  If you're experiencing no sound (or image) with your Panasonic Home Theater System, first ensure that muting is turned off. Check all connections to other devices and confirm that the received audio signal is compatible with the unit. Try turning the unit off and then on again. If connected to the TV with an HDMI cable, ensure the TV’s HDMI terminal is labeled “HDMI (ARC)”, if not, connect using the optical digital audio cable. Try reconnecting the unit with different cables and check the audio output settings on the connected device.
