FAQsBefore requesting service or assistance, please follow these simple guides to resolve the problem.If the problem still persists, please contact your local Panasonic dealer for assistance.

White spots or shadow images (noise)

• Check the position, direction, and connection of the aerial.

Neither image nor sound is produced•Is the TV in “AV mode”?•Is the mains lead plugged into the socket

outlet?•Is the TV turned On?•Check Picture Menu (p. 24) and volume.

An error message appears•Follow the message’s instructions.•If the problem persists, contact the

authorized Service Centre.

“VIERA Link” function does not work and an error message appears•Confi rm the connection.•Turn the connected equipment on and

then switch the TV on. (p. 38)

Contrast is reduced•Contrast is lowered in the following conditions without any

user operation for a few minutes: no signal in DVB or AV mode selected invalid programme selected radio service displayed menu Thumbnail or still picture in SD Card mode

Pixel Statement•An image on a LCD or Plasma TV screen is created by

many small groups of dots known as pixels (which is similar to the image in a newspaper). It also naturally follows that higher panel resolutions contain more pixels. To create a colour image, each pixel consists of three tiny coloured dots (known as sub-pixels), one each of red, green and blue. Each one of these dots is precisely controlled by the electronics of the TV to produce the picture.Whilst Panasonic maintains the highest standards in manufacturing technology and processes in the construction of these panels, there are a number of allowable pixel/sub-pixel failures that still allow the panel to be defi ned as a good panel. It is not possible to guarantee absolutely no pixel loss.

Problem ActionsScreen

No sound is produced •Is “Sound mute” active? (p. 11)•Is the volume set to the minimum?

Sound level is lowor sound is distorted •Sound signal reception may be deteriorated.•Set “MPX” (p. 24) in the Sound Menu to “Mono”.

Chaotic image, noisy •Set “P-NR” in the Picture Menu (to remove noise). (p. 24)•Check nearby electrical products (car, motorcycle, fl uorescent lamp).

No image can be displayed •Is “Colour” or “Contrast” in the Picture Menu set to the minimum? (p. 24)

Blurry or distorted image(no sound or low volume) •Reset programme. (p. 31)

Unusual image is displayed •Turn off the TV with Mains power On / Off switch, then turn it on again.

Sound

“Shop” appears on screen at switch on

•“Shop” was selected in “Auto Tuning” (p. 12).Reset settings in “Shipping Condition” (p. 32), then select “Home” in “Auto Tuning” (p. 12).

Problem Actions

After DVB Auto Tuning only some or no DVB services are found

•Check to ensure your area is covered by DVB transmissions. •Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB. For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected /

installed by a licenced installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.

Note: If you live within 5-10 Km of DVB transmission towers, a combined VHF / UHF aerial should be adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF aerials provide superior reception performance.•If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the Master Antenna TV (MATV) system is designed for analogue and DVB-T reception. Please consult your body corporate.

Aerial connection when using DTV and VCR / DVD Recorder

•To maintain optimum signal quality from TV aerial, use a TV aerial splitter (as illustrated) when connecting two or more equipments to the same aerial.

•Digital TV reception technology requires high quality, robust DTV signals which in some domestic aerial installations, may be relatively poor despite good analogue reception.

FAQs

Picture very infrequently breaks up on some or all programmes

•Electrical atmospheric interference caused by local or distant lighting storms or heavy rain with wind in “leafy” locations may cause pictures to break up and audio to mute or distort momentarily.•Impulse noise interference from an infrequently used electrical appliance, or a passing vehicle or lawn mower with a “noisy” ignition system.

Picture regularly breaks up on some programmes, or “No Signal” message

•Check “Signal Display”. (p. 31)If “Signal Quality” or “Signal Strength” are displayed in red or constantly changing, check aerial.If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.•Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB.

For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected / installed by a licenced installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.•Interference (known as impulse noise) from household appliances such as light switches, fridges etc may cause picture break up and / or audio distortion. Use high quality quad shielded coaxial cable fl y lead between TV and antenna wall socket to minimise impulse noise pickup. If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.•When “No Signal” message is displayed check TV aerial connection.•The received signal may be too weak to allow the TV to reliably lock to the desired “No Signal” programme to generate a stable picture. Repeat the tuning procedure (p. 31). If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

Pictures from external equipment are unusual when the equipment is connected via HDMI

•Is the HDMI cable connected properly? (p. 42)•Turn Off the TV and equipment, then turn them On again.•Check an input signal from the equipment. (p. 46)•Use an equipment compliant with EIA/CEA-861/861B.

Sound is unusual•Set the sound setting of the connected equipment to “2ch L.PCM”.•Check the “HDMI1 / 4 Input” setting in the Sound Menu. (p. 24)•If digital sound connection has a problem, select analogue sound

connection. (p. 35)HD
