Hi everyone,
I hope someone with experience with Panasonic tvs can help with an unusual problem that has arisen concerning the viera link function in my system. I have a Panasonic TX32LXD70 and a Onkyo HT R380 receiver (with a Pioneer BDP-140 blu ray player and a PS3 linked to the receiver via the appropriate hdmi inputs on the receiver if that matters). I have the TV/receiver connected with a QED hdmi performance 1.3 cable from the receiver out terminal to the hdmi 1 terminal on the tv.
Up until recently, when I pressed the viera link button on the remote the viera link menu would be displayed. In this menu there was two sub-menus; viera link control and speaker selection. Viera link control would allow me to cycle through various components so they could be controlled by the tv remote e.g. recorder / player / home cinema / video camera. I had this set to home cinema which allowed me to control volume using the tv remote.
The speaker selection sub menu allowed me to select the tv speakers or the home cinema speakers to output the sound from the connected components.
Yesterday, when I switched my system on to watch a film, when I pressed the viera link button the viera link menu only displays the viera link control sub menu i.e. the speaker selection sub menu has disappeared completely! And the viera link control sub menu no longer allows me to cycle through the options listed above i.e. the only available option is others and when I select this I get the message Please use the others remote controller. This means I cant control the receiver with the tv remote but more annoyingly, I cant select to have the sound coming from the tv or the surround sound speakers i.e. it comes out through both (when watching a blu-ray/using the PS3).
I have tried the preparation procedures as outlined in the tv manual, resetting the tv / receiver to their factory settings, turned on the hdmi control on both components, changed the hdmi from terminal 1 on the tv to terminal 2 and tried several hdmi cables. Nothing seems to revert the system to the way it was and I cannot get the full functionality of the viera link menu back. I cannot for the life of me work it out as nothing changed from when it was working to now.
If anyone as any advice or has heard of this problem before, I would appreciate it immensely.
Thanks, Steve
