42 QuestionsAnswers Picture Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) If there is a problem with your TV, please refer to the table below to determine the symptoms, then carry \ out the suggested check. If this does not solve the problem, visit the Panasonic\ web site for further assistance. (see cover) How do I view the picture from devices such as a: Cable/ Satellite box, game console, Blu-ray or DVD player? Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the correct input source. Check that the device is turned on and functioning correctly. Why is there no picture or just a blue, black or snowy screen being displayed? Check if 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, check 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. Why doesn’t the picture look like it is in High Definition? Press the INFO button on the remote to confirm the type of signal being received (p. 15). HD signal should be 720P, 1080i or 1080p. Select a High Definition channel from your HD source (Cable, Satellite or fiber optic service). HD channels sometimes broadcast non-HD content. Ensure that your HD source (HD box, Blu-ray player, etc.) is connected to the TV with an HDMI or Component cable and set to output an HD video signal. Why do black bars appear on the top and bottom and/or sides of the screen? Change the format (aspect ratio) of the picture by pressing the FORMAT button on the remote control. (p.16) Check the aspect settings on your external video source, such as Cable/Satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray Disc player, etc. Note: Some content, such as film-based movies, are available in extra-wide format. Top and bottom bars are unavoidable. Why is the picture snowy when “ANT/Cable in” is selected? When using a cable service (without a box), check that all connections are secure. When using a cable or satellite box, change the connection (wiring) to Composite, Component or HDMI. (p.10) If you’re using an antenna, then check that connections are secure. Change the position or direction of the antenna and check the “Signal meter”. (p.29) Why is the picture chaotic and/ or torn and/or with a buzz in the speakers? Check if electrical products such as kitchen appliances, fluorescent lig\ hts or light dimmers are nearby. They may interfere with the TV’s picture. Try viewing a picture from another device, such as a DVD player or a game console, to narrow down the source of the problem. Why is there a black box on the screen? Change settings of Closed Caption (CC). (p. 15, 38) 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, call 1-877-95VIERA (U.S.A.) or 1-866-330-0014 (Canada). Why do some small spots on the screen remain bright or dark? The LCD panel is made up of a few million pixels and is produced with advanced technology through an intricate process. Sometimes a few pixels may be bright or dark. These pixels do not indicate a defective panel and will have no impact on the performance of the TV. UD@-@D@FOH@JOECUD@-@D@FOH@JOEC
43 Support Information Frequently Asked Questions QuestionsAnswers Sound Other Why is there no sound coming from the TV? Make sure the volume is up and MUTE is off. Confirm the TV speakers are set to ON by pressing MENU and selecting “Audio” --> “Advanced audio”. (p.32) Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is selected by pressing the SAP button on the remote control. (p.15) If the TV is connected to a Panasonic Home Theater via HDMI cable, then check VIERA Link controls. (p.22) If the TV is connected to a Home Theater via optical cable, then: Check the connection, the audio system is on, the correct input is selected. Check “HDMI 1 in” or “HDMI 2 in” analog/digital audio settings. (p. 32) Why is the sound unusual, distorted, low volume or in another language? Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is selected by pressing the SAP button on the remote control. Check that all connections of external equipment connected to the TV are secure. When using Cable or Satellite box, check the device’s audio settings. (example: try changing the box’s Audio Range to ‘narrow’) Why is there a clicking, ticking or buzzing sound coming from the TV unit? When TV power is turned on or shut off there are electrical components that make a click sound. This is normal operation. Changes in the temperature and humidity of the room may cause thermal expansion and contraction that can produce sounds. This is not a sign of faulty operation or a malfunction. What is the easiest and best way to connect a High-Definition Cable or Satellite box to the TV? Use an HDMI cable. It carries both digital video and audio signal in HD. HDMI cable is the only cable needed to connect an HD device to the TV. Why is there no yellow jack (video 1 input) on the back of the TV? The Video 1 input is shared with the Component input. Just connect the yellow plug into the green jack. Be sure to connect the red and white audio plugs into the appropriate red and white audio inputs. (p. 10) Why does the CC button not display Closed Caption? When viewing TV via an HDMI connected device, such as a Cable or Satellite box, CC must be enabled at the device. Closed Caption is available only at supported TV programming. Why does the screen and back cover of the TV get warm? The main unit radiates heat and some of the parts may become hot. This is normal operation and does not affect the performance of the set. Ensure good ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the TV and do not place the TV on top of other equipment. 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 the “ANT/Cable” option at the top of the “Input select” menu gray-out and cannot be selected? During “First time setup”, step 3, you indicated that the “Antenna/Cable in” connector is “not used” (p.13). This is the proper setting if the TV is connected to a Cable or Satellite box via any of the other inputs. To re-activate the “ANT/ Cable” input, press MENU, select SETUP and then redo the First time setup, selecting Cable or Antenna in step 3. Some menu items are grayed- out and cannot be selected. Why? Depending on certain modes or the selected input, some options are not available. For example, Zoom adjustments are only available when the FORMAT is changed to zoom mode.
