Panasonic CT-36SL13 Can't select video inputs

This set may have a bad tuner or input connector--it is possible with a cable box to connect to one of the rear sets of audio/video jacks and bypass the problem........

you have to have the TV set to the right input, look on your remote for input selection. Or try changing the channel on your TV

Since yo're getting a good picture from DVD then TV is OK. Replace (reset it first) the box.

PRESS POWER SWITCH AND ACTION FOR 3 SECOND

the small fues in the back

This is from page 5 of the Operating Instructions:



TV set can
receive 480i signal only.



This means the television is NOT high definition, it is a STANDARD definition television.

Check Power Cord is Plugged into Active Outlet
Adjust Brightness and Audio Controls Change Channel Check Cable Connections Program the Remote Control Again Check Second Video Source Operation As warranty has expired, check if fuse at power supply input is ok.
Consult online manual for troubleshooting.

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.

Yes this is certaintly a strange one, as you say not all channels have it?? Ok lets try to narrow it down a bit. Do you have cable or satallite ? Is the cable or sat. connectected through the video inputs or does your TV have to be on a certain channel? ok and you say its not there when your watching a dvd? The only answer here is that you have a problem with your cable or the sat system, as the channel stays the same on whatever channel your watching while on the cable, so if you have a problem with some and not others , Your TV dosent know the differance from one channel or another, as its always on the same channel on the tv . So what does this tell you?? Theres a problem with the sat or cable reciver! Cant be the TV as I said the TV doent know the differance from one channel to another as it always stays on the same channel. Sounds like you need toi have cable come in to check the impedence and signal streinth.. now if your sying thast the tvs on locals and some do it and others dont ?? then theres outside interference causeing this problem? Good luck
