Check the Remote Batteries

If your Panasonic TV remote isn’t working, check the batteries on the remote control and ensure it’s working properly.

[1] If your battery is old, it may be out of power and causing issues with your remote control. Insert a new battery to solve the problem.

[2] To check if the battery is working properly or not, perform an IR test on your remote control. Fetch your smartphone, open the camera and point the remote’s LED towards the camera and press any button. If the LED flashes, it’s working properly, if not, change the remote battery.

Reset Panasonic Remote

If you suspect your remote control isn’t working properly after inserting new batteries, perform a reset on your remote control.

[1] Open the battery compartment at the back of your remote control and remove the batteries.

[2] Now, press every button on the remote control at least once to drain all residual power.

[3] Press the Power button a few times.

[4] After that, re-insert the batteries into the battery compartment and close the dock.

[5] Use the Power button on the Panasonic TV to turn it on without using the remote. If it turns on, then the issue is with your remote. If it is not turning on, go to the next fix.

Blocked Sensor

If your IR (Infrared) sensor on your remote control is blocked by any physical object, the signal from the transmitter (remote control) isn’t transmitted to the receiver (Panasonic TV).

To solve the issue, remove the obstacles from the area between your Smart TV and the remote control. Make sure you are not more than 10 feet away from your TV. Because the IR signals only work over a limited distance.
