FAQ

Problem Causes / Remedies

Connection

I’ve reviewed the diagrams

Panasonic provides but I don’t

see one that illustrates my

system.

Should I assume that this

DVD Recorder wouldn’t be

compatible?

Absolutely not! We’ve included connection diagrams for the most common

ways the unit will be installed. Panasonic’s Customer Call Center will be

happy to assist you. If you have any questions contact :

(U.S.A.) www.panasonic.com/dvdhelp/

1-800-211-PANA (7262)

(Canada) www.panasonic.ca

1-800-561-5505

Program listings

No program listings available

Program listings will be downloaded when this unit is turned off. When not in

use, turn this unit off.

If connecting with a cable box or DirecTV receiver, these units must remain

turned on to download program listings.

In step 2(

), did you correctly set up the TV Guide On Screen™? (Check

the connected cables, or antenna, the cable box or satellite setup, your ZIP

Code, etc.)

If the ZIP Code where you live has recently changed, it is possible that it

hasn’t been registered with TV Guide yet. If you have any questions contact :

(U.S.A.) www.panasonic.com/dvdhelp/

1-800-211-PANA (7262)

(Canada) www.panasonic.ca

1-800-561-5505

During the ﬁ rst 24 hours, did you experience a power outage?

The TV Guide On Screen™ system is only available if using DirecTV, cable

TV, or over-the-air reception using a rooftop antenna. The TV Guide On

Screen™ system is not available if you are using satellite services other than

DirecTV.

If you use a cable box or DirecTV, check that it is correctly positioned to

receive signals from the IR Blaster (

Step 1,

I turned on the DVD Recorder,

but the program listings were

incomplete.

The ﬁ rst few days of listings usually appear within 24 hours after a successful

Setup. It may take up to six days for the full eight days of program listings to

appear.

I’ve noticed that some channels

carried by my cable company

are not listed.

Can they be added?

The TV Guide On Screen™ system selects the channels they include based

on market popularity and local viewing area statistics.

Such statistics are constantly reviewed so it’s possible that the number of

channels carried in your area will increase.

At this time you cannot manually add channels so that program listings will

be included.

Operation

I’m trying to watch TV and the

channels keep changing.

This unit may tune your cable box or DirecTV receiver to a speciﬁ c channel

to receive the TV Guide On Screen™ program listings.

The DVD Recorder will only do this when it is turned off.

To ensure the DVD Recorder does not tune to receive program listings while

you are watching TV, turn the DVD Recorder on and use the DVD Recorder

to watch TV.

Remember to turn the DVD Recorder off when not in use so it will receive

program listings.
