Technical Information

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 output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.

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.

Audio settings can be made on the "HDMI1 input" menu screen. (p. 18)

Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz

(1): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant equipment. (2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

Note

HDMI2 terminal is for digital signal only.

Use with a PC is not assumed.

The 720p/1080i signals will be reformatted before being displayed on the screen.

If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to "16:9".

These HDMI connectors are "type A".

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 and 1080i. Match the output setting of the digital equipment.

For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 39.

DVI picture position is controlled by the source equipment (ie; STB, DVD player etc.). If you experience picture position errors using DVI to HDMI adapter cable, please contact the source equipment manufacturer.

PC connection

A PC may be connected to this TV so that the PC screen is displayed and sound is heard from the TV.

PC signals that can be inputted: Horizontal scanning frequency 31 to 69 kHz; vertical scanning frequency

59 to 86 Hz (more than 1,024 signal lines could result in incorrect display of the image).

 

A PC adapter is not necessary for the DOS/V-compliant D-sub 15-pin connector.

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.

 

 

 

 

For details of the applicable PC signals, see p. 39.

Control with HDMI

HDMI connections to some Panasonic equipments allow you to enjoy the easy playback or home theatre.

Setup the equipment to enable this function. Read the manual of the equipment.

This function may not work normally depending on the equipment condition.

This function may not work normally when Panasonic Player theatre is connected.

The equipment can be operated by TV’s remote control with this function on even if TV is in Standby mode.

Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when the playback starts.

Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when Input mode is switched.

Volume function will be displayed when adjusting the volume of the equipment.

Easy playback is also available by using the remote control for Amplifier. Read the manuals of Amplifier.

"Control with HDMI" function is not possible using DVI connection.

Stereo / Bilingual Sound Selection (Analogue mode)

When you receive the stereo / bilingual sound system, sound output modes can be selected by pressing

the Stereo / Bilingual Sound Selection button.

Note

If the stereo signal is poor or the receiving conditions are not optimum or if STEREO:MONO automatic switching occurs, it is recommended you switch from STEREO to MONO.

Even when the contents of the receiving signal undergo changes, selection mode is kept intact.

When the receiving conditions deteriorate, listening will be easier if the mode is set to the MONO position, using the stereo / bilingual sound selection button.

DUAL, also known as DUAL MONO or as BILINGUAL is not currently transmitted in some countries.
