Troubleshooting 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, please contact your local Panasonic dealer, quoting the model number and serial number (both found on the rear of the TV).
DVB Troubleshooting Some problems will only occur when viewing DVB channels. Due to the different techniques involved in digital reception, DVB signal quality can be poor even if you appear to have a strong signal when viewing analogue programmes. The DVB system requires a good quality signal to provide the best picture. When viewing analogue pictures, interference such as signal reflection from nearby buildings or mountains causes ‘ghosting’, but still provides a viewable picture.
