Set up
This Plasma TV may fall and can cause personal injury or even death if not
installed correctly. To prevent personal injury or death, follow these
warnings: Install the Plasma TV in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommended pedestal or stand, corresponding hardware and installation
instructions. This Plasma TV is for use only with the following optional
accessories. Use with any other type of optional accessories may cause
instability. The following accessories are manufactured by Panasonic
Corporation. · Wall-hanging bracket (Angled)
TY-WK5P1RW (TC-P58VT25) TY-WK6P1RW (TC-P65VT25)
Be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out the installation and set-
up. Two or more people are required to install or remove the television.
Some wall mounts (wall-hanging brackets) are not designed to be mounted to
walls with steel studs or old cinder block constructions. Ask your dealer or
licensed contractor to properly secure the wall-hanging bracket.
Do not route the TV’s power cord inside the wall. The power cord was not
designed for in-wall mounting. Doing so can lead to fire hazard.
Do not place the Plasma TV or its stand on a sloped or unstable surface. The
Plasma TV may fall or tip over.
Do not support the Plasma TV on a non-specified pedestal.
Do not place the Plasma TV on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such
as a chest of drawers.
Do not climb or allow children to climb on the Plasma TV
Place or install the Plasma TV where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or
knocked down.
Route all cords and cables such that they cannot be tripped over or pulled by
curious children.
4
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV. If water spills onto the
Plasma TV 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
Plasma TV, please consult an Authorized Service Center. In the unlikely event
that you receive a shock from this product it is possible that your household
outlet may be wired improperly. Have an electrician verify that the TV’s
outlet is properly wired. If the symptom persists, have the TV serviced by a
qualified authorized technician.
AC Power Supply Cord To prevent fire or electric shock:
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC, 60 Hz service. Insert the
power cord plug as far as it will go into the wall socket. If the plug is not
fully inserted, heat may generate, which could cause a fire. The included
power cord is for use with this unit only. Do not use any power cord other
than that provided with this TV. Do not handle the power cord plug with wet
hands. Do not do anything that might damage the power supply cord. When
disconnecting the power supply cord, hold the plug, not the cord. Do not use
the power supply cord if the plug or cord is damaged. Replace the cord or
contact your Authorized Service Center. Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong AC
plug adaptors to connect your TV’s plug to the wall outlet. Doing so will
defeat the TV plug’s safety feature, which can lead to a shock hazard. If the
wall outlet does not accommodate a 3-prong plug, have a qualified electrician
replace your outlet and check the associated wiring.
Handling the power supply cord
Insert the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the power plug is
loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.) Ensure that the power plug is
easily accessible. Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely
connected to prevent electrical shock. · An apparatus with CLASS I
construction shall be
connected to a power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. Do
not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)
Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV. (This may
cause fire or electrical shock.) Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord
may cause fire or electrical shock.) · Do not move the TV with the cord
plugged in the socket outlet. · Do not place a heavy object on the cord or
place the cord near a high-temperature object. · Do not twist the cord, bend
it excessively, or stretch it. · Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power
plug body when disconnecting cord. · Do not use a damaged power plug or socket
outlet.
If water or an object gets inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped,
or if the enclosure becomes damaged, unplug the power supply cord immediately.
A short-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire. Contact an Authorized
Service Center for an evaluation.
CAUTION
Do not cover the ventilation holes. Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to
overheat, which can cause a fire or damage to the Plasma TV. Leave a space of
3 15/16″ (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, and 2 3/4″ (7 cm) or more
at the rear. When using the pedestal, keep the space between the bottom of the
TV and the pedestal or stand surface clear from objects that may obstruct
ventilation.
When Moving the Plasma TV
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV. Moving the TV
with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause
fire or electric shock. To prevent an electric shock, disconnect the power
plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any
cleaning. Transport only in upright position. Transporting the unit with its
display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal
circuitry. Using a dry cloth, clean any dust from the power supply cord and
plug regularly. Build-up of dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity,
which might damage the insulation and cause a fire. This Plasma TV radiates
infrared rays; therefore, it may affect other infrared communication
equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or
reflected light from your Plasma TV. The TV will still consume some power as
long as the power supply cord is connected to the wall outlet.
Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong force or impact to the
display panel. This may cause damage resulting in injury. The TV is heavy. TV
should be handled by 2 or more people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the
TV tipping or falling.
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an
abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma TV, unplug the power supply cord
immediately. Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause a fire
or permanent damage to the TV. Have the TV evaluated by an Authorized Service
Center. Servicing of the TV by unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged
due to its high voltage.

About wireless LAN Wireless LAN adapter and Access point need to be obtained separately. For the latest information on applicable LAN adapters, check the following website: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/tv/ Check that the Access point supports WPS. (If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the Access point is required when configuring settings.) Follow the instructions on the Access point setup screen and configure the appropriate security settings. For more details on setting of Access point, please refer to operating manual for the Access point. We recommend using 11n (5 GHz) for the wireless system between the wireless LAN adapter and Access point. Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 11g (2.4 GHz), but the communication speed may be slower. If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, devices that could connect by wireless LAN may no longer be able to connect. When VIERA CAST, Network camera, or other device is using the network, do not disconnect the wireless LAN adapter. Keep the TV away from the following devices as much as possible: Wireless LAN, Microwaves, and other devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Otherwise, the TV failures such as malfunction may occur due to the radio wave interference. WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup

- If a signal received from an external device is different from the 3D setting of the TV, such as 2D signal when the TV is set to 3D mode, the images may not be displayed correctly.
Using Precautions Liquid Crystal Shutter
Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. Also, do not drop or bend
the 3D Eyewear. Do not scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter with
a pointed instrument etc. Doing so may cause damage to the 3D Eyewear, and
reduce the quality of the 3D image. Infra-red receiver section Do not soil the
infra-red receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it. · Doing so may
prevent the receiver from receiving signals from the television, which may
prevent the 3D Eyewear from operating normally. If the 3D Eyewear is affected
by other infra-red data communication equipment, the 3D images may not be
displayed correctly. Cautions During Viewing Do not use devices that emit
strong electromagnetic waves (such as cellular phones or personal
transceivers) near the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may cause the 3D Eyewear to
malfunction. The 3D Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low temperatures.
Please use within the specified usage temperature range (p. 22). If the 3D
Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz) are used, the
light within the room may appear to be flickering. In this case, either darken
or switch off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D Eyewear. Wear the 3D
Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear
is worn upside down or back-to-front. Liquid crystal displays (such as
computer screens, digital clocks, or calculators etc.) may be difficult to see
while wearing the 3D Eyewear. (The polarizing axis does not match, causing the
displays to appear black.) Do not wear the 3D Eyewear when watching anything
other than 3D images. Individual differences may occur in which the 3D images
are difficult to see, or cannot be seen, especially in users that have a
different level of eyesight between the left and right eyes. Take the
necessary steps (wearing glasses etc.) to correct your eyesight before use.
For comfortable viewing View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further
than the effective height of the screen. Recommended distance:
For a 58-inch television, 7′ 6″ (2.3 m) or more. For a 65-inch television, 7′
10″ (2.4 m) or more. Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the
recommended distance may cause eyesight fatigue. When the top and bottom area
of the screen is blackened, such as during some movies, view the screen at a
distance 3 times further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the
distance closer than above recommended figure.)
Storage and Cleaning
Clean using a soft, dry cloth. Wiping the 3D Eyewear with a soft cloth that is
covered in dust or dirt may scratch the eyewear. Shake off any dust from the
cloth before use. Do not use benzene, thinner, or wax on the 3D Eyewear, as
doing so may cause the paint to peel off. Do not submerge the 3D Eyewear in
liquid such as water when cleaning. Avoid storing the 3D Eyewear in hot or
highly humid locations.
Troubleshooting/Q&A
Viewing
Viewing 3D images on TV
Images are not 3D
· Is “3D Eyewear” set to “On”? Switch “3D Eyewear” set to “On”.
· Is “3D input format” set correctly? When the HDMI receives information in
which 3D mode is not detected, 3D images are not automatically displayed.
Adjust “3D input format” according to the 3D images.
· Is there a sticker or other such item blocking the infra-red reception
section on the 3D Eyewear? The 3D Eyewear operates by receiving signals from
the television. Check that there are no objects blocking the path between the
television and 3D Eyewear.
The power of the 3D Eyewear turns off by itself
· Are there any objects between the eyewear and television? · Is there a
sticker or other such item blocking the infra-red reception section
on the 3D Eyewear? The 3D Eyewear operates by receiving signals from the
television. Check that there are no objects blocking the path between the
television and 3D Eyewear. · If the eyewear stops receiving infra-red signals
from the television, the power automatically switches off after 5 minutes.
There is something wrong with the 3D images
· Are the left and right sides of the 3D image reversed? Switch “Left / Right swap” setting. (p. 24)
Indicator lamp does not light when the 3D Eyewear power button is pressed
· Is the battery level low? Batteryis run out if the Indicator lamp does not light when the power button is held down more than 1 second. Please replace the battery.
