 Viewing 3D images on TV
Precautions for Viewing 3D Images
 Cautions During Viewing   Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cell\
ular phones or personal transceivers) near the 
3D Eyewear.  Doing so may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
  If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz)\
 are used, the light within the room may appear 
to flicker. In this case, either darken or switch off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D Eyewear.
  Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not appear correctly if the 3D Eyewear is worn upside d\
own or back-to-front.
 For comfortable viewing  View from at least the recommended distance (3 times the effective height of the screen), 
 Recommended Distance:
    For a 47-inch television, 5.91’ (1.8 m) or more. For a 55-inch television, 6.89’ (2.1 m) or more.
 
 When the top and bottom area of the screen are blackened, such as when p\
laying movies, view the screen at a distance 
3 times further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the vi\
ewing distance closer than above recommended 
distance.)
  Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if your skin feels unusual.
  In rare cases, the paint or materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause a\
n allergic reaction.
  Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pai\
n, or itching on the nose or temples.
  Prolonged use may cause such symptoms due to excess pressure, which may \
result in the user feeling unwell.
  Use the 3D Eyewear where there is no interference from other devices wit\
h Bluetooth® signals.
Viewing 3D images
The following 3D content can be enjoyed on this TV:  •  A 3D Blu-ray disc, played on 3D capable Blu-ray player/recorder that is c\
onnected via HDMI cable.
•  3D TV broadcast (program)
•  3D Photo and 3D Movie taken by LUMIX/Camcorder.
•  3D game played on 3D capable video game console, connected via HDMI cabl\
e.
Optional Accessories (p. 8)
* For more detail on usage of 3D Eyewear (POWER button, Accessories and how to register, etc.), please refer to 
operating manuals for the purchased 3D Eyewear. 3D experience differs depending on the type of 3D Eyewear.
Using the 3D Eyewear Turn on the 3D Eyewear. Make sure that registration is finished completely.  Put on the 3D Eyewear.
Viewing 3D imagesWhen the HDMI receives information in which 3D mode is detected, 3D imag\
es are automatically displayed 
according to the signal.
If the 3D images are not displayed correctly, or if the images cause discomfort, the images can be adjusted by 
“3D format select” or “3D settings”.
 
●Change the view 3D ⇔
2D, 3D settings.
After Use Turn off the 3D Eyewear. After using the 3D Eyewear, store it in the case.
Change the view 3D⇔ 2D
 
■Simply switches 3D  ⇔

QuestionsAnswers
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, m\
ild liquid dish soap (1 part 
mild liquid dish soap diluted by 100 times the amount of water), and th\
en 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.
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 cl\
oth 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 LCD 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
 CleaningWipe 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)
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 (+ & -).
  Point the remote control directly at the TV’s remote control sensor. 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 doesn’t the Touch Pad 
Controller work?  Check that the batteries are fresh, are of the same type and are installed with the correct polarity (+ & -).
  Check if the pairing range is within 1.6 feet (50 cm). Check if the Touch Pad Controller is pointed toward the TV to turn on the power.
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 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).
How do I display eHELP (built-in Manual) ?   Press HELP on the TV’s remote control to display eHELP. (p. 19)
