If the symptom persists, have the TV serviced by a qualified authorized technician. ● To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from this product at all times ■AC Power Supply Cord

To prevent fire or electric shock:

● The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC, 60 Hz service. Insert the power cord plug as far as it will go into the wall socket. If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may generate, which could cause a fire. ● The included power cord is for use with this unit only. ● Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV. ● Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. ● Do not do anything that might damage the power supply cord. ● When disconnecting the power supply cord, hold the plug, not the cord. ● Do not use the power supply cord if the plug or cord is damaged.

Replace the cord or contact your Authorized Service Center. ● Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong AC plug adapters to connect your TV’s plug to the wall outlet. Doing so will defeat the TV plug’s safety feature, which can lead to a shock hazard. If the wall outlet does not accommodate a 3-prong plug, have a qualified electrician replace your outlet and check the associated wiring. ■Handling the power supply cord

se rt the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the power plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.) ● Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible. ● Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.• An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. ● Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.) ● Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.) ● Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord may cause fire or electrical shock.)• Do not move the TV with the cord plugged in the socket outlet.• Do not place a heavy object on the cord or place the cord near a high-temperature object.• Do not twist the cord, bend it excessively, or stretch it.• Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power plug body when disconnecting cord.• Do not use a damaged power plug or socket outlet. ● If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma TV, unplug the power supply cord immediately. Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause a fire or permanent damage to the TV. Have the TV evaluated by an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high voltage. ● If water or an object gets inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the enclosure becomes damaged, unplug the power supply cord immediately.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range.

FCC and IC require this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful

interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz

and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this product.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.

There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe.

Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.

Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce

heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.

Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological

effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

Product Identification Marking is located on the bottom of the Wireless LAN Adapter.

● To use the Wireless LAN Adapter, an access point needs to be obtained.For the additional information for Wireless LAN Adapters, check the following website: http://Panasonic.com/NetConnect ● It is recommended to use the Wireless LAN Adapter with the supplied extension cable. ● Do not use the Wireless LAN Adapter to connect to any wireless network (SSID*) for which you do not have usage rights. Such networks may be listed as a result of searches. However, using them may be regarded as illegal access.* SSID is a name for identifying a particular wireless network for transmission. ● Do not subject the Wireless LAN Adapter to high temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture. ● Do not bend, or subject the Wireless LAN Adapter to strong impacts. ● Do not disassemble or alter the Wireless LAN Adapter in any way. ● Do not attempt to install the Wireless LAN Adapter in any incompatible device. ● When VIERA Connect, Network camera, DLNA, or other device is using the network, do not disconnect the Wireless LAN Adapter. ● Check that the Access point supports WPS*. (If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the Access point is required when configuring settings.) ● Follow the instructions on the Access point setup screen and configure the appropriate security settings.For more details on setting of Access point, please refer to operating manual for the Access point. ● We recommend using 11n (5 GHz) for the wireless system between the Wireless LAN Adapter and Access point.Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 11g (2.4 GHz), but the communication speed may be slower. ● If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, devices that could connect by wireless LAN may no longer be able to connect. ● Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted and monitored. ● Keep the TV away from the following devices as much as possible:Wireless LAN, microwaves, and other devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Otherwise, the TV failures such as malfunction may occur due to the radio wave interference. ● When noises occur due to the static electricity, etc., the TV might stop operating for the protection of the devices. In this case, turn the TV Off with power On / Off switch, then turn it On again.* WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup ■Wireless network (First time setup) in Display “Wireless network” Select the connection methodselect

Precautions for Viewing 3D Images Infra-red receiver section Do not soil the infra-red receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it.• Doing so may prevent the receiver from receiving signals from the television, which may prevent the 3D Eyewear from operating normally.

If the 3D Eyewear is affected by other infra-red data communication equipment, the 3D images may not be displayed correctly. Cautions During Viewing Do not expose the infra-red receiver section to strong light such as direct sunlight and fluorescent light. The 3D image may not be displayed correctly. If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz) are used, the light within the room may appear to be flickering. In this case, either darken or switch off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D Eyewear.

Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or back-to-front.

Individual differences may occur in which the 3D images are difficult to see, or cannot be seen, especially in users that have a different level of eyesight between the left and right eyes. Take the necessary steps (wearing glasses etc.) to correct your eyesight before use. For comfortable viewing View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effective height of the screen. Recommended distance: For a 50-inch television, 6’2” (1.9 m) or more. For a 55-inch television, 6’8” (2.1 m) or more. Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance may cause eyesight fatigue. When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as during some movies, view the screen at a distance 3 times further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended distance.) Viewing 3D images Using the television menu controls, set so that 3D images are shown. ● You can watch 3D images in the following cases:• When a 3D image supporting Blu-ray Disc is played on a 3D image supporting player/recorder connected using a HDMI cable to a 3D image supporting television.• 3D image supported broadcast (program)• 3D Photo, 3D Movie taken by LUMIX/Camcorder. • 2D->3D (Simulated 3D) p. 56Optional Accessories (p. 8)* For more detail on usage of 3D Eyewear (Power button and Accessories etc.), please refer to operating manuals for thepurchased 3D Eyewear seeing it differs depending on the type of 3D Eyewear (Model No. of 3D Eyewear). Wearing the 3D Eyewear Turn on the 3D Eyewear Put on the 3D Eyewear View When the HDMI receives information in which 3D mode is detected, 3D images are automatically displayed according to the signal.If the 3D images are not displayed correctly or the images cause discomfort, the images can be adjusted by “3D format select” or “3D settings”. ● Change the view 3D ⇔ 2D, 3D settings (p.25) After Use Turn off the 3D Eyewear. After using the 3D Eyewear, store it in the case provided. Viewing 3D images on TV

Care and Cleaning First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet. 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 a weak 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 Plasma 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

● Cleaning 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.) Care and Cleaning

Technical Information

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) If there is a problem with your TV, please refer to the table below to determine the symptoms, then carry out the suggested check. If this does not solve the problem, visit the Panasonic website for further assistance. (see cover) How do I view the picture from

devices such as a: Cable/Satellite

box, game console, Blu-ray or

DVD player? Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the correct input source. Check that the device is turned on and functioning correctly. 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 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 TV’s remote control. If the menu is displayed, then the TV is working; recheck above steps. Why doesn’t the picture look like

it is in High Definition?

Press the INFO button on the remote to confirm the type of signal being received (p. 19). HD signal should be 720P, 1080i or 1080p. Select a High Definition channel from your HD source (Cable, Satellite or fiber optic service). HD channels sometimes broadcast non-HD content. Ensure that your HD source (HD box, Blu-ray player, etc.) is connected to the TV with an HDMI or Component cable and set to output an HD video signal. Why do black bars appear on the

top and bottom and/or sides of

the screen? Change the format (aspect ratio) of the picture by pressing the FORMAT button on the remote control. (p. 20) Check the aspect settings on your external video source, such as Cable/Satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray Disc player, etc. Note: Some content, such as film-based movies, are available in extra-wide format. Top and bottom bars are unavoidable. Why is the picture snowy when

“ANT/Cable in” is selected? When using a cable service (without a box), check that all connections are secure. When using a cable or satellite box, change the connection (wiring) to Composite, Component or HDMI. (p. 12) If you’re using an antenna, then check that connections are secure. Change the position or direction of the antenna and check the “Signal meter”. (p. 47) Why is the picture chaotic and/

or torn and/or with a buzz in the

speakers? Check if electrical products such as kitchen appliances, fluorescent lights or light dimmers are nearby. They may interfere with the TV’s picture.

Try viewing a picture from another device, such as a DVD player or a game console, to narrow down the source of the problem. Why is there a black box on the

screen? Change settings of Closed Caption (CC). (p. 19, 52) Why is the screen blank and the

power indicator blinking? The TV has gone into shutdown mode to protect itself. Try unplugging it for a few minutes and connecting it again. If there was a temporary power surge on the AC line it may now be OK. If the blinking returns, call 1-877-95VIERA (U.S.A.) or 1-866-330-0014 (Canada). Why do some small spots on the

screen remain bright or dark? The Plasma panel is made up of a few million pixels and is produced with advanced technology through an intricate process. Sometimes a few pixels may be bright or dark. These pixels do not indicate a defective panel and will have no impact on the performance of the TV. tcp5055GT30eng0606.indb60tcp5055GT30eng0606.indb60 2011/02/2115:34:042011/02/2115:34:0461

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Why is there no sound coming from the TV? Make sure the volume is up and MUTE is off. Confirm the TV speakers are set to ON by pressing MENU and selecting “Audio” --> “Advanced audio”. (p. 51) Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is selected by pressing the SAP button on the remote control. (p. 19) If the TV is connected to a Panasonic Home Theater via HDMI cable, then check VIERA Link controls. (p. 37) If the TV is connected to a Home Theater via optical cable, then: Check the connection, the audio system is on, the correct input is selected. Check “HDMI 1 in”, “HDMI 2 in”, “HDMI 3 in” or “HDMI 4 in” analog/digital audio settings. (p. 51) Why is the sound unusual,

distorted, low volume or in

another language? Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is selected by pressing the SAP button on the remote control. Check that all connections of external equipment connected to the TV are secure. When using Cable or Satellite box, check the device’s audio settings. (example: try changing the box’s Audio Range to ‘narrow’)Why is there a clicking, ticking or buzzing sound coming from the TV unit? When TV power is turned on or shut off there are electrical components that make a click sound. This is normal operation. Changes in the temperature and humidity of the room may cause thermal expansion and contraction that can produce sounds. This is not a sign of faulty operation or a malfunction.What is the easiest and best way to connect a High-Definition Cable or Satellite box to the TV? Use an HDMI cable. It carries both digital video and audio signal in HD. HDMI cable is the only cable needed to connect an HD device to the TV.Why does the CC button not display Closed Caption? When viewing TV via an HDMI connected device, such as a Cable or Satellite box, CC must be enabled at the device. Closed Caption is available only at supported TV programming.Why does the screen and back cover of the TV get warm? The main unit radiates heat and some of the parts may become hot. This is normal operation and does not affect the performance of the set. Ensure good ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the TV and do not place the TV on top of other equipment.Why doesn’t the Remote Control work? Check that the batteries are fresh, are of the same type and are installed with the correct polarity (+ & -). To operate other devices, such as changing channels when using Cable or Satellite boxes or operating non-Panasonic Blu-ray players, use the remote supplied with the device.Why is the “ANT/Cable” option at the top of the “Input select” menu gray-out and cannot be selected? During “First time setup”, you indicated in step - that you are using Cable or Satellite box and in step - b that the box is connected to one of the TV’s AV inputs. In this case, the Antenna/Cable input is deactivated to prevent unintentional switching into unused tuner. To re-activate, press MENU, select SETUP and repeat “First time setup”.Some menu items are grayed-out and cannot be selected. Why? Depending on certain modes or the selected input, some options are not available. For example, Zoom adjustments are only available when the FORMAT is changed to zoom mode. tcp5055GT30eng0606.indb61tcp5055GT30eng0606.indb61 2011/02/2115:34:042011/02/2115:34:0462

Networking 3D How do I get VIERA Connect to

1. You need a broadband (high speed) Internet service with a

speed of no less than 1.5 Mbps (p. 39).

Connect the TV to the Internet through your router by an

Ethernet cable or a Panasonic Wireless LAN Adapter (included).

3. Run the “Connections Test”, under the Network Settings menu.

If Connection test fails, then check with your Internet service

provider or router/modem manufacturer if there are firewall,

content filter or proxy settings that may block the TV from

accessing the Internet.

How do I check for the latest

software (firmware) version for

In the main menu, select “Setup”. Highlight “Network Settings”

and press OK. Select “Software Update”. The current version

and latest version software will be shown. If software update

is “grayed out”, the TV is not connected to the Internet. If

newer version is available, update your TV. Follow the on-

screen instructions, do not power off the TV until the update is

complete. Be patient; firmware update may take a while.

Can I use any USB WiFi adapter to

connect the TV to my wireless network?

The TV’s internal software was designed to work with

Panasonic’s Wireless LAN Adapter (included).

How do I reset my TV to all factory

defaults and settings?

In the main menu, select “Setup”. Highlight “Reset to Defaults”

and press OK. Enter your password (if created earlier) or

create a temporary new password. Select Yes to reset the TV.

Can I download new apps

(content & services) into my

No. From time to time, Panasonic will add new quality apps

into VIERA Connect. Your TV will be notified automatically

when new apps are available. Just leave your TV connected

to the Internet. When asked, approve the firmware update to

enjoy new functionality downloaded to your TV.

Why doesn’t my 3D video source

1. Begin playing the 3D video source.

2. Ensure that the Panasonic 3D Eyewear (glasses) are on

(check the glasses battery)

3. Press “3D” button directly or press the VIERA TOOLS button

on the TV’s remote control and select “3D”

3D Blu-ray discs must be played with a 3D capable Blu-ray player.

Check with your Cable or Satellite provider if their supplied box is 3D capable.

3. 3D signal must be connected to the TV via an HDMI cable.

When selecting some 3D video

content, why are there two

pictures next to each other?

There are a few different 3D formats and the current setting may

not match the incoming 3D signal. The format should change

automatically, but depending on the source/connection it may not

signal the TV properly. To manually select other 3D formats:

1. Press “3D” button directly or press VIERA TOOLS button on

the TV’s remote control and select “3D”

2. In the “3D format select” menu, choose another 3D format

such as “side by side” or “top and bottom”.

3. Remember to switch the 3D format setting back to “AUTO”

when you go back to viewing a standard 2D signal.

Why does the power on the 3D Eyewear (glasses) turn off by itself?

The 3D Eyewear receives special synchronizing infrared signals

from the TV. If no signal is received within 5 minutes, the 3D Eyewear automatically turns itself off to save power. Ensure that no

objects are blocking the path between the 3D Eyewear and the TV.

Why does the left and right sides

of the image seem reversed?

The 3D format has two different “phases”. Try the other phase:

In the main menu, select “Setup”. Highlight “3D setting” and press OK.

2. In the “3D Settings” menu, select “Left/Right Swap”

Can I use 3D glasses similar to the

kind given at a 3D movie theater to

watch 3D content on my 3D TV?

No. Movie theater’s 3D glasses are passive. They use a simple

filter ‘lens’. Panasonic 3D Eyewear are actively synchronizing

the left/right eye viewing with the display, providing a superior

3D viewing experience.
