Problem Causes/Remedies
Connection 
I’ve reviewed the diagrams 
Panasonic provides but I don’t 
see one that illustrates my 
system.
Should I assume that this 
DVD Recorder wouldn’t be 
compatible?
Absolutely not! We’ve included connection diagrams for the most 
common ways the unit will be installed. Panasonic’s Customer Call 
Center will be happy to assist you. If you have any questions contact:
www.panasonic.com/dvdhelp/
1-800-211-PANA (7262)
Program listings 
No program listings available.
Program listings will be downloaded when this unit is turned off. When 
not in use, turn this unit off.
If connecting with a cable box or satellite receiver, these units must 
remain turned on to download program listings.
In step 2(
 [4]), did you correctly set up the TV Guide On Screen
®? 
(Check the connected cables, or antenna, the cable box or satellite 
setup, your ZIP Code, etc.)
If the ZIP Code where you live has recently changed, it is possible that 
it hasn’t been registered with TV Guide yet. If you have any questions 
contact:
www.panasonic.com/dvdhelp/
1-800-211-PANA (7262)
During the  rst 24 hours, did you experience a power outage?
The TV Guide On Screen
® system is only available if using DirecTV, 
cable TV, or off-air reception using a rooftop antenna. The TV Guide On 
Screen
® system is not available if you are using satellite services other 
than DirecTV.
If you use a cable box or DirecTV, check that it is correctly positioned to 
receive signals from the IR Blaster (
 Step 1).
I turned on the DVD Recorder, 
but the program listings were 
incomplete.
The  rst few days of listings usually appear within 24 hours after a 
successful Setup. It may take up to six days for the full eight days of 
program listings to appear.
I’ve noticed that some channels 
carried by my cable company are 
not listed.
Can they be added?
The TV Guide On Screen
® system selects the channels they include 
based on market popularity and local viewing area statistics.
Such statistics are constantly reviewed so it’s possible that the number 
of channels carried in your area will increase.
At this time you cannot manually add channels so that program listings 
will be included.
Operation
I’m trying to watch TV and the
channels keep changing.
This unit may tune your cable box or DirecTV receiver to a speci c 
channel to receive the TV Guide On Screen
® program listings.
The recorder will only do this when it is turned off.
To ensure the DVD Recorder does not tune to receive program listings 
while you are watching TV, turn the DVD Recorder on and use the DVD 
Recorder to watch TV.
Remember to turn the DVD Recorder off when not in use so it will 
receive program listings.
