Check that the correct SAP (Secondary Audio Program) is selected by pressing the SAP button on the remote control. (p. 15)

If the TV is connected to a Panasonic Home Theater via HDMI cable, then check VIERA Link controls. (p. 29)

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” or “HDMI 2 in” analog/digital audio settings.

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’)

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.

1.You need a broadband (high speed) Internet service with a speed of no less than 1.5 Mbps (p. 30).

2.Connect the TV to the Internet through your router by an Ethernet cable or a Panasonic Wireless LAN Adapter (Optional accessory).

3.Run the “Connections Test”, under the Network menu.

If Connection test fails, then check with your Internet service provider or router/modem manufacturer if there are firewall, content filter or proxy settings that may block the TV from accessing the Internet.

In the main menu, select “Network”. Select “Software update”. The current version and latest version software will be shown. If software update is “grayed out”, the TV is not connected to the Internet. If newer version is available, update your TV. Follow the on-screen instructions, do not power off the TV until the update is complete. Be patient; firmware update may take a while.

In the main menu, select “Network”. Highlight “Network software notice”.

Make sure that setting is “On”.

When the TV is turned On, update message is displayed if available. Follow the direction of the screen to download.

The TV’s internal software is designed to work with Panasonic’s Wireless LAN Adapter. Check www.panasonic.com/NetConnect for latest information.
