WARNING!
Failure to use a Panasonic bracket or choosing to mount the unit yourself will be done at the risk of the
consumer. Any damage resulting from not having a professional installer mount your unit will void your
warranty.
Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to fall, resulting in injury and product damage.
Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights) which
typically give off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in
the wall before hanging bracket.

Control
Enjoy additional HDMI Inter-Operability with Panasonic products which have HDAVI Control function.
This TV supports HDAVI Control 4 function.
Connections to the equipment (DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player theatre, Amplifier, etc.) with
HDMI and SCART cables allow you to interface them automatically (p. 46 and p. 47).
These features are limited to models incorporating HDAVI Control and VIERA Link.
Some functions are not available depending on the equipments version of HDAVI Control. Please confirm the
connected equipments version of HDAVI Control.
VIERA Link HDAVI Control, based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an industry standard
known as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), is a unique function that we have developed and added.
As such, its operation with other manufacturers equipment that supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.
Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers equipment supporting VIERA Link function.

(WSS)
Auto mode
Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS,
Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen) to determine.
This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.
Letterbox detection: If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the
best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen.
If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.
Note
The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top
and bottom of the screen may appear.
If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the
tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.

HDMI connection
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the worlds first complete digital consumer AV interface complying
with a non-compression standard.
HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV and the
equipment.
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.
About connections, see External Equipment (p. 54).
Input audio signal : 2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz)
Input video signal : 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p
Input signal that can be displayed (p. 60)
Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
Input PC signal : Input signal that can be displayed (p. 60)
Match the output setting of the PC.
VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 4) : VIERA Link (p. 49)
DVI connection
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 / 3 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 (HDMI1: use
COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals / HDMI3: use AV3 audio terminals).
Note
Audio settings can be made on the HDMI1 / 3 Input in the Sound Menu. (p. 27)
HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only.
If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to 16:9.
These HDMI connectors are type A.
These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright
protection.
An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either COMPONENT,
S-VIDEO, or VIDEO to receive analogue signals.
(
1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
(
2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
PC connection
A PC may be connected to this TV so that the PC screen is displayed and sound is heard from the TV.
PC signals that can be inputted: Horizontal scanning frequency 31 to 69 kHz; vertical scanning frequency
59 to 86 Hz (more than 1,024 signal lines could result in incorrect display of the image).
A PC adapter is not necessary for the DOS/V-compliant D-sub 15-pin connector.
