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. 50)
Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is selected by
pressing the SAP button on the remote control. (p. 21)
If the TV is connected to a Panasonic Home Theater via HDMI cable,
then check VIERA Link controls. (p. 37)
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”, “HDMI 2 in”, “HDMI 3 in” or “HDMI 4 in” analog/
digital audio settings. (p. 50)
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 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”, you indicated in step - that you are using
Cable or Satellite box and in step - b that the box is connected
to one of the TV’s AV inputs. In this case, the Antenna/Cable input is
deactivated to prevent unintentional switching into unused tuner.
To re-activate, press MENU, select SETUP and repeat “First time
setup”.
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.
