Panasonic Remote Controls
The sheer number buttons on a Panasonic remote control is enough to confuse most people so don’t worry if you’re in this boat. Losing your remote control can turn into a right pain as you try and replace it with something that works. In the mean time you’re stuck getting up and changing the TV manually!
Panasonic make remote controls for a wide range of products including:
TVs
Laptops
Camcorders
Camera’s
DVD players
Why you would need a remote control for a digital camera I don’t know but they do make them!
This website focuses on TV remote control, because it has the biggest impact on your life if you lose it! Fortunately, the technology behind TV remote controls has markedly improved in recent years in as much a number of different controllers are able to operate each television.
Example of a Panasonic Remote Control
Panasonic are particularly good at this and it’s not uncommon for their TV remote controls to have the ability to change a Panasonic digital set top box or a Panasonic DVD players. For this reason it’s advisable to ensure that your entire home cinema set up is the same brand, as it will reduce your dependency on any particularly controller.
Replacing TV controls for old TVs is somewhat problematic. Panasonic themselves are not particularly helpful when you contact them so I advise you contact a local television specialist. These are unfortunately dying out but most towns and cities still contain one. Staff at these shops will be able to answer questions on specific models of television and advise if it is possible to get a replacement and if so where it can be purchased from.
Universal Controls
Thankfully, universal remote controls have also come on leaps and bounds in the last decade and they are all compatible with Panasonic TVs. You can every get all the features such as tuning as you’d expect to get from a standard remote control, although this will vary slightly between remote control models.
Universal controls have also fallen significantly in price, softening the blow of losing your Panasonic remote control somewhat.
