      Barbara DavisAug 22, 2025
      If your Panasonic Home Theater System has no power, first wait about 10 seconds after connecting the AC mains lead before switching on the main unit. If that doesn't work, disconnect the AC mains lead for 10 seconds and then reconnect it. If the unit switches off immediately after being turned on, disconnect the AC mains lead and consult your dealer. Also, if the unit doesn't switch on when you turn on the TV (HDMI CEC), try switching on the main unit manually.

    What to do if WIRELESS LINK indicator does not switch on Panasonic SC-HTB490 Home Theater System?
    • J
      John PorterSep 2, 2025
      If the WIRELESS LINK indicator on your Panasonic Home Theater System does not switch on, check that the main unit is switched on. The active subwoofer and the main unit may not be paired correctly, so try wireless pairing: switch on the main unit, then press and hold [I/D SET] on the rear of the active subwoofer for at least 3 seconds. You can also try switching off the main unit and then switching it on again. If the problem persists, consult your dealer. Check if the remote control and the main unit are using different codes, and change the code of the remote control if needed.

    • W
      Wesley JenningsSep 4, 2025
      If your Panasonic Home Theater System automatically switches to standby mode, it is likely because the “Auto off” function is on. The system automatically switches to standby mode if there is no signal input and no operation is being performed for approximately 20 minutes. Refer to page 17 to switch off this function.

    • S
      stephanie79Sep 6, 2025
      If HDMI CEC related operations no longer function properly on your Panasonic Home Theater System, check the settings on the connected devices. When the HDMI connections are changed, after a power failure, or after the AC mains lead has been removed, HDMI CEC operations may not function properly. Switch on all the devices connected to the TV with an HDMI cable and then switch on the TV. You can also try switching off the HDMI CEC settings of the TV and then switching it on again. While the system and the TV are connected with an HDMI cable, switch on the TV, disconnect the AC mains lead of this system, and then connect it again.
