Oh no, the TV doesn’t turn on !!! even though it was normal last night, was it because I watched the movie from USB? That was a glimpse of the wife’s information when she wanted to watch TV and my guess about that. Yup, there is no orange standby indicator lights on, I have tried to unplug and reinstall the power cable, only the yellow indicator light flashes once it dies. My wife said the next morning the F2 was tinkering around the back of the TV. I was not suspicious of his behavior at the time, considering that the TV was installed on the wall, so what would he want to do with him?

Finally I tried to get out of the wall and put it temporarily on the floor while trying to handle it further and finally still nothing. Finally, I call 0804-111-1111, the process is not too long to bring in technicians, about 1-2 days ahead at a cost of Rp. 100,000 because it’s not guaranteed, if it’s true, I give thumbs up to Panasonic. If you want to read the reason I chose Panasonic, please read here.

There was no news on the first day and then I was contacted by a technician around 11am and was promised to arrive around 3pm. Because I was on holiday so there were no problems with that time, but if it couldn’t, it could have been rescheduled. Around 3:30 p.m. WIB, 2 technicians arrived at the house and immediately checked, the temporary results were the same as my previous check.

In less than 5 minutes, my TV had been exposed to the back, assisted by Analog Multimeters not found any damage symptoms, but the technician suspected that there was damage on the mainboard. How much is it, sir? About 1.5 million he said, wow the head was immediately surrounded by Morning Star. I have not made a decision for that and the TV components are paired as before, because there are no indications of damage, so he want to try again and thank God it can light up. It was informed by the first technician who seemed “lucky” to find such a problem when the installation process returned, which was caused by the power button in the back position turned off and correct when the results were tested again. the button is in the off position, why does the indicator just blink once and then die? ” it turns out if it is not in the standby position or is turned off, it will be the result.

Investigate, it might be true like the wife’s info at the beginning, 99% of the perpetrators were F2, because only him cute hand could slip between the gaps, if at the moment he had been able to speak, maybe confession would be made, hahaha. So after checking again, finally my TV can be used again.

In this case I would like to thank the two technicians (sorry, I forgot the name) and CS named Yuni who helped me, hopefully Panasonic can maintain this fast service to its customers. Thank you Panasonic.

 

Easy Mirroring & Youtube Casting Guide

Easy Mirroring & Youtube Casting Guide

by | Aug 20, 2017 | guide

Continuing the previous article, this time I will discuss the Easy Mirroring and Youtube Casting features. Easy Mirroring (EM), is the name of the feature found on this Panasonic TV, it may be different from the name of other brands, as well as the name on the Smartphone (HP) if the feature is available, on the Asus HP (Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE551KL, Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML and Asus Zenfone 5Q) is PlayTo and Multi-screen Interaction on the Oppo F7. As the name implies, this feature will display the same image from the cellphone screen to the TV screen using wireless media and without the need for an internet connection. Please make sure the wireless media on the TV and cellphone is activated so that it can be connected.

Here are the requirements and guidelines for Easy Mirroring on Asus cellphones along with their pictures:

Requirement:

  1. Enable the wireless feature on the cellphone (does not need to be connected to a router or Access Point).
  2. Enable the Easy Mirroring feature on the TV (it is on by default) and the TV is on (not standby mode).

Guide on Asus HP:

  1. Select Settings – More under Wireless & networks.

2. Select PlayTo and the cellphone will search for media around it.

  1. Select the found device and then HP will ask for permission to connect to the TV device.

  1. If allowed, Easy Mirroring will automatically occur on cellphones and TVs marked with the Airplay logo (on the upper left side) and wireless transmission (in the upper center).

 

 

5. The process I tried had a gap of about 1-2 seconds between the transfer on the cellphone and the TV.

For HP Oppo F7 :

  1. Select Settings – Other Wireless Connections – Multi-screen Interaction, swipe right to enable it.

  1. Select Search to search for the device, and the rest is like steps 3 and 4 above.

 

 

Youtube Casting (YC), this is my own naming, you are free if you want to give a different name, in essence it is to display Youtube broadcasts from cellphones to TV. Unlike EM, YC will only display on the TV videos played from the Youtube application on the cellphone and we can still open other menus without disturbing the course of the video.

The requirement is that you need an internet connection on both your cellphone and TV (because you will open the Youtube application on your TV, even if I have offline videos on Youtube, it will not be able to be played on your TV if there is no internet connection).

There are 2 ways in this process according to the information that can be seen from Youtube Settings on the TV, namely:

  1. Connection with wireless media.

The cellphone and TV (in the living condition, not standby mode) are connected in the same network (can use wireless media or cable for TV). Open the Youtube application on your cellphone, then the Casting icon will appear, select the icon and it will immediately open the Youtube application on the TV.

Currently, I have only done a test from 1 TV, it is possible that if there are 2 Smart TVs, there will be an option for the selection of the Casting.

 

 

  1. Connection with code.

If there is a SMART TV that is already connected to the internet but the cellphone (using a data package) is not connected to the router or AP (the same network as the TV), is it possible? This can still be done through the unit code from Youtube on TV, why do I call it unique? because the code will continue to change.

The way to connect with the code is :

  • Open the Youtube app on your TV, select Settings – Link with TV code.

  • Open the Youtube application on your cellphone, select your profile picture (upper right corner) and select Settings on Account.

  • Select Watch on TV, select ENTER TV CODE, enter the code obtained from the Youtube application on the TV (open the Youtube application on the TV, select After and select Link with TV code, the TV code will appear), click Link, then the cellphone is connected to the TV.

 

 

To see the devices connected to your Smart TV, open the Youtube app and select Settings – Linked devices.

What if the first cellphone is connected first, then there are 2 or 3 other cellphones that do Casting simultaneously? The result is that all the videos (other than the first cellphone) that should be played will turn into the first cellphone video that is being played at that time on the screen of the other cellphone, quite fairly in my opinion, so whoever connects first, he is the one who controls the TV. Another thing is that if I select Add to Queue, it will be the queue from before.

 

 

I inform you again, the two features above (EM and YC) cannot run together. That’s the provisional information that I can convey, thank you.

Note: I have re-edited this article because there is an addition of Asus Zenfone 5Q and Oppo F7 devices.

 

Thank You Panasonic

Panasonic Viera TH-40DS500G TV Review

by | Jun 6, 2017 | information

At first I didn’t intend to buy a TV, even though our TV had been broken since a few months ago, but instead of following my wife around shopping (you know what kind of girl when shopping, wkwkwk), it is better for me to go around in the same location with my child. I stopped at the electronic place, it was very fitting at that time in front of the TV layout and it seemed that there was a “bond” of hearts, hahaha.

Yes, the TV I saw at that time was a Smart TV that was already Full HD and had an Easy Mirroring feature, other features were standard for me. Even though my previous TV was also Full HD, then I will still look for at least Full HD again, if there is a fortune, I will probably try 4K, amiinn. For Easy Mirroring, I have also tried it on an office TV and it is interesting to use, the rest I want to try Smart TV.

After going through a deeper check, as deep as the ocean, finally wrapped. Oh yes, another reason is, Panasonic Customer Care which I have “known well” even though there are no electronic goods under my Panasonic brand.

The following is the result of information that I can convey after a few months of using and resetting the TV:

  1. For some reason I can’t get any more digital broadcasts, after being reset, previously there were 2 channels.

Note: it turns out that the position of the antenna affects the TV channel and around April 2022 TV stations in Indonesia entered the digital era, almost everything can be obtained.

  1. For Youtube connections to freeze several times, it must be restarted several times in order to log in.

Note: it turns out that internet bandwidth affects when opening Youtube, previously my bandwidth was only 20 Mbps and then upgraded to 50 Mbps.

  1. The Netflix and UP buttons are close together, sometimes I press them wrong.
  2. The TV remote application is also available on the Play Store, namely the TV Remote 2 from Panasonic.

Note: around 2023 Panasonic has issued an application update to the TV Remote 3.

  1. I tried to watch movies from USB with .mkv format, of the 2 movies that existed, only 1 was successfully run, for movie 1 again the info “Player not supported” appeared.

Maybe for the time being, there are only a few points that I can inform. For the Easy Mirroring feature, a separate article will be created and TV information after being reset can be seen in the image below. Thanks.
