Frequently Asked Questions - TH-58PH10BK PANASONIC

How do I connect optional speakers to the TH-58PH10BK?

Use only the optional Panasonic speaker TY-SP58P10WK. Connect to the SPEAKERS terminals (L and R) on the rear panel. Refer to the speaker's installation manual for details.

Can I mount the TV on a wall?

Yes, use an optional wall-hanging bracket. For vertical mounting, use TY-WK42PV7; for angled, use TY-WK42PR7; for drawer type, use TY-WK42DR1. Always have a qualified technician perform the installation.

How do I set the on-screen menu to English?

Press the SET UP button on the remote, select 'OSD Language', choose 'ENGLISH (UK)' or 'ENGLISH (US)', and press ACTION to confirm.

What should I do to prevent permanent image retention?

Avoid displaying still images (logos, video games, 4:3 mode) for extended periods. Use the screensaver functions: white bar scroll, image reversal, wobbling (On1/On2), and set side panel to High. The peak limit feature also reduces contrast.

How do I clean the plasma panel and cabinet?

Unplug the power cord before cleaning. For the panel, use a soft, lint-free cloth; if very dirty, dampen with pure water or 100x diluted neutral detergent, then dry. For the cabinet, use a soft dry cloth. Never use volatile substances like thinners.

Can I control the display via RS-232C?

Yes, use a straight RS-232C cable connected to the SERIAL terminal. Communication parameters: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. Commands include power on (PON), input select (IMS), volume (AVL), etc.

How do I set up a multi-display configuration?

Go to Setup > MULTI DISPLAY Setup. Enable it, set the number of displays (Horizontal/Vertical Scale) and assign a location (A1, B2, etc.) for each unit. The display location number must be set per unit.

What is the maximum resolution for PC input?

The native resolution is 1,366 x 768. For PC signals, the maximum display resolution is 1,024 x 768 when in 4:3 aspect and 1,366 x 768 in 16:9 aspect. Horizontal scan frequency: 15-110 kHz, vertical: 48-120 Hz.

How do I use the weekly command timer?

Go to Setup > Options > Weekly Command Timer. Enable it, then program up to 64 commands with a time and command (e.g., PON, POF, input select). Commands execute in order of time. Ensure present time is set first.

Why does the screen darken when displaying still images?

This is normal. The plasma display automatically reduces brightness to prevent long-term image retention when a still image is shown for an extended period. This protects the panel and is not a defect.

• Panasonic Auto can be selected only during Video signal input.
• The aspect mode is memorized separately for each input terminal.

Mode Picture Explanation
4:3		4:3 will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size.
Zoom	→	Zoom mode magnifi es the central section of the picture.
16:9	→	16:9 will display the picture at its maximum size but with slight elongation.
Just	→	Just mode will display a 4:3 picture at its maximum size but with aspect correction applied to the center of the screen so that elongation is only apparent at the left and right edges of the screen. The size of the picture will depend on the original signal.
Panasonic Auto	→ For an elongated image Image is expanded → For a 4:3 image	The display will automatically become enlarged (depending on the picture source), allowing you to view the picture at its maximum size.Notes:Panasonic Auto mode is designed to automatically adjust the aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material. Certain 4:3 program material, such as stock market data screens, may occasionally cause the image size to change unexpectedly. When viewing such programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT be set to 4:3.If adjusting the Picture V-Pos/V-Size in Panasonic Auto with 16:9 mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the mode, the screen will return to a former adjustment.Panasonic Auto can not be selected while BNC Dual Video Terminal Board (TY-FB9BD) is installed.

Note:

Do not allow the picture to be displayed in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent image retention to remain on the Plasma Display Panel.

Reduces screen image retention

These functions prevent the occurrence of an "image retention" on the display when turned ON.

Wobbling: Automatically shifts the display image (therefore unnoticeable to the eye) to prevent image retention of sharper contour of image.

On1: Shifts the image every 30 seconds.

On2: Shifts the image at a dot level pitch depending on screen-detection.

Peak limit: Suppresses image contrast (peak brightness).

Note: When a still picture is viewed for an extended time, the screen may become slightly darker. (see page 51)

Reduces power consumption

• Power save: When this function is turned On, luminous level of the Plasma Display is suppressed, so power consumption is reduced.
• Standby save: When this function is turned On, power consumption of the microcomputer is reduced during power supply standby (see page 12, 14-15), so standby power of the set is reduced.
• Power management: The unit power supply is turned On or Off depending on whether or not there is a signal during PC input mode.
  This function is enabled when it is turned On. (Only during input from PC (Mini D-sub) terminal)
  • Auto power off: Equipment power supply is turned Off when there is no signal.
  When this is set to On, the power supply of the unit goes Off 10 minutes after the input signals stop.
  This function is effective for input signals except input from PC (Mini D-sub) terminal.

Troubleshooting

Before you call for service, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as shown below.

Symptoms			Checks
Picture Sound
	Interference Noisy Sound		Electrical AppliancesCars / MotorcyclesFluorescent light
	Normal Picture No Sound		Volume(Check whether the mute function has been activated on the remote control.)
	No Picture No Sound		Not plugged into AC outletNot switched onPicture and Brightness/Volume setting(Check by pressing the power switch or stand-by button on the remote control.)
	No Picture Normal Sound		If a signal with a non-applicable colour system format, or frequency is input, only the input terminal indication is displayed.
	No Colour Normal Sound		Colour controls set at minimum level(see page 22, 23)Colour system (see page 39)
No remote control operations can be performed.			Check whether the batteries have discharged completely and, if they have not, whether they were inserted properly.Check whether the remote control sensor is exposed to an outdoor light or a strong fluorescent light.Check whether the remote control designed specifically for use with the unit is being used. (The unit cannot be operated by any other remote control.)
A cracking sound is sometimes heard from the unit.			If there is nothing wrong with the picture or sound, this is the sound of the cabinet undergoing very slight contractions in response to changes in the room temperature. There are no adverse effects on the performance or other aspects.
The top or bottom of the picture on the screen is cut off when I use the zoom function.			Adjust the position of the picture on the screen.
Areas at the top and bottom of the screen where the image is missing appear when I use the zoom function.			When using a video software program (such as a cinema size program) with a screen wider than one in the 16:9 mode, blank areas separate from the images are formed at the top and bottom of the screen.
I can hear sounds coming from inside the unit.			When the power is turned on, a sound of the display panel being driven may be heard: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
This Plasma Display uses special image processing. Hence a slight time lag may occur between image and audio, depending on the type of input signal. However, this is not a malfunction.

Plasma Display panel

Symptoms Check
The screen darkens slightly when bright pictures with minimal movements are shown.	The screen will darken slightly when photos, still images of a computer or other pictures with minimal movements are shown for an extended period. This is done to reduce image retention on the screen and the shortening of the screen's service life: It is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
It takes a while for the picture to appear.	The unit digitally processes the various signals in order to reproduce esthetically pleasing images. As such, it sometimes takes a few moments for the picture to appear when the power has been turned on, when the input has been switched or when the images for the main picture and sub picture on the two screens are swapped.
The edges of the images flicker.	Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the panel, the edges may appear to flicker in the fast-moving parts of the images: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
The brightness on both sides of images in the 4:3 mode changes.	When viewing the side panels at the “High” or “Mid” setting, the brightness on both sides may change depending on the kind of program shown: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
Some parts of the screen do not light up.	The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a malfunction.
Image retention appears	Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent image retention to remain on the Plasma Display.Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.Note:The permanent image retention on the Plasma Display resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.
[for TH-42PH10BK/S, TH-50PH10BK/S, TH-58PH10BK] Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit.	The display unit is fitted with a cooling fan to dissipate heat generated during normal use. The whirring sound is caused by rotation of the fan and is not a malfunction.
