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.

How to replace the fuse.
Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.
As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your mains plug, proceed as follows.
WARNING: – THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
IMPORTANT: – The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: –
Green-and-Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live
If a new mains plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below.
If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.
If the fitted moulded mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home, then the fuse shall be
removed and the mains plug cut off and disposed of safety. There is a danger of severe electrical shock
if the cut off mains plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.
If the mains plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the mains plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover may be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp
(TH-42PZ70BA, TH-42PZ70B) / 10 amp (TH-50PZ70B) fuse is fitted in this mains plug. Shall the fuse need to be
replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amps (TH-42PZ70BA, TH-42PZ70B) / 10 amps
(TH-50PZ70B) and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark
ASA
or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
Electronic equipment
In particular, do not place video equipment near the TV

Keep the TV away from these equipment
If no signal is received and no operation is performed in Analogue TV
mode for 30 minutes, the TV will automatically go to standby mode.
Auto power standby function
Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen
(“image retention”).
This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the
warranty.
To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered automatically after a few
minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are performed. (p. 51)

Caution
Do not use any other TV and displays.
•
Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Do not use the pedestal if it becomes warped or physically damaged.
•
If you use the pedestal while it is physically damaged, personal injury may result. Contact your nearest
Panasonic dealer immediately.
During set-up, make sure that all screws are securely tightened.
•
If sufficient care is not taken to ensure screws are properly tightened during assembly, the pedestal will not be
strong enough to support the TV, and it might fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Use the accessory fall-prevention brackets to secure the TV.
•
If the TV is knocked or children climb onto the pedestal with the TV installed, the TV may fall over and personal
injury may result.
Two or more people are required to install and remove the TV.
•
If two or more people are not present, the TV may be dropped, and personal injury may result.
Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.

Warning
Installation of the pedestal
Note
•
Maintenance
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the pedestal 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.)
•
Forcing the assembly screws the wrong way will strip the threads.

Switch to Teletext
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:
3
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.
