What to do if there is no audio and my Panasonic SC-HTB520 Home Theater System turns off automatically?

  If there is no audio and your Panasonic Home Theater System turns off automatically, it could be due to a safety measure activated when the unit detects a problem. If the volume is extremely high, lower it. If the unit is in an extremely hot place, move it to a cooler place and wait a few moments before trying to turn it on again. If the problem persists, turn the unit off and remove the AC mains lead cord and consult your dealer. There is a problem with the amplifier.

What does it mean when the wireless link indicator lights red on my Panasonic SC-HTB520 Home Theater System?
- A
  April CarpenterSep 1, 2025
  If the wireless link indicator lights red on your Panasonic Home Theater System, there is no link between the main unit and the active subwoofer. Ensure that the main unit is turned on, that the digital transmitter is fully inserted into the digital transmitter dock on the main unit. Also, try turning the active subwoofer off and then back on, or disconnecting and reconnecting its AC mains lead.
