(All of the following accessories are manufactured by Panasonic Corporation.)

  • Remote Control Kit......TY-RM50VW • Cover-frame Kit.....TY-CF47VW5

Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.

Small parts can present a choking hazard if accidentally swallowed. Keep small parts away from young children. Discard unneeded small parts and other objects, including packaging materials and plastic bags/sheets, to prevent them from being played with by young children, creating the potential risk of suffocation.

Do not place the Display on sloped or unstable surfaces, and ensure that the Display does not hang over the edge of the base.

• The Display may fall off or tip over.

Do not place any objects on top of the Display.

- If water spills onto the Display or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Display, please consult your local Panasonic dealer.

Transport only in upright position!

- Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.

Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, and curtains.

For sufficient ventilation;

  • Leave a space of 3-15/16" (10 cm) or more at the top, bottom, left, and right to the outermost circumference of this Display.
  • Leave a space of 1-31/32" (5 cm) or more at the rear.

Cautions for Wall Installation

- Wall installation should be performed by an installation professional. Installing the Display incorrectly may lead to an accident that results in death or serious injury. Furthermore, when installing on a wall, a wall hanging bracket that conforms to VESA standards (VESA 400 × 400) must be used.

■ When using the LCD Display

The Display is designed to operate on 220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Do not cover the ventilation holes.

- Doing so may cause the Display to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Display.

Do not stick any foreign objects into the Display.

- Do not insert any metal or flammable objects into the ventilation holes or drop them onto the Display, as doing so can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.

- High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Display. For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.

Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

Do not use any power supply cord other than that provided with this unit.

• Doing so may cause fire or electric shocks.

Securely insert the power supply plug as far as it will go.

- If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket is loose, they shall not be used.

Do not handle the power supply plug with wet hands.

• Doing so may cause electric shocks.

Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the plug body, not the cable.

- Do not damage the cable, make any modifications to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fire and electric shock. If the power cable is damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.

If the Display is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, unplug the power supply plug from the wall outlet.

To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from this product at all times.

- If the Display is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged, and fire or electric shock could result.

Disconnect the power supply plug from the wall socket as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

• Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it becoming dusty.

- If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fire. Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.

Do not burn or breakup batteries.

- Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

Cleaning and maintenance

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, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water in which neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, and 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, otherwise the surface may become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

- If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added 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 detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Display. 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. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.

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.

Parts of the unit become hot. Even when the temperature of parts of the front, top and rear panels has risen, these temperature rises will not pose any problems in terms of performance or quality.
Power automatically turns off unexpectedly.Check the settings of “OFF TIMER” or “POWER SAVE”. Any of them may be set to enable (see page 25, 27).
This LCD 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.

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.
There may be red spots, blue spots, green spots and black spots on the screen.This is a characteristic of liquid crystal panels and is not a problem. The liquid crystal panel is built with very high precision technology giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points of red, blue, green, or black. Please note this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
