							  Network connection
●  
To enable the network service functions, you need to 
connect the TV to a broadband network environment. 
If you do not have any broadband network services, 
please consult your retailer for assistance.
●  
Prepare the Internet environment for wired connection 
or wireless connection.

About built-in wireless LAN
●  
To use the built-in wireless LAN, using an access 
point is recommended.
●  
To use the built-in wireless LAN in the access point 
mode, up to 7 devices are connectable. But the 
transfer rate will vary according to communication 
environment or connected equipments.
●  
Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to any 
wireless network (SSID*1) for which you do not have 
usage rights. Such networks may be listed as a result 
of searches. However, using them may be regarded 
as illegal access.
●  
Check that the Access point supports WPS*2.
  (If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the 
Access point is required when configuring settings.)
●  
Follow the instructions on the Access point setup 
screen and configure the appropriate security 
settings.
  For more details on setting of Access point, please 
refer to operating manual for the Access point.
●  
We recommend using 11n (5 GHz) for the wireless 
system between the built-in wireless LAN and Access 
point.
  Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 
11g, but the communication speed may be slower.
●  
If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, 
devices that could connect by wireless LAN may no 
longer be able to connect.
●  
Data transmitted and received over radio waves may 
be intercepted and monitored.
●  
Keep the TV away from the following devices as 
much as possible:
  Wireless LAN, microwaves, and other devices that 
use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Otherwise, the TV 
failures such as malfunction may occur due to the 
radio wave interference.
●  
When noises occur due to the static electricity, etc., 
the TV might stop operating for the protection of the 
devices. In this case, turn the TV Off with power On / 
Off switch, then turn it On again.

Frequently Asked 
Questions (FAQ)
  How can I confirm that my TV is working properly?
 
●  
The TV has a built-in Self Test. On the remote control, 
press MENU and scroll down and select HELP to 
access the TV SELF TEST. Run the test and follow 
the on screen instructions.
 
  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 there no picture or just a blue, black or 
snowy screen being displayed?
 
●  
Ensure that 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, ensure 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.
 
  The display panel moves slightly and clattered 
sound is heard when it is pushed with a finger.
 
●  
There is a little gap around the panel to prevent 
damage to the panel. This is not a malfunction.
 
  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, visit www.panasonic.com/support (U.S.A.) or 
www.panasonic.ca/english/support (Canada).

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 panel 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, 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 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 cloth 
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 TV. If water 
droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may 
result.
●  
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect 
sprays, solvents, and 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 dirty, 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.
  Note:  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.
  Note:  Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical 
shock.
