 Closed Caption (CC)

 

For viewing the CC of digital broadcasting, set the 
aspect to [FULL]. (If viewing with [H-FILL], [JUST], 
[ZOOM] or [4:3]; characters might be cut off).

 

The CC can be displayed on the TV only when the 
receiver (such as a Cable box or satellite receiver) 
has the CC set to “On” within the device itself. Check 
with your Cable or Satellite provider for instructions. 

 

If the CC is set to “On” on both the receiver and 
TV when the signal is 480i (except for the HDMI 
connection), the CC may overlap on the TV. 

 

If a digital program is being output in analog format, 
the CC data will also be output in analog format.

 

If the recorder or output monitor is connected to the 
TV, the CC needs to be set up on the recorder or 
output monitor.

Maintenance

First, unplug the power cord plug from the wall 
outlet.

Power cord plug

Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. 
(Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical shock.)

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 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

 

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. (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.)

Troubleshooting

Before requesting service or assistance, please follow 
these simple guides to resolve the problem.
If an error message appears, follow the message’s 
instructions.
If the problem still persists, please contact your local 
Panasonic dealer for assistance.

Picture

Why is there no picture or just a blue, black or 
snowy screen being displayed?

 

Check if 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 control 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, check that the device is 
on and functioning correctly.

 

Press 

MENU

 on the remote control. If the menu is 

displayed, then the TV is working; recheck above 
steps.
