Hi my panasonic tv model ct-32e33g tv will not allow me to see any channels from cable however I am able to see movies. The screen is pitch black and no noise even of interference . Could u please hel

Hi Tony

You`ve mentioned that ON CERTAIN CHANNELS THE TV WORKS FINE, so your trying to say that not all channels THE BLACK SQUARE APPEARS IN THE MIDDLE O THE SCREEN... my be that black square is generated from the broadcast center. may be your unit is good. let me ask you how many channels that your tv works fine..?

This is a function of your set-top box (STB), and has nothing to do with the TV. I know several FiOS users with the same trouble, and it's annoying but there isn't anything you can do to "fix" it. What is really strange is that the screen size can change even on the same channel, depending on the particular program being broadcast. It has to do with the aspect ratio of the programming from the provider.

cable signal is weak. Tech. must check house wiring.

I hv PANASONIC COMMERCIAL TV - MODEL CT 2522 HE.
I am facing problem to preogramme all channels.when I open MANU with univeral remote control,or panasonic master remote,I donot find option for PROGRAMME CHANNEL.SOME OF THE CHANELS SKIP,I want all channels to be programmed..pls give the solution

try all 0000 see what happens sometimes that is factory code hope it works

Hi,

Apologies for the delay in response. Your concern was just brought to my attention.

To your recording, based on your second posting (and would appreciate corrective information where applicable), your system is:

• Cable provider > Cable Decoder Box > Panasonic DMR-E75V > TV (equipment setup)
• single coaxial cable > yellow, red & white > yellow, red & white (wiring setup).

With your indulgence, a couple clarifying questions:

• to watch the Panasonic when you play DVDs, to what channel or source or setting must the TV be set to?
• to record a TV program/channel, to what channel or source or setting must the Panasonic be set to?
• what is the brand and model of your Cable Decoder Box?

Initially, pls try:

• play any known good DVD disc/movie. power on the TV and set to watch said movie;
• without changing anything on the TV, STOP the playing of the DVD;
• try changing channel on your Cable Decoder Box's remote;
• pls post back result(s); or
• do the above steps again but before changing the channels on the decoder box's remote;
• try changing/cycling through the different input/source of the Panasonic DVD;
• again post back result(s).

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

When you use the Time Warner Digital box, you're using the tuner inside that box rather than the tuner inside your TV to select a channel. Picture in picture TV's have two tuner's inside so you can view two channels, but they can only tune the analog channels from your cable company, and only if it's hooked up in a manner that will permit this to happen.

So you only have one digital tuner (the Time Warner Box) so you can only view one channel at a time even though your TV supports Picture in Picture.

It MAY be possible to have limited use of the PIP if you connect your TV in a different way. Your Time Warner box is most likely connected to your TV set with composite cables, those are the Yellow, Red, White cables. If you buy a coaxial cable splitter and split the cable before it goes into the Time Warner box you can then run a coax cable into both the Time Warner box and the coax input on your TV. This would allow you to tune the analog Time Warner channels with both of your TV's tuners. In my area I think the first 60 channels or so are still available in analog, but there is no way to watch any of the higher premium channels without the Time Warner box.

If you go through these steps and you select the coax input on your TV your PIP will work on the lower channels. It MAY be possible to tell your TV to display the input from the composite cables on one of the PIP screens and the input from the coax on the other, but I kind of doubt it.

I know this sounds complicated and if you're not familiar with the way all this works it is complicated. The reason lots of people won't respond to this kind of question on this site is because there is no easy fix and by trying to help I run the risk of getting a bad rating. I don't get paid for this, I just like trying to help, so if I have not explained this in a way that's helpful to you please ask some additional questions before you give me a bad rating. Thanks.

It worked fine yesterday. Sound on all channels. Sometimes the picture goes black on channel 6. We can get it back by going up one channel, then back to 6. it is due to cable signal ie weak. now there is no sound this is due to sound section 1 loose connect in sound section 2 speaker 3 problem in sound section some part must have failed.

I think maybe the G-board needs to be replaced. A TV shop will have to repair it. They normally start around $200.00

You maist likely have bad ground connections inside the tuner of this TV set. Good Luck
