Users of cable or satellite boxes should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview channels via their aerial. (Your

Analogue channel for viewing Cable or Satellite services will change to a new position.)

- Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the digital signals may be relatively low in some cases, despite good reception of analogue channels.

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.

Typical still images

• Image displayed in 4:3 mode

• Video game
• Computer image

To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered automatically after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are performed. (p. 72)

Note

• As soon as you switch to a digital 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 digital 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, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download is complete.
• While navigating digital 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.

Analogue teletext services are the text information provided by the broadcasters.

The features may vary depending on the broadcasters.

• Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
• For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be displayed, the TV must be On.
• No other channel can be selected while the recording of Timer Programming is in progress.
• It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).
• When recording programmes to the external recorder, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected to the TV.

If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 60) and the [Link Settings] (p. 31) are correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.

• If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set the timer of the recorder in addition to the Timer Programming on the TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.
• Recordings are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original programme is in high definition.

Multi-channel sound

If you wish to enjoy multi-channel sound (e.g. Dolby Digital 5.1ch) via an Amplifier, connect the Amplifier to the TV with an HDMI cable and an Optical digital audio cable (p. 59), and then select "Home Cinema". If your Amplifier has "HDAVI Control 5" function, you only need to connect with an HDMI cable. In this case, connect your Amplifier to the TV's HDMI2 terminal.

To enjoy the sound from the DIGA Recorder in multi-channel sound, connect an HDMI cable from the DIGA Recorder to the Amplifier (p. 59).

Note

• These functions may not work properly depending on the connected equipment.
- Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when input mode is switched.
- Easy playback may be available by using the remote control for Player theatre, Blu-ray Disc theatre or Amplifier. Read the manual of the equipment.
- "HDAVI Control 5" is the newest standard (current as of December, 2010) for HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This standard is compatible with conventional HDAVI equipment.

Auto Aspect

The optimum size and aspect can be chosen automatically, and you can enjoy finer images.→ (p. 17)

Aspect Control Signal

[WIDE] will appear in the top left of the screen if a Widescreen signal (WSS) or a Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal is found.

The aspect will switch to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio.

This function will work in any aspect mode.

Auto mode

Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection or Justify to fill the screen).

This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.

Letterbox detection:

If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen.

If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

Note

- The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top and bottom of the screen may appear.

- If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.

HDMI connection

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world's first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.

HDMI 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.

For information about connections, see "External Equipment" (p. 66).

Applicable HDMI features

- Input audio signal :

2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz)

- Input video signal :

480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p

→ "Input signal that can be displayed" (p. 71)

Match the output setting of the digital equipment.

- Input PC signal :

→ "Input signal that can be displayed" (p. 71)

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

Regular care:

Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.

For stubborn dirt:

Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

Caution

• Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface.
  Take care not to subject the TV's surfaces to water or detergent more than requires. A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.
  Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
  • Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
• Do not allow the cabinet or pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.

Mains plug

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