Press MENU on the TV’s remote control. If the menu is displayed, then the TV is working; recheck above steps.

Press the INFO button on the remote to confirm the type of signal being received (p. 19). 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.

Try viewing a picture from another device, such as a DVD player or a game console, to narrow down the source of the problem.

Change settings of Closed Caption (CC). (p. 19, 52)

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).

The Plasma 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.
