  Frequently Asked 
Questions (FAQ)

 How can I confirm that my TV is working properly?

 

 

 The TV has a built-in Self Test. On the remote control, 
press MENU and scroll down and select HELP to 
access the TV SELF TEST. Run the test and follow 
the on screen instructions.

 

 Why doesn’t the remote control work?

 

 

 Check that the batteries are fresh, are of the same 
type and are installed with the correct polarity (+ & -).

 

 To operate other devices, such as changing channels 
when using Cable or Satellite boxes, or operating 
non-Panasonic Blu-ray players, use the remote 
supplied with the device.

 

 Why is there no picture or just a blue, black or 
snowy screen being displayed?

 

 

 Ensure that the power cord is plugged in and the TV 
is turned on (front red LED light should be on, not 
blinking).

 

 Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the 
correct input source.

 

 Ensure all connections are correct and secure.

 

 When using external video source, such as a Cable/
Satellite box or DVD player, ensure that the device is 
on and functioning correctly.

 

 Press MENU on the TV’s remote control. If the menu 
is displayed, then the TV is working; recheck above 
steps.

 

 The display panel moves slightly and clattered 
sound is heard when it is pushed with a finger.

 

 

 There is a little gap around the panel to prevent 
damage to the panel. This is not a malfunction.

 

 Why is the screen blank and the power indicator 
blinking?

 

 

 The TV has gone into shutdown mode to protect 
itself. Try unplugging it for a few minutes and 
connecting it again. If there was a temporary power 
surge on the AC line it may now be OK. If the blinking 
returns, visit www.panasonic.com/support (U.S.A.) or 
www.panasonic.ca/english/support (Canada).

  Using eHELP 
(Built-in Manual)

 eHELP is a built-in manual that explains how to easily 
operate the TV’s features. Press the eHELP button to 
access the guide.
