THE VIERA 2006 CONCEPT.

VIERA CREATES PERFECT PICTURES FOR MOVIES, SPORTS —
AND EVERYTHING ELSE
In scenes suffused in deep black, it is the subtle expressions of the actors and the sinister atmosphere that
captivate the viewer most. VIERA renders each image in clear, sharp detail and with a depth that draws you in
to the picture. Film productions spend huge sums of money and meticulous care is taken to make the sets,
lighting and other visual elements as compelling as possible. VIERA’S remarkable picture performance can
reproduce these carefully crafted images as the director envisioned them. The same superb performance that
allows VIERA to unleash the full emotion and beauty of a movie also makes VIERA the best choice for viewing
any other type of content.

DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION (DTT) IS
RECEIVED THROUGH A STANDARD SUITABLE
ROOF TOP AERIAL. 75% OF HOMES IN THE UK
ARE NOW ABLE TO RECEIVE FREE-TO-AIR DIGITAL
TERRESTRIAL BROADCASTS - FREEVIEW.
Viera televisions have a built-in Digital TV tuner which
receives Freeview when connected to a suitable roof top
aerial. Besides digital versions of the regular TV channels -
BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4 (S4C,S4C2 in Wales) and
Channel 5 there are approximately 40 other channels and 24
radio stations to choose from at no additional cost. In addi-
tion to this, Viera TV’s also include a Common Interface slot
so that 7-Day EPG pay services such as Top - Up TV can
be enjoyed.
7 - DAY EPG
Navigating around so many digital television and radio
services is easy with the Viera 7-Day EPG (Electronic
Programme Guide).
All programmes across all channels for today and up to a
week ahead are displayed in a clear format that allows the
viewer to plan what to watch and when. Programmes of
certain genres i.e. Movies, Drama, News, Children's etc can
be highlighted in the guide so that you can see at a glance

which then only display the channels that you prefer to
watch (up to four members of the family can each store
their own profile).
HDAVI CONTROL
A SMART NEW WAY TO ENJOY THE WORLD OF
HIGH-QUALITY HDMI
Now you can enjoy the beautiful sounds and pictures of
high-quality AV equipment without all the messy, unsightly
cables. With HDMI, a single cable carries the video, audio
and control signals between two digital components.
By using Panasonic HDAVI-Control compatible components,
you can turn on the power for your entire home theatre with
a single remote control button, and begin playback
immediately. Operating your DIGA recorder is easier and
smarter too. You can use the same remote controller you
use with your home theatre. When you select Play on the
DIGA recorder, VIERA's video input automatically switches
itself to DIGA playback.
