    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.
    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 1-877-95-VIERA (U.S.A.) or 1-866-330-
    0014 (Canada).
