| 1422277 | 2016-06-22 20:57:00 | This is the second time this has happened since I bought this TV a couple of months ago.... I have my Chromecast plugged into the HDMI3 port - last night I quickly flicked a YouTube video up from my phone (too lazy to go hunting for the video in the YouTube app on the TV) and when I had finished watching it, attempted to go back to the 'normal' TV channel (HDMI1 - being fed from a TiVo unit). None of the buttons on the TV remote work - except for things like Menu and Volume. The Input Select buttons on the TiVo remote don't work either. I turned the TV off overnight, but this morning, after rebooting it, the input is still HDMI3 and the buttons on the remotes are still unresponsive... I don't recall what I did to fix it last time (I suspect some fortuitous button mashing combo did the trick).... Any hints? |

When my TV lost the plot, I rang LG and they said to leave it unplugged for 5 hours and call them back after that. I did, plugged it in, same issue, so they sent somebody out to collect / repair the unit. I'd imagine Panasonic would offer something similar? |

| 1422280 | 2016-06-22 22:42:00 | Managed to get around the issue (and now I know how to fix it the next time it happens). On the back/side of the TV are some buttons (Channel up/down, Volume up/down and INPUT) - I used these to select the input I wanted and now the remote is behaving itself. Thanks guys |

| 1422281 | 2016-06-23 01:25:00 | for next time.. :-) May just be the TV having a fit at whats plugged into the HDMI ports . Unplug everything & restart the TV Or unplug from the power & wait, rather than the semi-off the the Off button gives (its still semi on when 'off' ) My Samsung occasionally has issues turning on with the Media PC plugged into the HDMI |

Including an overnight switch off (at the wall)... Temperamental technology!!! I WILL get to the bottom of it - eventually... |
