Digital Switchover

Starting in late 2007 and ending in 2012, TV services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.

If you have any questions, please call Digital UK on 08456 50 50 50

or visit www.digitaluk.co.uk

Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks. When it starts you will lose all Analogue TV programmes and some Digital TV programmes will be missing. You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital programmes.

To retune your TV → "Auto Setup" in "Tuning Menu" (p. 35)

Cable or Satellite users should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview services via their aerial. (Your Analogue programme for viewing Cable or Satellite services will change to a new position.)

HD ready

High Definition signals are supported by HDMI and Component Video inputs.

100Hz Double Scan

100Hz Double Scan is a function of this TV that reduces large area f l icker.

15,000:1 Native Contrast

A wide contrast ratio will deliver pictures with a deep black level and a brighter white level for greater image depth.

24p Playback

Can support 1080p, 24 frames per second source materials.

0.001 msec Panel Response Time

Extremely fast response time to minimise picture lag.

V-Audio

Utilises Panasonic's advanced Digital Amplification technology.

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.

Up to 100,000 hours Plasma Panel Lifetime

The Plasma display panel used in the 2008 VIERA TV range is rated for up to 100,000 hours.*

*This measurement is based on the time taken for the brightness of the panel to reduce to half of it's maximum level. The time taken to reach this level may vary depending on the image content and the environment where the TV is used. Image retention and malfunctions are not taken into account.

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 service.

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:

When "select" or "go" is displayed → OK When "◀", "▶", "▲", "▼" symbol is displayed → When the key words are displayed on colour bar → red green yellow blue When options with numbers are displayed → 1 2 3 When "i" is displayed → i (information) → 0

Note

As soon as you switch to a DVB programme 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 programme, 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.

The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy finer images. (p. 16)

Auto

Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio to use to fill your screen. It does this using a four step process to determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture.

If Auto aspect detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen mode. If Auto aspect does not detect a widescreen signal then this advanced TV enhances the picture for optimum viewing pleasure.

The text shown on the screen indicates how Auto aspect determined which ratio to use:

"WIDE" appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identification signal (WSS) is found or a signal found through a SCART or HDMI terminal. Auto aspect switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. This function will also work in any aspect mode. "Auto" appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and below the picture are detected. Auto aspect chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to fill the screen.

This process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.

Note

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard "16:9", black bands may appear at the top and bottom of the screen.
- If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the tracking of the VCR. (See the VCR manual.)

HDMI connection

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment.

HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a DVD player, a set top box or a game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.

About connections, see "External Equipment" (p. 50).

Note

HDMI is the world's first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
- If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (*2).
- When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (HDMI1: use COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals).
● Audio settings can be made on the "HDMI1 Input" menu screen. (p. 26)
● Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
● HDMI2 and HDMI3 terminals are for digital audio signal only.
● Use with a PC is not assumed.
- If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to "16:9".
● These HDMI connectors are "type A"
● These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection.
- An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”, “S-VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals.
● The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals: 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
● For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 54.

(*1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.

(*2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

Updating the DVB software

From time to time, a new version of software for DVB mode may become available for download to enhance the performance or operations of the TV.

A notification banner will appear when you tune to one of the BBC channels, or you can search for a new version software by using the “System Update Search Now” function (p. 31).

To start downloading press "OK", this may take up to 20 minutes to complete.

New version 1.00 found.

Do you really want to update the software and reboot the system?

Press OK to download the new version

Press EXIT to Ignore

To ignore the new software press “EXIT”, but this banner will keep appearing during the period of new software availability, usually 2 to 3 days.

To download any new software automatically, ensure that the "Auto Update Search in Standby" function in the System Update menu is set to "On" (p. 31).

The TV will then download new software automatically at night if it is left in standby without any timer programme in progress.

Note

● During software download and update, DO NOT switch off the TV.
