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
channels and some Digital TV channels will be missing.
You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital channels.
● To retune your TV “Auto Setup” in “DVB Tuning Menu”-DVB mode (p. 35)
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
2 cases, despite good reception of analogue channels.

● 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, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed.
● 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.

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

● 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.

 Technical Information
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 set top box or a DVD player, can
be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
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. 72)
Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
● Input PC signal : “Input signal that can be displayed” (p. 72)
Match the output setting of the PC.
● VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 4) : “VIERA Link” (p. 61)
● x.v.Colour™
■ DVI connection
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 / 3 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 / HDMI3: use AV3 audio terminals).
Note
● Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 3 Input” in the Sound Menu. (p. 31)
● HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only.
● 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.
● This TV incorporates HDMI™ (Version 1.3a with x.v.Colour™) technology.
(∗1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
(∗2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

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.
● To listen to PC sound from the TV, connect the audio cable to COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals. (p. 66)
● When using PC, set the colour display quality of PC to the highest position.
● For details of the applicable PC signals

Network connection (ETHERNET)
If you do not have a Broadband network service, please consult your retailer for assistance.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 66).
■ Preparations
●Confirm the terms and conditions of the contracts with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or
telecommunications company.
●Set up and connect any equipment required for the network environment.
●Ensure that the Broadband routers and hubs are compatible with 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX.
●If you use the equipment compatible only with 100BASE-TX, category 5 straight LAN cables (STP) are required.
●Read the manual of the network equipment, too.
Note
● Depending on the ISP or telecommunications company, the required equipment and the internet connection
procedure are different. Ensure that you use the network equipment that are authorized by your ISP and
telecommunications company.
● You cannot make settings for the network equipment on this TV. You may be required to make settings on your
computer.
● Depending on the terms and conditions of the contracts with your ISP or telecommunications company, additional
fees may be incurred or multiple connections to the internet may be impossible.
● Please contact your ISP or telecommunications company if you require further assistance regarding the network
equipment.
