 Technical Information
 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, after cleaning up the dust, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted mi\
ld liquid dish soap (1 part mild 
liquid dish soap diluted by 100 times the amount of water), and then wr\
ing the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to 
wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cl\
oth 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 diluted mild liquid dish soap and then wring the clo\
th 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.)
Power cord plug
Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust\
 can lead to fire or electrical shock.)

 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\
 website 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. Especially check for Component and VIDEO connection since 
these terminals are shared.
 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. 15). 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. 16)
  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. 12)
 If you’re using an antenna, then check that connections are secure. C\
hange 
the position or direction of the antenna and check the “Signal meter”\
. (p. 37)
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. 15)
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 1-877-95-VIERA (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.
Why is the picture brightness 
changing?  Turn the C.A.T.S. feature off. 
  Press MENU -> Setup > Picture > C.A.T.S.

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.
How do I get “Online Movies” 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. 30).
2. 
Connect the TV to the Internet through your router by an 
Ethernet cable or a Panasonic Wireless LAN Adapter (Optional 
accessory).
3.  Run the “Connections Test”, under the Network 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 “Network”. 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.
How do I get the Software update 
information and download 
periodically?  In the main menu, select “Network”. Highlight “Network software notice”. 
  Make sure that setting is “On”. 
  When the TV is turned On, update message is displayed if  available. Follow the direction of the screen to download.
Can I use any USB Wi-Fi adapter 
to connect the TV to my wireless 
network?  The TV’s internal software is designed to work with Panasonic’s Wireless LAN Adapter. Check
  www.panasonic.com/NetConnect for latest information.

QuestionsAnswers
3D
Other
Why doesn’t my 3D video source 
looks 3D?
1.  Begin playing the 3D video source.
2.  Ensure that the Panasonic 3D Eyewear (glasses) are on 
(check the glasses battery)
3.  Press “3D” button directly or press the VIERA TOOLS button  on the TV’s remote control and select “3D”
4.  In the “3D format select” menu, select “3D”.
Notes: 
1. 
3D Blu-ray discs must be played with a 3D capable Blu-ray player. 2. Check with your Cable or Satellite provider if their supplied box is 3D \
capable.3.  3D signal must be connected to the TV via an HDMI cable.
4. Use Panasonic 3D Eyewear supporting Bluetooth wireless technology.
When selecting some 3D video 
content, why are there two 
pictures next to each other?
 There are a few different 3D formats and the current setting may 
not match the incoming 3D signal. The format should change 
automatically, but depending on the source/connection it may not 
signal the TV properly. To manually select other 3D formats:
1.  Press “3D” button directly or press VIERA TOOLS button on  the TV’s remote control and select “3D”
2.  In the “3D format select” menu, choose another 3D format  such as “Side by side” or “Top and bottom”. 
3.  Remember to switch the 3D format setting back to “AUTO”  when you go back to viewing a standard 2D signal.
Why does the left and right sides 
of the image seem reversed?  The 3D format has two different “phases”. Try the other phase:
1. In the main menu, select “Setup”. Highlight “3D settings” an\
d press OK.2.  In the “3D Settings” menu, select “Left/Right swap”
Can I use 3D glasses similar to the 
kind given at a 3D movie theater to 
watch 3D content on my 3D TV? No. Movie theater’s 3D glasses are passive. They use a simple 
filter ‘lens’. Panasonic active shutter 3D Eyewear are actively 
synchronizing the left/right eye viewing with the display, 
providing a superior 3D viewing experience.
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 grayed-out and unable to be 
selected? During “First time setup”, you indicated in ANT/Cable setup that 
you are using Cable or Satellite box and 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 unable to 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.
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.
