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(
4
), 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,
3
).
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.
