Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your remote control, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Remote is not working at all. | Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity. Replace old batteries with new AAA batteries. Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote and the TV's infrared receiver. |
| Some buttons are not responding. | Ensure the remote is pointed directly at the TV. Clean the remote's surface and buttons to remove any debris that might be obstructing button presses. If the issue persists, replace the batteries. |
| Remote works intermittently. | This often indicates low battery power. Replace the batteries. Ensure no objects are blocking the signal path. |
| Remote does not control Smart TV functions. | Verify that your Panasonic TV model supports the specific Smart TV functions you are trying to use. The remote is designed to replicate original functions, but some advanced features might be TV-model specific. |
