Quick Start Guide
FULL HD
This TV uses a high definition plasma panel
(1920 × 1080 pixels) to produce high definition
pictures close to their original resolution.
V-real Pro 2
V-real Pro 2 technology is the collective
name for original technologies developed by
Panasonic to enhance total Full HD (1080p) image quality:
V-real Pro 2 PROCESSOR: Enhance and output the
incoming video signals as high-image-quality signals. The
resulting video signals deliver the kind of high resolution
that large screens require.
V-real Pro 2 DRIVER: Precisely controls panel drive to
optimise its performance. Achieves high image quality with
the equivalent of high steps of gradation.
V-real Pro 2 PANEL: Provide clear, vivid display of the
video signal after processing by the V-real Pro 2 Processor
and Driver. The high resolution of 1,920 × 1,080 pixels
ensures beautiful images with clearer, sharper details.
High gradation
Gradation refers to the smoothness of colour
expression.
Rich, fine gradation is extremely important for maximising
the high resolution panel. Uses maximum 16-bit signal
processing to provide the equivalent of 4,096 steps of
gradation.
Lead-free display
All VIERA plasma display panels are lead-free.
This reduces the impact on the environment
when recycling or disposing of them in the future.

Safety Precautions
Warning & Caution
AC 220-240 V
50 / 60 Hz
Handling the mains plug
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible at
all times. The On / Off switch on this model does
not fully disconnect the TV from the mains supply.
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket when
the TV is not used for a prolonged period of time.
Ensure the grounding pin on the mains plug is
securely connected to prevent electrical shock.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be
connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
Do not use any mains lead other than that provided
with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.)
Do not expose to direct sunlight
and other sources of heat
Avoid exposing the TV to direct sunlight and other
sources of heat. To prevent fire never place any type
of candle or naked flame on top or near the TV.
Power source
This TV is designed to operate on 220-240 V,
50 / 60 Hz AC.
Do not remove the cover
Do not remove the rear cover as live parts are
accessible when it is removed. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
Transport only in upright position
Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.

How to use
In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the
remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all
manufacturers of DVB equipment, some on screen commands may
not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.
For example:

You can enjoy news, weather forecasts and subtitles, etc. (depending on the broadcaster)
Note
As soon as you switch to a DVB channel with links to a teletext service,
software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a DVB channel, you should wait for
approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow
the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is
complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed.
While navigating DVB teletext, you will find there is a short delay when
moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt
shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that
this is happening.
DVB (digital broadcasting) mode
DVB teletext services
DVB teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext.
When you switch to a DVB teletext service, the images
you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and
controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster.
You can check if the programme has teletext information.
