Aspect Ratio
Let you choose the aspect depending on the format of the received signal and your preference. (p. 14)
• For viewing Closed Caption of digital broadcasting, set the aspect ratio to FULL.
  (If viewing with H-FILL, JUST, ZOOM or 4:3, characters will be cut off.)
• The closed caption is not displayed when you use HDMI connection.
• If analog connected equipment is used for displaying or recording, closed caption (CC) should be set On/Off on the 
connected equipment.
The CC mode setting of the TV will not affect the analog input.
If a digital program is being output in analog format, the CC data will also be output in analog format.
  If digital connected equipment is used for input, CC should be set to On on either the connected equipment or the 
TV.
  If CC is set to On on both the connected equipment and the TV, captions from each unit will overlap.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals
You can enjoy your home theater by connecting a Dolby Digital (5.1 channel) decoder and “Multi Channel” amplifier 
to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals.
Caution
• External speakers cannot be connected directly to PROG.OUT terminals.
• When ATSC channel is selected, the output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack will be Dolby Digital. When NTSC 
channel is selected, the output will be PCM.
Control with HDMI “HDAVI ControlTM”
HDMI connections to some Panasonic equipment allow you to enjoy the easy playback or home theater.
• Setup the equipment to enable this function. Read the manual of the equipment.
• Switch the TV unit on again with the equipment on when connection or setup is changed.
• This function may not work normally depending on the equipment condition.
• The equipment can be operated by TV’s remote control with this function on even if TV is in Standby mode.
• Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when the playback 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 equipment.
• Easy playback is also available by using the remote control for Amplifier. Read the manuals of Amplifier.
HDMI connection
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition 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, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can be 
connected to the HDMI terminal 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 device has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (*2).
• When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.
• Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 in” or “HDMI2 in” menu screen. (p. 16)
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
(*1): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant device.
(*2): Enquire at your local digital device 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 aspect ratio to “16:9”.
• This HDMI connector is “type A”.
• A device having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”, “S 
VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analog signals.
• The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. 
  Match the output setting of the digital device.
• For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 38.
• 480i (4:3), 480i (16:9), 480p (4:3), 480p (16:9) : FULL,

• 1080p / 1080i / 720p : FULL, H-FILL, JUST, 4:3 or ZOOM.
• When the signal is 720p/1080i/1080p, the aspect mode 
automatically defaults to Full after turning off the TV, 
after changing input mode, or after changed signal 
resolution other than 720p/1080i/1080p.

Technical Information
Do not display a picture in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause an after-image to remain on either or 
both sides of the display field.
To reduce the risk of such an after-image, change the brightness of the side bars.
• The side bar may flash (alternate black/white) depending on the picture. Using Cinema mode will reduce such 
flashing (See below).

Maintenance
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, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution 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 a weak detergent solution 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 detergent 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 and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the 
cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods 
in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.
First, unplug the AC cord plug from the wall outlet.
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 neutral detergent 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.)
