Need help?Do you have a question about the Panasonic TX-55GZ2000B and is the answer not in the manual?
This document provides operating instructions for the Panasonic OLED TV, specifically models TX-55GZ2000B and TX-65GZ2000B. It covers essential information for setup, usage, and maintenance of the television.
The Panasonic OLED TV is a smart television designed for high-quality visual and audio experiences. It features "Space Tune" functionality, which automatically adjusts sound quality based on the installation location and room conditions. This is achieved through left-center-right speakers and upward-firing speakers that utilize upward-resonance against the ceiling to create a spatial sound experience. The TV supports various input modes including Freeview, DVB, Analogue, and Satellite, and is compatible with 4K/HDR content. It includes built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth® wireless technology for network connectivity and peripheral device connections. The TV also offers recording capabilities when connected to a USB HDD and supports VIERA Link for integrated control with compatible Panasonic devices.
Upon first use, the TV guides you through an "Auto Setup" process to search for available channels and configure settings. This includes selecting your viewing environment (Home or Shop), setting up network connections (wired or wireless), and configuring satellite antenna settings if applicable. The "Space Tune Setting" for audio optimization also initiates during this first-time setup.
The TV is designed to display vibrant images, but users should be aware of "image retention" if still images are displayed for prolonged periods. To mitigate this, the TV may activate a screen saver (OLED logo moves) or dim the screen when motionless images are detected. Users can also set [Logo Luminance Control] to [Max] and adjust the aspect ratio to [4:3 Full] for 4:3 images to prevent retention. The TV's ambient sensor can adjust picture quality based on room brightness when [Ambient Sensor] in the Picture Menu is set to [On].
Beyond the "Space Tune" function, the TV allows for multi-channel sound output through external amplifiers (e.g., Dolby Digital 5.1ch) via HDMI (ARC) or DIGITAL AUDIO. Headphones can be connected via a 3.5 mm stereo mini plug, with output settings adjustable in the Sound menu. A subwoofer can also be connected for enhanced bass, with its output settings configured in the same menu.
The TV offers multiple HDMI ports (HDMI1-4), with HDMI2 supporting ARC (Audio Return Channel). USB ports (USB 1, 2, 3) are available for connecting various devices, including USB HDDs for recording. Terrestrial and satellite antenna terminals are provided for broadcast reception. An Ethernet port allows for wired network connection, and built-in wireless LAN enables wireless internet access. CI slots are available for Common Interface modules, which allow access to encrypted channels.
The supplied remote control provides comprehensive access to TV functions, including power on/off, menu navigation, input mode selection, volume control, channel selection, and direct access to services like Netflix and Freeview Play. The remote also features coloured buttons for various functions and a "Light" button to illuminate the remote's buttons in the dark. The TV includes an on-screen "eHELP" system, which serves as a detailed operating manual, accessible via the [HELP] button on the remote. This system allows users to search for information by keyword, purpose, or support topics.
The TV incorporates automatic panel maintenance to preserve picture quality. This maintenance occurs in two types: normal (approx. 10 minutes) and regular (approx. 80 minutes). Regular maintenance is prompted by an on-screen message when necessary. During maintenance, the LED indicator turns orange, and users should avoid touching or exerting pressure on the screen.
The manual emphasizes several safety precautions, including proper handling of the mains plug and lead, ensuring stable TV placement, avoiding exposure to moisture or foreign objects, and proper battery installation for the remote control. It also advises against disassembling or modifying the TV or its pedestal and highlights the importance of professional installation for wall-hanging brackets.
Regular cleaning involves gently wiping surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dirt and fingerprints. For stubborn dirt, a soft cloth dampened with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water) can be used. It is crucial to wring out the cloth firmly to prevent liquid from entering the TV and to wipe away all moisture afterward. Users are cautioned against using hard cloths, rubbing surfaces too hard, or exposing them to insect repellent, solvents, or thinners, as these can degrade surface quality or cause paint peeling. The display panel is specially treated and can be easily damaged, so care should be taken not to tap or scratch it.
The mains plug should be wiped with a dry cloth at regular intervals to prevent moisture and dust accumulation, which could lead to fire or electrical shock.
The remote control requires R03 batteries. When replacing, ensure correct polarity, use only the same or equivalent type, and do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types. Rechargeable batteries are not recommended. Batteries should be disposed of correctly and removed if the unit will not be used for a prolonged period to prevent leakage.
While not explicitly detailed as a user-initiated maintenance feature, smart TVs often receive software updates to improve performance and add new features. Users should ensure their TV is connected to the internet to receive these updates.
The manual includes a "FAQs" section to help users troubleshoot common issues such as the TV not switching on, remote control not working, no image display, or unusual image display. It suggests checking cable connections, input modes, picture settings, and performing the built-in Self Test or initialising all settings if problems persist. For issues related to external equipment connected via HDMI, it advises checking [HDMI Auto Setting] and audio output formats.
