I have a panasonic TC-P50ST30 and viera link will not work with my charter HD DVR cable box. I have a HDMI cable connecting them.What can I do?

Increase the volume on the TV and/or your connected media device (streaming player, Blu-ray player, cable or satellite box, etc.). Check the audio settings on your TV and connected devices. Turn off and unplug your TV and connected devices. Inspect the TV cables and ports, then check the ones on your devices as well.

1. Check Mute. Make sure the sound on your TV isn't muted. Push the Mute button on your TV remote. ...
2. Adjust Volume. On your TV remote, use the Volume Up/Down buttons. ...
3. Sound Menu. Push the Menu button on your TV Remote.

Do you mean the Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30? The manual is available from the manufacturer on the product page: http://shop.panasonic.com/support-only/TC-P50ST30.html . Scroll down past the Firmware, Tutorials and Specifications sections. The direct link to the English version of the manual is http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/TCP42ST30.PDF . (You will need Adobe Reader or a similar program available to read the manual.) The English version is the second link in the Owner's Manuals and Documentation section.

I hope this helps.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

What do you have hooked up to the HDMI ports? Just a cable box?

Most likelly it is your DVR that has a problem. Their are a lot of issues with those DVR's from the cable or satellite companies. I would recomend swapping it out.

Use the component connection not the HDMI. Some of the ATT boxes have issues with the HDMI ports. Uverse is only broadcast in 1080i not p so you will not lose any video quality.

1. Connect cable to cable HD DVR box, connect video out of cable box to Sony receiver TV video in, connect audio L and R out of cable box to Sony receiver TV audio in and connect TV out of receiver to video in of Panasonic projector 2. Connect Audio and Video out of DVD player respectively to DVD in of receiver. Good Luck :)

Open the menu, then go to setup, there should be a closed caption options in there, also remember that CC can only be passed via a transmitted cable signal. If you have a Cable box or Satellite box connected via HDMI, or its pushing a HD signal (720p, 480p) the CC box is from the Sat or Cable box, test the settings on the box.

Hopefully the tv has multiple HDMI inputs.....
Plug HD cable box straight into tv with HDMI
All other inputs into home theatre
HDMI from home theatre to tv HDMI

I found that since the Panasonic TH50PZ80U TV has only 2 HDMI ports on the back of the TV, the best solution for me was to use component (red, blue, green) cables to connect the Home Theatre to the TV. I suppose I/you could connect the home theatre to the HDMI port on the front panel, but I don't want cables hanging out the front of the TV (personal preference). Unfortunately, I am no longer able to use the VIERA Link functionality available by connecting all Panasonic components to each other using HDMI cables, but I feel it's a small price to pay for the incredible picture quality acheived by using the HDMI cable to connect the HD Cable Box to the TV. I may yet be able to control everything using the HD Cable Box remote, but I haven't gotten that far yet but I've got Comcast coming on Saturday and hopefully they can let me know if this is possible: let me know if you have a solution.

So here are the components and the cable types used to connect:

1. HD Cable Box to TV: HDMI cable & Optical Audio cable
2. Home Theatre to TV: Red, Blue & Green component cables
3. BluRay Player to TV: HDMI cable

I hope this helps someone else.
