panasonic tv and sky TV

[Lynton]

help!

We have had sky+ for oh a good couple of years now with the same sky TV and no leads between the two have been removed.

Until yesterday morning, the sky+ remote used to switch the tv on and off, do the volume etc, all the things that would be tv specific.

Since then... it does everything sky, but nothing TV.... seems akin to 2 bluetooth devices becoming unpaired...

If I press the volume button on the sky handset, the red light comes on, suggesting signal being sent. The Panasonic TV handset does all it is supposed to..

Any ideas of how to make them talk to each other?

I have looked through sky's FAQ section but to no avail...

You might need to 're-code' the handset to work with your TV.

See if this helps:

Try 0051 as PanasonIc code.

cheers...

I assumed the code was to do with the sky remote not the TV...

tried 0000 as a default and 0051 as a panasonic but nope...

Rather than buy a new sky+ remote will use 2 remotes!

I would use the link above to try all of the manufacturer codes, there can be several you need to try.

The codes are for the Sky remote. 0000 is not a Panasonic code.

PANASONIC 0051 678, 254, 278, 154, 242, 241, 368, 128, 191

Directions

The remote control can also operate the basic TV functions (Channel changing / volume control / Text etc) on around 90% of TV manufacturers.
The 4 digit code (Shown in your Sky handbook) is used to identify the make and manufacturer of your TV. The individual 3 digit codes are used for each manufacturer.
To program using the 3 digit code.
1) Switch on the TV set
2) Press the TV button on the Sky Remote
3) Hold down the select and red buttons for 2-3 seconds until the LED blinks twice
4) Enter the 3 digit code
5) Press the select button to store
Press TV and any number to test, If this does not operate the TV set try below.

To program using the 4 digit code
1) Switch on the TV set
2) Press the TV button on the Sky Remote
3) Hold down the select and red buttons for 2-3 seconds until the LED blinks twice
4) Press the TV button on the Sky Remote again
5) Enter the 4 digit code for your make of TV
6) The LED should blink twice, if not recheck the 4 digit code used and go back to 1
7) Press TV then the standby button on the Sky Remote (The TV should go to standby)
8) Press select to store this setting
If the TV does not go into standby press the TV button then the standby button, then TV then standby, keep repeating this until successful. This will scan the codes used for a particular make of TV.
