 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 HD devices.
HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, su\
ch as a Cable or Satellite 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”, \
“HDMI 3 in” or “HDMI 4 in” menu screen. (p. 46)
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. 53.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal
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.
 Closed Caption (CC)
 
●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 only when the receiver (such as a Cable box or satellite receiver) \
has the CC set
to ON within the device itself. Check with your Cable or Satellite provi\
der for instructions. The TV’s CC button does
not operate the Satellite or Cable box’s CC function.
 
●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.

 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 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)
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.  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.10)
  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 LCD 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.

 Frequently Asked Questions
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”, “HDMI 2 in”, “HDMI 3 in” or “HDM\
I 4 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.

QuestionsAnswers
Networking 
How do I get EASY IPTV 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. 35).
2. Connect the TV to the Internet through your router by an  Ethernet cable or a compatible Panasonic USB wireless 
adapter.
3. Run the “Connections Test”, under the Network Settings  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

How do I check for the latest 
software (firmware) version for 
my TV?
  In the main menu, select “Setup”. Highlight “Network Settings” and press OK. 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

Follow the on-screen instructions, do not power off the TV 
until the update is complete. Be patient; firmware update 
may take a while.
Can I use any USB WiFi adapter 
to connect the TV to my 
wireless network?  The TV’s internal software was designed to work with Panasonic’s wireless adapter model DY-WL10*.
Check www.panasonic.com/NetConnect for updated 
information.
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.
