\
    el) decoder and “Multi Channel” amplifier to the 
    DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals. 
    Caution
     Depending on your DVD player and DVD-Audio software the copyright protec\
    tion function may operate and disable optical 
    output.
     When an ATSC channel is selected, the output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack will be Dolby Digital. When an NTSC 
    channel is selected, the output will be PCM.
      When playing a movie on SD Card Movie player, when the sound has been recorded in Dolby Digital, the output from the\
     
    DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal will be Dolby Digital. When the sound is recorded in other for\
    mats, the output will be PCM.
