  If the remote control for your Panasonic Blu-ray Player isn't working, try these solutions: * Change the manufacturer code of the remote control. * If you've recently changed the batteries, you might need to reset the manufacturer code or the remote control code. * The remote control and the main unit might be using different codes; change the code on the remote control. * The batteries may be depleted; replace them with new ones.

  If your Panasonic Blu-ray Player won't eject the disc, while the unit is off, press and hold the [;] and [< OPEN/CLOSE] buttons on the main unit simultaneously for about 5 seconds. This should force the tray to eject. After ejecting, remove the disc and consult a dealer.

  If your Panasonic Blu-ray Player fails to start playback or stops immediately after starting, it could be due to a dirty disc. Make sure to insert the media correctly with the label facing up. It's also possible you're trying to play a blank or unplayable disc.

What to do if my Panasonic Blu-ray Player is on but not responding?

  Charles SimsAug 10, 2025
  If your Panasonic Blu-ray player is on but not responding, it's possible a safety device has been activated. Try these steps to reset it: 1. Press the power button on the main unit to put it in standby mode. If it doesn't switch off, press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds to force standby. Alternatively, disconnect the AC power cord, wait a minute, and reconnect it. 2. Press the power button again to turn it on. If it still doesn't work, consult a dealer. Condensation could also be the problem. If so, wait 1 to 2 hours for it to evaporate.

Why does my Panasonic DMP-BD70V Blu-ray Player start up so slowly?
- F
  fquinnAug 15, 2025
  If your Panasonic Blu-ray Player is starting up slowly, ensure that 'Quick Start' is set to 'On'. Also, if connected to an “HDAVI Control 4” compatible TV (VIERA) with the “Stand-by power save” setting activated on the TV, the unit may take some time to startup when the TV is in standby mode, even with 'Quick Start' set to 'On'. Startup may also take longer immediately after a power failure or when the AC power cord is connected, and when the unit is connected with an HDMI cable.

How to enable 24p output on my Panasonic DMP-BD70V Blu-ray Player?
- K
  kgalvanAug 19, 2025
  To set “On” in “24p Output” on your Panasonic Blu-ray Player, ensure the unit is connected to the HDMI terminal of a TV that supports 24p. If connected through an amplifier/receiver via HDMI, you might not be able to select 'On'. In this case, connect the unit directly to the TV via HDMI and connect the unit to the amplifier/receiver through any terminal other than HDMI.
